THE TIMES. 9
FADS AND FASHIONS
New York, June- 14. Tha weather li till raw and wintry, but the shops catering: to women's fashion r anticipating the summer season by several months ana are offering the most charming and interesting display of summer things. Conspicuous among the summer things by their simplicity are the linen frocks and suits. - They fol low to a great extent the modes of the past few months, yet there is much that is new and interesting. Skirts are decidedly longer and fuller. The kimono sleeve seems to be on the wane. The waist line is about two inches above normal and coats are cutaway and belted in. Belts, particularly on the linen dresses and suits, are wider. The display of lingerie frocks and materials in the fashionable shops Is partticul&rly interesting and attractive Just now and the variety shown is quite bewildering. New dotted Swisses and batistes are wonderfully soft and fine In character, and there are dotted voiles and crepes which come with beautiful border patterns. In making up a bordered crepe or voile, the border design is usually cut away from the plain material and afterward joined to it as a trimming by means of lace, insertion or narrow entre deux. At least one-third of the so-called "lingerie" models this season have chiffon in their makeup, a fact which
precludes their ever visiting the friend
ly washtirb. When chiffon Is left out, dark net is sometimes introduced to give the cachet of a dark touch on the otherwise light colored frock. Black net yokes and frills are often seen on otherwise white costumes, while some very aristocratic lingerie frocks are touched up with gray net. Net is extravagantly popular this season and many 'lingerie" frocks, as they are called, are made entirely of net, with trimmings of shadow or Valenciennes lace. Such .frocks are exquisitely dainty, but they are rather fragile for out-of-door wear and will never give the service that a lingerie model of handsome embroidery and batiste or voile and heavier lace will give. Most of the net frocks have flounces on the skirt and some of them have as many as four or five rows of flounces. Some of the net frocks are accompanied by gay little taffeta wraps' or coats which add a dainty color touch when
accompanied by a hat in similar color. Subtle and mysterious blues, pinks, lavenders and corn colors, produced by changeant weavings, are the fashion in sashes at present and some of these changeable taffeta ribbons are very expensive, because "they are so much In demand. After all, the simple taffeta drees (holds a gratifying promise for practical women. It is excellent for cool days, for afternoon, evening and for traveling. It should be plain enough to show a perfection of fit and give a background on which a handsome piece of lace or embroidery can be added. The most effective taffeta frocks in simple style
are self-trimmed. PI eatings, qvtmncB and ruchlngs are the accepted ornamen
tation. This means two or three extra, yards of silk, bat when the cot Is counted it will be found that the dress is quite economical. The changeaible and cbametoen taffetas are as popular for coats tm for
frocks, the darker tones betas; used for serviceable morning and general wear coats, the lighter colorings making dainty coats for dressy afternoon and
evening purposes. But the plain one
tone taffetas In lustrous chiffon quality are gaining ground and many of the most exclusive models are in this one-
tone silk.
Very likeable and practical coats in black chiffon taffetas are made, simply.
long, straight, cover-all garments, which gain individuality from their lin
ings of picturesque flowered chiffon or
marquisette and deep frill collars or
hoods of the same chiffon. The quaint flower designs of the Juoy order are
preferred in the chiffon and the collars give a touch of gaiety to a coat otherwise sombre. One good model of this class has its collar reaching only to the shoulder point, drawn down from there in full fichu folds to form the front of the collar and falling straight from the shoulders in the back to form a square full tablike collar back. Another has a
deep full cape collar in the back and over the shoulders, narrowing in front to points well below the waist line. These models are made up, too, in colored chiffon and one in soft dove gray is particularly attractive.' Fasteners and any trimming motifs used to supplement the colors are made from the silk. . This self-trimming, shirred cords, boulllonees, ruches, etc.. Is of course characteristic of taffeta and Is very effective, though much overused and abused in the cheap models. Neckwear always plays an important
part in the summer wardrobe, but this
season it has almost more than . Its share of attention. Not only is the separate neckwear more than usually varied and interesting but the neck fin
ish of the modish frock or blouse shows more variety and originality than it has
In many seasons.
The Pierrot, or clown, ruche and the
various phases of the plaited tulle or lace frill have become familiar during the winter, but are more popular than even both in single and double frills, the latter usually in a white tulle plaiting over one of black. Similar frills in any depth from three Inches to shoulder point length are used in combination with close high collars of tulle, lace, velvet or silk, and a narrow frill finishes the top of the collar band, an band, an arrangement becoming to but few women. These collars, in larger size, made with deep frills in black or in black and white, have to some extent taken the place of the neck ruche of tulle so long popular and are worn as separate neck protection with collarless coats or frocks.
When fhere xe collars somewtiat
similar in line to these. but
often without any trying top frill and indeed without frill at all, the cape portion attached to a close high collar of tulle, lace or lingerie toeing . flat round cottar Instead of a plaited frill. Stocks without this addition, whether in fiat collar or plaited frill, are a boon to the woman who wears . high stock, for they are easily adjusted and finish a blouse or bodice more cleverly than a plain stock does, the cape section doing away with any gaping between neokband and stock. Variations upon this theme are apparently endless and many of the separate stock and cape arrangements practically cover all of Che bodice, for which they furnish all the trimming necessary. The chemisette appears, even though but an inch is seen under the collar. It Is plain or gathered and of contrasting material, and is generally becoming to models with or without collars.
