SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, -1903. . .. : : beantlful are the shades of brown, in cluding biscuit and ponce tones. , - There Is a new fad In Jewelry this season that bids fair to be quit popu lar. The studs and sleeve links must not b the only , things to match, but thr are Utti finder rings exactly the aam. These sets will be worn with morning- frocks and the rings will b placed on no other than the little finger.

One noticeable thing about this summer's fashion ia th tendency away from the dead whit of the past two seasons. Nattier oiue, Copenhagen, cerise and th new ahadea of red. which, ar variously named dah- 11a, cyclamen, coral and "alia, ar much worn. There Is a marked tend ency to follow the lead of nature In the new -coloring. una n " "w "kt proved. Hyacinth blue, aloes green and cyclamen pink ar certainly more at- tractive than some of th strange names which have been Invented ror new coi ' ors. such as elephant's breath, which mHm nmnina- u iu. - - ... v The dyed-to-match laces are the most noticeable feature of th newer gowns. It is a useful fancy for th economlc ally inclined, as well as ior tne uiira fashlonable, for while the latter has merelv her own last to consult and hiinrinnt onnortunitles for testing it. the former is able by dint of good man agement to put together a littl of this and a little of that and produce quite as good aa effect. - Th dyeing is not beyond the powers of any one who Is inclined ; to take th trouble, and the harmony of color In contrasting mate rials la on 01 tna prettiest moae. The Rose Festival has brought out some charming gowns, and one who cam from a larger place than Portland was nearo to exciaim: now mucu iui women dress In Portland!" whether It was cl r oriiELiiu suwn vr iiui, ui attracted attention for its simplicity and its daintiness was of a charming ' blue. oerhaos the eau d nil. would nam it. It was most Ilk an aqua-marine , with Ha suggestion of green. The Do dice was cut wltjt a deep Dutch neck and the long armhole, or cap sleeve, both of which were bordered by a band 'about two inches wide of Irish crochet j lace dyed to - match. - Th - lnnr yoke i ana long sieevea were ox nner. taco, probably a Valenciennes, also dyed to i match the gown. There was a wide girdle with drooping ends which were : taaseled. With It was worn a hat In natural-toned straw, faced with satin of the shade of the gown and set oil by drooping ostrich plumes of black. It win not an elaborate dree. iuLJt was very fetching. . - , , ". While many of us may not - wear quite so elaborate gowns, we may all be put- together correctly, and this moves one to remark that it is more noticeable than ever and less pardon able, to see a ara ping placquet or a shirtwaist and akirt which ar not on aneaklna terms. Really when buttons and buttonholes ara so cheap, It la bard to see how any one who can scrape up a nickel for these commodities can be '..forgiven . for ..coming -apart,;":' vi---'-"-- - Shirtwaists should be strengthened at the waist Una in the back by a piece of tape, and three buttona can be sown to this with good strong- thread. But tonholes to match may be worked in th akirt band and the two ao nrmiy at tached that ther Is no possibility of escape.';. Besides the feeling of security that is given by being beyond criticism In this respect, there ia the fact of be lng unnoticeable in publio which Is the am qua non or tne correct woman. : The 'platted skirts which have been so satisfactory are slowly being left behind In the search for novelty. . They will still be worn, however, for the tailored street suit, and, no better mode has been auggested. -;. Certainly the slinking mummy fled gown which is set ting the east at odds will be lost in the shuffle before it gets over the Rockies. I hav given some space this week to a discussion of the bizarre output of the French shops which startled . Paris at the race course. Much can be made, of .a little by many repetitions, and no ooiiDi tnese mucn tamed oi gowns are worse in the recital than in appearance. Yet they must have been ugly, to say the least, and an ugly dress has no ex cuse for Its being in this enlightened age. It is'scarcely worth talking about except that it snows tne length to wnicn the fashionable dressmakers will ' go In Ifiat. Aa,nh ' rw V4i tilnh shall call attention to themselves aa the designer. It ia a. wonder that their patrons will consent to.be made a tool for this purpose, but the whirl of fash ion allows no time for reflection. The fact that it is called the "sheath." akirt and' the "scabbard" skirt damns it for reasonable and -. modest : womanhood. Better, far better, the Roman toga or . the Grecian gown of sweeping draperies and jeweled girdle. These represent a mode which, if not uniformly becoming, recommends itself a modestly conceal ing instead of attempting; to be Inde cent In its revealment Those Dlrectolre Gowns. CURIOSITY has spread. In all the dressmaking shops of Paris today they ar talking about dlrectolre styles, where they should be worn and jwbers not worn, whether they can be adopted to any one not possessing the physical perfection of the professional model, : Som of the leadina- dressmak ers in Paris ar nncttlvj. that fba atvla is destined to have a long run. Others equauy prominent, are equally positive that the thing is Impossible, and that the atractMre nrt- will nu h. bmw. thing but eccentric, if not positively risque.-: This is the opinion' of M. V If I 11. -. -"Never, never, never," cried M. Worth, to the New York Times corre spondent who asked him if he were the rulltv creatnr nf th r... , v, . . ti acted attention at Iongchamps.

