Fashion Notes.

Soft shades of yellow and yel!owy
browns in satin faced tussore are In
favor. and coarse cotton gowns enabroid-
cred and very simply made are to be worn
in summer. The flounced skirt If II ap-
pears at ALL will be soft and flirnsy.
The short tunic. rather longer on the
one side than on the other. is much in
evidence; likewise the small guimpe.
Light toned grapes, both in SILK ana
cotton, are used for afternoon gowns,
with panels of rich lace as trimming
Ho!bein red, the shade favored by the
Flemish painter, is a spring color. 1t is
soft terra Gotta hue
The latest decoration for the hand
bag is a POW of colGred stones across
the bottom. Although striking and ef-
fectiye. the "jewels' call to mind the
contents of the small boys marble bag.
The best dressed women show de-
cided preference for the gown In which
the waist line is but slightly defined;
An innovation in the decorative line
lions Of black or contrasting tulle in a
robe Of similar. fabric. such as black
with ivory. gray and pink. gold and
black, joined by hand embroideries OF
silk and jewels.
A forerunner of the pannier skirt
which it is predicted will be seen little
later, is skirt IN a curious draped ef-
feet the folds occurring quite low down
at the back and being drawn toward the
front, where they disappear beneath a
panel of rich embroidery or lace. The
result is a tied-in appearance more origi-
nal than pleasing.
An imported novelty is motoring hat
equipped with ''windproof' device
The model Is smart toque of yedda
straw with a curtain of the same straw
lined with rucked silk. The curtain is
made with little cord loops to button on.

Fancy nets. in fish meshes. sprigs. dots
spots. and stripes, are seen everywhere.
One of the new colors is Merisette shade
matching the juice Of bruised wild
cherry.
In childrens socks stripes In contrast
ing colors are more popular than the plain
&c nes.
Never was there such a craze for arti-

wear.
| Illusion pleated into frills will be used
over the shoulders of many of the sum-
mer frockS.
The showing of straw embroideries and
jet band trimmings has never been ex-
ceeded In richness.
Plain. simple effects are coming 10 be
more admired than the gold and glitter
of the hour.
At fashionable luncheons and bridge
parties coats and gowns alike Of black
velvet are often seen.
The delicate faille ribbons are even more
prominent than the soft satins and glace
silk upon hats.
Many of the most effective of the tailor
! mades ordered for a little later in the
season are made of mohair
| Passementerie drop trimmings are offered
| in all the modish colors, we'll as in
jet and metallic effects.
The coarse nets are liked especially we'll
| for gowns which are made over satins
rather than duller silks.
| The icart-wheel rosette is charming: Ii
! is pinned at the throat binding the two
sides of the collar together
/ Some of the new sleeves are trimmed
with hands Of different material: the mode
| Is called bracelet trimming.
Satin coats are to have a big run for
the summer frocks that are unlined or
tina, have bright. thin silk Innings
! Shantung Of a chiffon weight is here for
the summer frOckS. and so are novelty
bengalines in self-colored stripes.
| Cloth of gold rosettes and buckles stad-
ing to almost any color are among the
new things shown for the hat trimmer
| Lacings are to be seen on numbers OF
the new models. They are finished at
the end with silk bows, tasseis or drops
Many children's hats have embroidered
scallop borders of color on white or of
white on color, as the case may be.
| Jet. as the modish touch, threatens to
supersede In every kind of apparel the
CLINT of gold that has had a full years $
! sway.
I Pongee ribbon about six inches wide.
printed in oriental designs and cOlors, is
one Of the useful things brought in for
dressmakerS
! Many of the handsomest gowns are
still high in the waist at the back, though
the front has Gomez down, in some cases

Quite novel and decidedly attractive
idea is to weight the overdress with an
iridescent bugle fringe, which imparts a
