rlilny of gowns. dresses, materials
and trimmings fur the coming summer
navr awakened no end of Interest, the
Hiowlnu comprlnlnr muny superb costumes.
The model shown In the majority of win
dows are, of course. In most caws much
too radical for the American woman, but
style doKlpned on simpler lines are meet
Inn with great approval from all, as well
as the Juna brides.
The points that stniid out definitely as
"different" this season are the general
catholicity of the length of Jackets, the
returning of the slender silhouette figure,
the use of double-faced fabrics, the re
verse side being used for trimming effects;
the prevalence of heavy llulgarlan trim
mings on all thin gowns, the use of glace
taffeta instead of satin In dressmaking,
the use of surah and the small amount of
pongee this summer, much lace, two and
three kinds on a gown and put on differ
ent places on the dress, use of charmeuse
and marquisette and messallne, return to
favor of braiding, neatness and simplicity
in mnn-tallored suitings. transparent
gulmpes in many dresses and the popu
lurlty of collarlcss bodices.
No particular period of dress prevails
and really the women this year have their
cnoice or tne styles of the ages. Oriental
! and French models are both popular, and
i with them in eo.ua! favor for general use
I is the tailored suit with the eton Jacket.
Callot favors Louis XIV. as Is shown in
his designs, using fichu effects and flat
panler draperies. Paquln has many dra
peries, but his idea is to have them trans
parent and collitnt. 1'ulret Is strongly ori
ental and Indeed the far east Is contrib
uting more to the style than the French
periods. In the eton Jackets only young
and slender women are advised to use the
shorter cuts, below the hip being the
model of the greater popularity.
Variety paraan Designs .
('allot, I'auin, Drecoll, Polret, Bernard,
JIavet. Rondeau. Cherult. Becnoff David!
Ioucet. Heer, Worth, Martial, Armand
and Francis have all gowns of distinctive
caliber for the summer wear, and, of
course, the Amerlcan-made-ready-to-wear
dresses follow somewhat closely the lines
proposed by these designers. Paris styles
are generally of the Louis XIV, the use
of lace frills and wide revers being a new
and pleasing feature.
A general tendency In gowns Is to have
them longer and In many cases a train of
from twelve to fifteen, Inches long is the
style. The train is usually of the center
pointed kind. Color is varied, but gener
ally plainer than In previous years, a
strong leaning to black and white mark
ings being found. Touches of the brilliant
cerise, emerald green, and Helen pink are
stylish trimming, and In the light, fllmV
dance and evening gowns many colored
effects promise popular attraction.
In the tailored suits the coat Is the per
plexing problem. The new suit coat is
short In the back and a decided cut-away,
the type described being given the prefer
ence over the bolero style by the Paris
fancier. Skirts are narrow, but not of
the hobble, the two-yard skirt being pop
ular. The general effect in building a skirt, as
one dealer described It, is to do away with
any Idea of a tlounce effect. Suitings must
be straight up and down, preserving slen-
derness. Slmplenees of cut la the ldea.1
with trimming put on rather than built
in.
Freedom of motion ts essential tn any of
the dresses of popularity this year. Tail
ored suits are naturally built to allow this,
and except the formal party gown It will
be necessary In all other dresses. Even
In the formal gown motion Is bowed to In
all dressmaking.
One Piece Gowns la Ftoror.
The volume of business this year will
undoubtedly be done In the medium priced
one piece summer gowns. Black messaltne)
is the thing in some dresses, and the party
gown of messollne with chiffons for drap
ing and bringing out harmonising and con
trasting shades are especially good. Wide
bands distinguish themselves on all dresses,
the band being of silk around the belt and
often openwork and bead work In the waist
of the dress. Filet and Venlse lace for
belt and decorative purposes, combined
with hand embroidery on almost every
kind of model, seem to hold their place
with persistency.
A new touch In the gowns Is the tunic,
cut plain across the front and slashed
across the back, displaying the messaltne
1 foundation of a fllrqy dress combination.
Few of the tunics have straight lines about
he bottom, but are either pointed at each
side, curling up towards the front or back,
or are cut pointed In the back and follow
ing the line of the train.
Sleeves on the dressy gown are still cut-in-one
with the bodice and are Invariably
1 of elbow length. A band of trimming or a
; three or four In ouff of a contrasting ma
I teiial Is a nice finish for the gown sleeve.
1 On the tailored coat the sleeve ts exactly
' the counterpart of the man's coat sleeve.
, Cut from the shoulder, general lines, and
l ouff finish are as near the man's coat
; cut possible.
The peasant bodice, holds Its place al
though relieved of some of Its simplicity
by tut clever designs) of the period. The
American women cllaga to the open neck,
many of the dressed of the more simple
cat, having the Dutch square neck,
Yoke Are Kuraw,
1 The surplice bdoioe, crossed in hack and
i Just meeting in front at the girdle. Is seen
on many evening frocks. A narrow band of
trimming and the tunio are used on the J
gown of this type. Bodice and elbow
, sleeves are cut In one and the waist Is gath- !
