Dry goods of every description, and even
made up garments, which usually bring
very high prices, are all at the present
time comparatively low. Excellent drill
lings, satin, jeans, coutille, fine piques and
Marseilles, which cost from one to two dol
lars per yard to import, are selling from
4 fifty. cents to dollar and quarter pei
yard.
Poplins which sold at the beginning OF
the season for dollar and quarter are
now selling for seventy-five cents per yard
and stocks of mixed spring fabrics cannot
be got rid of at any price.
A rich suit OF black Antwerp silk, piped
with red satin, train two yards long, val
ued six weeks ago at three hundred and
fifty dollars, is now reduced to two hun
dred. A walking suit of black silk, trim
med with satin and lace, formerly one hun
dred and sixty-five dollars, now one hun
dred and twenty-five; other suits in mixed
fabrics, beautifully made and elegantly
trimmed, at from twenty to fifty dol
lars, formerly forty to seventy.
t. Walking suits now can be bought in
many houses at a less price than they
would be made and trimmed by fashion, :
able dressmaker.
UNIFORM COLoRs IN COSTUME.
Ihave intlmated several times that uni
form color is the great desideratum now in
stylish costume. 1t iscertainly the most
| exclusive test of fashion that ever was in
vented. Every body nowadays has dia-
monds; everybody has India shawls and
1 laces; everybody can have at least one
ttrain, but costumes complete in one color,
and not in one color only, but in one shade
of one color, require not only money but
genius, patience, Judgment. artistic taste,

1t is common enough upon any of our
fashionable thoroughfares so see suits COM
Eplete, and even suits with bonnets to
match, but it is still rare to see complete
lcostumes in one color. and when they are
lseen the striking effect naturally attracts a
good deal of attention. But although shy
/ of walking down Broadway in them as
yet, many ladies wear very beautiful COM
plete costumes for visiting and receptions,
| and little description of several seen lately
will serve to indicate the general style.
The first was blue silk, with trimming
upon the skirt and sack of pointed blue
velvet and blue crimped tasseled fringe
Blue lace hat, blue boots, blue parasol and
trimmed with fringe, and blue gloves, the
My white visible about the whole person
consisted of the handkerchief and cuffs
fastened with turquoise buttons.
Another was very elegant costume in
'ich pearl gray silk. The skirt was bor-
Tered with three narrow pinked out flow
rs, and the sash, the basques and the back
# the waist, and the little cross-over
Marie AntOinctte fichu were trimmed to
match. The bonnet was of gray tulle,
trimmed with blonde of the same shade.
ind wreath of gray mother-of of-pearl
caves, which crossed the front and de-
.cended to the shoulder in Gordon upon
the scarf ends of tulle, which formed or
namental strings in front. The parasol was
of oil frs. ,oI ,.tI.
ruff1es pinked out. The boots of pearl gray
colored silk, fastened with mother-of-pearl
buttons. The gloves exactly matched the
dress.
The third was in pale buff. the material
for the dress French chaille trimmed with
Fcross-cut folds of buff silk, piped with
satin of the same shade. The upper dress
was cut with train and looped to form
"paniers" over the skirt. The sac was
short, loose cut, with reuers and trimmed
to match the dress. The boots were huff
kid, the parasol of pOngee-silk and the
bonnet of peculiar shade of buff tulk,
trimmed with straw colored blonde and a
golden aliegrette, the spears of which were
surmounted with small gold knots. The
exact shade was scarcely so well preserved
in this costume as in some others, but
there was no glaring difference, and the
unity was remarkable considering the diff
ficulty of obtaining this color in certain
shades. .
Lavender is the color most commonly
worn in complete costumes, but the most
remarkable effect is certainly produced by
the absence of all color. A lady the other
day appeared upon the street in costume
all white. Suit of white mohair, trimmed
with pipings of white silk and white
.crimped fringe. White hat, white kid
boots, white parasol and white gloves.
The dress was really elegant, but one
could not divest oneself of the idea of a
baker covered with flour or a clown in
pantomime.
THE BERNoUsE AGAIN.
The new and pretty summer wraps are
all in the bernouse style. They are made
in striped silk and grenadine, the silk
chened and richly mounted with tassels and
heavy cord.
There are also Abyssinian bernouse, the
stripes of rough unbleached linen alternat-
ing with stripes of Japanese unbleached
silk upon which are printed small Arabic
characters.
More dressy mantillas are made in white
grenadine, with mantilla backs, shawl bas-
'quine frouts, which cross over, and long
pointed hoods. They are trimmed with |
handsome crimped tassels and crimped !
tassled fringe in some bright color.
The "Countess," variation of the Marie |
Ant inette, is very graceful .fchu with |
with lace and taste ed down under belt, |
to which wide sash with bows is attached
at the back. The ends of the sash are |
trimmed with lace.
Waterproof cloaks are now made with |
a deep cape instead of hood, the cape |
caught up at the back with two rosettes in |
g Colleen Bawn" style.
otch tartan makes more stylish trav- |
cling wrap than waterproof cloth, and is |
very distingle made in the style above men, |
toned, with rosettes of silk in the colors OF
the plaid.
MORNING WRAPPERS AND COTTON DRESSES. |
Several correspondents, some from dis |
tant parts of the country, have written to |
know how to make "calico" dresses.
Morning wrappers, OF which every lady |
needs one or two. are gored plain, buttoned
down the front, trimmed with narrow |
border, in chintz pattern, or of plain |
cambria, stitched on and finished with two |
little pockets. Such wrappers as these, of
print in small patterns, can be bought |
ready-made at a fashionable house for four |
and half dollars each.
Wrappers cut in the same way, are made |
in white piQue and trimmed with white or
;olored braid, for 50 to $l2, and in un-
bleached linen, trimmed with white braid |
(several rows), for 80. These prices are
scarcely in advance Of the cost of material !
md making. l had almost forgotten to say
that sash belt (not dressy affair.", is at
tached to the back and tied in front. The |
.nds are little wider than the belt part,
Z md are finished with braid.
Dresses of plain cambria or calico, are
made with deep yokes, stitched in very
narrow tucks, and outlined with narrow
double frill of the same, through the GEN.
ter of which cord runs. The skirt should
be very narrow at the top and finished with
d fiounce, to which frill like that on the
waist will serve as heading. Flat braid
or narrow chintz border, stitched on, may
he used instead of the ruffiing. The sleeves
are slightly full at the top, and trimmed on
the back and at the wrists to match. The
waist is finished with belt.
