Dresses of printed cambria, jaconet and
organdy, for morning toilets, are made
without any train, the skirts only Just
touching the ground. They are generally
trimmed with one deep gathered flounce,
put on with aheading.
Muslin and gauze dresses are made with
fchus or mantelets of the same material,
and the same fashion win hold through the
autumn with dresses of fancy or silk ma
terial.
We see large number of dresses of
white cambria with small patterns, such as
Maltese crosses, flowers. dots or fine stripes,
composed OF the skirt just touching the
ground, the bodice to match, and a large
-pelerine, also of the same cambria, trimmed
all round with fiuted quilting. Other
dresses are made of white or bu1f-colored
,pique, embroidered with large spots in
black or red wool. The pattern Stimulates
a second skirt. The mantelet, of the same
material, is embroidered in the same style.

Even for ladies, hats are so small that
they have but little trimming; for young
ladies especially, hats have frequently no
ornament beyond cord of straw gimp, and
a scarf of plain tulle or sgauze, the centre
part of which is plated in front under
brooch, sor some insect such as . blue
bottle or eockehafer in brilliant metal, or
again under bunch of flowers, the ends
of the scarf fall at the back in lapels of
