Walking dresses are wern at graceful
lengths Hoop skirts are not so much worn

violet and green materials (silk), short skirt

is plain also. A small round cape festooned
on the shoulders and at the center Of the

Irish popplins of different colors will be
very much worn this season. A black un-
| derskirt of this material, bordered with
fiounces ard headed with honeycOmbed satin
trimmings, the founces caught up in curves
at intervals with buttons, forms a very neat
and yet withal not very expensive walking
suit for married ladies'. The overdress, Of
the same material, forms tunic, and is

the back and shoulders. and the folds fastened
with satin covered buttons. The edges are

ruching. The waist is cut low and square a.
la Pompadour, with Marie Antoinette sleeves.
Capes a speciality for outdoor wear.
They are for the most part small, and more
ornamental than useful. They are, however,
eminently fit for spring and summer wear.

Suits are so much worn. that cloaks will he |
altogether ignored, except for change. For
those who desire them, loose basqunes and
double tanas are very much the style. |
Sleeveless sacks Of one color and the dress
of another look neat np0n young ladies. |
Black sacks are generally preferred.

the ears than were those of last season.
