There has never been season when
novelties In dress goods, In hats, In
confecti0ns for the head and neck, have
continued to arrive, week after week,
as this.
| Usually, after juno has passed, we
settle down with the conviction that
there will be nothing new until the,
change OF seasons, and that nobody can
be better dressed than ourselves. But
this season we are constantly having our
envy and delight brought out, by seeing
the lovellest OF fabrics, with unpro-
4 nounceable names, intended for over
dresses and parts Of costumes.
| The loveliest OF hats, with trimmings
too beautiful to ever have been imag
ined before, and shapes that give every
one the wish for O Madonna face, that
! they they may be able TO wear just SHoh

again, they come In llama lace, long and
full, to be draped TO please ones isaCy
and the price is 80 astonishin9ly fow

closes. 500 will purchase q beastg b a

! Other laces, In both real and hamn,
are nprecedentedIy low. and beostsAe,
we suppose, 80 few persons hava money
to purchase therefore, as usual, the
choice bargains fall into the hands Of
those who can purchase at any essns
and under all circumstances. ts
| Fichus seem to be getting q necessary
part OF ones dress. But few mnslins
or grenadines are made without one,
and young and old, stout and ieaA, tall
and short, all wear the fichu.
Cambrics are as great favOrite5 as
ever, and new pattern, mentioned In
the last "chat," is ever 30 stylish for
them. Nearly all the cambrics, this
season, are made Of two kiads-the
stripe or check, and plain. The fancy
now Is to make the skirt of the stripe
or check: and knife pleating, headed
by bias band, holds Its own AZ 4 IA
vorite finish. The oversklrt and basque
are OF plain cambric, trimmed with
bands OF the other. II stripe, II IL put
on lengthwise, 30 that the trimntna
looks like alternate rows OF braid. The
overskirt itself is q lovely design. It ls
soft pouf, and the left side Is 80 drsped
that it falls In q long. sharp point. A
chatelaine pocket Is made Of the stripe,
suspended by two straps OF the same,
and finished at the bottom with broad
bow and end OF the same. The corset
basque is OF the plain, with bands OF
the other following each seam. The
sleeves are Of the stripe, with pretty
cuff of the same. This corset baSque
is tight-fittinY, and wo advise ltd being
made without lining, especially Tor
wash goods, as goods OF this kind
never shrink equally In washing. A

Cream, rose and pale blue fonlardS
and pongees, are imported for evening
dresses. These are embroidered, and
are among the prettiest OF the pretty
new importations.
We are pleased to see how little fuss
