PADS AND FASHIONS

@AD0 ~A4NO y Gx40114ONo The vogue for the separate collar is still at it's height. Green parasols seem to have first | place in fashions favor.
 Rarely do we see silk dress en- tirely of one kind of material. Lace bags over colored silk Things are carried with evening gowns. F'orget-me-nots are used to form complete crowns on lingerie hats Sailor collars of satin or silk are now yelled with black or white chiffon
 Plain ribbons have following, but figured ones are undoubtedly in the lead.
 Much favor is being shown checked ribbons, and the latest have alternate checks of satin.
 Delicate combinations or turquoise or shell pink with lavender are more exquisitely blended than ever before.
 The contending feature in waist fashions is the continued use of the matching or so-called costume bod ice. F4
 Black satin wraps are demanding much attention. For dressy occasions satin has no rival both for suits, wraps and costumes.
 Broad collars are an important fea- ture in both the tailored suits and
 
 steds, silks and linens.
 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,
 Limerick lace, Carrickmacross, Buckinghamshire and all French and German explorations are in the ranks to be used this summer.
 The sleeve cut in two pieces, if fancy at all, is often brought into a band, either just below the turn of the elbow Or at the wrist.
 Voile, marquisette and eyelet em. broidery are the materials used in els show combina tion with black net or tulle.
 Tunic lines are included in the sum- mer models, the tunic adherfng to the straight edge which has been in evil dence more or less during the spring.
 Pierrot collars or enormous frills of tulle with hanging ends of ribbon are used by Parisiennes who do not ac- cept the collarless condition of the summer bodices.
 Lace revers on the one-sided fash- ions, lace sashes. lace bands on bo- dice and skirt and lace jackets are some of the forms in which the trim ming appears.
 Little cpats or jackets of change able taffetas are worn with voile or null lingerie frocks. They show the high line and the pleated frill on the lower edge.
 S Some f1chus of fine lace or tulle are arranged with very long ends at the back that sweep down into court train. At the back there can be used a buckle of roses or silk.
 So feminine. so dainty and charm ing is the side frill, that it's popular ity. is increasing rather than dimin- ishing. Even the blouse buttoned down the back shows the side adorn- ment.
 The new jabots are lace trimmed and are worn with the linen suits or separate blouses. The one-sided ef- feet is evident, wide frill being att tached to a central strip of lace.
 Preceded ribbons are wonderfully lace hats. Very. tempting are the shadow woven patterns and ribbons through which metallic threads glist- en.
 The waist line is outlined by flow CTS on many lingerie dresses for young girls. These are either made of bias bands or silk, or bought in punches, separated and attached to the band.
 On blouses the sailor collar and cuffs are of contrasting material and color. There Is the ever-popular foulard, dot ted, striped and plain, that is combin- ed with linen,' batiste, chalis and silk.
 Even the tailored suit has reverted to the Empire form and practically all the skirts completing tailored suits are hung from the high side belts ranging from one and one-half ito three inches deep.
 The new circular skirt is not the circular of some seasons ago but it is moulded to the figure at the top, from the waistline to the knee, when flutes and circular gores are arranged above the hem.
 Something new that has appeared in blouses in Paris is the Abasqued bo- dice which is often in harmony as to color. but a different material, and is also seen contrasting both in ma terial and in color.
 Artificial flowers are being worn in bouquet form on tailor-made suits or afternoon dresses. The small flowers being used, the lily of the valley sweet pea, heather and forget-me-nots are claiming great favor.
 Many of the lingerie dresses are distinguished by the new collar. This latest evolution of the collar is deep, square or rounded lace cape collar reaching the belt in the back, and sometimes hanging just little below it.
 Interesting features of evening gowns lie in the trains and the decoletage. L. One gorgeous crepe meteor gown noted was gracefully draped with the left end allowed to drag to point on one side.
 While scores of patterns are worn, there is distinct leaning toward the stripe novelties in black and white and this fashionable com pima tion is relieved with brilliant color as CO., ral, Kings blue, emerald green, saf- iron, yellow, violet and old rose.
 The favorite fchu can be fastened in many ways. It can be short and crossed at the front under the girdle or fastened. by a pin in the centra of the girdle. Then the longer shape can be tied around the waist and fin- ished in short butterfly bow made of the ends.
 A beautiful piece of jade is apple green, opaque and crystalline, almost as handsome as an emerald and of- ten ranges from white to dark green, and it combines beautifully with dia- monds. Just now the light shades are stylishly select, never cheap and bring good luck to the wearer.
 A feature that is common to all makers is the use of the turned ki- mono cuff-band or finish for the peas ant sleeve. Otherwise sleeves are va ried to a considerable degree, as all the important makers are using both the peasant or one-piece cut and the regulation two-piece fitting sleeve set into the armhole.
 As change from the tailor jacket there are delicious little coats of SUD- pie taffetas with gathered basdues hardly reaching to the hipS piped
