In Harper's Basar of August s, we find
the follow mig:
JUNE ovER-DREssEs.
Juive tunics of white organdy or OF
Swiss muslin are much worn at the wa
tering-places as part of evening toilettes.
They are made of alternate stripes of
Valenciennes insertion and puffs, or OF
tucks with Swiss embroidered insertion,
and are edged with lace; still palmer ones
are entirely of muslin, bordered with q
pleated frill, edged with lace and headed
by puffs that are studded with bows.
They are worn over evening silks, black
silk, grenadine, gauze, and are sometimes
seen with blue or rose batiste dresses be-
meath them.
BLOUSE PoLoNAIsEs.
The blouse polonaise, made loose, an |
worn with belt, has reappeared in Paris
as part OF summer dresses. 1t is made
very full and long, and is seen especially
in black and cream colored net trimmed
with lace. These are for day dresses,
while for evening and the house they are
made Of organdy muslin and Mechlin or
Valenciennes insertion. Small three.
cornered fchus or half handkerchief of
the material are worn close about the
neck with these blouses. The soft wool
stuffs worn at the seaside, such as Angors
cloth and csmels.hair, are made up with
polonaises that have blouse fronts, while
the back Is of Marguerite form, closely
fitted by five long seams from the shout
ders, or else the princesse black, with Its
kllt-pleating is used.
SEASIDE SUITS.
Fashionable modistes are making sea-
side suits of the cream white Angora
cloth, which is the finest wool fleece
known, is said TO DO as cool as muslin,
and, owing to its soft texture, it Grapes
most beautifully. The costume consists
of princesse overdress, with kilt.plested
back, and long vest front trimmed
with rows of the fashionable Smyrna
lace. To brighten up this delicate white
dress are square bows of cardinal red gros
grain ribbon down the front Of the over
dress, on the square side pockets, and be-
hind, where the pleats meet the Marguer-
tie waist. Others take the form OF habits,
with long Franklin vests striped with
bands OF embroidered galloon ofpale blue,
violet, or cardinal red. Tho skirt escapes
the ground, and has single deep pleat-
ing edged.with Smyrna lace.
The cross. barred grenadians are also in
favor for sea side resorts, as they do not
lose their stiffness, as starched muslins
are apt TO do when exposed to damp sea-
breezes. Instead Of plain black grena-
dine, those with hne bars of white cross.
ing the goods each way are considered
most stylish. They are made up with
plain black silk foundations, on which are
alternate pleated and gathered dounces,
with the front bresdths draped TO form
two or three aprons. The basque is lined
with silk and trimmed with lace.
The fancy for black with white is also
shown in the pretty pineapple dresses
trimmed with Mechlin or with Vslen-
Glen mes lace. One of the most tasteful
shown is an imported dress OF black and
white checked pineapple cloth, as thin
AMI cool as gsuze, and worn over white
muslin skirts, instead of the silk founda.
ton that grenadines require. The pleat-
ed waist extends below the belt, is point.
ed deeply on the side and is edged with
Vslenciennes lace. Tie deep round over
skirt has lace-edged pleating, and there
are two similar pleatings on the lower
skirt. Poppy red gros grain bows are
worn at the throat'and on the wrists. The
bat is of white chip, with black gauze and
peoples, both red and black, for trim
ming. The combination Of white, black
and dark red is effective and handsome,
and is found to be becoming to brunettes
and blondes alike.
