TIE FOLLOWING COSTUMES RECOMMEND THEM"
SELVES:
An exquisitcly simple, but attractive, dress
has narrow rutlle placed unon the hem, and over
this falls deep, scalloncd founce, borcercd WITH
fringe. The oycr,lress stimulates y double skirt
by means Of two rows OF wide tres5 braid Ihis
is arranged diagouclly across the front, and
from the lower edge OF each row depends heavy,
crilnpcd fringe The straight breadth at the
waist, and Is trimmed with fringe around the
bottom.
An extremely graceful costume is one that BY
the absence Of supcrhuous draperies is most
appropriate for ladies' OF short, stout figures
Tho front is closed with buttons and button
holes, and 4 handsome lit is secured by darts,
the second OF which extends to the bottom OF
tho garment Below the waist is q double box
pleat, and the drapery is so slight us
,lat to be almost lmperessptbc: An elaborate rate
appearance of plainness. Three bands Of silk
and q narrow gathered ruff]c supply an appro-
PIRATE garniturc. An ovcrskirt at once grace-
full and novel is one having the drapery at the
back achieved by means Of uptt,rncd pleats. 1t
is open its entire length, and ornarnented with
broad sashcs Of some contrasting color IN silk.
Rich garniturcs OF braid and fringe, or passe-
menterie, and the latter complete an elegant
garment. Another stylish oyertrcss, and one
pleats at both sides 81 the apron front, thus Sc
curing graceful disposition of the goods at
this point. The back oyegfaps the front, and
the joining is concealed BY embroidered bands,
edged on both sides with triuge. Bias bands Of
velvet and narrow side pieating form hand
some finish at the bottom.
IN MILLINERY,
the same styles with but little variation still
exist. The steeple crown remains in unabated
favor. The most difficult: thihG with the new
lleadgear is to decide whether any particular
one is d hat or bonnet. The most becoming
and popular shapes are those susceptible OF be-
ing made either. Among these much-admired
hat is the 'tClytie," the crown Of which slopes
ut the back, having no separate britn, while at
front deeply-maFked bend plainly shows the
two parts. This shape is equally charming when
worn either over the forehead, or back upon the
head as a bonnet. A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS hat is
one having d crown Of fine French felt, and .
beaver brim. 1t costs somewhat more than oil
felt docs, but is we'll adapted Tor wear With
lressY toilettes. 4 fashionable and favorite
garniture consists OF a twisted roll Of silk or
velvet with cluster Of loops to the left OF the
crown, and a bunch OF feathers, either stiff or
pliable, held in place BY Il steel buckle. Plush
is much used upon beaver and felt hats, and is
an agreeable substitution for velvet and SIX.
III pale rose 1t is much admired for combination
with black, seal-brown, prune, and dark green.
Cardinal red is still popular, and it is surprising
how becoming judicious intermingltng OF it Is
to nearly every face. A lovely hat OF the
"Clytic" shape has the crown covered
rows Of shirrs SO disposed that one side Is ur~
ranged in fan shape, while the other presents
irrcgularpnfling held lin form by occasional unseen
stitches. Low on the right side and at the
back Of the crown are two ostrich tips OF the
rich shade of the velvet. Inside Of the briHl Is
