LIFE becomes mors comfortable
when the clothes problem be-
come! more settled. Take It large and
small, dress does make a difference, to
quote one of the classic remarks on
clothes. All the protests of this ex-
citable era that have been made
against the fashions of the day have
shared the fate of the sister protests
made against turkey trotting, it in*
creased Indulgence In both.
Possibly If no one had said any-
thing about the hobble skirt and the
Texts Tommy glide, although how they
go together is a mystery to those who
have seen the annexation of both, the
two fashions would have died out or
become harmless. Antagonism pro-
duced extravagance in each, and the
result It that the twostep waltz and
the pleated skirt are as dead as last
summer.
Both have revolutionized society in
a drastic way. and each has been ac-
cepted as a permanent thing; per-
manent, that is, until somt new caprice
ousts them.
Fashions have something In com-
mon with language, for the slang of
one day is in the dictionary of another
jay, and the eccentric garb of one
season is conservative the next season.
The world of women has accepted
so much in the way of conspicuous
dressing that it hardly realizes its own
violent protest at the beginning. It
now embraces what it once considered
hideous, and as soon as the new be-
comes old there is something startling-
ly newer to reckon with. The condi-
tion keeps all in a state of excitement.
The battle that is waged in the
sartorial field sends its noise through
the rural bypaths and nearly all the
women in America are aware of the
fight. If it does not prove exciting to
them it at least is a subject of keen
interest, for all women are not yet in-
terested in the "uplift" questions to the
exclusion of the domestic ones, and
while they may not approve of some
of the fashions that are introduced as
new and artistic they want to know
about them.
Tlds la a mental condition of the fem-
inine mind that few men, If any, *111
reckon with. The exceptions are the men
who sell clothe*. The.r know that every
woman la Interested In the aubject of
dress whether or not aha makaa an; pre

WARM WEATHER OOWNS.
Tbe American climate dues aot alio*
much body covering from tha flrat of
June to tbe flrat of October, and the
cynic will aay that no one has bean able
to dlacover thla commodity In any Na-
tion lu the laat two years. Ladies* hai
become more and more the faahlou. rt
used to be an axiom that a woman waa
well dressed by reaaou of what ahs lett
off rather tbau by what aha put on; thle
phraalug may etuud aa It la today with
the word fashionable substituted for
well dreesod, and the whole meaning be-
comes cynical ratlier than Instructive.
The reason our summera are difficult
to dress for ie that there art always cool
days to be reckoned with. We need the
clothea of tbe tropica as well aa those of
our own Slate. A coat suit Is needed that
has some degree of warmth and the thin-
nest of wash fabrics ere needed for the
days when even mosquito netting would
prove a burdeu.
To the dismay of a large number of
women white muslin will not bo fash-
ionable thla year. It is a fabric they
know all about and they aro loath to go
Into a field they do not know ao well, yet
thuy will find cotton marquisetle and
silk voile admirable substitutes for mus-
lin. The old familiar waeb net haa re-
turned to fashion aud thla should bring
gladness to any woman's heart who re-
members how well It stands the tub and
Iron aud how deticlously cool It la fur ex-
cessively hot afternoons and evenluga.
It Is not necessary to line any one of
these fabrics for hot weather wear 12 one

linings, w hen attached to the gown, la
uncomfortable in July and August.
If one does not wish to depend on
fresh aud faultless underwear then the
wiser plan Is to make a princess slip of
messaline, which Is thinner than all the
other silks and satins and which can be
washed or cleaned quite easily. There Is
no difficulty In maklug several of these
slips at h

