NEW YORK, July 1.-The styles
brought out from the Grand PIX,
which is now run IN France the last
Saturday in June. until the end of the
season in August. have everything to
do with what the multitude here and
in Europe will wear next fall and VIII
ter. The newest gowns brought out by
The leading dressmakers have been elab-
orate beyond their usual character.
Skirts are trmmed-few are PLAIN
coats are incrusted with trimmings and
hats are loaded with flowers and feath-
ers Extravaganza not only in price but
in the lavish use Of materials and gar
niturcs, is a marked feature of this
summer Many of the new gowns and
coats are so covered with ornaments
that they look heavy, but quite the
reverse is sure to be true, Everything
is made as light us possible, even to the
Jet which of old used to add SO much
weight to dress or coat.
\ good many novelties are cropping
out. One Of them is the stole used
with wool or linen gowns which goes
around the skirt and not only falls at
the front in its usual fashion but goes
all around the skirt like a band, the
skirt invariably falling in plaits below
il. These stoles are covered with
braid or embroidery, and may be of the
tone OF the gown or IN contrasting
tone. Another innovation is the half
length redingote of tucked mouSsehne

over black and white checked gown.
The coat fastened at the side with a
row of mother-of- pearl buttons running
from the neck to the hem. At the
waist il was held in by black silk
sash tied on the left side. The prin-
cess tunc or cuirass has develoned into
many far-fetched phases since it first
took the fashion world by storm last
spring. One of its possibilities is IL
lustrated in a gown noticed this week,
made of very thin, soft gray satin.
The tunic is of net IN the same shade
claboratcly embroidered with silver.
The yoke and sleeves are white, traced
delicately with silver. The skirt has
band of gray silk and silver embroid'

of the tunic is silver.

long tunic of almond green cloth
braided at the edges IN an original
pattern. The tunic was open at the
under the arms and below the hips,
and was low.necked and short slceved,
The waist worn with it had high
stock of white lace with wide double
frill filling the open neck.
The skirt plated from knees down
is more and more seen. On the other
side. persons writing from the Paris
races say, it's the most used walking
skirt at this moment. This skirt came
in with the Middle Age styles and
the tight fitted tunic effect which re-
minds one of a coat of mail, Many
of these cuirass or tunic effects are
cut straight around. but with the ad-
vance of the Stvle more Of them are
being shaped al the top of the paits.
Many of the funics are shorter at the
back than the sides and front. Others

was all left on the under side with It's
necessary bulkiness. For the girls, the
curass frocks are generally becoming,
especially if the cuirass is shaped jul
aiciously.
Two simple and effective seashorc
dresses on view recently were made
without Innings, one in vicuX rose linen,
and the other in white. In the first
there WAS a front and back panel cut,
