Practical hints for the home dress maker are always welcomed and 1t may well be suggested that the question of shrinking can not be too carefully con sidered. In making washable gowns it IS we'll to shrink the thread with wEic1 they are to be sewed as well as the fat re itself. Such shrinking often will prevent unsightly effects after laur deri lg. Simply drop the spool of thread into hot water ard allow 1t to remain long enough to become thoroughly soaked and then dry thor oughly soaked and then dry thoroughly before using.
 A great many novel designs are ap- bearing in summer fabrics, but one of the most unusual is white pique with little punches of red apples arranged here and there and the background dotted with black
 The peplum blouse is taking many forms, but nothing is prettier than the sleeveless tunic in Greek style that is made of colored taffeta or all-over lace and worn in combination with lingerie gown.
 Scalops are being extensively used just now and they always make pretty finish, An extreme novelty that is at tractive at the same time Is found in the gown of linen or pique that IS closed at the left of the front and that shows front and lower edges cut in big scallops. bound with white braid.

NEWEST NECK FINISH.

Summer does not seem to be the sea son which should bring a demand for ''chokers" of any sort, yet the newest neck finish for the street consists oi plaited tulIe attached to a band, with narrower plating above, and the band is sometimes of velvet, sometimes of silk sometimes is plain, sometimes is shirred or made fancy in some such way. Deep closely fitting collars of velvet and oi satin are seen, too with tiny little frills above and square jabots attached to the lower edge of the front; and wherever one turns there seems to be evidence of this neck finish, although, as stated already, 1t seems rather warm for the approaching season. That we have had too many open necks and collarless necks seen upon the street IS true without doubt, and these 'chokers' mark something of revolt; but while they may be worn to some extent during the next few weeks, they can hardly attain any great popularity, for influence will be felt and that high-neck finish of some sort will be generally seen upon the street.

THE NEW BAGS.

Bags seem to become more and more important. This form is one of the very newest and very smartest, and there IS a general tendency toward the use of silk for those carried with the more elaborate and dressy toilettes. Plain silk makes an excellent foundation for embroidery either with beads or with silk thread, but many bags are made of Ottoman, moire and satin striped silks to be exceedingly hand some and effective. The purse form is liked and often IS modified to be made in two sections in place of three, but the old time reticule retains all its popularity and Is very charming in the soft silks with some little embroidery as trimming and finish.

Motoring coats really make a big enough subject to fill an entire letter but there are some new features can be mentioned in a paragraph and that perhaps are worthy of notice A very new and altogether satisfactory coat to be slipped on over a dinner gown is loose and in the seven eighths length that seems to be popular just now and is finished with collar that can be opened somewhat after the Robes pierre style or buttoned up closely. It is shown in a variety of materials but 1t is especially liked in light weight wool ratine in dark blue, lined through with bright colored satin. Cars are so much used these days for short runs to terminate either at a hotel or at dinner at a private house that such wraps are very important. Even moderate speed means Coolness and the cloth is none too heavy for the pur- pose Attractive coats to be worn at almost any hour of the day are made of chaneeable taffeta lined through with light weight wool material preferably white. Pongee is lined with satin and with wool and a great many different materials are utilized. Two important features are found in the loose fit that means the un- rumped gown beneath, and in the ma terial which will not harbor dust. Taffeta, wool lined, IS especially good from the latter point of view. The dark blue agaric is smart bat smoother material IS better from 'h'. practical standpoint

PADS AND FANCIES OF FASHION

forms and seem rather to run to extremes. On the one hand, they are very simple, fashioned of taffeta or charmeuse that consists of one long piece draped and caught together to form sleeves, and on the other hand they are sumptuously ornate, voluminous and often over trimmed. The panier idea, that is in something of a tentative condition so far as our gowns are concerned. has entered the realm of the coat and many of the models designed for the mature contingent are made of brocaded silk with draperies of the panier sort that, are re- markable beyond a doubt but scarcely beautiful. Often the richest, handsomest laces are used in these combinations and the materials unquestionablv are splendid but the draperles are not graceful They tend rather to distort the figure and 1t IS doubtful If they will succeed to any great extent.
 For whatever hour of the day, for what ever occasion the costume is planned, coats make a very important feature These long ones in panier style are some what extreme but there are many beau tiful models that serve the same purpose and that are graceful and charming in the extreme. The short Coatee already men,
 
 tunities for fascinating effects and even coats designed for motoring golf and outing occasions give evidence of the generall trend. Lovers of golf and of tennis seem to find coats essential to the complete costume Very new ones are made very much after the manner of the coat sweater but of open work, loosely woven woOlen material that somewhat re- sembles coarse grenadine. They are finished with big square sailor collars and with patch pockets and the trimming con- sists of wide bands of ladies cloth or of fine flannel in rather bright colors, blue, red and orange being favorites. The coats are double breasted in style held by a very large, handsome button of a simple sort In some way, the links always seem to suggest bright color effects and these coats are unquestionably good for their purpose. They are by no means so warm as the limited sweaters and they promise to share the honors with the blazer and the blazer Norfolk that have very nearly taken the younger world by storm. Some of these blazers are knitted Tn stripes, the plaits and the belts giving the bias effect. Others again are made of the striped fan nel that always belongs to the blazer by natural right. Colors are varied but the College stripes are in great demand Alto gcthcr coats fill rather interesting place in summer fashions this year, from the chiffon ones to those of knitted yarn, and they are designed for every possible oeca- sion ol life,
