TIE FASHIONS Elizabethian frills are
coming into fashion. The Indian foulards
make neat and serYiceable dresses for
e+1 Get or mouse. Lace Will enter more
largely into the composition of street gar
mcnts than ever before, guipure net being
sold by the yard for the purpose. Outside
garments for summer wear will be made
of the thiunest material, muslin, lace,
blode, guipure or Chambery. Many of
these will be made without sleeves for
wearing over full dress. Many ladies
are asking if hoop skirts are worn: The

meets a lady dressed in the highest mode,
who has quite discarded the hoop--but

glad TO return to their allegiance.
