NEW YORK FASHION NOTES

New York, May 2O-The reason
is not far to seek for the popularity
of this seasons modes, for they
show greater diversity than ever.
The girl who lives out of doors
comes in for special attention just
now, many delightful blouses, coats,
separate skirts and sweaters being
designed especially for her use.
Sport coats are things of beauty
this spring. Not much use for sport
itself, unless one classes flirtations
at the head of all sports. The SILK
sweater is the thing. A knitter ilk
sweater is the thing. A knitted SILK
are always modish and popular. II
expensive. The sports coat glove
silk, of brush silk and of soft satin
are not so much beyond the average
woman's purse. At least not OF
those women who care for sport, and
lpursue it vigorously.
The finest of linen lawn in deli
lcate colors is the material chosen
for some of the most charming tub
frocks for the simple type. Fine
stripes of white and color are avail
able in the same fine linen lawn as
we'll as in the heavier grades OF
handkerchief linen; and these make
up very smartly; but the models in

perhaps a trifle more bewitchins
than the striped ones.
In selecting tub frock one mus
be careful. For the color migh'

done by careful seamstress, and Il
consequence the garment may no

frocks, if the latter are we'll made
but on the other hand the HON
= seamstress of today isn't at all sur
to finish things carefully, and almos
any tub frock will outlive season

istics? They are DESIGNED by higl
priced designers, even though th'

Little cotton danglers border ma
lrow frills of the under petticoa
and one sees them used not only
lingerie frocks but upon linger
W parasols. One pretty parasol was n
ne only bordered by those little bal
but was dotted all over with the

Irish crochet drops and butte
