Fashion in the Moki7&
Modes Are Launched During the Big Racing
Week. and the Result Is Gamble.

7 idea has been successful and generally
popular that the dressmakers are trying
! to hold on TO il for another season To-
i day the band is never tight enough. TO inn
| pede walking, and 1t is beginning TO be
curved or arranged in points and, in some
c1 ses slightly f1ounced. It is possible that
we shall see II replaced in the autumn by
/ a shaped flounce. but for the summer, at
least the ornamental skirt band cut on a
| straight thread will be in good style. It
/ is reported that skirts are to be excessively
! large in the autumn. Such would be a
most astonishing development of the pres
! ent modes, and one hardly TO be expected.
1t is true, however, that with the thin
materials of the summer we shall un-
doubtedly see fuller hens. The tdea al
ready is to put a great deal Of trimming
on the bottom of skirts. but at the same
time to allow them to hang IN straight
Incs.
! summer model from a Rue de la PaiN
shop is made up of Valenciennes lace
trimmed with founces of English ernbroid-
cry There are three of these on the skirt,
put on with a heading Of Val. entre-deux
and separated from each other by several
inches. From the round neck to the top
rufHe on the skirt is a double row of en-
I
are Joined by a belt of English embroidery.
So far this is one of the few all white
gowns that the model makers have shown.
| Most of the white batiste or embroidered
| frocks have an undertook of color or are
| trimmed with a f1owered silk or plain satin
| or velvet Rather a pretty idea shows 4
! frock of thin muslin over white silk foun-
cation on which there is q trimming OF
colored ribbons.
/ But although there are few all white
gowns, English embroidery has never played
! a more important part In the fashions.
| Certainly it has never before appeared so
| effective, because il has never before been
made I'D with such a variety OF stuffs. The
whiteness of q beautiful design shows u
! best when arranged over or with bright
silk brocades. One often sees a fowered
silk in fairly deep tones Of blue, violet or
the fashionable petunia covered with thin
net tunic inset with figures of English EN-
/ broidery-
The following model is a good example Of
its use: The undergovn Is OF pale green
moire silk covered with net in the same
shade At the knees the overdress Is gath
cred into a band of white batiste. ernbrofd-
| cred in big daisies. The telt of green satin
has large motif of white embroidery front
are made up of pattern in much smaller
daisies combined with Vafenciennes. This
! gown is most simple In its form, but the
| undergoun of watered silk marks II as a
rev model. 1t has also the fashionable
! touch of black in the way Of velvet bre-
/ telles over the shoulders, finished by motifs
| of white embroidery. The hat to b worn
with this gown is a wicc brimmed affair
of white straw trimmed with black al
grettes.
For some reason changes In millinery
seem to come more quickly than changes IN
dresses There is q decided change In hats
| in the direction Of wide. picturesque br1fns
setting low on the head and with shorter
crowns than have been worn. Some OF the
summer straws are almost fiat. with fop-
ping brims and draped trimming. Then
| there is cunning little draped toque among
| the new designs which sets over an under
cap OF white lace embroidery. and In fact
the lace under bonnet is also a feature "
! the new big hats e. d.
