A Bouquetierre fclu forms point in the
middle of the back. 1t is ornamented with
strips of insertion in embroidery, and trim
med with lace all round. There is a deep
lace frillng round the neck.
This pretty toilette is completed by a
Glaucus hat of Leghotn straw, with Il ruche
of eerise colored ribbon all round, rosette
ON the top, with long loops and ends falling
at the back and small bow in front a little
ON one side.
Square cut chemisettes of the same style
are made with wide strips of Valenciennes
lace insertion and embroidered garlands of
foliage, the pattern of which corresponds to
that of the lace There is double lace
trilling down the front, The sleeves are or

edged with narrow Vaenciennes round the
top and finished off the bottom with two
f1utings of deeper lace to correspond. This

For children we see some very nice little
toilets. A little girls frock is of white aud
black checked Ieno; the skirt is trimmed

same material, piped on either side with

fitting casaque, all piped with red, and sash
with wide loops and lapels to correspond.
The thin fabric for summer wear called
mozambique is well remembered, though
long since out of fashion. 1t has been
brought out again, and is now called "leno
cloth" When tastefully trimmed, these
leno suits are very pretty and wear well; yet
perhaps, the greatest recommendation of
this material is its cheapness-;he price
ranging from thirty-tive tc fifty cents per
yard.
A Montpensicr fchu of clear muslin is
trimmed with patterns of open work en-
broidery and with lace and embroidery in
sertion round the edge. The slope of the
neck Is ornamented with lace frilling, and in
front there are deep revers finished off upon
the bosom by bow of rose-colored satin.
Five lapes of lace and embroidery are laid in
strips over the tchu. At the back there is
bow formed of similar lalcls and stream .
ers of rose-cOored satin.
White Marseilles was much in vogue last
year for suits, and is still more popular this
season. There is new styb of this mate
rial; it is figured stripes, and makes elegant
walking suits. Linen is also used for suits,
but is not rs popular as the buff Panama
that looks so cool, and is better for summer
wear. There is a. differenc. between linen
and Panama material, which is woven of
some India fibre differing from flax. But it
is as durable as linen, and if carefully wash
cd looks well until worn out

Dresses of silk gauze, striped with satin,
are very fashionable for evening wear. One
OF these which we very much admired, was
of white silk gauze, striped with mauve I
satin. The first skirt was trimmed with a
deep fiounce cut on the cross, and headed
with narrow bouillon, edged on either
side with a lace border The second skirt
was a sort OF train shape tunic. cut entirely
on the cross, and very gracefully looped ND
with bows as mauve satin and white lace.
The low bodice was worn withfichu entirely
formed of strips of lace insertion, edged ali
round with futing of the same. and orna-
mented with bows and lapels of mauve rib
bon. There are also lace sleeyes to cores
pond with the tichu.
For a little boy of about two or three
years old, lovely little dress is of pacha
"a very line sort of mohair0 pearly- gray,
with blue. The frock is made in
the Princess shape-bodies and skirt cut
out all in one. 1t is ornamented down in
front with series of bows fastened like
small straps and buckles, made of the ma
terial, edged with blue silk. There is

lll edged with blue in the same manner.
The skirt is trimmed round the bottom
with narrow futing of blue silk, headed
with cross strip of the material of the
Irock, edged with blue. The hat is in the
Picador shape of English straw, trimmed
with rosettes of narrow blue velvet.
The latest rage this season, however, is for
he introduction of bright Scotch plaid or
Roman colors into the trimmings or compo.
ition of white, black, or made costumes.
As trimming they are used in satin and
ringe, the satin forming fine folds, which
ire introduced as bright lines between
others OF the color of the material. The
rlnge contains all the colors of the satin.
in sections, not mixed together.
ireen is also so much used in trimming that
t is almost impossible to get a large quanti-
y OF ribbon, fringe, or satin of that color
Already satin cords in Scotch colors, or in
'rlght green, are in demand for trimming
ull suits OF gray and black alpaca, or rather
ormlng lines on the heading to the puffed
'leating and ruffles of these suits. and the
lyle promises to be most effective and fash
