Black lace shawls and sacques ana
paletots are extremely fashionable, and
form very desirable party of every
ladies' wardrobe.
A simple house dress is made ofblack
silk and trimmed with velvet; the
revers, cuffs, and band are all velvet.
These are edged with quilting Of silk;
but if more dressy trimming be desir-
ed, white lace, or goffered muslin with
black lace over it may be used to advan-
tage.
Pique suits should be simply made, a
plain overskirt, with slashed basque or
jacket; they are trimmed with Ham
burg embroidery, or plated bands Of
Victoria lawn; if intended for the house,
they are cut with the Gabrielle front,
with extra fullness at the back and slight
ly trained.
The costume Of to-day, that lays
claims to style, so called, must be in
keeping throughout, if it be of any : de-
cided color; if the suit be of a neutral
tint, the bonnet or hat, or sash may re-
lieve itwith a dash OF brightness Black
and gray and buff are the most desira-
bic colors, and with white, are seen of
tenest in the street
! Petticoats ID paysanne, striped of
two colors, are still fashionable for
semi-toilet. We notice some very neat
jupons, striped white and black or gray,
or lilac; they are trimmed with one
gathered founce, cut on the cross, and
are headed with two or three fittings
put on upwards, of course. rhese skirts
are made both of woollen material, and
of percale, the latter very pleasant for
summer toilets
White bonnets of tulle and crepe de
chine, and lace, are now made with
crown, border and curtain. Straw bon
nets are mostly of round shape-such
as we described a little while ago-but
in all models the shape of the bonnet
disappears under the elaborate trim
ming. Lace ruches, large bows of rib
bon, large blossoms, towering feathers,
made up q fouilli of ornaments difficult
to understand or describe.
Ladies who have long jackets can
make them quite fashionable by putting
q frill or fringe round the bottom and
looping them up to form adouble skirt.
A sash, made with rather short ends
and little trimming round the sleeves
and shoulders, is necessary to make
them look well. If the jacket is rather
full in the skirt so much the better.
This, with a skirt with two or three
flounces, will make pretty dress, sui
table to any age, and it may be make
in any material not too thin. Lace is a
good deal used, either white or black.
An old style of lace is considered good
taste Ruches, Of the same material az
the dress, are often used, and they look
very well Cut the material on the
crossway, and have each edge pinked or
cut in small vandykes.
Black grenadines decreed as neces,
sary to every summer wardrobe.
Some very pretty styles for summer
mantles come to us from Paris. The
Marguerite is cashmere paletot
trimmed with a ruche n Ia vieille, the
plaits being turned the contrary way.
! The ruche is bordered with satin, and
at its lower edges only with a twisted
fringe. The sleeve and armhole are
both wide This mantle can be worn
either with foulard or wollen dress.
1t likewise looks well in grenadine OF
cambria, provided they are -elfcolorcd
and the skirt is similar
The "ITenriette" is basquine, with
revers and cape. The basquine is OF
black fave, ornamented with chantilly
it is open in front, and the revers are
trimmed with lace, headed with two
satin cross-bands. The pointed cape
is trimmed with lace, and terminates
with q gimp bow that fastens it TO the
waist. The cuff Of the sleeve is plated,
and the plaits are fastened down with
gimp bow. The waist band iastens
in front with two gimp ornaments. The
tunic has revers and deep hounce
borders the skirt.
A mantle, very becoming to slight
figures, is the "Jaconde The basque
| in front is trimmed with tassel fringe
the double basque that falls at the back
is ornamented with guipure, headed by
a row Of open gimp. Three flots OF
ribbon with gimp are arranged at the
back, and trimmed with guipure At
the bottom of the sleeve, the guipure
headed by the gimp Stimulates revers.
This mantle ought only to be worn with
dress of rich quality
