Correspondence Of the New York Herald.l
PARIS, May 20.
The new fashions can be described in few
words, but their application In matters OF taste
would fill volumes. Thus, when one is told
that the newest things are tall hats, tall para
sols, embroidered costumes, Dolmaf Jackets
and Roman scarfs, 1t would appear that this
enumeration should suffice. In point of mum.
Der 1t does, very truly; but 1t Is wonderful how
many different kinds of tall hats ladies wear,
and how varied, In fact, every article can be
that Is fashionable. Some of the combinations
ior June are very pretty, and among these are
the
PERSIAN PATTERNS FOR PoMPADoUR TUNICs.
AL pettic0ats worn with them are of silk
trimmed with stripes, or borders of the
tunique materl8l-the more exotic the leaves
and odd the flower, the better. Grounds are
all ecru, and what is not ecru Is very neutral
Indeed. Neutral grounds always are safest
when 1t rains, or when politics. .shift, and this
Parliament all spring. The prettiest challies
are striped, half ecru and half satin; or inser-
ton of white open-work worn over colored
silk pettcoats, which have q deep killed
fouDce that is.headed with chicaree ruche fray
ed out TO look like plumes.
FEATHER TRIMMINGS,
In the maroon, stone and drab tints, are worn
round basques. Plume trimming, which was
only adopted In winter. will be la favor at the
seaside and waterlng-places this summer, but
the light shades only. Feather fringe Is also
10 be sewn on basques; it Is made, too. in
sewing silk and floss, In all colors, and Is then
called butterfly fringe. It isvery appropriate
for light lawns and drab musllns. Basques
are elabo, ately worked in the mouse shades
or Paris brule and In maroon. Maize silk has
just appeared, embroidered with nut brown,
each founce being dented, and showing be-
meath these dents nut-orown silk lining
When embroidery Is used on basuues the
fronts and sleeves, which latter are very wide
and long, have to correspond. One would
think that the great diversity of processes
surrection In the Basque Country. Some are
cut 10 jockey, some Ia mousquetaire, some
never come to the front, but keep hanging
behind.
VERY COSTLY ROBES
have Just been made for the Grand Duchess of
Russia, among which the sober tints prevail
tor driving and visiting. and very bright COM
binauons In the turquoise and sapphire tlnts
mixed for full toilets; also myrtle green with
vert dean, and the two beautiful Danube
blues. The Mber, o yellowish stream, Is being
lined with pink. All these neutral tlnts are
relieved BY very narrow plpngs OF bright
tallle. Thus bronze robe OF twilled silk Gan
Indian materially worn over faille Of the same
shade, is Made up with pale blue cross-cuts,
the heading Of frills and flounces having a
lining of the same and q scarf to life up The
Camargo tunic behind. being of this very light
color. Among the robes made for the Grand
Duchess is O black and white taffeta, with
flounces OF fluffy organdie, each of them being
inlaid with 3ruges point insertion, and the
open train en- tablier being trimmed down In
front with cascade Of Burgess lace stopped
here and there from too sudden falls by bows
Of black satin.
ANOTHER TOILET
ordered for an American lady Is equally cost
ly. It Is silver gray undersklrG with two
f4ppsea RI XsFX Ak in 'front.' and over II there is
~san w1ue putnt all ronnd iai6oa ,a...@s
Camargo below the waist behind is raised
with darker shade Of gray satin that Is lined
with orange faille. It looks like silver clouds
yelled with haze and tipped Gilh little gor-
geous sun.
TOILETS NOT QUITE so GRAND.
But simpler toilets are no less tasteful. Mo-
hairs and cashmeres make up with elegant
simplicity. The mixture of faIlle or taffeta, In
all cOlors, sets off all The woollen stones,
drabs and grays. Pale salmon and pale lilac
scarfs are artistIcalIy thrown over pouffs, or
loop them mp behind. The casaque Montpen-
sier Is likely 10 maintain the position 1t has
had such hard fighting for. The loVellest are
very bright blue, under toilet Of plain snuff
color, worked with Havana and canary col.
Ored silk. The stricteSL simplicity Is remarked
In the costume oil our fair equestrian bellies at
Chanlilly.
WHITE MUSLIN TUNIcs.
The reign of white muslin tuniques over
light nnderskirls will be absolute. They are
to be puffed and edged with frills, which are
to be edged with plain washing tulle, thus
presenting very snowy appearance. Black
velvet ribbon will lightly loop these downy
overgarments. Silk sleeves, TO correspond
with the underskirt, will be worn on all mus
Inns and lawn ecrus. Faille de VIchy has re-
appeared with plated frils and Valenclennes
borders. 1t is cool and neglige.
BRA1DING
is still the fashionable passetemps. Brown Hol-
land snits are enllvened by very pretty work,
the Russian stitch being preferred. Black
and colored spencera, Without sleeves, are
made of satin, and worn with driving toilets.
Carnations and peoples are the favorlte flow
ers, because they are not symbolic of party
feeling The loveliesE birds are worn on
pouffs OF lace for the head. They are the Coll
brl or the Jacobine, two very precious little
Warblere, and their throats shine like gems
under gaslIght. The ribbons worn for these
evening coitfures are pale Nile green, pale
opal blue, pale lemon or rose In the faintest
hues, mixed with maroon or black velvet.
LATEST STYLE OF JEwELRY.
The newest jewelry Is made Of Vesuvian
lava. Ladies' are just getting tired Of golden
chandeliers and lamps in their ears, and 1t is
fortunate something new has come up te
make their ears burn.
EICKNACKs.
Foulard Is still In favor In the raw tints and
for Pompadours.
Nuts. oats and the oak apple are to be worn
on plain straw bats.
Chlsnons fall en- cascade down the back and
ripple under waves Of lace, which tumble In
chaotic confusion from the top OF The new fiat
crowned hats.
. Mixed roses are the prettiest diadems for
solrees, the dark damask, yellow and China
rose being the three preferred. All have
trail for the chignon behind.