Among the colors which are irm.nl to
choose are white, flesh pink and canary
yellow. Auy one of these may be worn
under white, and with the recrudescence
ot elaborate colored girdles there Is a
chance to vary plain white cost nines in i
manner which has been dear throughout
the decades to every woman's heart. Can
you remember the time when It was not
considered the top notch of smart econo-
my to have a black or white gown which
could be worn with a colored girdle and
flowers to match tn ns maay different
combinations as the wearer wishedT
This combination has not always been
fashionable, but It has Hlw.iy.t been lie*
lived, and many women Indulged In It
despite the Journals of the mode Now
that fashion allows It again there will no
doubt be u rush at tlio counters which
hold white lace aud white net.
silk suits rule thio hay
All that satin meant last summer silk
mentis this summer. Wa see very little
of the former worn outside of evening
gowns. I,'oat suits, one-pleoe frocks and
those new short wraps are of the differ-
ent weaves of silk. There Is a brocaded
satin, It Is true, which Is made up Into
those fascinating little carriage coats, aa
they are called, which are a revival of
ACCESSORIES TO SMART CLOTHES
TKl/.EiTE is a name applied to a uew
cottun velvet with uncut threads, and
probably other trade names are applied
to the same material. This material sells
for (3.50 a yard and Is forty-five Inches
wide It Is made lu lovely colors-one of
tha prettiest a soft, rich yellow. It Is
used for street suits and Is especially
suitable for them, siuce it does not abow
wrinkle*, is soft and clinging enough to
adapt Itself well to tha draped models
and launders well.
Oyster white llneu is sold In lengths
sufficiently long for a one-piece frock
for $15. Un Hie linen, stamped In bril-
liant red or blue or green, are turnback
collar uud cuffa. These ueed only cut-
ting out and hemming to make them dec-
orative aud easily used accessories.
. Attractive handbags, or change purses,
as they are called, are mads of corded
blue, brown or black silk. They are
mounted with brasa clasps and have
straps of silk about an Inch aud a half
wide for handles. They sell for K.T5.
The purses are liued with soft white silk
and are equipped with a small mirror
held firmly to the lining by a short
whits allk strap.
Coat protectors of fine net, to be worn
tinder tha coat collar for the protection of
the walel beneath It, are made of net and
lacs. One attractive style is mads of
fins white net, a atrip about half a yard
wide laid In soft plaits and finished at
the ends with white silk tassels. An-
other style Is made of two strips of
shadow lace edge fastened together
along the straight edges with a piece
of narrow lace beading. Thla protector

spring shows even more of It than the
early aprlng showed Every dsy some
new fancy of the ribbon makers Is put
on tbe counters, aud la eagerly aelsed
upon by dressmakers and milliners. An
Interesting use for Oriental figured rib-
bon shows It to band the edges of the
Robespierre collar and turnback cuffa of
a white allk ahlrtwalst. It Is also used
along tbe edge of the front closing The
most daring colors can be safely used lu
combination with white; and some of the
Futurist ribbons, with gaudy green and
red end purple and blue combined, can
«e applied as edgings for which silk

Figured cotton crepe and accordion
plaited white allk am used together. One
frock has a aklrt of the plaited silk aud
an overblonse of blue and pink and white

