New York, June 15.-One of the
most sensible fashions this season
is that of muslin breakfast coats.
For spring wear we had the taft
feta and satin back crepe coats in
this style, and they proved their
worth time and again. For the real
Iy sultry morning. however, even a
taffeta breakfast coat is too warm.
This is when the muslin-perhaps
a daintily dotted Swiss-is thing
of comfort and a joy forever in its
crisp and Numbered freshness.
Reaching well below the knees.
fitted with pockets and piped with
shirred ribbon the muslin break
fast coat is practically a house
dress.
New York, June 1.-two ideas
in summer undertakings are doing
their best toward comfort and
coolness One is the shadow proof
washable satin underslip. This
is fer wear beneath the sheer gown
and does away with the need of
Camisole and petticoat, as well as
with any bunchy appearance at the
! waist. 1t is so sleek and tailored
that to slide a. Summer frOck on ov-
er it is a real pleasure. The other
idea is the summer nightgown
/ without sleeves. 1t comes in linen
/ or crepe de chine, and has only wide
ribbons or tailored straps over the
shoulders
Paris, June 15.-With lines re-
J tanning their general simplicity,
! modfstes have been forced to ex-
press their genius in combination
of colors. In this respect they
have run wild Costumes, instead
! of cIinging to one color or to at
most three are now a riot of vari-
Gus shades, none related to the 9TH
er. Though the gown itself may be
! of some neutral tint such as the
| ivory so much in vogue, it is dec
GRATED with laces, ribbons and
floating panels in a brilliant va
riety OF hues. Five or six striking
/ colors are by no means unusual on
one costume these days
| London, June 15.-During this,
1.-THE gala month of London season,
the lace gown has so far proved its
aScendancy. Whether for the races
or for some smart afternoon event,
the crepe de chine dress ornament
ed with silk lace is almost obliga-
| tory for the woman who processes
! to be in the forefront of fashion.
SIanting tunics of lace over crepe
( de chine are late development to-
gether with beIl-shaped sleeves of
lace that may be long or may stop
/ short at the elbow. The lace, of
course, matches the gown. Navy,
tones of sand, and black are the
prevailing coIors.
| Paris. June 15-Passion fruit,
/ iris, and magnolia are the mOdish
hat decorations at present. They
are used, in rather faded pastel
shades, on hats of semi-transpar-
ent straw Red. which had so long
a reign, is now decidedly "out," the
Parisienne having discovered al
most overnight that it was con-
spicuOus shade for a well bred wo-
man TO wear This opinion as to
red hats will prevail until, clipper
= as ever, red comes into style again.
Mauve and purple are in high ia
Vor now, and next comes brown and
yellow. The Parisienne likes to see
her yellow tagel hat trimmed with
u few big black marguerites.
New York, June 15.-No matter
how the mercury may climb, the
summer fur insists on enciTcling
the neck of the fashionable wo-
man. It's latest encircling is on
the neck of lovely summer wrap,
intended for wear over filmy
gown at a garden party or a sea-
shore veranda event. The cape it
self may be DIS light as you please
but the collar should be of eTH4ine,
taupe fox, Caracul, or Russian fox.
1t Is undeniable that as contrast
with chiffon or crepe de chine or
georgette, the fur is exquisite. And
it is a safe assertion that, owning
such d cape, no woman will find the
night too warm to wear it.
New York, June 15.-It is not
necessary today to have a bridal
gown of heavy satin, glorious
though that material always is.
Some of the June brides will be
married in white organdie inset
with fine lace. Valenciennes is the
favorite, the organdie particularly
suitable. Wells are being used, the
kind that hang to the tip of the
brides nose. The dutch cap is still
a favorite head dress and made of
silver is almost compulsory.
London, June 15.-Pale yellow
georgette over white, the georgette
embroidered with white soutache
braid, is one of tn popular COM
