have returned with the mitten
sleeve. These long shoulders are
very long indeed, ending well down
on the upper arm. Beginning at
this point the sleeve extends in
slim snug tube as far as the
knuckIes. Sometimes the sleeve
does not begin where the shoulder
ends, but leaves the upper arm
bare and makes up for this deficit
by the extra fold of silk at the
knuckle joints.
New York, n. Y, May 10-Putting
on your best bib and tucker is no
longer a mere figure OF speech. The
outline of the bib is followed by
the new oval neckline, and to fill
in this opening dainty little white
tucker IL used. A touch OF white
at the neck and wrists is an idea
rapidly returning Certainly moth
ing looks more trim with summer
gown.
Hot Springs, w Va. May 1o.-A
hat Of the new lacquered satin
which is creating such furore
abroad was seen here. 1t was a
large picture affair of deep red
Lacquered satin is the shiniest ma
terial lima ginable but nothing can
be too cleaning in this season OF
gloss and CLINT and glitter. This
red hat was topped by an extra
ordinary large skyscraper bow of
lacquered satin in dark blue. One
nice thing about lacquered hats is
that their cleaning surface is be-
coming to many women who look
dull in duller surfaces.
New York, n. Y, May 10.-The
newest corset, launched first in
Paris, is a wide belt Of brocaded
satin and elastic of the slip-on or
step-in construction. There is no
opening at all. You pull it on over
the head or up over the hips and It
is tight enough so that it probably
takes two of you to pull But the
effect is most attractive, for there
is no break in the lines such as
lacings and snaps sometimes cause.
Paris, France, May 10.-A band of
silver trellis work on girdles; a
combination of tulle and taffeta in
contrasting shades, the bodice of
one and the skirt OF the other; and
a neck low in front but high in back
or vice-versa-these are features of
the newest sumner gowns. A
dancing frock made of white velvet
sprinkled with mother-of- pearl
beads has a very low decolletage,
but high neck in back. In spite of
a long, narrow train, the gown
was caught in front to show the
ankles.
London, England, May 10-Some-
times knot of ostrich feathers is
the only bit on the formal gown of
white. One such dress had a cluster
Of puce feathers tipped with silver
fastened low on the left hip, and
falling to the knee. Another white
dress had a girdle of small, up
standing ostrich tips in purple and
blpe.
Paris, France, May 10.-Purple
and blue is the latest combination
of colors to defy the old fashioned
dictators of harmony in shades
Blue of a peculiarly deep, bright
shade is combined with a rich, dark
purple. Sometimes the purple APP
pears as edging for scallops or neck
lines Sometimes II appears as a
girdle Of satin intertwined with the
blue or else the purple creeps out
in the guiSe of large beads on a
blue background.
London, May 10.-The head
dress of flowers delicately fash
Toned from tissue shot with gold
or silver is high in popularity
Such an ornament goes well with
the ubiquitous metallic frock. A
gown is not a gown nowadays if
it lacks a foundation of gold or
silver cloth or heavy drapings of
metallic lace.
London. May 10.-Bulrush brown
is a new shade of peculiar depth
and richness. 1t is beautiful
background for tan and deep
cream. Other colors beginning to
create a place for themselves are
a soft, rosy brick, a gay forester
green and a siIvery mist gray.
Navy blue and canary are wildly
combined in some of the tailored
suits.
Paris, May 10.-Now and then
when the parrot as a bit of trim
ming has begun to be little passe
somebody invents such an ingenious
parrot motif that this gay bird re-
gains his popularity At present
the parrot with wings spread is
flying across half of the parasols in
the Bots. A brilliant bird he is,
painted, embroidered, or printed
in scarlet, purple and gold. His
object in flying across the parasoI
is to reach another parrot enamel
ed in the same hues, which perch
es on the handle.
