New York, June 28.-As the sea
SON advances the fashion settled upor
seems to combine the styles Of al
the ages gone before, although here
and there we may find an individual
touch which would indicate the gown
was made in 1909 rather than in
1900. Paris says that all skirts are
very voIuminous at the bottom, cling.
ing around the hips and finished
with a large bow behind, while in
this country we have already become
familiar with the tight yoke and the
plated apron Of the Gallo period
Paris also says that as we advance
further toward the autumn months
the dresses will be more and more
frankly draped until we have reached
the voluminous style of the Louis.
The most striking characteristic
Of the present style, says an author
ity on fashion, are its points. Last
summer everything in Paris was
square. There were square necks,
square figures. sqaure trimmings, but
now everything is pointed, after the
later style of the Crusades. The lines
Of the present indicate that the point
ed bodice is to be worn, although 1t
may be that the gown will be cut in
one piece and the trimmings be de-
pended upon to give the effect OF the
required point.
Sometimes the point Is so low that
1t extends to the feet, as in the in
stance of one heavily embroidered
gown with an overdress of chiffon
caught on the hips, brought round
and tied together in the middle of
the front. leaving visible merely a
wedgeshaped bit of underdress
Sometimes the point is formed by
the overdress itself, which is cut in a
point In the center or on either side
Particularly is this possible when the
overgown is Of jet, for 1t is a material
heavy enough to hang closely to the
figure.
There Is no lack of attractive and
inexpensive materials for the home
seamstress and she should have nc
trouble In finding suggestions for the
making of frocks. good looking yet
inexpensive. A tour through the
shops or a glance through any of the
weiiinformed fashion journals should
give her all the inspiration she needs
and if she has good taste she should
be able to plan a summer wardrobe
for a very modest sum.
For her tailored frock, unless she
can 60 to first class tailor, she had
better resort to the ready made suits,
which may be purchased at a modest
cost and invariably look more stylish
than the home made suits. Simple
morning frocks. however, nearlp any
fair seamstress may make without
much trouble. For these the shops
offer a large variety Of pretty and
attractive materials. Bingham is
probably the most practical on the
list for that purpose, but it is not
quite SO smart as one tone linen.
Plain chambrays come in delight
full shades. wear well and are so
cool and fine of texture that one
wonders they do not appear more
frequently in the ready made models.
Particularly lovely tones of yellow
In the soft buff and brownish tones
are found in this material as in the
linens. and there are some excellent
striped effects In the cool buff and
white.
For the girl to whom they are be-
coming these yellow shades are most
desirable this season. for they are
beautiful In themselves, modish. cool
looking and stand laundering we'll
Relieved by white, the linens or the
buff corn and yellowish biscuit color
ings are charming and a touch OF
black sets off this color scheme ad-
mirably.
Pink is always a popular summer
color, and this year 1t branches out
into a long line of rose and berry
tints which are fashionable if not sc
pretty as the old fashioned pinks
Some of the pink chambrays ana
ginghams are especially lovely and
giriish. but in linens the choice runs
more to the orse shades.
Yellow in linen offers a new note
of color among the tub materials fol
the summer months this year, an(
