SUMNER STYLES AND MOVE, ~
BY MARY Z. TUCKER,

AS the season advances the w..
between trailing skirts and sha..
dresses continues to rage. Derlo,
able as the fact is, we are obIpea,,
record it, the popularity of dem;
trained dress for street wear is =,
the increase. Elegant as We mr.,
admit the long upon to be in ths
house, it is a barbarism to wear !,
any where else, except in carr;s0s
The old favorite black grenad;ns
dresses make up very handsomel,
in this demi-trained style. Bu,
then they are really more approun.
ate for house and carriage wear than
for walking costumes. A new and
beautiful style of making up these
grenadines has been introduced tb;s
spring. The lower skirt of iupoD
has the flounce set directly on ths
silk petticoat. Many narrow rufile,
are put on in blocks of alternate
plain and plated spaces. These
ruffles are arranged to run up in,
point OH each side, SO as to admit
the looping Of the overskirt without
showing the silk. At the top Of the
point a large flat Arabian bow Of
the grenadine is placed. The tunic
apron fronted and very long, il
looped at the sides and also I'm
boufdnt in the back. The corsaee
trimmed with tretelles, fastens down
under postillion sash, trimmed TO
correspond. The prettiest sleeve is
a modified coat and flowing sleeve
combined called the Louise. Tin
half tight nearly to the wrist. bu.
falls open from that point, where i,
is confined by bow placed on the
lower seam, just where it begins to
fall open. The grenadines are lined
throughout with black silk.
Another pretty. style Of making
up black grenadine is thus: It's
made in three detached parts, jupon
turned and basque. The jupon is
hounced with a plated Aounce Of
tie same matera at the bottom
Above it was a white organdie plat
ing, four inches vide, covered with
fall of black Chantilly lace Of The
same width, headed in the sams
manner with narrower lace and
plating. The long, French circ!s
tunic is similarly trimmed. The
postillion basque, besides being Of.
namented in this manner at the bot.
tom, is also. trimmed with lace and
organdie plating up to the bosom
and over the shoulders, to simulate
q Louis NV. vest. This dress IS
also made up over black silk. B!ack
giace silk is used for those lining,
but an old black silk can be lippel
up, and thus very well utilized Tie
sleeves of such n dress rs we have
described should be trimmed 70
match the upon with II plating Of
the same material at the bottom
headed by a lace and orgaidie trim
ming.
The white lawn and ecru liner
suits are beginning to be worn. The
white suits art made mostly with a
long polanaise and an eiaboratey
flounced and tucked iupon. Inc
handsomest of these suits are veG
costly. ranging in price from SO TO
$50, according to the amount Oh
work and wrought trimmings used
in them. The cheaper suits can be
purchased at from S. to SIS.
Dark brown glace linen is used
| for railroad suits and busters. Lors
busters opening all the way down
and fastened up with large bnt'o"
covered with the linen, are beng
made up in large quantities Inc
have arm-holes and detached sleeves
which can be slipped on, and whoS
only fastening to the garment IS"
bands of elastic attached to the III
side of the same.
The real ecru japanese pong'
which have been revived this sprins
make up beautifully trimmed VIZ
ecru colored English, Honlson o
Duchesse lace. They make up HO''
conveniently in a long, apron-'r0D.
