Callot's coat suit OF ross- colored pom
gee, worn by FrenchwomeT has
brought about a fashion for the same
kind Of thing over here.

NEW YORK, July 26.-1he buycrs
who have returned from Paris with
wholesale asSortments Of carly autumn
models, say that the house OF Cabot IS
clinglng TO the color known as ilamant
and the fabric known as pOngcc.
We have not had as much of this
flamingo red, which is the English for
flamant. as one would expect. consid-
cring that its sponsors were the three
Cabot sisters. Possibly the autumn
will bring IL out in q definite way.
A Touch Of Chinese.
The fac. that the new house Of Cal
lot includes a most remarkable Chi
ncsc room, a salon which really should
be in a museum, is a strong indication
Of the feeling Tor the oriental that ex
ists among the chief designers OF that
establishment. With an admirable set
ting given by rare porcclains, carved
walls and rugs from China, II IS only
natural that tho manncQulnS should
parade IN gowns that touch the Chi
ncSc. it they do not cmbody all the
main features OF celestial costumery,
No one who has much to do with
Chinese costumery and objects OF
art can 20 away from them with
out feeling that no other oolors
| and designs should be worn. Those in
America who had the happy chance OF
| seeing the Yellow Jacket and the Wal
low Tree last winter, were not able 10
tear themselves away from the impress
sion given by these plays that such
costumcry should be copied to the best
Of ones ability.
Any memory that rises in the mind
Of the Daiiodll IN his swinging robes
| of beautiful colors and cloud like fab
RIGS, brings a kind OF passionate ycarn-
my to be able to evolve such costumes
and 60 abroad m them. Cabot, there
lore, with her Chinese salon and her
extraordinary collection OF Chinese
fabrics and prints, must feel TINS
strong urge toward Incorporating the
lines and colorS in each costume that
! leaves that famous house.
The Chinese silks, particularly that
weave OF pongcc which is not worn by
the coolies, but by the people OF caste
in China, has been thrown into the
French market as one OF its dominant
fabrics. Suits Of it in ilamingo red are
worn in the afternoon with white chit
fon blouses and great black or white
satin hats, The addition OF the black
hat tones down the rose color to !
beautiful thing.
A New Kind of Coat.
In .ihis country We wear natura
