FANCIES AND FADS OF FASHION

By Julia Bottomley

Popular Late Summer Suit The most popular of late summer suits appears and it has been developed in several, thin and supple materials. Crepe, bordered with serge and having serge collar and cuffs, chiffon cloth or crepe adorned with soutache braid, jersey, and thin supple silks, all contribute to the different interpnetations of this refined design. It is shown in the picture made of crepe de chine in a soft sulphur shade and trimmed very little with soutache braid in the same color. The plain skirt is plaited in at the belt and the sleeveless coat hangs straight from the shoulders. Both fronf and back are gathered In to the short epaulettes, that are also decorated with a braided pattern in soutache. An under-bodjjce of crepe georgette has long plain sleeves finished with a band cuff of material like the stilt. These are

Adorning the Heads of Girls Besides the bouffant and buoyant bows which we have alvyays there are several pretty - ornaments made of ribbon, for adorning the heads of girls. Among them there are bands, finished with rosettes, for the tiniest of little misses, aqd others much like them, for older girls. All are made in about the same way but with jribbons varying in width. For the baby girl very parrow ribbons answer for elas-tic-covered bands which extend across the top of the head and end In rosettes o* baby ribbon at each side. Uncovered elastic holds this ornament to place, and it is covered by the hair. A novelty for little girls is made of ribbon, about five incites wide. It Is bound about the head and

braided and the bodice matches the suit in color. As in many late summer suits the belt is loosely adjusted. The coat fastens with small, covered buttons down the front. For early fall wear the same model is shown made of chiffon cloth banded with serge at the bottom of the coat and skirt, or with velvet or one of the supple plushes. The belt shows a closer adjustment to the figure, and the coat has sleeves of the chiffon cloth. Collar and cuffs are of the heavier material and also the bondings and a straight and short scarf of this fabric,* lined with a soft satin in contrasting color, makes a wonderfully effective accessory. Black-and-white shoes and a black-and-white hat are worn with the gown pictured. They are a good choice with many of the new colors for fall, which include the dahlia shades, purple, taupe and all the Castor shades as well as those with which we are more familiar.

iias almost the effect of a small cap. It is finished with a rosette bow at the left side. This is a quaint and neat arrangement, especially for the little one with short hair. In the illustration above a band with •rosettes at each side Is worn by the little girl of eleven or so, with her party dress. It Is of pink satin ribbon a little more than an inch wide, shirred over a flat elastic band, and It extends all around the head. The small flat rosettes at each side may be centered with beads or little cabochons, since this is an adornment for high occasions. Plain ribbons In light colors have the preference for ornaments of thlg kind. But for everyday and school wear darker colors and plaids may be depended upon as a safe choice for fan.
