And it is safe to saj that it H t " a new style is presented, prettily, and H is becoming to the average feminine H figure, it will become popular and will H last, especially if it has the charm of H novelty. H Take, for instance, the revival of tnf- H - fcta silk. How tired wc were of it the H - last time it was fashionable, and, unless H ,it was guaranteed, how badly it wore! H 1 So when it was licralded this spring the H 1 first impulse was to leave it out of the H list of desirable summer materials for Hl v gowns. But such hasty judgment is H likely to end as did a short monologue H j overheard recently "Taffctal" exclaimed Hj ' a passerby in a smart New York shop H i t contemptuously with a "not for me" air, H as she hurried through the silk depart- H 1 j meat But, alas, a mass of shimmcr- H ( ing changeable material caught her oj c, H and, turning to look back, she was lost. H i Retracing her steps, she stood heforo it. H) "They arc lovHyl" she sighed, and made Hl v the purchase of material for a drefs. For H so the lure of the beautiful is dangerous to even feminine conservatism in clothes. Taffetn could never have adapted itself to the late clinging styles, but with the new fashions it becomes more and more desirable, and the smart spring gown from Paris here photographed is a god example in point. Not but that there arc loely foulards to be found in the shops; indeed, they never go out of fashion, and the bordered designs of this season are irresistible. So, the woman who bujb a drca with the knowledge that it must labt through several seasons wisely makes a purchase of one of these, perhaps buying buy-ing tho taffeta for her daughter. Old fashioned puffed bands hive been re-vied re-vied to trim these taffetn gowns, so on this model the edge of the pannier is trimmed with it, crossing clmcrly just below the hips, to giic a sort of skirt rever. "Wnisc laec, used as collar and ruffs on the waist, heightens the elegance of the gown b. its repetition on the bkirt of mousseline de soie over white liberty satin. This is not a faithful copy ofthe Loufc XV. style, to be sure, but the resemblance re-semblance is sufficiently strong, though modernized Paris fnthion writers seem to be of accord ac-cord In reporting narrow fur bands as' an outlining trimming for spring or even simimcr frocks This is perfectly plausible, when the past seasons have introduced elvot hats SSn&;h Jmm f mm I Id Fashioned Shirred jifiMK & 9Hffil Wm I rrimmings Are Used4 JSF .i 1 S 1 Photo Copyright. 19". $&& 1 f&fejl '&.

Howler, the In wrap pictured, of ivory colored mcrvcil- tv leusc satin, is on entirely new trinimiug ce les. with or without the fur. The deep : .0 pointed collnr of Venetian lace is ac-ntcd ac-ntcd h) the long swinging, artistic tas- . sels. Ruchings of vehot, satin ribbon, marabou or the latest noilt feather bands or fringe, replace nicely the fur for a more conservative w" carer. That the Empire wnist line stjdl remains in vogue Is seen by the evening gown here hown, though the scant look Is lost by the slashed tunic heavily embroidered in ;T correct Empiro design and the wider satin skirt. Long cord and bald ornr.-meats ornr.-meats fall gnccfullv from shoulder r.nd waist. Prettily In keeping with the Dm- pirc note the headdress is of folded ribbon, rib-bon, pearls and a feather ornament. Large Hats with Low Crowns Frame the Face. Two of the latest hits arc hero photographed, photo-graphed, ODe of the tailored tvpe of black cnnv (horehan), with a taffeta glace crovnt the top of which is heavilj corded. A wide brim facing is of the straw piped along the edge-. Note how the hair i3 drawn forwanl to cover foiehead and ears. The second, framing the face artistically, i of black straw with a single long King's blue sweeping feather. The Paris model gowns aud hats chosen by tho Xcw Yoik buvers on their semiannual semi-annual visits to that'citj are alwa3 most mteresting to those who chioniclc the pacing fashions, for do not thee clever people have to keep thir fingers on the feminine shoppers' pnlfe and their thoughts on the selling possibilities of the models that thej impmt? It is very interesting in-teresting to note this season how little of (he bi7anc in st.vle has been brought over here. There arc nuy amount of new fashion fash-ion touches, but not too extreme. Take the fascinating taffeta pannier dresses, with their lacy skirts, the draped Cast Indian swathings of the evening wraps, the new polonaise effects, reminders remind-ers of those pictured by the painter Alfred Al-fred Stevens. The gathered waist line aud fuller skirt hem seems a surreptitious wedge to introduce the crinoline of tho dajs of Empress Eugenie. Then there was also shown the long waist line on several sev-eral of the one piece morning frocks of unusual un-usual simplicity, the belt narrow, sleeves long and buttoned from wiiet to elbow to fit the forearm, and with little trimming beyond one of the square sailor collars slipping under the belt m the back, or pcr- haps only outlining scam pipings. The f "a belts weic unusually narrow. I e Of the hats the large forms covered with 'J silk or'linen were most striking, for this I covering is not pulled tightly over the hnt, jnc but puffed, diaped or twisted, yet not e( enough to disguise the shape. If the hat is j5lo smoothlj covered it is with "toile de Jouy." t.al a linen stamped in colors with the old fan fashioned Jouj designs, very much like Athj those seen on chinlr. tlc ; THE RIGHT SIZE.
