Patriotism
And Clothes
The Red, White and Blue in Evidence
in Many Novel Accessories.
BLUE FoULARD COMBINED WITH
WHITE oRGANDY.

y CW ! Ork, May
The patriotic spirit of tiag-decked
New York begins to make itself felt IN
MANY of the small accessories that make
a woman s costume and often III the
costume itself. With flags to the right
and flags to the left, it is not to be won
dered at that the spirit of the times is
being reflected in our colorS.
The red, white and blue colorS are IN
evidence everywhere. New vests and col
lars of white silk or satin are edged
with narrow red, white and blue ribbon,
or rows of red and blue ribbon are
stitched around the edges of white col
lars. The vests are the very latest adj
dition to coats, and are so popular that
even blouses are being made in vest
effect now.

Hosiery and gloves embroidered with
stars and stripes are amo..g tire latest
novelties seen, sho yng III" ext II: to
which patriotism may be aiken. There
are also small silk handkerchiefs c''ged
with little flags, and parasols edged
with ribbon bearing the stars and
stripes. Even a parasol of red, white
and blue bunting has been devised,
with the colors used alternately in each
section.
Costumes consisting of red or blue
wool jersey MILDLY blouses are worn with
skirts of white wash satin or sports
silk. The blouses are decorated with
embroidered embIems on the sleeves, on
the ends of collars or in front. With
the blue blouses are worn red ties, and
with red blouses. blue ties.
Foulard Combined with organdy or
Georgette.
Every smartly-dressed woman realizes
that if she is to be up to date she must
have a dress of foulard in her wardrobe
this summer. Blue foulard with large
white polka-dots is the kind one sees
most of, but sometimes the order is re
versed and blue dots standing out on q
white background appear. They are
just as smart and even a little newer
than the white dots on the blue.
Foulard is often combined with Geor.
gette or organdy. In the sketch it is
combined with white Georgette which
is used for the soft, gathered vest and
collar, of very modish beloro dress of
navy-blue dotted foulard. The pretty
bolero style has come back to us, and
this is one of the many attractive mod
els in which it is seen. Some of the
new summer suits have short bolero
coats trimmed around the edge with
some form of embroidery or stitching
A very smart model was made of blue
twill and foulard
Capes Make Their Appearance.
Coats with capes, and dresses with
capes, have been making their appear
ance lately. The capes are not the short
variety that were used some seasons
ago. They are very long, as long as the
coat TO which it is attached in most
cases, and many of them are attached
only at the back of coat or dress
While being very smart, these capes
have a practical value in that they give
extra warmth. In very smart dress
which combined dark-blue satin and
serge, a cape of serge was attached at
the shoulders. The lining of apricot
colored silk formed an effective back
ground for the dark dress.

According to a telegram from Ad-

Uniform Rank, Woodmen OF the
World, the grand encampment of the
Woodmen of the World, which was
to have taken place at Mobile July
1880, has been called off. on account
of national conditions. Most of the
Woodmen in the uniform rank are of
military age, and it has been de
cided to call off the forthcoming
gathering until things in the coun-
try become more normal.
Whether or not the postponement
guarantees the epcampment being di-
verified from Mobile or not remains
to be seen. 1t is said, however, that
there will probably be considerable
trouble in having that city lose it,
as the vote went almost unanimous
