waists, fastened across the bosom from lett TO

temptation Of winding up this chronicle with
! We description OF two fataer eccentric but not
the less graceful costumes. One of them is
composed OF very short linen underskirt OF
nankin color, with the lower part cut ia teeth
and bordeTed with narrow stripes OF Ted wool.
The skirt itself Is composed of the same ma
terial, looped back by Two red knoss the waist
has red buttons, fits tight and is fastened by a
red sash knotted al the side and falling back IN
long haps. The tght-ftting sleeves are en-
broidered with red round the wristbands A
cap la bretonne of the same material as the
dress rs likewise embroidered with red, aud
the high yellow boots have red tassels. The
other costume is made of silk, with cream col
ored and black stripes. The lower part Of the
skirt lie ornamented with a triple row of black
gauze, separased by yellow pIpings. The low
waist rs cut square. and the dress OF black
gauze Is looped back en- paniers al the sides.
and bordered all round with a plat OF cream-
colored ribbon. The round straw hat Is lined
with black, and has a putting of cream-colored
ribbons for ornament The boots are black,
and have high heels.
