NEW PARISIAN MODELS

UMBRELLA OUTLIN% NOTICED ON THE LATEST BKIRTS. I May Blgnlfy Change in Forthcoming Style*—Lemon-Yellow Linen Promisee to Be Popular—Smart Little Cherry-Red Coat. Redfern is making some practical and Attractive white serge suits for seaside wear. He has always been in favor of plaited skirts, but on some of these white suits I noticed the umbrella outline, and I found it admirable, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent of the London Globe. One model which pleased me especially had an. umbrella skirt which buttoned up the front and which had large side pockets. The coat was halflength, with a shaped basque and a waist belt which buttoned on at the side seams. There was a plain rollover collar and wide turn-back cuffs. Both collar and cuffs were caught down by Ivory buttons and the coat was lined with chintz silk which showed pale blue and pink flowers on a white background. Some of the more elaborate Redfern suits have pipings and buttons made of glove kid. This idea was successfully carried out on a large suit in hedgesparrow-egg blue, which was accompanied by a shirtwaist made of fine white organdie muslin. All the pipings on the coat and skirt were done in hedgesparrow-blue glove kid and there were rows of tiny blue kid buttons on the front of the highnecked blouse.

Redfern seems fond of lemon-yellow lines, one of the most popular novelties of the present season. The Parisiennes are charmed with lemon-yellow linen and muslin and they have the costumes made of these materials finished with sashes In Ivory-white or Belgian blue taffeta. Lemon-yellow may be said to be the color of the season, for dresses and for hats. It is specially in demand for dinner gowns and for picturesque wraps which are thrown on over old-

world muslin frocks. Cherry-red linen braided in fine black silk braid is another summer novelty. I have illustrated a particularly smart coat made of this material which was to accompany a skirt of white linen embroidered a l’Anglaise. The coat was rather short and semitight, with a raised waistband cov-

ered with very fine black braidings. The coat opened over a white linen waistcoat which was fastened with ball buttons made of cherry-red enamel and there was an effective touch of dull blue in the lining. Colored linen coatees are the rage of the hour. They are worn over linen, serge, cloth and silk skirts, and in all circumstances they are decorative and novel. Pansy-purple linen, lined with black and white striped silk, makes a beautiful coat for wearing with white skirts. The same may be said for loose garments made of Joffre-blue or rose Dubarry-pink linen.
