As dress for young lady, we recon-
mend the following: Jupon9of green foul
ard striped with white, and over 1t robe OF |
gray foulard spotted with green. The jupon
is edged with four or five plisses of the same |
material as the robe, and the latter is TRIM |
med with ruche of the some foulard as the |
jupon, edged with piping of green taffety. |
The robe, like all those made during the !
present season, is destined to serve two pur- |
poses The skirt is made long, so that 1t |
may be gathered up when worn in outdoor
costume. BY this means therobe may serve !
either as a neglige yisiting~dress, or for |
family dinner party. The corsage is of the |
sape material as the robe, and is made with
revers and worn with gilet, or white che.
misette. The cienture is of green tatfety,
fastened at the back in loops falling one
over another en- cascade. A spencer of white
| embroidered muslin or of organdI may be
worn instead of the gilet or chemiselte if
preferred. Il
| For young ladies the most becoming style
| of arranging the hair is in plants, mingled
| with curls; that is to say merely a few curls
at the chignon, encircled by plaits. A band
of ribbon is frequently entwined among the
| plaits and fastened in small bow at one
side. 1'' 'i '''' i' i'i -a7 -s''i-'

outdoor amusements of frequent occurrence
at the present season, no dresses are more
general than those of white muslin over slips

Striped taffety, lilac and white, or pink
and white, is very effective for dresses suita-
BILE for out door fetes We will suppose
dress made of pink and white striped taffety,
the stripes running longitudinally on the
skirt. There may be four flounces p aced
rather wide apart These flounces are cut
out in deep points and edged with narrow
ribbon. In the first and third fiounces the
stripes are made to run to the right, and in
the second and fourth tiouhces they run to
the left The jupon worn under this short
robe is of plain pink silk, trimmed with
two rows of pink and white silk fringe.
The corsage should be high and open in
front, showing richly worked chemisette.
A small hat of paile de riz, ornamcnted
with 4 bouquet of roses, and a train Of rose
buds dropping over the chignon at the back
of the head.
The chemisse-russe still letains favor, cs-
pecially with young ladies, to whom it is
extremely becoming. For example q very
pretty dress for young lady may be com
posed of a chemse-russe of torquoisc blue
foulard, with skirt of black taffety or OF
gray perca.e, and embroidered with white
soutache.