or, more properly, hip drapery, of ths
crepe, and collar and cuffa of the earns

Lace waists are to be much worn thla

Thin Gowns Worn Over Silk
Slips-Old Fashioned White
Wash Net and Colored Mus-
lims With Small Patterns
Have Returned to High
Favor for Summer House
GownSo
the styles of 1840, whan they were called
mantelets.
These hang squarely from tha shoul-
der, have large sleeves put Into a lowered
tirmbola, cut at three-quarter length jtnl
not touching the arm. Often there Is n
slash at each side of the walat, and these,
I as well as all the edges, are finished
j with a bux-plalted quilling of satin rib-
j bon. By the way, they ure exceedingly
fashionable and are accredltud to Callot.
They are made to go with ornate one-
piece frocks which have transparent
bodices.
The silk which la used for coat anlts Is
ribbed In some fashion aud called by
many names, Among the weaves Is the
kind that came out lust April, woven lu
two color) and showing raised strips or
cords. Blue and black, brown uud yel-
low, gray and black were the favorite
combinations, aud attractive as the allk
waa, It did not have a large followlug.
This year It Is revived along with the
other rough auil corded surfaces and
makes up Into a very smsrt tailored coat
suit. It holds Its Hues better than some
of the thinner silks, wolch mast be
draped to be at their best Whenever ona
desires a mannish suit for the atreet it
should really be of material that has a
bit of stiffness, but as the tendency of
the day la toward volumluous drapery
aud ornato convolutions of cloth rather
than straight ironed lines, it may bo use-
less to dilute upou the service given by
a stiffly corded fabric.
On the other band, It muy not be as
useless as it aouuds oil first thought, for
there is bound to be a stroug reaction
agaluat the overdrupery of tbo duy. Tbe
fashion was held lu leash somewhat dur-
ing the winter seasuu because atreet
suits were made of such heavy material,
but It la running loose on the street to-
day, as evidently every womau thiuks she
is an artist at thla kiud of work.
Because of this very condition there is
going to be a strong revulsion against It,
and already at the very threahhold of sum-
mer clothes there Is a falling off on the
part ot the smartly turned out women to
avoid all semblance of Intricate gowning
between 10 In the mornlug and tl In the
afternoon and go bach to tba mannish
severity which haa made our women fa-
mous.
It has been a stock aenteuce of the times
for two years that ladles are dressing
like deml-mondaines, which Is rather
foolish when one analyses it, for the half
world wears the most wouderful clothes
made for the human figure, put a new
sentence will have to be Invented to de-
scribe the difference between the women
who are dreased like ladles on the street
FBI HE gown on the left shows one of the new full peplums which Is attached to the skirt and not the blouse. It
gives very much the effect of a ruffled Jacket and is worn in various forms on nearly all our clothes. The material
of this frock is white faille, which clings to the figure an d has taken the place of satin to a great extent The bodice
haa the sieeves cut in one with the shoulder* and is trimmed with a lace ruffle and a deep pleated jabot run under
• band of ths fabric.
The coat suit on the right is one of the newest of the E gyplian effects. It is made of night blue crepe de chine
with a draped skirt caught snugly around the ankles and put in many gathers at the waist line. The coat is an ad-
mirable model for all the new top wraps that are not used for the street. This sketch shows exactly how they are
made—these new short jackets—with their lack of an arm hole and shoulder seams. The fullness at the hips is gath-
ered into a deej^graded band of Egyptian embroidery in peacock colors. There is a wide hand of this beautiful handi-
work on eiach sleeve. Observe the way in which the ueck is finished; a band of satin ribbon Ib run through wide but-
tonholes mads in the fabric and is tied in a loose bow In front
WILL LARGE HATS RETURN WITH SUMMER?
rjl HE small hat Is so exaggerated that
* one cannot help being reminded of
the fantastlo and diminutive headgear
worn by liddle Toy when he wlshea to
look especially absurd. One Is also pain-
fully and not pleasantly reminded of
those bUleous little iiats perched ou the
heads of women In 1870, when bustles
were worn and tight basques.
So far the small hat has not become
grotesque except In Individual cases, be-
cause It fits the head and rests well down
on the face As long as It continues to do
so It lias Its chance of retaining grace,
and as the coiffure Is becoming aa small
as the skull we are not In danger of a
bandeau and a lifted hat
Tbe only trouble with the small hat as
far aa the fashion has gone la that It
fives soma women the appearance of
trying to be kittenish when they should
be demure. It has so many advantages
that the whole world would lie loath to
Ive It up simply because it ia misplaced
>y a class of women who ran be railed
upon to get every fashion wrong Instead
of right, for they run after what Is new
rather than what Is suitable for their age,
