not have to go to Paris to study sum
mer fashions. New York offers suf.
ficent opportunities in that respect
Along Fifth Avenue. in Central Park,
at the various fashionable restau-
rants and even at gatherings in the
roof gardens smartly dressed WON
/ en- may be seen at close range and
I duly admired On the whole the
| froeks are pretty although there are
exceptions enough The collarless
neck so generally accepted gives a
I festive air to the simplest of mus
Inns worn in he evening and pretty
girls with slender threats have rea-
Z son to call down blessings upon the
| sponsors of this comfortable mode.
But in many cases distressing re-
yealations are made by these Dutch
neck frocks and the really beautiful
I throat seems a rare thing among
women who have passed their teens.
Pink white and black and blues
seem to predominant wherever fash.
ionable toilets congregate. though
there are plenty of other colors to
keep them company. Now, that the
{ hot weather has come at last. a great
deal Of white is worn. but in almost
every case a dash of some vivid
color or of black is added to give re
lief from the monotony.
Pink in all the lovely modish
shades is worn a great deal here as
in Paris and, really. no prettier sum
mer color could be found Partisan
{ correspondents have much to say Of
pink linens, pink cotton voiles, pink
and white striped babtistes, pink
tussors. etc. which have been pre-
pared for the seashore season, and
frocks Of pink combined with other
tones seem also 10 be quite popular
Effective frocks are made Of black
lace over pink chiffon or mousseline
or crepe. and some smart little pink
tHssors are relieved by black The
French make some exceedingly cley-
er use OF striped babtistes. by max
ing the stripe serve as trimming by
using it with stripes running up and
down for the body of the frock and
with a wide skirt band and narrow
trimming bands for the bodice. in
which the stripes run horizontally.
A little note of black is usually intro
duced at the neck. as in so many of
the simple tub frocks. and a buff and
white striped dimity. made much
after the fashion just described. but
with a little velvet cravat and lace
edge frills of white lawn for collar
and cuffs, was conspiciously pretty
at a recent morning gathering CT
fashionable young women.
The striped linens too make at
tractive tub frocks and are usually
made up with the peasant sleeve.
which is the modified kimona sleeve
without large armhole and loose at
the bottom instead Of being drawn
into a cuff. 1t is a comfortable hot
weather sleeve. thought often has an
undersleeve with it 70 detract from
its GOODNESS.
Pretty embroidered flouncing may
be cleverly used by having the yoke
and sleeves and lower part of the
skirt of plain material. A flouncing
with deep scallop is preferable and
this scalloped border is applied to
the plain bodice with the points run
ming upward. while the scanops
point downward on the plain skirt
bottom Often chiffon or mousseline
de sole is used for the plain mate
rails with cotton or lingerie stuffs.
The chic lingerie model this sea
son is made up very largely Of brod-
erie Anglaise, and though Irish. Cluny
Valenciennes and Venetian laces are
all used. the lingerie frock composed
chiefly of lace and worn with a
loose Irish lace coat is unquestiOn-
ably out of fashion. In its place there
is the frock Of broderie Anglase and
lace with yelling coat OF tunic of
chiffon.
The sheer crepons Of silk and cot
ton. the silk CLEANLINESS and cotton ct
amines. and the ilk and cotton voiles
are all extremely popular and make
practical and serviceabie evening
frocks for informal summer wear,
standing seashore moisture and all
sorts of summer vicissitudes admir-
ably
Il is undoubtedly probable that the
scant skirt will hold over into fall.
but not in the exaggerated form Of
the present style. II is to be hoped
that the bride or martingale. as the
bands. etc. combining the skirt bottoms
are called. will soon be abandoned
The mode has been unbecoming TO
thousand women where it was be-
coming to one. has interfered with
the freedom and grace Of movement
and has led to absurd caricsture.
A modification of the once popular
bell skirt, smooth. clinging. but rip
pling into moderate width at the
bottom, has been exploited slightly In
Paris within the last month or so
and may find acceptance in the fall.
With a change in the width Of the
skirt bottom viii. of course, come a
return of the train. which has been
practically an impossobility with the
tied-in skirt
There is every probability that the
shirt coat will remain in vogue IN
to the winter, though It is not so
comfortable OF so appropriate in the
winter costume as IT is in the cos
tune Of the summer. and with longer
and fuller skirts the longer coat will
probably return. For a time. however.
