Very pretty dresses are already In mar.
ket. These are in shades Of gray and
brown, which will be preferred to buff.
The most stylish are made with the under
skirt trimmed with a wide side-plaited
founce, set on with bias band of linen
covered with black, white, or any color
that is fancied. The upper skirt is full,
trimmed with narrow plisSee and two bias
bands The jacket is loose, open under
the arms, and trimmed up the back TO the
neck loose sleeves.
An elegant suit in two shades of cameo
had the under skirt of the lighter shade,
edged with bias of the darker, and 1ounce
headed with a ruche Of the dark. The
upper skirt of the dark shade trimmed
with bias of the light, open in front, and
turned back so as to display lining OF
the light shade The basque half tight,
very long at the back, Of the dark shade,
profusely trimmed with the light. Sleeves
reminding one of antique pictures, as they
are tight to the elbow and fall below in a
broad fan-shaped ruffle, while curious
Routuel fringe Of the dark shade edged
basque and upper skirt.
BLACK SILK GARMENTS.
The favorte style in these useful affairs
is the Polonnaise, with long looped skirt,
forming almost a costume. These are cut
tight in the waist, continuous down the
front, and with small basque inserted at
the back over the pannier, trimmed with
various styles Of black gimps, and laces,
or fringe Short sacques, suitable for wear
over walking dresses, are cut loose, open
under the arm, and up the back, with open
sleeves.
BONNET>.
The new style in bounets is decidedly
the gipsy shape. This is larger than we
have seen for some time, low-crowned, and
has something approaching to a cape. \
beautiful bonnet was in pearl straw, very
white, and blue ribbon put on full around
the crown, and a bunch of white sweet
brier roses on the front Another suitable
for an old lady, was Of gray pulled silk,
with a large bunch of ribbon Of the same
color on one side, and a pink rose in the
centre. Another bonnet of black straw
was trimmed with ribbon Of cameo yellow,
with large bunch Of pansics on the side.
ROUND HATS.
The new shape has a moderately wide
brim, with q medium crown not very high,
and sIoped back good deal Some of
the new hats have the brim depressed in
front behind, and on the two sides \
beautiful hat of snow white straw was
bound with green velvet had broad band
of green velvet edged with narrow black
lace around the crown and a bunch of bcI-
ries and green leaves On one side Auoth-
er very costly hat was of Leghorn straw,
trimmed with yellow ribbon and purple
poppies Still another very stylish. was
black, with black and yellow ribbon and
profuse bunches of wheat ears. There
must be pride of art akin to that Of
painter in his work when moliste per-
fects one of these beautiful and really ar
tistic creations. Some of the hats display
real genius in their combinations.