th»tr figures or their environment
The acceptance of the email hat by
tba world of women la attributed to the
hourly UBe of the motor car; milliners
say the comfort of the small hat was
discovered by the inotorlsta and the
knowledge became universal.
IJke every other fashion It rapidly
became ewsentrlo In order to draw at-
tention to 'taelf, and some of the mil-
liners perauaded their clients that a
jilece of a hat waa better than a whole
This did not lower the price, for It
leu t in human reason to ask any ons
who makes clothes these days to take
off >10 because they have aaved fcO
In materials We have gone mad over
new Ideas aud the woman who can give
one to the world can ask her own
price for It. And so, for thla reason,
we an still paying (too In America for
lmportod hats that are little larger
than the hundred dollar bill that goes
for their purchase.
But will this last? How will small
hatH and hot suns go together? Isn't
a brim necessary to protect lite eyes
from the glare of July?
The milliners are very quick to
answer "ves" to all these queatlona, be-
cause th»v believe that It Is time for
them to sell new shapes, it doesn't pay
t« keep the same fcind of hat or gown In
faahloa tea ieeg, and the mainess far
the email ahape haa lasted for a year.
Moreover, women want Uata with
brims us soon as June arrives. They
are willing to wear any of the clever
new hats In the late afternoon for
house affairs, but they want hata that
shade the eyea aa soon aa the sun la
obnoxious.
And so the new ahapea have brims,
and they are placed alongside the other
ahapea that lack them, which means
that bcth kinds are in fashion and
you can choose one or both.
The hats with brims are not ths
flopping atyle of Engllah garden hat
which boba up perennially with each
season over there and Is enchantingly
lovely over an English face; It is a hat
with a shape and stiffened brim that has
Irregular curves so that It will suit
many faces, mid the trimming Is uot
of rosea but of wheat and peacock
feathers and gay ribbons The trim-
ming does not stand up hs it does on the
email shapes, but Is placed flatly on the
brim or carelessly around the crown.
It ta only natural to auppose that pea-
cock feathers will come tn fashion with
the madness for evervthlng Oriental, es-
pecially Egytian, and th« I'efore many of
the must attractive hata have this eje
tl |lutu> aa aa ornament
aud those who are not,
Tbo woman who has social opportuni-
ties should show that she Has them by
keeplug her costumes spsrts and It win
he easy to pick out tbe women who have
no chance to wear elaborate clothes ex-
cept In the public thoroughfares. I think
that next autumn we will aee the begln-
ulug of a vital cleavage between the wo-
man who is sophistocuted aud the wo-
man who Is uuaopbtattcated In dress.
There will be a return on the part of
faatldlous women to the strictest sim-
plicity In street clothes.
If they wish to copy the French then
they can go In wholeheartedly for tha
plain tailored suits during the day, be-
cause the Parlsienue has been quick to
take a leaf out ot tho amortcan drees
book and garb herself with quiet ele-
guuee for her walk lu tbe Bols and her
little breakfast at a public restaurant.
It Is a devout wish of all people who
think rightly about dress that this sar-
torial cleavage betweeu street and house
gowns may come to pase.
The American women ran after false
goods, but It la time tbey should rtturn
to their own admirable creed.
RETURN OK FIGURED MUSLIN.
The womau who la In search of attrac-
tive summer clothes should not fall to
be awure of the revival of old fashioned
colored muslin. We have already had
this In fascinating wash blouses, snd
even the greatest designers have conde-
scended to uae peppermint candy muslin
lu loose waists that sell at (25 apiece
One French dressmaker has designed an
alluring little frock In white muslin with
a tiuy red diamoud on It which Is re-
tailed by Its American Importer for (188.
Neat little price for a little wash frock.
Isn't It? But It showa how fashionable
these colored musllna are. You can go
Into any shop tomorrow and buy one at
a small price, take it home and with tha
aid of a seamstress turn out a very at-
tractive gown that will serve for many a
hot afternoon. Remember that the skirts
of all thin gowns today are gathered le
tha belt and shaped tn at the hem, and
may or may not have an overskirt.
If you wish the gown for morulug make
the blouse with a deep yose, back and
front, that runs across the shoulders and
to which the lower material la gathered
with u seam beadiug or a colored cord;
add a rolling collar of white batiste
edged with luce and finished with three-
quarter sleeves with a batiste cuff, and
there you have your gown!
Wbut a comfort the collarleaa fashion la,
because It allows one to have fewer sum-
mer gowns, as they all serve very much
the same purpose when oue is leading
u comparatively simple life out of a great
city. One can get along well with two
such muslin frocks, a white Bilk voile or
net for afternoon or evening, a low gown
of chiffon and a coat suit of ths thtuneat
kiud of silk or crash.
