FASHIONS FOR JULY.

FASHIONS FOR JULY. Es
We take the following paper on the fash
ions from Den,orest's Monthly. Our lady
readers will find it very complete: ~s
What narrow skirts, and what a sweep
OF trainl Scarls tied .as sashes halfway
down the side of the long, trailing skirts,
chains and beads festooned about the
narrow hips, and over the straight severi-
ty of the dress; hair massed in curls on the
top of the head, a stray one only hanging
here and there back of the ears; beads or
chains about the neck and head; long, loose
sleeves, displaying white, rounded arms
and rich bracelets; these are the points that
first strike one on seeing the gorgeous,
glittering throng.
There are some, however, whose taste
has made their toilets as fresh and charm
ing as June morning. One of these Ia
dies wears lilac silk dress dotted with
white, white lace barbe, and some deli
cate lilac flowers in her hair, and pearl or
naments, brooch earrings, and bracelet.
Her dress is trimmed with plain lilac
bands, corded with white satin. r "a
Large black and white lace shawls and
burnoose are very much worn, now that
the warm weather has fairly commenced,
over rich toilets. Short silk sacs, basquines,
and peplums are not elegant over very
long gored and trained dresses, and, it be-
shawls, lace is brought into requisition.
They are, however, somewhat expensive;
the lowest price for even llama lace
shawl or cloak is forty or fifty dollars, and
from this the cost ranges all the way up to
two thousand.
A handsome lace shawl or cloak is, how
ever, considered Indispensable to lady's
wardrobe, and is really useful in thousand
ways. ~ sE5
+ 6na of tba orroaf foaturos of tho coacon is
the rich silk and jet embroidery lavished
upon costly silk cloaks and dresses. Mag
nificent toilets of black gros grains are lit
orally covered with embroidery, and many
are wrought in exquisite designs upon the
seams, or so as to describe sashes or pointed
basques upon the skirt, in addition to the
border round the bottom. This embroidery
is executed by hand. and gives an infinity
of labor to the completion of one handsome
toilet. -lrfs'
The new style of round hats consists
simply of crown, descending slightly to-
ward the outer edge, but without other in
dication of a brim. They are very pretty
and very useless; but as that has been the
case for long time with bonnets, we need
not grumble at the disease spreading to
round hats.
Short suit of very delicate chene silk,
trimmed with bands of white silk corded
with black, and covered with a network
insertion of black silk and jet. The short
skirt is rounded up on the sides, and this
trimming forms bands extending from the
waist, as we'll as border round the bottom.
Instead of peplum, mantle accompanies
the dress. rounded at the back, the ends
rounded in front, and trimmed to match
the dress.
EVENING DRESS of fmaroon-colored gauze,
starred with silver, the tunic skirt looped
up with silver wheat-ears, which are re-
tod olc no
straight, open sleeves; wreath of silver
leaves. --r
DINNER DRESS ofrich blue silk, brocsded
in silver. White lace shawl, and ornaments
ofsilver filagree, including earrings, neck
lace, and head-dress. jEr
DINNER AND EVENING DRESS of black
tulle, spotted with gold. Tunic looped up
at the sides with gold chains; gold chains
festooned as q girdle, and worn also on
the top of the head, descending as neck
lace
VISITING DRESS of rich blue gros grain,
trimmed with cross-cut folds of blue satin,
nailed down with pearl buttons. Blue
crepe bonnet edged with long pear-shaped
pearl drops, white uiolette, and white llama
lace shawl.
MORNING DRESS of white Swiss muslin,
the skirt made with deep flounce, headed
with cluny insertion, placed over blue rib
worn over pretty corset cover, and trim
med with insertion, and ribbon to match
the skirt.
If any change has taken place in bon
nets, it is only that they have become small
Ter than ever. The Fanchon has been
restored to favor, and is made in tulle and
Grape for visiting and full dress bonnets,
and, even in straw, although we must con-
fess that, to our taste, the ,low-crowned
Bergere hat with a brim, even if it be
narrow, is better suited to TegLige style.
The very latest novelty in bonnets is
known as the "Dubarry there is nothing
special about the shape, excepting that it
Grape, and often in fine italian straw. 1t
is held upon the head by an elastic; the
strings, which are always highly ornamen-
tai, crossing upon the chest, not under the
chin, where they are fastened by rosette
of lace, by a rose, or some pretty orna-
ment.
A very pretty bonnet of this kind is
edged with a wreath of leaves, and small,
dropping crimson fuchsias set upon a
pointed blonde. At the back there is a sin
gle bow, with very long ends of narrow
black velvet, crossed with gold stripes the
strings are of the same, edged with wide
blonde on both sides, and cross upon the
chest, where they are fastened with ro-
settle of blonde, with two or three fuchsias
in the center. ...
Another bonnet of this kind is made Of
tulle, full not puffed, and edged all around
with wild roses which fall in sprays at the
back. The strings are formed of wide lap
pets of white tulle, crossed in front, and
fastened with a rose in its leaves.
A very new and pretty Fanchon has
narrow, turned-up brim. In rice straw it
is fresh and charming, trimmed with a
bunch of field flowers and ''gardinere''
ribbon; that is, white ribbon, delicately
striped in colors. .5"
A round bonnet of white Grape is prettily
trimmed. with wreath of blue forget-me-
nots, filled in at the back with bow, and
long ends of China blue velvet. Bandeau
of blue, velvet, with pearl drops suspended
from the upper edge, and narrow strings of
blue watered ribbon, over which lace lap
pets are tied. = NIX gEEa-E A.rE
