Show LATEST NEW YORK FASHIONSI Z TTxrr- -' --; BY EDITH RAYMOND. .V' !' - ' .-- - I Special to The Tribune. NEW YORK, .Inly 11. The colors that are popular this season aro Copenhagen Copen-hagen blues and the geranium shades, and from these tones almost every woman wo-man will select one tint, choosing too often, alas, to suit her tasto rather than because tho color is becoming. There are so many difforent tones in both colors that it will bo only the exceptional ex-ceptional woman who cannot find a shnde to suit her. If all fair, women could wear successfully one certain color, col-or, and all dark women another, thero would be no difficulty in getting suitable suit-able garments, but there are as many different classes in the two types as thpre aro diversity of shades in tho given colors. Then there is the woman who. is neither a decided blonde or brunetto. the one whose hair is neither light nor dark, and whose eyes may be either blue, blue-gray, gray or brown. Bui there are colors suitable for all of those if proper selections aro made. u U Pongee is the most used material of the season. When it arrived with a printed border in the first showings of spring silks its success for this particular partic-ular period of tunics and elaboration generally was assured. Tho bordered pongees combine most, effectivo colorings color-ings and aro to he had in a great number num-ber of effects from simple striped arrangements ar-rangements to multi colored ones. One of the prettiest pongees seen this year for eirls was of tho natural color, bordered bor-dered with a series of narrow porcelain blue stripes in clusters of three. Made up in a perfectly fitting jumper froek with a tucked net yoke touched deftly with silk bands of the same color tho result was simple and most attractive. The bolero has put in an appearanco again in imported costumes. 'Phis lime it is out in colored taffeta with a sleeve out in one with the body part. Tho diminutive coat just reaches the liigh-waisted liigh-waisted directoirc skirt. In effect it is short and tight and of distinct direct di-rect oiro flavor. a f. A fawn-colored voile eown seen recently re-cently was worn with a little green bolero. bo-lero. ' A full jabot of lace with a wide black satin bow at I lie throat gave the finishing touches. Another little coat i of the kind was also made of green. It had a narrow rolled collar of black satin and three black satin buttons on . each side of the front and on the sleeves It was worn with a corded ' white cotton skirt which was trimmed with coarso braided net. With a pale biscuit and black striped skirt seen this week thero was worn a deep ccriae silk bolero trimmed with a cord covered cov-ered with the material. There was a little- waistcoat of smoked gray taffeta. From one of the leading Pans makers there came this week a gown of unusual un-usual combination of color. It was green, cut in princess shape with a tunic skirt. The oddity of the gown was the band of copiwa'lored pongee at the bottom of the skirt which harmonized har-monized remarkably with the green of the upper part. Where the colors met there was a braided band of the grceu to blend them. The frout part of the bodice was lace with copper-colored reveres. re-veres. The reveres were edged with thick cord on which was rolled --rcin silk slashed lierc and there with narrow nar-row copper-colored braid. Tho short strnight sleeves fell over white ones. There is no overloading of trimmings except, in the dainty needlework, which, in soutache, embroidery and lace, requires re-quires infinite time and consequent monev. The demanded effect is simple in the extreme, beauty of line and harmony har-mony of color being the first consideration! considera-tion! I. I. u Crepe dc chine is the foundation for many of the handsomest gowns. With it there aro often seen tunics of daintv flowered or bold patterned gaur.e, which are more often than not in the border effects. Many of the crope do chine coats have cutaway fronts, but waistcoats waist-coats add too appreciably to their warmth to be desirable for midsummer. The crepe dc chine coat for wear .with lingerie gowns is the newest comer in the field of wraps. Tt 1ijib arrived in the Wake of the. satin nnd silk jackets ' which have been carrying full sail ever i since spring fashions were introduced, t Those little coats that have just enough I protection for a comfortable summer I dav. are moRt. attractive in tho new col- ! ors matched up to hats and parasols I and sometimes to shoes, helts and other I accessories. Braiding appears on them or not, but cmbroiderv of more or less elaboration is a foregone conclusion in these days of needlework. I There is a marked liking for pique again which is evidenced among the , embroidered and braided pattern robes. Pique will not, however, have a strenu-I strenu-I ous revival this summer, but that it will be back again next year with all its old-time popularity there- is more than a little reason for prophecy. The material is mnking up handsome tailor finished gowns on the other side, but tliey are always marvels of needlework in' embroidery' and Ince. Tn coat pattern pat-tern robes here, pique is seen mainly elaborate with braid or inset with coarse lace. These pattern coat robes have been offered in a wide variety this .year, the coats finished and the skirts as nearly completed as they enn be before a last fitting. u Big hats arc still the rage. Panamas aro being dyed in various colors and trimmed with scarfs of niousselinc and other gauzes. A smart one sceu wan Indian rod in color and wound with a scarf of white niousselinc. Girls are making hats of the big oriental fans which come in all colors. The sticks are drawn cut and the heart-shaped fan is put flat on the head with a trimming of u scarf or ribbon. Jet is having a great revival, and all the old-time bracelets, brace-lets, brooches, combs, chains and nock-laces nock-laces are being used again. J, U t. At fashionable dances in Paris this season girls arc wearing in their hair wreaths of tiny blossoms, such as forget-me-nots, lilies of the valley or pompon pom-pon roses. Embroidered light gray gauze over a darker shade is a Into fad for evening gowns. t H A woman who has just returned from Paris says ihat one of the lending styles in evening gowns during tho early summer sum-mer season was the gown with long straight lines not exaggerated in scantiness, scanti-ness, but very simple in effect. In it, instead of sleeves, a gauze scarf is gathered gath-ered and cnughl at the back of the bodice and draped over the arms by tlio wearer to present the appearanco of sleeves. |
