VfcN I NEW YORK FASHION LETTER i jtnt-v --;v . . wew&YorK, June ll.Itfio othlotio lElrrlsiribro than' over tho queen ot the sca-ion and duo consideration must i .be paid to her wants In regard to ap- proprlate icpatume. The girl of tho ; day., Is more .or Iosb addicted to golf- Ins, ,lavn tennis, boating and other outdoor spprts and Is cultivating a tasto for. park promenades and cross- - country walks. For each of thoso j henlthful'lllverslons she must bo prop- ; erV clothed and In the ca3o of a wom an prdporly means not so much In conformity with tho practical require ments: than handsomely and effective ly. ' The growing tendency In favdr ol outdoor sports and ofcerclso has done mow 'than anything else to develop . tho possibilities of walking skirts and , suits. There was a time When walk lug, skirts were worn by business women only and oven by them only for pi actlcal. reasons and when, It was absolutely necessary. The walking skirt at that time served only a prac tical purpose and there seemed to be no demand for softening tho severity , of the stiff and simple lines. All that has Caanged. Tho value of the walk- . jng skirt ha3 been more generally . rec6gnlzedt Its practical advantages aro more thoroughly understood and at the' tfnmo time tho women are be- , ginning to appreciate the fact that the. walking skirt may be made dressy . handscmo, attractive and oven lux urious, without tho necessity of cur- ; tailing any of tho aasentlal features which make that kind of skirt so eminently, practical for walking and outdoor sports. Walking fekirts no longer offend tho artistic taste 'by tho ultra plainness nnd sbverlty of their lines, no longer do they confine themselves to tho fulMllmont of a practical duty. In accordance with tho general drift of fashion toward a greater elaboration and ornamentation tho walking skirt hag , developed Into a garment as use ful as ornamental. At tho present day, thoro is scarcely a material used for' any other kind of dress that is not also used, at least to some ox tent, for walking .skirts. Thero was a time when only tho darkost colors or black woro consid ered approptlato for walking suits. That limitation no longer holds good Evon whlto will bo worn for walking bults this senson, especially In sergo and mohair.

For more servlcablo wear medium or dark colors, either plain or In checks or stripes will bo used oxteu- slvely.

Madras and linen, not to forget batlsto and kindred materials, will also bo ex tremely popular. Tho fact that short walking skirts will bo worn a great deal will not bo without Influence upon tho style3 of footwear. That Is perfectly natural. If tho skirts aro short and a display of tho shoes cannot well bo avoided, caro must be taken to make tho foot wear as attractive and neat as possi ble. It would never do to wear a pair of unsightly shoes or slipper with a pretty walking suit. It would cpmplotoly spoil the general effect Patent leather slioes, with the upper part of material corresponding in col or, If not In texture, with tho material of which tho suit Is made, will bo oxtremely fashionable. .Tho stylo will, undoubtedly bd quite becoming to many women nhd add considerable to tho smartness of tho general ef fect, but not every woman will find It advlsablo to follow that fashion. Shoes ot whlto or light-colored ma; terlal may bo very becoming to wom en with small and woll-shaped feet, but women who aro compelled to wear shoes larger than No, 3 should not try tho experiment of wearing light colored shoos. Their feet will look twice as big as they would In black shoes. The shoes to be -worn with walking suits should bo of a substan- tlal character and equipped with stout and serviceable solos. Sllppors do not go woll with such s.ults.

Some of these garments are more elaborate nnd more extrava gantly trimmed with all kinds ol costly materials than a great many gowns and their cost runs into the hundreds of dollars. Thero Is scarce ly any rich and beautiful material used for dress wear that Is not also U3ed for petticoats. Velvets and Jewelled passemonterrles aro prdba bly tho only exceptions. There are petticoats of Bilk and satin, of bro cades, India linens, silk muslins, the most dollcato batl3to, tho thinnest lawns and trimmed with' all kinds of laces and tho most exquisite needle work. Of course, not all petticoats. aro so oxtravlgantly elaborate or ol such costly materials, but It may bo said that oven tho plainer lingerie petticoats of tho present season are far more elaborate than over before, Embroideries and laco Insertions or trlmmlng3 are used, to a great ox- tone. Tho excuse given for this re- markablo Extravagance Is that tho shortness of tho outer skirts now In vogue makes It nocessaryi to pay. more attention to tho appearance of ifin nfitlfTinta nnrl tnmnAlla tYin Tlfnm, on to trim and ornament them more . - lavishly tnan over ueroro. - Li i "' "i f The Knowledge of Having Done a Good Deed is as a Rainbow to the Soul.

Ir most casos tho uppor part of tho petticoats, between tho waist and the knees, Is rathor plain and simple; Tho pottlcoats must fit snugly down to tho knees ,and, for that reason, must not his encumbored. with trim mings that might destroy the tight ness of tho fit. Tho lower part, con sisting of flaring flounces, makes up for tho simplicity of tho upper part Thore tho wearer's fancy and extrav agance may run riot, Some of tho pottlcoat3 aro so arranged that the lower part .Is attached, to tho uppejr J part by moans of. hooks or buttons . and can be taken off and exchanged for anothor lower part It is qultq remarkablo that the war in tho Far East has nqt Influenced fashion this year more than It lias, Whether It is lack of Interest In tho war, because this country Is not di rectly Interested In tho fight, or somo other reason, It, would be difficult to decide, but tho fact remains thnt while In former years ovory war caused a perfect wavo of military stylos to sweep through the realm of feminine fashions, tho present was, has scarcely caused a ripple. It Is true, a mild Interest In military styles of coats and dross trimmings has been revived, but that Is about all, excepting poriinps two novelties In hats, that may bo attributed to tho war. Thoro nro two now stylos In rough -strawfl, called gunboats nnd torpedoe. Howevor, these hat, not withstanding their warlike names, scarcely suggest any military stylo and aro not oven original enough to' bo odd. The handsomest of these hats have trimmings of narrow velvet and steel buckles. Somo of them arq shaped of tullo and ribbons and aro decorated with a paradise plumo In front or on tho loft side.
