WOMEN ORIGINATE
SOME NEW STYLES

city streets is a point of Importance.
The combination of a sand skirt with
dark green velveteen jacket trim
med with silver buttons, is a phan-
tasy that was brought out by some
| smart woman IN this country.
The fashion of wearing broad
brimmed, straw sailor hats In black
or tan, with changing scarfs wrapped
about the crown, was started at fash
ionable country clubs and has won
out.
The use of a white linen coat cut
after the manner of riding habit
and worn over, a short, plain, black
velveteen skirt, was thee idea of a
young matron who usually has her
own way in clothes and who conse-
quently attracts attention to herself
and has many followers.
The introduction of the jerkin of
Robin Hoods day, made in -colored
leather, belted with the material, and
fastened with a great silver medieval
buckle, was advanced on the golf
fields of this country and has become
a far more fashionable garment than
the sweater.
Another experiment of the Ameri-
can women, which could not have Its
source in Paris, is the universal use
Of immense garden hats trimmed with
brilliantly cOlOred flowers, as a part
of city apparel. The American world
is quite used to the great hat Of straw
in country gardens, on beaches and on
the benches of athletic fields, but this
is the first summer that women in
great centers> of activity have worn the
so-called country hats on the street, to
the restaurants, and for all manner of
social life.
New Kinds Of Waistcoats.
Another individuality which has been
brought out, is the waistcoat of check
ed silk or cotton with round, yoke
collar of itself, also a cravat flashed
in sailors loop with two ends.

America. has depended on its shops

the way with French models. There
is vast gulf of difference between
the two procedures.
Women and Experiments.
There is no doubt of the fact that
women who are experts in the art of
dressing and choosing clothes have
done some excellent work this sum-

New YOrk.-Life and war and
clothes and psychology make curious
mixture this midsummer. To analyze,
TO philosopher, to play with grouped
masses of people, TO watch the sun
light and shadow of social existence
as 1T goes ON In America today, are
great temptations. To stick to the
straight and narrow path of clothes,
and clothes only, is difficult.
There is no lack of q certain kind
of frivolity this summer. We shall
all go ON path Of moderate amuse-
ment until the war becomes too stu
pendous and Is too full of terror for
that that will never happen!
. America Is a bit too stupendous q
segment of the earth's surface to feel
a foreign war acutely. She may
pour out her men, her sympathy. her
money, and cooperate in every way
that her Ingenuity and resources al
low In the struggle toward peace,
but, without an invading army, with
her colossal industries undisturbed,
with her wealth and climate, and
with the great mass of unrelated peo-
pie of all nationalities. 1t is not pos
sible for her to take the war as
France takes 1t.
AS long as there is money, chance
to wear good clothes, and no reasons
against doing 1t, there will be fash
ions in plenty.
individuality Is Shown.
Individualism has suddenly raised
its head above uniformity. The rea-
son is simple. The early French
models which dominated fashions,
were sold out in a hysterical wave
of bargains early in the spring.
Nothing has taken their place. Our
designers have not risen to the oc-
casion In a mass, as many of the
clothes critics in America thought they
would, If given chance.
You know, there has been a strong
propaganda for half dozen years
in regard to the wholesale use of our
