AP0pllD, IN the light faShl0naDc sHdues,
much used for suits. These poplin suits are
made with hounccs, ruffies or puffs. and the
basque or cape often trimmed with fringe
of a shade to match
A suit of green silk has the skirt plain,
the over-skirt edged with fringe a shade
darker than the silk the close fitting basque
has short skirt with fringe, and a bertha
is described by two satin folds and one row
OF fringe. A double row of green satin but
tons decorates the front.
Lace shawls are much worn over silk and
other rich materials, and are always elegant.
Yet the manner in which they are sometimes
worn is not attractive, though they are very
pretty when slightly dropped.
Sleeveless mantles are quite distinguished,
and are usually trimmed with lace or fringe.
A new style fits the waist, is bordered on
the edge and over the arm with rich lace
headed with satin folds. Another style has
long sashed fronts, and is somewhat in the
shape of shawl at the back, though open
nearly to the waist with a bow. This man
tie is trimmed with a founce edged with
narrow lace 1es I'LL.
For travelling wear, linen wraps are much
in vogue; they are made in long hose sacks,
or in circulars, and serve as protection
from the dust in railroad cars or during
drive in the country.
White and cream-colored pongee sun
shades lined with pink. are much worn now
They are light, and, being large, shade the
sun perfectly. rhe crimson lining imparts
healthy hue to the complexion, and is very
becoming to blondes.
Flounces are very much worn, and gene
rally a number of little founces seem pre-
ferred. Colored muslin robes, with scallop-
ed founces, are very pretty over silk pet
ticoat, the bottom being scalloped and
worked in dots with silk.
There is a new manner of making long
dresses into short, 10y merely looping them
up with bows of a darker shade than the
material. This looping up may, of course
be done in variety of styles: thus dress
may answer two purposes-Ior walking or
dinner toilette-by having two bodies.
Bodies are for the most part made open,
either heart shaped or square; they continue
also to be made to fasten down the side la
Poionalse. The plain coat sleeve is still
worn with all styles, hut we also see sleeves
slashed with bouillions, or with with NOUS
qouetarie revers. Sabot sleeves are only for
very elegant or dressy toilette
Rice straw, Leghorn. Belgian and other
fancy straws are being worn. They are uni
versally trimmed with flowers, and bound
with black satin or some quiet color, SO as
not to clash.
We must not, however, forget to remind
our readers that feathers are also much used,
md for dress bonnet nothing can be more
appropriate; thus, a bonnet Of white tnle
With barbes Of blonde, curled feather
orming wreath across, in the mi ddie OF
which is large full blown rose, theblonde
orming harbes fastened by II rose under the
hin; or the same bonnet with blue feather
md tea rose or green feather and large
White daisies, has quite as good an effect.
White blonde bonnets, trimmed with long
'rass, and small, bright colored birds, are
lso very fashionable

lyle; and the plain skirt has become an
reception to the general rule Belts are
TIL worn, OF the same material as the dress,
ut the long ends are no longer fashionable;
ct this is compensated for by the large loops
nd bows at the back of the belt.
