WHAT THE INSPECTORS SEE Women Who jffeet the Incoming Llnera Get Best' Ideaa ol Fashion. No women have a better Idea of fash Ions than the Hspectore who meet tho In coming liners from across the water or look over the baggage on arrival at the pier.' Quite unconsciously they Imbibe points on what la being worn, what colors are fashionable and what the latest cut in clothes generally la ' For all of the smart folk from thla ooun try are constantly going and coming, and there are prominent women from Eng land and France who visit here a great deal. Last but not least there are the actresses, who go over every summer to stock up with new .and wonderful ward robes. One of the customs Inspectors aald the other day: "It la funny how the slie of hats has changed since the beginning of tha sea son. At first you saw nothing but those huge mushroom top pieces that literally made a woman look like a fly under a cab bage leaf. Now,' however, they have grown more normal In else and ara a deal pret tier to my fancy. The shape Is much the same, but the moderate siaed chapeaus art the most popular. ''Then for a time everything was royal purple. Gowns, hats, WTaps. gloves, every thing was In this shade. Now you scarcely aee a purple gown of any description. Everything Is London smoke. Hats, gowns, veils, gloves and wraps are made up In this soft, delicate and generally becoming shade. "Actresses, of course, always come . out In some stunning costume when they land. Most of them this year wear white eoa tumes throughout. MaxJne Elliott, bow ever, varied the monotony by appearing In a charming blue broadcloth costume with a bluev hat and long trailing blue plume. She looked like a dream. Mrs. Corey Mabelle GUman wore white broad cloth, white hat, plume, eta. "Then In the way of street gowns there la Just now a lot of mulberry red, which is extremely pretty and 'becoming to al most every woman. Braided In black with a touch of gilt, tha French costumes brought over are decidedly atunnlng. It Is. I believe, the only thing seen in Pari today, at leaat the nawest thing.
