 FASHION GLASS

New York, June 1s.--(speciaI. )--Tiats continue to be large and many of the brims are lined with a contrasting straw. The dropping brim upturned on the left side is very popular shape.
 Ruchine is worn In almost every kind of high stock. There Is a great va- riety to be found In this ruche which is made of lace, chiffon or plaited rib- bon in all the delicate colors and many times several harmonizing colors are combined.
 Tailored waists for morning wear are made with only a few tucks on the shoulders or none at all. To be really smart they must have the straight cuff which fastens with links and the perfectly plain waists have a tiny breast pocket on the left side.
 Cretonne is gaining more favor each week and which is the greatest rival of the beautiful new ribbons of the season. Parasols. separate coats, waist coats. hats. pomponns, and bows used in millinery and many smaller accesso- ries are soon made of this fashionable material.
 Ascot ties are very popular to wear with strictly tailor-made suits. They are made of madras. lawn or piQue and the ends are striped or dotted in all the attractive colors
 Lace panels are very fashionable on this years gowns. They are shown among the novelties in dress trim mings and come in different lengths. However, they should extend from the bust line down the front of the skirt as far as liked.
 Combining silk and voile Is consid- cred very smart and 1t is so cleverly done that it is hard to decide which is the trimming and which the princi- pal material. Soutache should not be omitted as part of the decoration for it is such an attractive finish for any costume.
 Pongee is made up into very pretty and some very elaborate costumes for afternoon and evening wear. A new bluish green shade is found extremely smart and also deep cerise a yellow tan and naauve. Never was there such variety In the qualities of any ma- terial as there is found In pongees There are light and heavy weights, smooth and rough surfaces, some with twill and others plain.
 Tsordered chiffon wraps are charm ingIy draped over afternoon toilettes and look especially well if the costume is cut on princess or umpire lines These wrans are gracefully folded in way to give a finishing touch to any street costume. and at the same time little warmth is found in them.
 Parasofs are exquisitely made of Princess lace and medallions in black over a white silk lining or all in white. Chiffon parasols are lovely and those of fllet and Irish crochet lace are per hang the most attractive. The Dresden | silks take the lead of the colored cover.
 Ribbon. plain, striped and spotted is much used in tailored millinery. A fad is to place the large, loose bow on the right side of the hat well near the back. while the brim Of the ieit side rolls upward. This seems odd to think of but 1t really gives stunning ef- fect. Seldom if ever are the bows seen in front, as was the fad a few seasons 1 ago.
 Jackets are being made without any sleeves, the blouse sleeves of net, nous seline or ruffles being sufficient A pretty idea Is to cut the armhole in 1 a wide v-shape, showing an underwaist | and sleeves of a different color and | material.
 Lingerie hats are extremely chic for summer wear but are much larger than | those seen before. Their. trimming is a combination of tulle, net and flow | CTS. The embroidered top Is placed 1 over a tightly wired frame of point | d'esprit, showing the edge of the brim bound with satin.
 Nets used for guimpes, waists and | Isa AAfa | in black and white. Eliot is embroid- cred in long stitches in white or color; white and ecru Is woven In narrow stripes: hilet for dresses and coats is embroidered in gold and chenille and nets lowered and figured are much in evidence in millinery and dresses.
 Bows of lawn embroidered with tiny French dots of a delicate color are very popular to wear with almost every toll cite except an evening gown. A turn | down linen collar embroidered in white l and matching color is the correct fn- ish. The little butterfly bow of white lawn embroidered in q color and having a scalloped edge has not lost it's pop ularity.
 | Flowers used in millinery this sea- son are the most perfect reproductions | of nature that have ever been seen Daisies, cowslips, sunnowers and pond lilies, orchids, geraniuns and hydran- geas are used in great quantities and with much foliage. One can scarcely | find a flower that is not worn. l
 Fans are seen in the most exquisite designs and colorings and the ones im- ported from Japan and Africa are per- haps the most beautiful. They are | generally made of silk, hand-painted
 in Japanese scenes representing a tea garden or festival and many other scenes. The Japanese carve fans en- tirely of ivory. and the Africans make
 them of ostrich feathers in natural colors and which are mounted in bone
 or ivory. Florence Fairbanks
