worn, with both bonnets and hats.
The prettiest design for hats re-
mains the gypsy with close-fitting
brim and ornamentation around the
crown.
The Louis Quinze vest is very
much worn with the corsage, with
tightly buttoned front, and pockets
with deep square tabs.
Scallops and embroidery, or ma
chine braiding are favorite crnamen-
tations for children's wardrobes.
Absence of superhuous trimming
and ballon-l like pufery, is a crafty
ing and distinguishable feature of
the new designs of the season.
Suits Of black silk are much in IA
vor for the promenade, and are rich
ly trimmed with black velvet and
lace.
Dresses of pale fawn co,or, trim
med with golden and darker shade
of brown, are very tasteful and mod
est.
Irish and French poplins are al
ways elegant and popular, and some
of the most recherche costumes of
the season are made of these pop
Inns.
Small linen collars, with colored
stripes, and plated cambria collars,
edged with Valeneiennes lace, will
be fashionable with morning toll
cites.
The most elegant wedding suits
are of white satin, with plain skirt,
heart shaped waist, simply, but
richly ornamented with rare laceand
demi- Grecian sleeves. &c
New sashes and neck ties to match
are made of square-meshed, thin ar
mure silk, with an embossed figure
in the pointed ends, and most elab-
crate tassel frisge below. -.
The Everett" suit for boys from
six to eight, consists of a pleated
linen or cambric waist, to which the
pants are attached, with an open
over jacket of Scotch tweed, with
turn down collar.
The "Minerva" sleeve is q. close
semi-fitting coal sleeve, trimmed at
the wrist with two rows of ruffling,
downWards and upwards, divided
with bias band, or one of velvet.
When Grape wells are worn over
the face one end is gathered around
the bonnet, and the sides are caught
together behind by a jet pin, making
the veil hang smooth and close to
the sides and face.
The general favorite for sum
shades is the silk umbrella, of thick
dark silk, with stick mounted with
ivory and shell, and provided with 8
chatelaine chain, and silver shield
for 8 monogram.
For girls from six to twelve the
sLaurap suit, consisting of skirt
and polonaise, the latter semi fitting,
belted and slightly draped, and the
'Blouse, are recommended for com
fort, ease, and picturesque design.
Silver combs are to be worn as
well as those of tortoise shell and
black rubber. These cobs are all
very large, in the Spanish style, and
correspond wonderfully well with
the Trianon fan.
In the wooden goods, the beauti-
full cashmeres of course take the
Head. The Jacquaid chasmere is 0
quite new article, with black or 9th
er colors for groundwork, upon
which dainty Trianon patterns are
embroidered in silk.
Fans have taken the most extra
ordinary dimensions and carry one
back to the sixteenth century when
fathers and mothers we're wont to
punish, their disobedient daughters
with strokes huge fans of that day.
The latest caprice in fans is the
Trianon, whose sticks measure five.
eighth of a yard in length. Some OF
these fans are very elegant being Of
either black or white satin, with a
bouquet Of flowers painted upon the
right side.
For very young gentlemen, who
have not yet attained the dignity Of
trowsers, the "Carr suit is quite at
tractive. This consist of loose
sailor blouse, and a kilt pleated shirt,
Twilled flannel is an excellent ma
terial for this suit for cool weather,
and linen for summer wear.
Turquoise silk, crepe de Chine,
black lace, black and white straw,
and white chip, form the favorite
materials for the construction OF
spring bonnets, which together with
hats are more simply trimmed than
in past season, corresponding well
with the new costums.
Solid gold jewelry, embellished
with colored golds of green and yel-
low is a new invention, and in novel
desigus of cup-shaped roseattes,
handsomely chased, is so beautiful
and becoming that lovers of jewelry
cannot fail to admire and popular
ize it.
The basque and the Josephine
corsage are fayorites for wedding
costumes, and orange blossom faille,
white ottoman silk, embroidered
muslin, and blame mat are the most
popular materials for bridal, and
Chamb'ery gauze for bridesmaids
dresses, Couture and corsage boz
quets of orange blossoms, and wells

lette accessories with costumes of
