Paris Say of Interest to Femininitys I
New York, June 12.-Experts who
have just returned from Paris say that
dl aped sn~Es are very much in f::ai.-
ion there and tn; old snrpliceN hcGt
has returned in full force to b. ~.
up in summer ns erials; for, %-.ei
one attempts to design gowns OF
softest chiffon or mousseline, drap-
cry is the natural result. Stiff or
heavy materials adapt themselves to
the severe lines of the princess; sheer,
supple materials, however, need full
ness to give the full benefit of their |
beauty. OF course, on many gowns
where the drapery for the bodice is
| used there appears also the embro1d-
| cred tablier or panel down front and
| back, which makes a straight line
while yet allowing a curve at each
| side. of the figure.
| Co1ors are charmingly combined in
| the present styles of costumes and
one of the latest ideas of the season
is to make up shot silks with a cover
ing of light chiffon. This is novel
/ idea, but very pretty, indeed. For the
/ shot silk, which is severe, is much
softened by the yelling process.
Embroideries are extensively used,
done both in heavy floss and soutache,
although on the more elegant gowns
ilet net is no longer used. This is
, perfectly natural, for it was altogeth-
E er too common a year ago.
Il sFoulard is the most popular sum-
!, mer material in Paris and it has risen
p to this favor entirely by it's own mer-
, it. 1t is light and cool; it may be
procured in many varied textures, and
o it wears remarkably we'll. 1t is used
G for all kinds of costumes, from the
j, plainest frocks to the most elaborate
" gowns for formal functions.
, Latest advices from Paris, which
are confirmed by the leading design
, ers of styles in New York are to the
. effect that the vogue of the Dutch col
g lar is destined to be short-lived. The
n reason for this is that this collar car
be worn by relatively few women, as
in most cases it dertacts from the
q comeliness of the wearer. The only
; argument adduced in support of thu
y | Dutch collar is that it furnishes {
= maximum amount of comfort. This
"A At best, is but negative virtue, since
the same thing may be said of the nev
,+ high collars of light material.
tv Another factor that makes the quicl
20 passing out of the Dutch collar Ger
tain is that there are very few cos
~ tunes with which it can be effectivel
10 worn; and this will greatly operat
=, against it's popularity, save, possibly
80 among those who think that anythin
NJ new or revived, no matter how bi
n, zarre or ultra, should be worn. Won
h. en- of good taste have not worn tn
,v Dutch collar, nor wi llthey wear i
od unless they felt sure that it is becom
i'll ing to them.
+oI The sheer coats and mantles of chi1
7 fon, marquisette and net, unlinet
Id weighted down by embroideries an
ot showing the color and outline OF tn
frock worn beneath are one of tn
seasons distinctive features and hav
much to recommend them, for the
lend an outdoor appropriateness to
toilette without adding sensibly to tn
" warth of it, and also they are gracefl
and becoming. Lovely color effect
a. are obtained by this soft yelling wheI
the coat contrasts with the gown.
Many of the sheer coats are mad
en- suite with costume and echoin
the color scheme of the frock, but fC
are chiefly in black, trimmed with 1e
ne soutache or silk embroideries, or PEI
haps with a touch of gold among tt
~ black embroidery, Under the film
black gown In color defining til
lines of a slender silhouette, is ofte
charming.
Some of the sheer cloaks or Goa
are sleeveless, as are many of the Sc;
sons smart coats in heavier material
but the sleeveless coat is not invari;
bly, successful, and is at it's best Whe
the sleeves of the frock are in tt
same color as the coat. The sleev
ets less coat in silk, satin, ETC., for We;
he over princesse frock of material
me the same color but of different textu
las is concession to the prevailing 1oI
lth frock sleeve which is too warm f,
oth reinforcement by a warm coat sleev
an. This difficulty is surmounted by gf
rec ing the frock sheer long sleeve
fse net or other cool material, with only
ay- short oversleeve or variation upon tt
as. sleeve cap in the bodice material, al
lty' then using a coat with sleeves.
III Crepe, soft satin, aeolienne, a fiji

To- de sole are the si1ken stuffs most
su- use for the dressy separate coats
the heavier weight, and these coat mode
aus range from simple clinging severi

Net. Tailored coats of black liberty, be
