FASHION AND FADS
By Maude E. CiIIey.

Suit jackets are all short.
White ratine is being used on silk
suits.
For bridesmaids. lace caps are in
vogue.
Bows are placed at every angle on
summer hats
Both large and small hats are trim
med with lace.
A summer novelty is a canvas coat
embroidered in wool.
The vogue for the separate collar
is still at its height
Green parasols seem to have first
place in fashions favor
Rarely do we see a silk dress en-
tirely OF one kind of material.
Lace bags over colored silk i sings
are carried with evening gowLs.
Forget-me-nots are used to form
complete crowns on lingerie hats.
Sailor collars of satin OF silk are
new veiled with black or white chif-
fon.
Plain ribbons have following, but
figured ones are undoubtedly in the
lead
On separate coats the sailor collar
is very noticeable. 1t must be very
deep
The medium and high waistline viii
unquesitonably be continued oyer The
summer
Much favor is being shown checked
ribbons, and the latest have alternate
checks of satin,
Lingerie frills on the cuffs Of sheer
linen blouses falling over the hands
are worn with street suits.
Delicate combinations Of turquoise
or shell pink with lavender are more
exquisitely blended than ever before.
The controlling feature in waist
fashions is the continued use Of the
matching or so-called Costume"
bodice.
In costumes and separate blouses
the sleeves are almost without ex-
ception short-elbow and three-quar-
ters length.
Black satin wraps are demanding
much attention. For dressy occas-
ions satin has no rival both for suits,
wraps and costumes.
Broad collars are an important fea-
ture in both the tailored suits and
separate wraps of lightweight wor-
steds. silks and linens.
Limerick lace, Carrickmacross
Buchnghamshire and all French and
German explorations are in the ranks
to be used this summer.
The newest skirt may be termed
circular and is slightly fuller. It is,
however, straight and will still give a
woman the narrow long line.
Practically every weave from the
wispiest of chiffons, nets and muslins
to the vOiles, pongee and foulards are
decorated with borders.
When making up cheap satin line
it with very thin fiannellete, as this
gives it a much richer appearance and
prevents II from creasing.
The sleeve cut in two pieces, il
fancy at all, is often brought into q
band, either just below the turn Of
the elbow or at the wrist.
Wolfe, marquisette and eyelet en-
broidery are the materials used in
most lingerie frocks Many new
models show a combination with
black net or tulle.
Tunic lines are included in the
summer models, the tunic adhering tC
the straight edge which has been ir
evidence more or less during the
spring
Pierrot collars or enormous frills
of tulle with hanging ends of ribbor
are used by Parisiennes who do no
accept the collarless condition of the
summer bodices.
Lace revers on the one-sided fash
ions, lace sashes, lace bands on bodice
and skirt and lace jackets are som'
of the forms in which the trimming
appears.
Little coats or jackets of change
able taffetas are worn with voile ol
null lingerie frocks. They show thu
high line and the pleated frill on thl
lower edge.
Some fichus Of fine lace or tulle arr
arranged with very long ends at th'
back that sweep down into a cour
train At the back there can be use'
a buckle Of roses or silk.
So feminine, so dainty and charm
ing is the side frill, that its popu
larity is increasing rather than dimin
ishing Even the blouse buttone'
down the back shows the side adorn
ment
