GLAcE materials whether silk, foulard,
or. silk and wool fancy stuffs, shot Of two
coiors, certainly have all the, vogue this
summer. We, copy, from very compe-
tent authority in such matters, a list of
the;ten new mixtures OF colors, the most
fashionable for the season. - ~ 4 --..sr
dawn color-azure and maize. rs i,
2.--Sunset-crimson and maize. ..fis
3zLapis lazuli and white. ~. - ! n
4-Doye color-blue and rose color. 81
5.-Am8dis-green and gold.
6-Dove gray and white.
7.-Steel gray and white, for half mourn
S.-Lilac and maize. - h8.it q
9.-Light brown and white-fawn color.
lO.-Pale green and rose color.
These colors are reproduced on mohair
and other materials of the same kind, as
well as on the most beautiful silks. 1,u'
Some of the fancy materials are chined,
aswell 1as shot; some are checked, some
have slanting stripes. Bengale is the new
est material of the present season; it is
clearer and more silky than sultane. Ben
galine is again q different tissue, and is
generally striped of the richest tints,
amongstothers nasturtium color and cerise.
Bengaline is often used for the lower part
of skirts, to wear under self-colored or shot
For be it known, it Is quite a fureur this
summer, IN Paris, to wear striped under
skirts; the material is cut on the cross, for
the bottom of the skirt, so that the lines
appear slanting. This is done in almost all
materials-silk foulard, mohair, grenadine
and even cambria. .& hatst
Nothing is worn but the costume en- suit
this st1mmer, and toilet becomes quite
study fer all, down to the minutest details,
mast be en- rapport with the tout ensemble.
When not of a material of two colors,
the dress is frequently composed of two
different materials. The first skirt is of
one color; the second, shorter, of another
color, is looped up with buttons, or raised
and fastened into graceful draperies with
rosettes, bows, lapels or sashes, in such
complicated fashion as to battle descrip-

Black grenadine dresses are also extreme
ly fashionable over dresses of colored silk,
blue or mauve, or green or cerise; in that
case the wide sash, without which a toilet
would appear incomplete nowadays, is
alwavs Of the same color as the underdress.
Wide ribbon sashes are, in fact, worn this
summer on all occasions, at all ages, and
with all toilets. b Tses5-sIsee4 - ~
We.were almost forgetting to mention a
very beautiful material much in vogue Z
called taffetas Indian, and r;ach worn at
sea-side places especially. Nothing is more
suitable for modern costumes than this taf-
fetas, with its soft, brilliant and almost yel-
vety tints it may be had in all colors. I.
green, blue, violet, mauye, pearl gray, rose
color and white and of all shades of fawn
color. This material does not crumple. and
may even receive q few showers without
being damsge great point this, when
autumn is drawing on. Half mourning
dresses eang be made of taffetas Indian.
Thus, for instance, an under2skirt Of violet,
an upper one of gray taifetas, all trimmed
with ruches.o In white, the taffetas looks
lovely with ruches of the same or of q bright
contrasting color. \ = 2