We couldn't dream of making such things. Per sonally I don't think them in good taste. I don't think that any lady would undertake to appear in such garb, least of all In such a public place as Long champs. No, we haven't made a dlrec tolre areas ror 40 years.- That was made by my father at the very earnest solicitation and much against hie will or a certain very beautiful Russian woman. - She wor the robe only once, 8h had en Invited to a soiree at th ministry of foreign affairs. She was stopped at the door. That finished her fondness for the dlrectolre. It also decided us never again to execute such n order, not even under pressure." Mme. Pa a u In. who Is another arrest authority on what women of fashion may wear, also assured the correspond ent that the dlrectolre style was quit impossible. . "As for what I am doing you may see for yourself." she added amiably., At a signal a lithe young "mannequin" passed into the room with i tne air or a duchess, sne was wearing a closely fitting gown - that concealed notning or ner cnarms ana yet migm have been worn in church during Lent, ureases may oe tigat titling : -coiian- tea,' " explained the great authority, without being suggestive. As for In 9 dlrectolre dress with the split skirt, I realty do not believe it can ever d worn by any one, except possibly an ac tress on the stage, and then her tastes would have to he somewhat eccentric." Dreeoll. Ducet. . the rue de la Pali generally, seemed to be just as severe in nassinr iudament on the dlrectolre as had Worth and Paquin. There was a change of note In the establishment directed bv Mme. Margalno-Lacrolx. li was Mme. Liacroix wno lea the way in settina -the stvle - for the d resent scabbard form of attire. "I have been patiently at work for years," she said, ''educating tna public to a finer appre-i dlrectolre fashion ' than It la of crino line.. .' ' 'I " :-. t ' M. Landolff, who dresses In charming fashion ' many of the most attractive actresses on the French stage, says that any style which seta off or enhances the natural charms of a woman is te be welcomed. He is a disciple, or varni. "Tweaty-flve yeara ago we be gan to clothe our customer in clinging stuffs that showed off the lines snd movements of the wearer. That consti tutes good dressing. I can hardly be lieve, thnusrh. that the dlrectolre style or having tne skirt open at tne siae win ever be adopted by women of fashion. If b surmise Is true, the styl Is con demned in advance." ' - Mile. Sorel, generally admitted to be one of the best dressed women in Paris, Is utterly opposed to the dl rectolre or scabbard dress- for publio placea "It Is only possible " she says. in.- ones own no me, . in tna presence of a little circle of privileged friends. Of course,' such a. dress can be worn with perfect propriety on" the stage also, for then there Is no scanning of . de tails. The general effect ia all that is noticed, and the effct is harmonious. - Fads and Fancies. EW YORK, May 80. June Is her again, the month for weddings, and- which la thought by many to be the prettiest time of the year. 'The styles In bridal gowns hav not changed much sine the April weddings. Satin of the soft, supple variety called satin ondoyant or satin antique la still chosen by this year's bride.

Now that the style has really come to stay, no amount of crit icism can check It. The dlrectolre form wlth the split skirt is not the style of Bylphide or scabbard dress. Let me show you." She spoke a few words to an attend ant A minute later a young woman, fair, beautifully coif fed, slim and wil lowy, entered, wearing one of the very gowns that had attracted so much at tention yesterday at Longchamps. It was beautifully molded to her body, from the breast down. One could al most believe that the dress was the sole garment that adorned her shapely person. There was certainly no room for frills or frou-frou, for lingerie of any kind. Her tread was as silent and lithe aa a panther's, he paused In front of us, then slow ly turned. On the right side the skirt was split to the waist line, caught to- frether loosely with ornamental but ons down as far as the knee. From the knee down the skirt was open. Be neath could be seen a silken underskirt, absolutely plain and clinging a tightly to the person of the wearer as, say. paper does to the walL . ( '"The dress is absolutely simple," said Madame. "'Therein lies its chief beau ty. ' Both It and the wearer must be perfectly made.. Only two garments cover the body. There Is first a tight, elaetlo silk jersey, to which is attached the aoft. clinging Tinderskirt, which is visible at the side. The stockings ar attached to hooks in the skirt placed at the proper height. This dispenses with bothersome garters and holds the under garment in place. The outer garment, the robe. Is made to serve as its own corset, the bodice being strengthened with a little whalebone., not enough, however, to destroy its suppleness. As a matter of fact, the place of the corset la taken by the jersey, which is knitted strong and tight It extends from th breast down almost to the knees." "And ia there really a great demand for such attire?" - ' . Madame . smiled ' radiantly. "Could anything more beautiful be- Imagined?" "But every one is pot built like your mannequins." z -:. 'i ; : . -.- "They need not b dlrectolre, they can be Greek," v , r As a matter of fact, Mme. Margalne Lacroix aays that the dresses now at tracting attention are more Greek than they are dlrectolre. . They were orig in&llv cooled on the beautifully draned figurines of Tanagra, so well known to all art lovers. The original dress In this style was exhibited as long ago as 1889, and nas naa more or less ex tensive vogue among ; the elect ever since, .' . Artists and artistes bav alwavs been divided on .th- question of its merits. Boldlni, who probably paints the por traits of more women of fashion than any other artist In Paris, says that the value or any given atyie, irom an artis tic point of view, is equal to the value of the woman who wears It Thla Is truer, he admits, of the scabbard or quislte wedding gown was made of heavy satin In plain, almost severe lines, but It depended entirely upon some very costly lace aa Its adnrnmnt A perfect model for a bridal gown waa seen In white satin ondoyant and em- urumerea in wmte noss. it was cut In princess style, semi-fitting to give the hlpless effect and It seemed to hang from the shoulders where were bretelle "Km.ioni outlined with seed pearls. The deep yoke was of prince filet lace and was edged with a band of embroid ered satin. The under bodice and sleeves were of embroidered white chiffon. The stock collar of medium height was bound with satin. The train was cut Jhm.nrm Aii "houlders. Another charming model was made of fine white Brussels net cut In empire style and and llwHl7 fbrolderef i floss silk and silver. It was worn over a flfted Pncess slip of white messaiine. A wide bertha of embroidered net e tended over the shoulders and I formed a watteau train in the back.
