Show l " ' ' S- lis ';; FILMY FINERY FOR SUMMER DAYS. ' . Written Exilusfvely for This Paper. Now that tho glad-Easter season is upon us and the air Is filled with tho fragrauco of opening-buds, the feminine fancy turns to shops and styles, to t fabrics and to finery. If milady ds to bj "the glass of fashion and the; j ' ' mould of form, tho cbsorved of all observers," ehe must give thought to her ' proper aparcllug. 1 1 ' The early season on tho Riviera has brought out many exqulnlte sum- . ' mer gowns m ail manner of filmy fabrics. Indeed, tho thinness of materials P- j ''is the most characteristic feature of the spring and summer modes. Voiles, It? Panama cloth and other' light canvas weaves are the delight of the tailor. Isjk i A summer gown now is a summer gown no stifling materials or even styles Ijftj for the comfort-lover of to-day. Eolicrtnc. plain and ombroidored, carries jm, out admirably tho airy styles laid down for summer. Thin textures of silk tgy i : and wool and cotton and wool arc countless. Perhaps there are no more&H ( fascinating fabrics in this dazzling aiTay than the LVenoh, novelty silks andftf $ HL - Itndia. These ha ve extreme suppleness .of texture. and appear In the most Mffl HT Illusive shades, being especially adapted to tho shirrs amd puffings which distinguish so many of tho smart gowns. It is indeed a figure season, Hftfl f Checks and plaids are seen overywherd and often as a background for discs, tM stripes and figures. Vm Among the cotton gowns thnre are embroidered Swisses, organdies and (k the sheerest of Jndla mulls, all more or less' elaborately trimmed with lace ft insets and frills. Tho linen, and lingerie gowns know no limit to their pi elaborateness, and popularity. Theso arc adorned with the most exqulsltell ( Brodcric Anglalso or English -eyelet work. Hats, belts and parasols also m ' follow this popular fashion. Spats of linen to match the gown arc among Ira j the new accessor.iea,to the feminine wardrobe. Sleeves pert at ;he top, nar- ffl , rowed shoulders, high stocks, deep girdie.s and skirts shaped carefully over r the hips and flaring at the feet are all the demands of tha season's modish- K t ncss. With these limitations the designer is allowed a wide field. Tho t surplice modes In fact or effect are seen in many of the new gowns, and the f t I (. little chemisette tucker is seen everywhere in all manner of thin, lacy and . mull weaves. The 'suspender, too, has appeared again upon all kinds of I gowns. It forms a suit effect in silk and wool, with skirt and straps of ouo ! material and a blouse of another. On tho lace waist the suspenders match , "' ' the lining and on silk gowns they are often of a contrasting color. ,r The fancy separate blouse for dressy occasions is again gaining favor. Among the French designers the woman of moderate means will hall its re- --.. turn with delight, for It is the most economical mode which has cemo into favor. Hl t j ,,' . Our designs am taken directly from the fashions of "J.a Bolle Parisicnue," HhBHHI du American Individuality has modified them to suit the taste of "La Belie Hl - Amcricainc."

We have had j tho lingerie waist, tfie lingerie costume and the lingerie hat, but it has re-id re-id malnod for this season to bring out the lingerie coat These promise to be 1 very popular before the season Is over. For the most part these ar of white English embroidery and finished In Eton, short length coat and i Redingote styles. Parasols are to bo quite a necessary part of the wardrobe, made so by 3 the pelileness of tho hats. These appear in all kinds and conditions, from 3 the severely phi In and sombre affair to the creation of film and furbelows. j Parasols will match gowns, shoes and spats, and this means that not one ') but several will be needed by tho really smart woman. Among, the imported suits we find the taffetas coat with a skirt of the j same shade in broadcloth or Venetian cloth and the plain color coats are ; here again with the checked or plaided skirts. Another innovation is tho i three-picco costume, consisting of bodice and skirt of one material und a coat in contrasc A checked taffelas, which combines plum color and whito, J is accompanied by a plain color jacket The jacket has a hip length basque 3 and the body part is slightly pouched. ) The fancy separate blouse for dressy occasions is promised a now leas- of life and ha3 already appeared In Parisian circles. This -will be hailed i with delight by the woman of moderate means, for it is'tho most economical i mode which the High Priestess of Fashion has yet favored. ; Short sleeves appear in gowns of nil descriptions except those designed ; for morning wear.
