exactly corresponding. The corsage,
cut low and rounding, was trimmed
with plaitings of the ribbon outside of
q gauze ruche, and finished with a
chemisette of Valenciennes inserting
and tulle folds. A ehintz of silk Of
delicate buff and bouquets of geranium
leaves and scarlet peoples had an
Over-skirt with two hounces, draped
in heavy volumin0us folds over a skirt
of plain drab, trimmed with two wide
kilt plaitings. The pointed corsage is
open at the front, and folds of snowy
lace in Quaker-like simplicity are
arranged shawl fashion. The sleeves
to these costumes are all flowing with
an inner trimming of lace, plated
tulle or ribbon. Rich, creamy-tinted
/ alpacas are much worn at the sea
ishore, where the dampness is so pre-
judicial to thinner materials. These
are trimmed with any color taste die
tates; delicate green and violet are
preferred. White organdies OF the
finest quality are made with a deep
hounce and rows ofruffies, edged with
| Valencienne5. Ribbon, il preferred,
is arranged so as to fall in graceful
curves, at the heading, kept in place
by gracefully made bows and ends.
The polonaise, made to correspond,

There is a new and delightfully."- cool
fabric suitable for August and
September, the Tussore linen;
it usually comes in frog-green,
dust color, tea color, and various
shades of brown, but not in ecru or
any tint of buff, which makes it less
common. With the fringed selvedge
for trimming, these costumes are cas-
lily made for country wear with the
plated skirt, blouse, and overskirt.
Kilt plating promises to be a favorite
mode of trimming next season. 1t
must be remembered that it should
always be made straight, never bias,
and stitched on about an inch Or two,
according to its width from the top
and bottom edge, which must be
hemmed properly; not merely basted
down to save present time, bat max
ing a world of vexatious after trouble.
Mixed jewels are to be avoided.
Variety is the spice OF life a far as
expression of face, information of
voice, and general conversation goes;
but variety in cOlOrS, or dress orna-
mentation and jeWelry, is simply bar
barOus. But taste in dress is now as
carefully cultivated as music and dan
cling; therefore the eyes will no more
in the hereafter be offended by glar-
ing incongruities. ALI gilded and
tawdry ornaments, tassels, brass cres-
cents, gilt locomotives and steam
boats, huge bright earrings, lOckets
like cheese plates, and gilt chains are
on thedecline. Above all things, jew
elry should be worn in sets.
A beautiful accompaniment to the
white dresses, so popular, is the shell
jewelry, which comes in entire sets,
and is much lighter and more delicate
for summer than jet, of which we have
had 8 surfeit. The shell sets comprise
also a fan. On the entire set mono
grams are cut very artistically. A
Broadway importer exhibits a newer
style, set with precious stones, exceed
ingly pretty. Very handsome para
soils are imported, with tortoise-shell
handles, upon which the monogram
can be cut.
Cravats in white lace and white lawn
are very fashionable. Cooler in effect
than ribbon, they possess a very dain-
ty appearance. Ii not becoming to all
styles, they may be modified by a
knot of rosy or any b~right-hued rib
bon placed beneath. Cashmere of
delicate gray, as well as black, braided
or trimmed, with lace, is preferred for
a wrap at the fashionable resorts, to
jackets or shawls. They are made in
a stylish pOlonaise. Braiding will be
a very fashionable mode of garniture,

cashmere suits and polonaises. An
other old fashion is gradually reviv-
ing-that of black lace mitts. They
are now exhibited, but few have been
as yet seen.
There is a change in the couture, the
.recian twist taking the place of the
braids. This is certainly
cooler and more graceful, but more
troublesome to arrange, classically.
Hair importers are in ecstacies, as this
involves greater expenditures
hair. One fashionable lady has al
ready ordered two switches, each to
cost $45-One to coil in the twist, the
other to pass in a braided coronet
around the head. Soft all-WOol de-
laines are also reviving, and are
imported. These are already
made up, for autumn GOODNESS and
mountain air, of plain, quiet colors,
.1elicately trimmed with silk. They
made up, in prices from $50 to j
s60, according to the style and trim
ming.
