The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1910-05-17

houette, with no flare at the feet, is
the one stIiven for by Paris designers,
with, undoubtedly, more attractive re-
suits than we usually associate with
the convenient slip-oyer article. The
range of materials is wide, includ-
ing heavy tussor, coarse cheyiots and
cloths that are of basket weave, while
charmeuse, satin and changeable
silks under voile are delightfully."- fash
ioned into afternoon wraps, with
which the Parisienne always covers
her afternoon gowns.
One of the striking features of the
summer coat is its lining. OF soft fou-
lard in some of the most attractive
designs, it generally contributes to
striking whole. White serge Is still
in high favor; oyster gray and tan lin
en- are delightfully."- heavy in the new
basket weaves, while woolen mater
ials are loose enough to afford com
fort without an overburdening
warmth. The summer coat Is usually
ornamented with a marine collar or
with long revers that cross Nand but
ton quite far down. Metal and tortoise
shell buttons are used on the summer
coat and huge pockets are not lack
ing. Keep in mind these points when
planning this very necessary article
in your summer outfit.
An important dress detail that is
recurring with persistency is the in
PRODUCTION of black pipings. They are
used to emphasize the important lines
of costume. The bolero line that is
certainly creeping into the newest
models of the season is successfully
suggested by pipings. The extended
yoke frequently can be emphasized
by narrow pipings that cross the bo-
dice or the sleeves. The value of a
touch of black can never be overesti-
mated. Pipings afford excellent op-
portu1ity for this touch that frequent
ly holds the different tones of color
scheme together in one effective
whole.
Turbans closely initiating Oriental
styles, are much worn in Paris and
are rapidly becoming popular here.
They come as a relief from the ex-
tremely large hats and the small,
closely fitting toque occupies place
which cannot be filed by any ether
shape. OF supple straw, SO soft that

the brim,, the turban, swathed with
Persian silks, speaks for itself Of the
possibilities of color and form. Blue

Chantilly lace ellects are particu

very little cost. Tiny rosebuds ant
forget.me.not patterns are the dainti
est, and there are leaf spray and bow
knot effects that look well in self
color embroidery. Black lace butter
flies and other motifs may also b,
used with good effect, great care mus
be taken, however, that the edges ar,
firmly secured with buttonhole stitch
es, SO that the silk stocking may no
ravel away from the lace medallion.
With a pink frock and pink slip
pers pink silk hose embroidered Will
rosebuds are worn; with pale blu,
frock, blue slippers and forget-me.no
embroidered hose. The yellow dress
has stockings embroidered with but
tercups, and the lavender dress, o
course, is accompanied by violets EN-
broidered on lavender ground. Beau
tlful bridal silk stockings are embroid
cred with lily of the valley sprays
among which are set motifs of rea
lace.
For dress occasions more velve
than gold slippers are worn. III,

evening frocks.
