with a very deep corn-colored fiounce
and heading, gathered and placed at a
distance from the bottom of the train.
The front was covered, up to a little
above the middle of the length, by five
gathered founces-three of the corn
colored foulard and two of avery glossy
silk, checked green and red. These
founces fell over each other, and were
laid so that the plaid ones ap-
peared considerably shorter than the
others. The last founce was
headed by two standing fiounees. a
corn-colored one and Z plaid one. The
graceful tunic started from each side
and fell at the back only, where it was
caught up in an elaborate pouff by a
large plaid sash. At the left side this
tunic formed large single reUers, fin
ishing under the pouff, and fastened
with five large plaid buttons. The fou-
lard corsage was fastened with the same
style Of buttons, and was made with
fiat, pointed basques, perfectly plain
and open at the back and at each side.
This corsage was decollete en- chdlc and
enclrcled with a standing collar Of
white muslin. A plaid scarf was
COQUETTIsHLY ROLLED
round the neck below the collar, and
then hidden underneath the eorsage,
allowing only the ends to appear under
meath the front basques. The foulard
sleeves were made tight to the arm, and
were ornamented with three falling
iounces and two standing ones, parted
by a brace of plaid silk. Three of
| these five hounceS were made ont of
the corn-oolored foulard, and two of
plated muslin. The original and CO.
quettish style of this toilette caused It
to be much admired, as was also the
Louis XIV. bonnet which was worn
with 1T This bonnet Of white straw
had a small crown and high standing
brim tlIyGUte, and lined with a plaid
| scarf, which finished at the back in
large and tasteful bow. On the left
side glistened q silver thistle. which
held long white feather. crossing the
bonnet from left 10 tight. Another
elegant toilet was made of Indian Su-
rah, striped white and pink, and of
rose-colored taffetas silk. The Surah
underskirt was Ornamented with seven
tuydute tiOunces of graduated length,
cut bias and falling over each other. A
tuydute heading was laid above the last
tiounce. a deep gathered founce, also
cut bias, finished the back Of the skirt,
which was formed by FIVE large bouiI-
tonnes, laid lengthways. and reaching
up to the waist. The boudloaRes fell
over the gathered founce in the shape
of large round scallops, encircled by
rich white gUipure insertion, embroid-
cred with white jet pearls and by a
deep rOse-polored silk fringe. The
guipure insertion continued round
the boHillORRes up to the waist.
Over this underskirt fell a small tu-
Me Of rose-cOlored taffetas, silk edged,
with a row Of the embroidered inser-
ton laid above a deep rose colored silk
fringe, This tunic was quite short in
front, and gradually increasedin length
towards the back, where 1t was open,
and tied carelessly In a bow with two
long ends. The taffetas corsage was
made with fat basques, lined with
Surah, and orramentedw with fringe and
with 4 guipure insertion. These bas-
ques were made short and pointed in
front, while a single long, square
basque ornamented the back, the side
basques being turned on this one in
large double reUers, laid so as to show
the Surab lining. i Surah standing
collar, of
A VERY PRETTY STYLE,
also ornamented the corsage. The col
lar finished In front in cOquettish reUers,
while at the back it formed really
graceful drapery, enriched as well as
the reUers, with the fringe and insef-
ton. The taffetas sleeves were made
tight TO the arm, and were finished
with four tUyGUte iounces and a head
ing of the Surah, over which a row of
the guipure insertion and of the fringe
was laid, so as to initiate large TeUeTS.
This rich and tasteful toilette was fin
ished by becoming bonnet of white
guIpure lace, embroidered with white
jet, and encircled by wreath of moss
roses, held at the back by large rose
colOred bow. Oxford linen dresses
of all colors, Ornamented with white
laces or with laces to match,
were both plentiful and pretty.
l have seen one of this kind, striped
white and blue, and covered with pro-
fusion of cherTy-cOlOred bows, which
were really charming. An apricot
colored faille dress was greatly admired.
l. was Ornamented with deep founce,
plated in plaits, increasing in width as
they reached towards the back. On
the tdbLier two large bouiIlonnes. falling
over each other headed the founce and
reached almost up to the waist. The
graceful tunic was simply edged with a
row of Bruges lace. 1t was caught up
at each side and at the back by a wide
sash Of green faille, which started from
the sides of the waist and was tied
under the pouff in a large bow with two
long ends. The tunic was made quite
snort in front and very long at the back,
and was turned up at the sides in revers,
lined with green faille; but these
revers, instead Of continuing to the
pouff, as they usually do, were turned
up upon themselves. so as to show the
apricot-colored side, and to partly
cover the sash, which caught up the |
pOuff. The basques of the corsage were |
lined with green faille and edged with
Bruges lace; they were made square
and fiat in front, and pointed and
pleated at the back. Astanding collar
encircled the neck, one plat being
made out of the apricot-colored faille |
and the other of the green faille. This |
collar continued IN front in TeUers of !
the same style as those of the tunic.
Similar reUers, but a great deal larger, |
Ornamented the sleeves, which were !
frightened at the elbow by tOrsade and |
bow of green faille. This tasteful toll |
cite was completed by Trianon bon
net Of white straw, Ornamented with a
long apricot-colored feather and bows |
of green faille
