FADS AND FASHIONS

New York. May 13. Dame Fashion has accidentally considered the comfort of the summer woman while planning for her appearance. The extravagant ue of silks and linens in the new frocks will mean that we shall at

least be comfortable, no matter, how warm the weather. It Is so discouraging to keep constantly talking about the high cost of things, and it really does not seem necessary, as far as the woman of fashion la concerned. One has said repeatedly tha the best of the new models are illustrated in the finest of fabrics and trimmings; and when considering that the dressmakers must put forward their best to please the leaders of fashion, the fashion writers pay too little attention to inexpensive materials and decorations that are within the reach of all women. It would be a nice thing to write a fashion , letter about things that did not cost, at the highest over fifty cents a yard. And, when one prepares especially for the subject. It Is won

derful how many delightful things there are to be found in the even ultrasmart shops that are within the reach of the most ordinary dress allowance. For the chiffon and chiffon cloths that are so much in demand for exquisite summer frocks, there are silk muslins and soft finished lawns galore. Here Is a Btory of a black and white striped silk muslin, as shimmering and dainty as any .woman would wish to wear, at only twenty-nine cents a yard and one would not have to walk all over town to find it at that price, either.

The skirt Is narrow, of course. But its distinguishing feature is a little tunic, also perfectly straight that folds back from the front, just as one would tuck back the corner of an apron. Now, where the straight edge of the tunic is turned back, running parallel with the seam of the skirt, there is a hand of Mack silk about three inches wide, stitched with buttons of the same and small black and white loops. The belt is of black silk and there Is a flat bow of the same trimming at the bust line where a flshu of white net finished with Valenciennes lace finishes the low cut neck. The guimpe la also of net which is stitched with narrow black with half sleeves of black silk. An avalanche of short, separate coats has been poured from the workrooms. There seems to be little between the full length model and the very short one. The latter coats are almost alltogether In silk, but they have their . copies in the mercerized linens and in splendid foulards which do not exceed in price fifty cents a yard for a good quality. The disadvantage come in the material's being narrow, when sold for small sums, but the modes are so narrow that one really does not mind, except when planning dne piece Creations.

Pongee, silks and kindred fabrics

re also' of very good quality at fifty

cents a yard and they come in all colors. Bright colors are much the rage and coats in the fashionable vivid hues are Usually made of chiffon, which means that they can be duplicated in any of the cheaper fabrics used instead of chiffon, mousseline, etc., for dresses. -An -unusual number

of beautiful white coats are displayed

in every material from serge to satin and to hciffon. Extraordinary smart coats of sofe white serve or cachmire.

which come in cheap as well as expensive qualities, are made in loose,

ample form, lined with gay color and adorned by big, picturesque collars of

the lining color. Others are braided

in wide silk braid, ornamented with

handsome big buttons anc all white as to collar, though the lining may per

haps still be bright. A loose plain coat not quite full

length looks at first glance as though it were of knitteH wool, but this ef

fect is really given by the weave of

the material. There ts no trimming

save huge pearl buttons, but the lines

of the coat are good and the material

novel and effective. In white satin there are charming models which can be carried cut in pongee or soft silk, all of which offer splendid possibilities in connection with the modish gay colors. One beautiful coat which may serve as a design for a copy in China silk or crepe de chino a N very good quali

ty of which may be had for forty-nine j

cents a yeard In narrow widths is ! embroidered in white and has huge

bright coral revers. Another in white brocade is loosely girdled and has a Directoire waistline with heavy Irish crochet over rich golden yellow. It has a big draped collar and cuffs of the yellowy satin. The importance of the collar can not be overestimated this season either in the province of frocks or that of coats, and extravagant sums are expanded on some of the superb lace collars. Many of the handsomest black silk and satin coats, . owe the most of their cachet to very deep capes of old Venetian lace which falls over the shoulders and back almost to the waistline. In front they are attached to big soft revers of purple

chiffon by tabs of dull gold embroidery and similar tabs are used for the fastening. Gay cretonnes on the antique toile de Jouey order are once more used for coats, with black for

the big collar, but this is not a new idea. It is one of the most fashionable of the season, though and the woman who is getting ready for summer, with but little to get ready should consider the cretonne coat and its possibilities, or the black or white coat with cretonne trimmings. For motoring, driving, etc., there are coats galore, but the separate

street coat is still a problem. Many

women are having made up models in linen which are copies of those which seem to have leaped into the most lasting favor with the permanent coming of spring. The plainly tailored coat of serge is copied in many materials and certainly it is a very effective garment. Its simplicity is relieved ,. in various ways, by braiding, fancy collars, handsome buttons, etc., and It is prone to take on very loose lines suggestive of motor raiment. Hats continue to be of most interesting shape and design. Tall crowns are general favorites and there is no rule for the brims that finish these crowns. Wide and narrow brims are alike fashionable, nor is the small hat longer limited to the use of the tailored frock or dress for rather general wear. Some of the roost chic of the new designs from Paris are tiny soft little caps of gold lace trimmed with

plumes, or satin flowers and aigrettes. As summer draws nearer sunshades are taking their rightful place among

the conspicuous modes. The black velvet sunshade ia perhaps the most startling innovation of the season. It is interesting as a freak of fashion, perhaps, but has made a place for the satin sunshade which is really a

dainty and sensible looking affair es

pecially when it is perfectly plain.

The sunshade of black pongee trim

med with embroidery in the form of a

border or finished with buttonholed

scallops, or stitched with a Persian border is also to be found among, the very smart novelties,

These 12 used pianos were taken in our trade on Starr Players Most of them being our own make the Starr, Richmond, Remington, etc. Although there are two or three that are other makes than our own, they are good pianos. 9 REMODELED AMD REFItJISHED TO ITOff SS In making these trades, these pianos are naturally not in a very good condition. But upon their arrival in our ware rooms they are given a general overhauling, new action where necessary, tuned, renolished, etc so that when placed on sale in our salesrooms, they are often mistaken for new pianos.
