common that it produces a wearisome
uniformity in the dress of our ladies.
Carriage and visiting boots are seen
in colors to harmonize with the toilet,
and are usually of satin, elaborately en-
broidered.
For the croquet lawn, the Marie
Antoninette slippers, with a moderately
thick sole, and decorated with an i'm
mense bow and stell buckle, will be in
vogue.
For young girls and children there is
no prettier style for arranging the hair
if it be long and abundant than to let
it fall AK natural on the houlders-crepc
Of course.
Black kid boots, stitched with white
and lace on the inside, are more popular
than colored boots this season, for the
street. Buttoned boots; except for chill
dren, are no longer en- regle.
The "Frou-Frou' slippers is another
elegant trihe, and, as its names implies,
new this season. A frill of leather or
luting of satin around the ihstep is sub,
stituted for the ordinary bow, while a
buckle fastens the two sides together.
The latest novelty that has made its
appearance for the summer months in
ladies' toilettes are two new hats, called
LA Belle" and LA Reine," Fren cog
nomens, given to two decidedly English
looking hats. There is striking sim
ilarity, and yet they vary just enough
to give to each name of its own.
The short dresses now worn render it
impossible for lady to wear an ill-fittin g
boot, and go forth with any hope that the
patent fact can be concealed from the eye
of the most ordinary observer. The foot
is now as conspicuous and as easily to be
seen as the hand, and the Importance of
being well shod is as great as being well
gloved.
The Harney jacket is something new
this summer for boys between ten and
thirteen. This is plain, short sack with
with a breast and two side pockets, with
breast and buttons all the way down
the front, short rolling collar. This comes
either with or without vest. The ma
terial for this, and dress suits for boys of
larger growth, is fine broadcloth of two
colors-dark blue and a snuff brown.
Boys who wear pants reaching only to
the knee, adopt for common use a plain
substantial goat.skin shoe, either laced or
buttoned, according to taste. For dressy
occasions finer kid is employed. For
boys in long pants. there is nothing bet
ter than the union button shoe, similar
to those worn by men, or the plainlaced
shoe. For warm summer days, and even
ing dress, a low patent-leather one, tied
over the instep with black ribbon, is all
the fashion provides in this line.
Great latitude is allowed in the arrange
ment of the hair. Braids, curls pufs and
''frizzes," all claim an equal number of
devotees; either being stylish as long as
the general shape Of the coifure is one
which extends from within an inch or two
of the forehead to low down in the neck.
Blondes naturally affect curls and soft
"Auffy" puffs, with their hair frizzled
furiously over the eyes in a dishevelled,
Bacchante style, which they evidently
consider dangerously alluring; while bru-
nettes, especially those with classic fea-
lures, arrange their hair in smooth, longi.
tudinal rolls, alternating with heavy
braids, and perhaps, gentle wave in
front to redeem the hair from its ordinary
limpness.
