LATEST TIPS AS TO STYLE

New Things That Have Been Observed Recently and That Are of Real Importance. \

The cartwheel hat is the very lab est thing in millinery and offers an agreeable variety from the eternal small hat of the summer. The new cartwheel has a wide brim extending straight out from a rather low, conical crown, and both brim and crown are covered with velvet or silk. These hats, in black velvet; have huge white begonias posed against the crown in front,

Creased skirts are an odd whimsey of fashion this summer. The wide circular tunics of linen, worn over narrow, straight skirts, are Ironed in creases from belt to hem, which gives the tunic a ribbed effect suggestive of plaiting. Pussy willow silk tunics also take to this creased idea admirably. Tunics of serge or mohair—which is very fashionable this season —are harder to crease satisfactorily. Sheer blouses of white organdie are made novel and interesting by buttons of silver or gilt. Naturally such bub tons do not launder successively, and they must be rubbed up now and then to keep them bright and sparkling. They do not require so secure sewing on, however, as the button that is really used for a fastening, for the modern blouse or bodice is provided with concealed snap-fasteners, which are more easily and quickly manipulated than either buttons or hooks and eyes.

With the white tailleur - worn for yachting, white buttoned boots of buckskin are considered more correct than pumps. On board thfi yacht the high-heeled buttoned shoes may be exchanged for rubber-soled deck shoes, but these are not correct for shore wear.
