Show Fashion Hints The big .Paris dressmaking housos begin their openings this next week, and no ono but tho dressmakers themselves know what thir will show. Even they cannot tell wnat tho public will like. Only tlmu can show that. In tho meantime, the air is full of hints of tho coming styles. Beads will in all likelihood not only hold their present popularity but gain a larger popularity. Tho French and American dressmakers aro both Using them. Thoy.used to spangle net tunics and they nro used in braid like fashion, to outline the finish edges. ' The wrinkled basque Is no longer a thing of tho future. It Is a thing of tho present. All the paper pattern houses aro featuring It, nnd It has appeared In many Inexpensive ready made "clothes. The wrinkled basque should beVreated cautiously by women, wom-en, however. In fact it is like man", new styles. For ono, tho very Httlo woman should avoid It, for tho present, pres-ent, as it makes her look almost In significant. The very stout woman, too, should leave it alone until the corset of the mode Is something more definite than a girdle. Tho corset dealers, by tho way, say that a high busted corset Is the next thing In their lino to bo offered to tho public. Already a corset that reaches four Inches above the waist r Is offered at somo of the fashionable ( shops. Thero Is no chnngo In the liking for Bashes and girdles by well dress, ed women. There la, of course, a change In their liking, for each week they llko something now. But their liking for girdles remains' ns strong as It has been for months past. Sash ends are still UBed to dandle from any point of tho circumference ol tho waist or hips. Ono favorito sort of sash end Is tipped with a bead tassel, and on n good street model of navy blue sergo thero is a serge bolt with end In front of colored beads. Worn caps nnd hats for small children chil-dren nro mado In many styles nnd rubrics, nnd tho womnn who does not feel llko Investing very many cents In them can fashion ono herself her-self for very llttlo money. They are sold ready stamped for embroidery, In fine white or colored poplin nnd Ihey require very llttlo work In put- ting -them together. Paper patterns nro oId, too, by which a charming -itle enp tan bo cut .ind tho nioKrng Is interesting to any woman who likes to sew, A pretty plquo cap, with a llttlo round brim, shown for children lu one store Is mado of white, with a little rosette of bluo satin ribbon on one side of tho brim. Another pretty pret-ty enp Is mado of white saline, bound with deep rose and banded with a strip of white piped with rose on eocii side. Tho band Is loosely tied on the left side and finished with two whlto cotton tassels. Then thdto is a white poplin cap faced with pink, with the pink faced brim turned back over the back. An easy way of finishing tho belt line of a small girl's frock Is with I beading or laddering, embroidered on I mull, lawn or batiste, through which two Inch satin ribbon Is run. The small girl Is as much at homo In a capo as Is her mamma, arid ono that Is very attractive Is mado of black and whito chocks, lined with bright red and with a red lined hood. Tho brosBlcro Is still a much ap predated part of a woman's ward robe. Patterns aro sold so that the clever needlewoman can mako dainty dain-ty brassieres for herself, ont of any bits of ribbon, chiffon, net, lace, or embroiderer that she may have. It would be an odd thing, wouldn't it, it the kimono which for a time was practically synonymous with the word negligee or dressing gown, should take a subordinate place In women's wardrobes? Many of tho new negligees havo lost all semblance, to tho Kimono of beloved memory and It must bo ndmltted that many of them aro far mora becoming than tho kimono, with Its rather severe neck line, could be. Somo of tho newest ones nro called empire wrappers, wrap-pers, a rather ungainly namofor anything any-thing ns dainty and fetching ns these combinations of silk and chiffon nnd crepe usually nl-o. If fur proves too worm for American Amer-ican women, bo that thoy aro unwlll lug to take up for muffs, as their l-n-rlslnn sisters have done, they can content themselves with chiffon iPJsSJSJSJSJSJSJSJSJSJSjH muffs, another charm lug fad of tho- JBjgillllllllll French womon this summer. TaggggggggggggH 'gggggfl Thero havo been statements to the H effect that the new hatM need no H pins. In spite of theno statemcuTh, ' M many women havo found It Inexpedl- j cnt to go pinlcss. Moreover, the now hats, which are to be large, will, jB doubtless need pins. A plain pin, to ., ! the wny of thinking women Is al- JH ways profernb'c to an elaborate one, H and such pins aro thoso .with plain Ibbbbbb llttlo round pearl heads that scTI fur Liggggggfl about n dollar a pali'. They can ': liigilllllllla had In both black nnd white for olth- lgggggggggfl er whito or black hatB. And most ot liiggggggggggl the hats of midsummer, by the way, IsLlllllllV aro-either black or white. jjjjjj |
