This publication has become indispensa-
BILE in almost every household, for no lady
can know exactly what is proper to wear
during the month without consulting its
pages. Here, tor instance, is law as abso-

Three things are indispensable to sum
mer's outfit One is small umbrella which
is suspended 10y cAdteI0in from the belt, in
all travelling and excursion toilets; another is
one or more wide, handsome sashes; and a
third, plenty of black lace in the shape of
Nolonaise, scarts, neckties and the like. The
black lace polOnaise is the garment par ercet-
leJlce in black lace this season, and is charm.
ing worn over princess" or what is called
in Paris toulYeaH dress of light chene silk.
Lace shawls may also be prettily draped over
these dresses.

cut at Saratoga OF Long Branch without this
information,
