In every deslraOIe cOlOr. very nlce |
| toilette 10 OF dark blue overlaid by tiny |
| cross-bars of cream color, the trimmings |
| of the dress being plain blue. A novelty !
in woolen materials is lacc-like fabric |
known as cashmere denteile. |
This is intended for polonaisess,
| to be worn over skirts of dark or bril- |
| liant-hued silks. The material Itself is |
pale blue, delicate rose. cream, light
bro wn and gray. The goods is wide, a.
most two yards, and though 1t COSTS
good deal per yard, makes not an expen,
sive garment and is both styhsh ana
pretty.
A favorite dress goods for this summer
will be the beautiful MexIcaines. Ihe
| tints to be found in them are exquisite,
and though Its price places 1t beyond the
reach of many, with those who can al
ford it, it is most popular. The SHADES
most used are pale rose, light blue, coral
pink and cream or ecru. with dellcate
nalr lines OF coral, gfeen, bronze, man
DARN, etc. 1t will be considered the
height OF fashion to combine these Mex
icaines in striking contrast, as cream
with cardinal red, rose and mandarin
and coral, and 30 on through every con-
oeivable combination.
In summer silks there is little that Is
new. One very pretty variety mas
dark ground with fine cards or lines
running perpendlcularly. These stripes
at short inlerVals are finely shaded,
tnus producing novel and pleasing
effect.
The most refreshing sight now are the
seemingly endless yards of COOL lawns,
lres h-lO king cambrics, dainty peroales,
and calIcues spread OUT in tempting ar
ray. There is nothing more attractive
in all this display Than are the Madras
cottons. They are nothing more nor
less than the od-time glngnam, Dul
their handsome finlsn, their lch anu
delicate hues, make them prominent
among other goods. For morning dresses
they make up cnarmlng,y. The taVorlte
col0rs are navy blue, cross-Darred Will
white, brown plaIded win white anu
cardinal, and a very pretty style snow
ing a ground OF clear dark green, BARI eu
with cardinal ana white. These Madras
clotns are in great IT qulsite ior morning
costumes at the seashore, as nelLnel
tempest nor sunshine nor the crisp salt
breeze can dim their brllliancy.
We are not to look with dlsdaln upon
callcoes, for now to such perfection oil
make and colorlng are they brought thai
: they are universally admired and made
up into the dantiest toiletLes lmagln-
Ible. A very preLLy calico has a ground
| of nayy-blue, over which are streWh
clusters of light blue blossoms bright
Tened by cardinal f-cks. IL 10 10 the
lIuen lawns, however, that the palm o.
5 Excellence ana beauty must be awarded.
| The finest variety comes from France,
e and this includes The beautiful organ
= dies. One exquisite organdie is fine
dlaphanous laUrlc of delicate pear,
unit, over which are scattered deep pink
a rosc-Duds with white foliage. A beau.
lilul organdy for half-mourning has ID
bordering of q delicate vine and droop.

The rage for yellow, which has taken
the form OF an eplIemic, and Is spread.
il lug daily, enters largely INTO lawns ana
n lavrics OF that ilk. One snowy variety
which will doubtless find many admir-
n ers, mas a ground Of pale tllleul, over
n which are streWn in rlcn proiueioh gor'
geous yellow roses and Urange-Dlo ssoms
win leaves of neutral Lints.
Percales and cambries may be had Il
