FASHIONS FOR AUGUST
The town has lost all it's attractions; we be-
gin to sigh for the seaside and the country. Tins
the toilets suitable for these places have the great
est interest ct this season of the year. Polls de
chevre, alpacas, and cuttings are used in simple
toilets; but they are not wanting in elegance
For those who wish for something more dressv
than aiPsca, tousrd may be substituted; or what

ored handsome ruches. With these dresses the
L0uave jacket is worn, trimmed 10 match, with

There ls nothipg very novel in the make of
crosses this month. The robe Beatrix is perhaps
the Avorite, and certainly deserves to be So as it
gives height to the figure and snallness to the
waist 1t has only hounce at the bottom of the
skirt; but this tllunce is put on according to fan
cy, often raised at the sides and forming train
behind. In Ia Iatana and Cambrav gauzc this dress
is charming for evening dress.
Seaside dress should be more remark able for ee-
gance than richness; therefore, tue and Grape are
generally considered out of place We must. how
ever, make exceptions TO this rule as at some of
our fashionable Watering places dress is carried to
Z complete rivalry.

The GUNNER paIotot, made Of p material with
silk face, Is very suitable for this season. more
especially for the country or for travelling. 1t is
both light and warm, and is made so that it NAV
be either crossed over the chest turned back in
reverse.
The shawls, trimmed round with lace are made
of violet hrawn, deep blue; but stiIi oftaner of
white or black grenedine or cashmere.
The burnous summer cape (in shape very
much the same as the cardinal cape Worn some
years sinco), is sometimes preferred to the psletot
especially with fresh, light dress as being less
liable to crush. They are generally made of drab,
colored or black material, though often of the
same material as the dress. For the evening,
white cashmere burnOus with satin stripes is fash
iunable.
There is very stylish redngote, made for tra-
yelling dress, Of Indian foulaFd, raw silk. The

inches in depth, put in hollow plaits, with
heading bordered with black and o7namented bv a
button placed on each plait. This toilette is COM

piped to match. This casaque is opened little in
'front.' and has a turned back collar and narrow
revers of black tafietas. The sleeves are half
large, with black trimmings. The dress sleeve is,
of course, made tight.
The Amazon hat is now worn in Paris, rs well
as the country; but care should be taken with the
rest Of the dress, and the casaque or paletot looks
always the best with this sty ls of hat.
The Finland hat is very fashionable lust nnw
The brim of this hat falls little to shade the eyes,
with bouquet Of flowers quite at the edge so that
it gives the Impression of falling; but it must
be left 50, as that isreay one charm in this grace
ful head dress
The Tudor hat, edged with velvet, and trimmed
with long curled feather on the side and pompOn
in front, is also very fashionable, and exceedingly
becoming to most faces.
But our modistes have not been unmindful Of
those who still prefer bonnes, and great taste is
displayed with regard to them For example,
rice straw bonnet with soft OF tulle. BIoude
curtain over mahve silk. The front lined with
mauve, aud at the side rosette Of blonde, from
which falls bunch Of mauVe flowers. Another
smaller bunch of the same flowers inside the bon
net on the opposite side.
Black crinoline is also worn. An elegant one
trimmed with black ribbon, embroidered il
MAIZE and trimmed with bouquet of geraniums
and exotic fruits.
Orange blossoms, for bridal wreaths seems likely
to be superseded by white lilac, which is far
elegant and becoming flower, and can be arranged
with more grace.
