A SUMMER WRAP
White and Black Combination for.
Picturesque Cape.
Mandarin Sleeves in Exaggerated
Form Take Away From Grace

The recent race meetings at Long
champs have been specially brilliant,
writes Paris fashion correspondent.
1t has been interesting, and not lit
tie extraordinary, to note the promi-
nence of black and white effects. 1t
is really true that, amongst the best
dressed women, nine in ten wore black,
white or the two mixed.
One picturesque cape especially was
greatly admired. The important point
was the wide scarf collar turned back
with embroidered silk. A splendid ef-
feet was obtained by the most simple
methods and nothing could be more
graceful than the way in which the
scarf collar was thrown over one
shoulder.
1t is the day of picturesque wraps.
These garments are worn on all sorts
of occasions, in the afternoon as well

a, daShing manner at the side. Wide
sashes of moire ribbon tied at the
back in short loops. with long ends
seem destined to finish off many SIM
pie evening frocks for young girls.
The very lavish use of ribbons on
bouquets for brides and bridesmaids
cannot be overlooked in this brief
chapter in the long story of ribbons.
On brides bouquets they have been
wide and splendid and from the bou-
quets of the maids long loops of rib
bon with ends trailing on the floor
have given new importance to rib
bons in the bridal procession.
Narrow groSgrain and picOt edged
ribbons often provide SaShes and cir
dies for ceOrgette blOuSes which they
match in color These girdles are
loosely adjusted and often tied at each
side They give very little definition
of the waist line and are used on
blouSes with peplIms. Sometimes they
fail to extend all around the waist
but are tackled on at each side of the
back and front and tied at the sides.
A pretty arrangement of ribbon for
the evening coiffure is shown in the
picture but as hair ornaments ribbons
appear to have suffered the eclipse
that has Overtaken other hair orna-
nents of an unpretentfous character.

w HEN the talk is of ribbons, it is
w apt to be endless. for there is
no end to the ways in which ribbons
are used in all the belongings of wom-

are not immune; some of them t1aunt

fair.
In Paris we talk a great deal about
"long and full Skirts" but at all the
fashionable race meetings and sum-
mer festivities the. straight outline still
prevails.
l think we shall find that the 1880
outline will be largely exploited on the
stage and at certain evening entertain
ments but that it will not easily re-
place the becoming straight-outline for
street wear. l am encouraged in this
opinion by the determined stand now
being taken by the best Paris tailors.
All the latest models designed in
their studios show straight, moderate
ly short and wide skirts, and these
are very successfully combined with
shaped coats which almost reach the
knees.

Decorations Add Economical and
Dainty Bit of Summary costumery

The woman who is really looking
about for an economical and dainty
Dir of summer custumery can do no
better than to make full use of the
yaistcoats and vests with which the
,hops abound. They re, in the first
place, extremely practicable, for they
can be easily laundered and. there
fore, a frock or suit OF which they are
a part can be kept clean and fresh at
a minimum of laundry work. One can
wear a washable slip bodice under
dark silk frock, and then a vest or
wa,stcoat of easily .laundered fabric,
and so be really fresh in feeling and
dainty in appearance.

SECRECY IN IRISH
MATTERS RAPED
BRITISH HOUSES OF PARLIA
MENT MAY FORCE LLOYD
GEORGE TO PROPOSE TERMS
STRONG OPPOSITION SHOWN
conjectures Are Rife Regarding Ma
ture of Premier's Scheme For
Paclfication OF The Island

Misunderstanding to United
News Staff correspondent, the govern,
ment's set policy in the Irish negotia-
tions is having a boomerang effect.
Serious criticism is developing, es'
pecially through the houses of com
mons and lords, and it is becoming
evident that the premier's hand will
be forced within a short time I'M
less the terms of Lloyd-George's pro-
posals are divulged.
Opposition is particularly apparent
in the house of lords, where Lord
Salisbury announces that he will intro
duce a resolution on August 3 asking
for explanations. At the same time
the insurgents in the lower house are
growing obstreperous.
Conjectures are rife regarding the
nature of the premier's scheme for
qualification of the island, and as to
whether the proposals will be accept
able to parliament, even if Sim Fein
decides to accept them. Also wheth-
er Ulster will disapprove entirely of
the scheme and thus another crisis.
1t is certain that Ulster would re-
ceive hearty support from the British
voters in the event Lloyd-George were
forced to go to the country for decis-
ion, providing an attempt were made
to coerce the northern province. On
the other hand the results of a gen.
eral election called on the Irish ques-
ton as a whole would be problemat'
ical. The coalition would hardly dare
to go to the country with a surrender
platform.
No new developments are reported
from Dublin save that De Valera and
the premier are known to be in con-
slant communication on issues apart
from the main problem.
General SHUTS has cancelled his
passage to South Africa and intends
to sail on August 5.
