Braiding remains in favor.
Side jabots still hold their own
Everything favors the vogue of laces.
Tulle twisted in with the hair is most
attractive.
One sees black velvet streamers tied un-
der the chin.
Many of the new frills are made of
colored embroidery.
In millinery. as in dresses, vivid color
ing is the rage.
The usual madras and summer chevfots
are seen in tailored waists
Neck ruching of two contrasting colors
of maline is one of the novelties.
Suede gloves are worn for deep mourn
ing then glace gloves for the lighter.
The handles of the tailored parasols
are unique in effect and very original.
An airy fashion is the use of tulle as
a trimming for hats or in the hair.
Large round or square chantilly wells
will be used with the big hats or toques.
The ribbons having the gold embossed
effects are popular for making opera bags.
Friu collars vary in width from two or
three to four or even five inches in width.
Not for many years has chantilly lace
had such success; it is dyed in every
shade.
Very handsome are the cloth of steel
slippers The ornament is a tiny steel
lace bow.
EVERYTHING points to active demand for
linen and pique collars. both embroid-
cred and plain.
White piuue seems to be the standard
fabric for ba bies coats ranging from
one to three vars.
Plain colored taffeta parasols are fin
ished with wide border of satin or a
tape of the taffeta.
A striking travelling coat seen recently
is of blue sefge, with the collar revers
and pockets of chantecler
Some of the checked habutai silks are
unusually attractive. They are to be had
in a wide range of colors.
Sleeves tucked in groups with landings
showing handwork separating the groups
are seen in some of the new gowns.
The lace dress, whether of chantilly or
other hand-run laces. will undoubtedly be
a feature of the coming season.
AS a. rule afternoon hats are large. with
wide, rolling brims. forming most lovely
background for the face.
The thin muslin collar. appiqued or
inset with lace or embroidered motifs is
tse latest conner in the round styles.
There are big wired bows of chantilly.
like graceful butterflies which are being
shown on many of the new millinery
models.
The first evening toilet worn in
mourning is usually of chiffon over dull
silk. lit up with a touch of jet and hand
embroidery.
The ribbon sachet flowers are used for
all purposes for muff corset or garter
garnitures and for sachet, skirt and
shoulder bows.
Perhaps the most conspicuous feature
in the latest waists is the use of chantilly
lace for the main portion of the body
and sleeves
Among the hand-woven rugs are those
made from strips of table oilcloth. They
are cool for summer and are in favor
for verandas or porches.
Black-bordered handkerchiefS are worn
with crepe or plain black: also onyx jew
elry silk watch guard and white lsse
for neck and sleeves.
Short dressing jackets show ribbons at
the throat back in front in long loops
and ends at the waist line, which is
usually rather short.
The summer hats are unusually at
tractive in themselves. combining the
charm of simplicity and graceful lines
which will be generally becoming.
Metal straws-that is, a straw with a
few threads of gold or silver woven in
it-are another new feature and a most
charming one for evening hats
For general wear fair-sized as well as
extremely small toques will be worn,
some of the newest being of changeable
straw in coarse basket weave.
