NEW YORK FASHION NOTES
nv Maude Hall

! BY Maude Hall
| New York, June 17-Colors in all
their beauty prevail this season, and
costumes in a variety of model, ap-
pear; from the Grecian to the Egyp-
tian. The girl of today selects no
less than a Cleopatra for model,
and we must not forget the short full
dress of the Victorian period. But
still there are those of US who cling
ito simpler styles and the shirt waist
and tailored costume hold their own.
Theshirt waist is one of the most
useful garments in the wardrobe OF
every spick and span woman. IL
practically answers all occasions, ex-
cept those strictly formal. For this
latter a blouse of white filet net over
chiffon is most appropriate. Upon
the chiffon foundation can be stitch
ed bands of ribbon. An Alice blue
girdle will add the note of color.
Crepe Decline is the most approp-
rate of materials being neither too
tailored for afternoon wear nor too
dressy for morning Strictly tall
ored and excellent for the sports
women is theblouse of gray lawn
trimmed with white pique. 1t could
be made of hieh stock which if nee
essary can be opened to admit even
more air. White pearl buttons, eye
letted, makes excellent ornamental
tions for both tailord trimming and
the front fastenening.
The new neckwear is usually at
tractive. The large Puritan or
Quaker collars represent the new
est fad. These collars are plain and
tailored in effect with picot or hem
stitched edges, and are made of lin
en- or sheer material.
Combination fichu and collar ar
rangements, covering almost the en-
tire bodice, are made up in fine sheer
lace, ETC., and some of the models
ar exceedingly quaint and attractive.
The plated frill is much in evidence
too There are frills of lace, frills
of linen, lace trimmed; frills of
white with narrow borders or color;
frills of color, bordered with white;
frills of black tulle, in fact frills of
every kind and description. There
is a new tendency to introduce a
color note in the neckwear this
season. 1t is introduced in inset
bands of pink, blue oe orchid.
Shoes of fancy style plays an
important part in dress accessories.
Shiny leather in patent and kid are
in demand The short toneue col
onial shoe is being very much worn
For evening plain pump called the
opera pump is in favor. In the
south and west there is tendeniy
to wear the French toe which is
broad and has a short vamp.
Although this is the season for
straw hats there is great tendency
for popularizing the fabric hats.
White ratine looks well in a sailor
shape model. Its broad brim is
bound with pink taffeta and on two
sides it is embroidered with pink
wool. A band of pink taffeta passes
around the crown and ties itself into
"a fiat tailored bow. The use of rat
inc in military is very popular be-
cause it is possible for the home mil
liner to copy the various shapes dis
played and thus have hats to match
her gowns. Stitched taffeta is also
favored for nobby little hats that are
intended more for sports wear than
anything else. In some instances
folds of taffeta 60 to make hat and
each fold is connected with the
other by means of French knots, the
knots being of contrasting color.
