Linen in clear beautiful Colors, appl,
green, China blue, pink and violet
makes cool and charming dresses foI
simmer. Short dresses of white muslin
TRAINED with alternate tucks and mar
row fIounces to the knee, are worn fol
dress toilet over apple green or rose
colored percale. The sleeves are made
in large pufs, with tucks between.
While street suits of one material ar(
the rule, and other dresses the excep
ton, a few new garments intended fol
outdoor wear over muslin and grenadint
dresses are introduced.
Some beautiful toilettes of grenadint
have made their appearance, so very
dressy and elaborate that it is scarcely
possible to do them justice by descrip
ton.
A dress of pale gray grenadine has
the underskirt bordered by three narrow
ruffles, with cross cut bands of satir
heading them; the second skirt is made
to correspond, except that the ruffiet
are considerably narrower than those Of
the skirt; it is cnt apron front, and made
very full at the back and very much
looped up by broad satin sash tied I'M
deTneath.
Stripes still continue in high favor
Some of the poplins are most beautiful
One especially of purple and white and
another of blue and mode are most
stylish. Lisle poplin is much in de
mand. The most fashionable are in blue
or green checks.
GRAY mohair dresses, with black trim.
ming, are most universally worn fol
second suits. 1t Is wonderful how var.
led the dressmaker can contriVe to make
them.
In summer silks there is great variety,
though all are beautiful. A green Met.
ternich stripe attracted our attention
because of its quality and style. Pongee
and Japan silks are also verJ fashion
able. They wear well and always look
drPssy.

ly, bound narrow black.
A stylish dress has a deep gathered
founce, headed by a puff, and three
black ruches, three inches wide, above
it, with wide intervals, so that the skirt
is nearly covered with trimming
Flounce and puff are mixed with black
The basque has pulled skirt, deeply
trimmed with black.
The looped eapes and odd notched
ones hanging deep in the back are not
seen on the best suits; they disfigurt
the form.
Muslin bodies, so much WORE q few
years since, are still worn as adiuncts tC
dresses of color, and, modified ia shape
are also graceful additions to the morn
ing toilettes.
A very dressy white body is made OF
crossed plaits, edged by valenciennes
lace over bias satin, and in front Il
crossed like .fchu.
The basque, also made of plaits, is
very short in front, is cut away from the
belt, and is Topped at the sides by a dou.
BILE cluster of satin bows, and is com.
pleted at the bacl; by single large
cluster without ends.
Some square-bodled pelerinos are also
worn, with square ends passing under
the sash ribbon, and ladders of bows
down the front. These are also made OF
lace, and worn over silk bodies, as are
the white one discretion.
The smooth waterfall is not worn; the
hair is crimped and lightly covered by
the net, or it is braided over shapes
which retain their form long time
Headdresses of white lace Of every
sort, chiefly Spanish blonde of the
handsemest quality, are worn by ladies
"well along" and for the youthful,
flowers, or the just now popular aigrette
which mays be made of both feathers
and flowers.
Fer parasols the style is OF square
shape with ruffles at the top. These
are in black, yellow or brown pongee
silks and look very jaunty and stylish
We can commend to the ladies the
Harris seamless kid glove. Its fit is
perfection, while the absence Of seam
running along the outside of the hand
below the little finger, renders them les.
liable TO rip than others. The prevail
ing color is the new shade of green, the
MetteTnich.
At Hennegen & Co.'s we find some
new things in jewelry. Since black
velvets about the throat are obsolete
in,place of them we see as the ton {
band or chain of gold, from which me
dallions or several lockets may be sus
pended.
Odd coins of various sorts, set in gold
will be worn also, and ifthe unfOrtunat,
seeker cannot find mates, We suppos,
fashion will not be offended with oGC
pennies for brooch and earrings.
Some very odd jewelry has made il
appearance, called the Chinese. 1t il
not real-that is, the material is com
position, and includes no gems or jew
els and bat little if any precious metal
The designs are bees, scorpions or may
be spiders, enameled upon dull grounds
of different cOlors.
The most beautiful toilet articles snC
bouquet holders are now made of a SCI
green glass most curiously frosted. W.
have seen nothing that would NOR,
