DRESSES AND DRESS GOODS.


DRESSES AND DRESS GOODS.
Paintings Of Chambery gauze on silks are
popular.
Colored silks, imported, have white Or
CANDY frills and plaitings.
Some pretty white goats hair dresses are
trimmed with the narrowest coral-colored
braid.
A buff silk, a lavender, and a light brown
thus trimmed were among the novelties in
trousseau recently arrived.
Some of the freshest white dresses have
been founced with narrow ruff1es to the
waist the rufies being placed apart, and the
spaces filed with rows of the narrowest
black velvet.
White suits are much IN vogue. They
were worn to some extent last year, but did
not obtain much favor until this season, and
doubtless they will remain fashionable while
the walking dress retains its present length.
We have return to the styles of long
ago in rutiles, quillings and plaitings OF
grenadine and hermann upon silk.
The panier is by no means obsolete, and
from all reports is believed to prevail more
obstinately at the sea shore than at the
mountain resorts. In some white and coral
colored foulard suits it has asserted itself
with determination. In general, however,
it is due to an arrangement of draperY and
not to actual construction. The effect re-
mains Ia panier.
Some new crochet trimmings, and the
old fashioned gimps have been seen upon
dresses imported for wedding outfit.
Fringes, too, are used upon such dresses,
headed by guipure in 'ertings or open-work-
ed passementeries.
We have at this late day still another
material imported among the rcady-made
suits to order, called Panama fibre, some
what resembling yellow Holland linen, and
better These goods, trimmed with blue,
coral color, or decided maize, are among
the latest goods exhibited but being late,
they will do for another summer.
Some of the India muslins have the ruff
fes doubly bound with narrowest black vel
vet, which, as trimming, bids fair to return
to us in the fall with all its old popularity.
Foulard silks are in greatest demand.
The twilled ones make excellent dresses for
children, and will wash as well as piques OF
linen.
TIE Algerian foulards make very pretty
dresses, with plain high dress of gaily
striped Algerian, and a blue or onecru tunic
dress, with low bodice worn over it.
Printed foulards look well while they are
,,o,,, J,,,t tta,, on an 20 on5 orn
at first to lose their color.
Unbeached foulard makes the most stylish
of dresses, with loosely fitting Pompadour
basque, trimmed with quilted ribbon of
shade trifle darker than the material.
sHAwLS.
Lace shawls were never more necessary as
an article of lady's wardrobe. Except for
elderly ladies, however, they are not worn
an ndtureg but are arranged for waistband
and sash, looped upon the shoulders and
otherwise so disguised that they are scarcely
recognizable as the well known point There
is another process of fitting at the shoulders
and taking in at the back SO as to contrive
a fall over the arm, somewhat resembling a
sleeve.
Chantilly and Lama lace shawls are SO ar
ranged, with chance of the surrender being
final one. Handsome thread shawis ladies
are reluctant to loop in this way, as they
are sure to be disabled and torn.
A dress garment in Lama lace, now proper
to be called "dentelle dies Indes,' is the Vic
toria, sort of fchu with a double plat
down the back, and square lappets, ending
~, and hour al tba honL-
Sashes continue to he of the most brilliant
shades, flame color and the brightest maize
ribbon being very fashionable, with white
muslin or black grenadine dresses. They
are broader and shorter than ever, the loops
being nearly as long as the ends.
HATS.
Fanchons of italian straw are trimmed
with narrow black velvet and ruches of
black lace, with cluster of Marguerites or
peoples and wheat.
The bridal travelling hat in this age of
good taste IS palmer than any other. We
remember when the Dunstable bonnet, trim
med with white ribbon, marked the jour
neying bride as plainly as if she had worn
her marriage certificate pinned on her
SnOulQer.
Among other pretty round hats intended
for the season a Bergere of white chip is
trimmed with pink roses and black lace,
and rice straw, with long scarf of maize
colored gauze, fastened with a brilliant
bird.
Feathers and flowers may be seen upon
the same hat this season, and ladies who
call themselves ladies of taste wear them.
Among the travelling dresses in linen we
have had the Sanish, the Chinese, and the
6atiste, three ply goods, not very cool, but
durable.
A round hat Of Italian straw, trimmed
very plainly, or Donna Maria, which has a
gauze veil wrapped about the crown, is the
popular hat for travelling.