; ered Into a collarless yoke. This yoke Is
: narrow in front and wide In back, extend-
ing out broad over the shoulders, ending
in Mjuii iuw tn vttuu nwvo. i no yose
does not quite meet In the center at the
front.
"Jupe culotte," the harem skirt, has
aroused more Interest than any other dress
of the modern time. It will awaken inter
est among the public whether or not It Is
worn, and many a dealer declares that they
will be worn tn the modified form this
summer. The Turkish trousers are popu
lar as are the old-fashioned bloomer for
summer wear.
For wear In general usage and not in
party and formal dances, the one-piece em
pire gown holds Its place well. They are
made of all kinds of cloth, muslin, linen,
chiffon with messallne backing, and other
cool dress effects. '
Suits of linen for wear at summer hotels
and resorts have Jumped Into favor with a
bound. Instead of the old stiff linen suit
this year's model Is a soft linen that la
hard to wrinkle. Copenhagen blue Is most
popular with this dress. The suit consists
of a heavy but coarse linen skirt and coat.
Shirtwaist of attractive design may be
worn with the skirt and the coat left off
In the hotter part of the day.
tilngham with a sailor collar Is another of ,
the dresses in popular use for the sum
mer girl and her activities. Young matrons
are alsa wearing these, as well a the neat
shirtwaist with the handkerchief collar
with hand embroidery. One of the near
freaks In this shirtwaist Is tho all hand
kerchief waist. Pallor suits for use where
I sailing and boating will be the sports are.

are employing the sailor suit for tennis
use nowadays.
nt Walats In Demand.
The new styles of tailored stiitu call for
two styles of waiMts. The first Is a dressy
tpe that accords with the skirt worn and
the second a waist that Is the resl summer
model of white marquisette or voile with a
touch of embroidery.
The dressy waists consist of the veiled
models of thin goods, and the over blouse.
Bands of eyelet embroidery chiffon, make
next decorative features, and the openwork
waist caning lor pretty corsage covers
are In use.
For the waists themselves the colors are
of dark blue, brown and violet, black and
some tns und cinnamons. The side frill
Is not as much used In tho west as In- the
east, a mull or net trimmed with lace be
ing the general style.
Stocks of white waists consist almost ex
clusively of marquisette and voile, with
.much embroidery. One color, several shades
of one color, and the combination of col
ors known as Bulgarian embroidery are the
colors used. AValst sleeves are of some
length below the elbow, and the demand
is concentrating upon the three-quarter
length.
The bride of course would need four or
five fancy gowns of party design fur hei
summer season. Card parties, receptions,
dances, and private parties, are attended
by her and a suitable gown 1b needed for
each. The price, and Indeed the num
ber of the bride's dresses, are of necessity
controlled by the extent of her purse.
A traveling suit, and a long' traveling
coat of plain cut are necessary, a mannish
style bVlng suggested in the suit. Added
to this, a suit for general afternoon wear,
such as the blue serge suit described above
is most handy to the young bride, for wear
in a hotel or resort, and a white serge
dressy suit is never amiss. Afternoon
wear Is amply covered In many places by
a nice suit.
Waists are necessary to the bride very
much so. Hand embroidered waists for
fancy wear, with a neat skirt are nice, and
the more plain designs can also be used.
Opestwork white, messallne, and colored
models are all In style for the young
bride. For the bride who is lucky enough
to be able, to motor the waist Is of extra
value because If the weather Is dusty It
can be readily changed.

The first activities at the Coliseum by
the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben for the enter
tainment and edification i f guests from
afar, with the exception of the makeshift
imitation put on for the boiler makers, wlil
be held on June 12. On that date James
Wilson, secretary of ngrlculturc, together
with l."0 members of the service of the
bureau of animal Industry will be Initiated.
"The Qymkana," the year's Initiatory
show. Is now under development hy Ous
Heme, engineer general of the affairs at
the Coliseum. Many members of the former
casts will have parts In the new show.
The program contains much that Is new
and striking. The athletic features of "The
Oymkana" arc more than interesting in
the words of those who have experienced
them.
The Coliseum Is undergoing rapid trans
formation. The exterior is to be covered
with a layer of concrete plaster, while
the Interior has been subjected to many
modifications. The exterior of the Colis
eum is to be finished in Spanish mission
style. The Coliseum will be the home of
the Land-Products show to be held by The
Dee Publishing company this fall.
The first sest-lon of the knights was held
for the entertainment of the visitors in
Omaha In attendance at the national con
vention of boiler makers. The sketchy out
lines of the annual Initiatory farce were
tried on the visitors with rare effect
The plans for the annual parade of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben are now under
formation In the mind and drawing of Guv.
Renze. The parade is to embody some dis
tinct new features and will probably par
take of something of the-natnre of a his
torical pageant.
