Therefore the modiste benefits in the long Chauncey M. Depew took Washing- storm early in the season with her pretty suits, and she wore them made of foulard, made of taffeta, made of cashmere and made of novelty goods. Nothing séemed too plain to be turned by her into a becoming little shirt waist suit » Little Exclusive Styles. A great many young women of good t==te but of moderate purses have decided 8% ‘m Wack and white. This was for years the plan of Ethel Bar- wwct uat vne could make +. .iuch better appearance in black and white and look always so much more ele- gantly gowned than in colors. The girl who has very little money to spend Is ad- NCy LEE MMED vised to trv this rule and to note how much better she will look tban though she were dressed in cheap light-toned goods. But, for the woman who likes colors, there are certainly some very handsome things to be hail. And not only in the outing line, but in the afternoon scheme of dress, are pretty and new ideas pos- sible. It is to be noted that the eton which threatened to disappear, is com- ing back again and that there are & hundred new ways of making it One of the new etons has long stole- like fronts while the back is tight ng. Another has oox-plaited fronts with the ‘boxes flying loose. Still another has fronts that are cut away and lace stoles sub- stituted. You can really make every dress in your wardrobe on the eton plan and still have new styles upon which to draw. And, In connection with the new etons, "t may be noticed that the collars are very much chapged from the old collars and that there are wide lace collars, deep taf- feta collars and collars that are made of Mexican drawn work. These collars are Worn with etons of every kind and are changed from one gown to another at will, for they are made detachable. But it is the summer girl's shoes which are interesting this season. And speak- lr;s of shoes they make quite another story. There have been shoes other seasons variety in shoes quits outpumbers those of every other ot And 1t may be sald, also, that stockings show great diversity and that thers are hundreds of new pairs of stockings for the summer girl.to see and to wear. Skirts are worn shorter than they were. The walking skirt is in every woman's trunk; and the pedestrian skirt Is the rule for the street. Between this snd the English trotting skirt there is only an inch and, then, comes the rainy day skirt, which is the rtest skirt of ail. A very economical woman, yet a very fashionable one, declares that she buys a walking skirt, and cuts it off when it is frayed, to make .a pedestrian skirt, which is for very long w. Later skirt outlasts itsel forever. Stockings have become a very important part of dress, ar material and ev: nue I the morning you see prett in tan shoes with very high hee stockings to exactly match This is considered very smart and want to own something that wi 1 pretty all the season you can put your money in a pair of tan ties with stockings to match. In the afterneon you see such a var of pretty footgear, and one of the pret- tiest of all things is the new patent leat er slipper, wh Fifth avenue much upon thdt thoroug This pater patent leathe \ front. It is a stitched seam, sometimes stitched on white, sometimes in black, like a Colonial buckle. This slipper is worn with black rilk stockings, thin as a ‘web. It looks though 4arning parties would be the fashionable taing Dlasza afternoons this summer, for stockings are of such extreme delicacy that they tear and hole at the slightest provocation, and unjess she would wear poor stockings, lhelh'lollb.l.llonmmdaldw;g darning and refooting.
