Duste Of soft Hnished linen, with skirts
| of the same to wear over any dress, arc
convenient for travelling. The new striped
| linens, which initiate pongee and require no
stifeniug when laundried, are Of course
more acceptable than the stiff linens which
crease continually. Both canvas and ernani
grenadines are successfully inflated in linen
this year, bringing Into use new and very
useful variety Of summer toilets. The corn
shades and the natural gray of the flax are
preferred tints, as well as the almond buff;
and for trimming these is imported q gui-
pure lace of strong linen thread in the same
eolors. These neutral, natural tints are
also followed in the gloves of undressed
kid, which are stylish for demi-toilet. The
finish on the inside is perfect, so that the
hand slips easily into its place. The close
cuffs reaching nearly TO the elbow, Of elastic
kid that shapes and cliDgs to the arm, with
bat single button at the wrist. is admired
with loose sleeves. Fine calfskin

are seen, but even the positive colors
are SO soft that they do pot offend a nice
eye. A new fashionable color That looks
well with black for dress glove, is '1gosling"
caIlow tint, like that of young fowls just
from the shell. Flesh color, not the ugly
purplish pink so long known By that name,

stitching aud low broad heels will be worn
for promenade shoe, Ths side laced
boot of silk or fine lasting is the most ele

beauty of the foot; but the fine buttoned
aid boot is still the popular style. Striped

but these must be confined entirely to house
wear, with slippers. A growing extrava-
gance is noted in these, for abundance of
hosiery is imported of most delicate kinds,
at the rate of I've and six dollars the pair.
