Midsummer Coat of Heavy Cotton Cloth

Tho weavers of cotton cloths have
become- expert In making fabrics much
like the heavier weaves of wool In ap
pearance, as well as some novelties,
that appear only In cotton. These
heavy weaves, Including cotton cordu
roy and corded materials, are also
shown In basket weaves. They aro
all used for the popular sport skirts
and summer coats that aro featured
bo strongly for street and outing wear.
All of a sudden cretonnes have sprung
Into use In the making of apparel. Gay
ly flowered and quaintly figured cre
tonnes are used to make bright morn
ing dresses and are called "garden"
dresses. Floppy-brimmed hats or
beach bonnets (which are sunbonnets
parading under a new name) are worn
with thorn and made of the same
cretonne.
Ono of tho beat Inodels for a coat
of cotton corduroy, corded cloth, or
fancy weaves In cotton, is shown In
tho picture given here. Like a few of
tho heavy linen weaves, It Is unmus
eable. For decoration it depends
upon machine stitching and buttons
mado by covering button moldB with
the fabric. It is cut along the same
linos as popular sport coats of wool,
with high, convertible collar, big pock
Ostriqh Boa In Enthusiastic Revival
The ostrich boa has met with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic rovlval
of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds of fluffy and
airy neckwear. The unusually cool
weather of spring has mado some sort
f protection almost a necessity, and
there Is no denying the becomlngncss
of soft feathers about the throat..
White fox, red fox and light gray or
(an fur neckpieces one sees with the
most summery of white turbans and
flower-trimmed hats. This vogue is
probably a reflection from the west
ern coast, for visitors to tho Panama
exposition have found the weather
cool and everyone Indulging In the
San Francisco privilege of wearing
fura with summer gowns.
The feather bou of today Is short
as to length, long as to fiber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally a
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about tho throat la seen, but
not often. They all fasten with bows
of soft mcssaltno ribbon, apparently,
or tho exception Is so rare as to
provo the rule.
Very smart sets consisting of boa
nnd ostrich-trimmed liatn are shown,
and there aro great numbers of cock
rdor, fenn, nnd other fanciful orna

or blue or brown arc commanding
much attention. They are straight
hanging garments with tho fullness
taken up by old-fashioned "smocking'
nt tho neck find nt the ends of tho
sleeves. Cretonnes in small figures aro
used for the collar and cuffs and are
chosen in strong color contrasts. Tho
white smocks aro prettiest, but those
in light brown are equally smart. They
are the something new in outer gar
ments that women are all ready to
welcome.
Poke Bonnets.
Adorable poke bonnets In tho same
pretty coloring show to advantage
aton blonde curls, for, unlike our
American kiddies, the bobbed hair ef
feet is not being worn on tho other
side of tho water. Tho little girls all
have their hair long" and fiowlng over
their shoulders and of course it curls
whether naturolle or a la klde or
poker. The British boy, no matter
how tiny, spurns the bobbed effect
also, and rears a close-cropped llttlo
bullet head proudly to the infantile
fashionable world.
Three boas are nhown here, one In
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of tho feathers, and the
third In black tipped with white. In
the last the white lluo is tied or pasted
on to tho colored Hue, and there Is
an endless variety In combinations to
choose from in boas mado In this wny.
But tho boa may bo had now In nny
color, even tho most unusual new tints
and shades.
It Is to be remembered that a bit oi
rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here a white fabric hat la
shown trimmed with a pattern applied
in small black beads about tho brim
edge. It Iiub a collar of white ribbon
with small squares of embroidery in
black, ami a white rose is mounted
near the edge of tho front brlrn. The
second bead-trimmed hat shows a re
versal of color; white beads are ap
plied to a black hemp shape with fao
ing of white crape.
