ease. cloth waist, corresponding in
shade to one of the stripes of the
skirt, is very becoming, and generally
wosnwith facings, ornamented by small,
budHht-colored fancy buttons. A linen
sailor collar, with stripes, a black or
brown hat of English straw, entirely
covered by long vail of blue or brown
erzpe, makes the costume complete.
Ror afternoon dresses the preference is
9lven to black or vari-colored grena-
dime. 1t is worn in the form of q tu-
ME- making pa'tier over foulard, or
very Eght-colored taffetta dresses, and
the small light colored waist is cut
ssFlsTe and very low. For Fall cos
thames unicolored and plush or cloth is
employed, and the pdnies' style more
Than ever used for them, which shows
that this will be the favorite style for
tie coming Winter. Densi-toilette COS
tHuzes are generally composed of a
pazticuIarly dressy kind of cashmere,
which will be i'll great demand For
full dress, heavy material, with orna-
nlents of plush will prevail. Until the
Ean costumes assume more decided
character, let us pay our attention to
notoilets, which are always the pre-
csxsors of the regular evening toilets,
Ehns they wear tatfetta dresses of light
eaior, for instance, with a very light
muslin or ganze cloak over it, which
reminds yon somewhat of the Sum-
msr fashions. 1t can hardly be called
aeioak, for it is looped back en- painters,
se@as TO show the elegant taffeta skirt.
HE sashes have become considerably
shnrter, the flaps being only two-thirds
their rormer length, and looking more
Elke part of the dress than like O
fash. On the other side these flaps
have large knots in the shape of fan,
exsoz shells at the tops. I have even
seen. cloaks made almost entirely of
aHipare, over tafetta transparents,
with sash and flaps guipure. which
makes the costume look very rich.
Pink and blue have become favorite
eOa1rs of late, and even blue and green
are worn together. The former style
isknown to be Pompadoar, while the
latter Is Scotch and very much liked in
fashionable circles. I have seen toilet
of that DIES ription worn by the Mar

fe8&4puffed with green, which gave the
tazilet the appearance of the feathers of
