FASHION.

We-suppose our lauJ
ouarrel with rs for presenting them I'll
occasional article on the fashions mol
that we know enough about the art o.
dressing to make readable paper OF
tbot subject but we have means of in
formation not available to all, and think
onr lady readers will enjoy reading such
information as we give below:
Decidedly the handsomest dresses o.
tho season are the India mules, lnt
u ~; and bishops lawn, made up
for the watering places. They are mas,
. .ot Sn of needle.work and sewing
Uea combined, and are moro expen-
u;Ho than the chsmberys or grenadines,
sse tbav are elaborate combinations oil
an4Ses tncks. insertings and lace.
Some of the peignoirs in white muslin
ooo ory elaborate and dressy yokes or
sIonlder pieces, and are intended TO fali
aaOoafniIT from thence whithersoever
81 viii: but they don't do it, and
80 the appearance OF a forgotten
waistband, and BESIDES are mucn III
For morning wear there are varieties
or white lawn and cambria jackets
One stylish and dressy one had a square
sbonlder piece of insertion and muslin
oItarsated. somewhat like the Pompa-
Ionr only it was continued to the
SbonIder points; it was bordered by
hands of inserting and muslin all around
the body of the jacket, which was short
scarcely falling over the hips, and very
becoming to slender figure.
A beautiful dress of silk gauze was
made with many pufings of white satin,
with falls of Spanish blonde. The tunic
was the best Interpretation OF the bee. ;
wing pattern that we have seen, Tor IL
Is nothing but a succession of bees
wings. short in front, and gradually
IenGfbening, to fall over the long
trained skirt. At every separate wing
there were ladders of little Marguerite
resettes.
THE waist was made with bretelles OF
the material, nearly covered with white
satin pufings, and edged by fall OF
Tbe richest Spanish blonde. The sleeves
were nothing to speak of, and, indeed,
appealed directly to ones faith IN tAsn-
ion. 80
Muslin waists are made perfectly
plaip, no puffs or frilling, the seams IN
der the arm nearly straight, no belt, but
two shirrs for drawing string to mt them
to any sized person, to be belted down
nv the hand of the skirt. The cuffs and
shoulders are wrought with garland In
colored silks.
Another style has a vine of field bios
SONS on plats up and down the fronts
These are pretty with white sklrts lot
afternoon dress.
The guipure berthas are heart shaped
opentO the belt, with just perceptlbly
frilled border fitting under the edge
On the shoulders these berthas with the
three inch border reach to the seam OF
the sleeve, no more.
We have been shown pretty muslin
apron for afternoon, of sheer book mus
lin, a broad hem on the edge and Ham
burg insertion, small pointed pockets,
with embroidered revers and bretelles
frilled, with two cross pieces IN 'front.'
slightly pointed, and finished in needle
work.
Another apron had apple-green rib
bon run under the muslin, and delicate
fiuted frills, three inches deep, pockets
and bretelles finished in the same way.
A new fancy for muslin articles is EN-.
broidery in cOlors, done with silk.
Plateau hats are the last style for
summer, and their novelty and convent
ence will make them popular. They
are circles of pearl braid or CrinOline,
exactly resembling tablemats, entirely
fat, but so flexible they take the curve
over the top of the head. A cluster OF
trimming in the centre, puff of ribbon
and roses is all these hats need, and a
square scarf hanging behind in Italian
fashion. A ruche of pink or blue satin
ribbon is placed under the brim.
In jewelry we find at Hennegen &
Co.'s several new styles in sets. The
pin is not as large as Mast season, and
is oblong or round with scolloped edge.
At the top of the earrings is a round
piece of gold, richly chased, to which
are attached long pendants. The sets
are of malachite, ruby, or some other
rich stone. Moss agates are the rage
for fnger.rings and sleeve.buttons. We
noticed two or three sets of the most
beautiful moss agates We have ever seen.
Rings of cameo, topaz, ruby and onyx
are very much worn. This house has a
splendid assortment of gold and silver
headed canes for gentlemen, very rich
and beautiful.
