FASHION NOTES.

Hosiery novelties include stockings
| of shaded silk.
Tunic effects seem to have come tc
abide for a while.
Hats are immense and always there
is a roll at the side
Short sleeves are said to be coming
in again over in Paris.
Silk bathing suits are in startling
colors and combinations.
Black crinoline hats serve for some
Of the smart tailored models, trimmed
with white rajah or crepe de chine.
Wells are left floating instead OF
being tied under the chin and around
the neck.
All white seems as yet to be in
the background. Even the lingerie
gown, made of thin cotton or linen,
is at it's best this season over the
color.
Slippers and boots are being made
of bengaline to match gowns, and
also of cravenette. Cravenette boots
have often bengaline tops Of the same
color.
In only a few of the linen, pongee
or bingham dresses is there any yoke
at the back this season, the material
itself coming to the edge of the col
lar and being finished with narrow
reverse effect IN silk or embroidery.
Linen gowns are almost universally
made with princess panels, held in
place by large covered buttons. The
collars of these gowns are either OF
lace, very high and without a ruche
at the top, or else the neck is cut in
the Dutch manner.

COIIARLEss NECKS.

The collarless necks, which sc
many very modish dressmakers are
inducing their clients to adopt, is a
fashion very pretty and charming fol-
young girl, or for woman OF ma
turer years when blessed with a
plump white neck, but one which the
average woman should adopt with
caution.
The little collarless necks, with
their pretty Claudine frills, are very
attractive in the showroom and the
shop window, but it is no use blink
ing the fact that the majority Of
women look smarter and better turn
ed out when they are wearing high
collar, which, by the way, may be of
the most delicate lace or net. It gives
a smart finish to smart toilette, and
makes the low collarless neck look
untidy by contrast. AS rule women
have rarely looked so absolutely chic
as during the recent vogue OF the
high collar, surmounted by plated
frill of dainty net CT chiffon. The
latter made a most becoming setting
to the face, and though the fashion
in the end became ubiquitous its fol
lowers never lost their air of smart.

many people who could not stand it

instance, if a women has small shout
ders, her sleeve may be slightly
puffed into the armhole

an oversleeve and an undersleeye;
sometimes when there is a chiffon
covering there are three actual
sleeves, each passing a little the 9TH

DAINTY CLOTH AMONG SPOILS OF
VISIT.

One ardent wish of Mrs. Roosevelt
will be gratifled when she sets foot
on Porto Rican soil. In the early
days of the Roosevelt regime she re-
ceived a gift of exquisite table linen,
the handiwork of San Juan girls. The
gift was appreciated deeply and Mrs
Roosevelt decided to visit the island,
inspect the work personally and select
her own patterns. Net only table
linen, but filmy cloth for evening
wear will form one of the spells of
her visit. She wore at many after
noon musicales and teas a pale vel
low cloth, on which was embroidered
a slender vine of clematis. The gown
was built on yellow MORE and had
trimming of yellow lace. Mrs. Roose-
Welt doubtless will find many patterns
equally dainty for service next sea
