I'LL Clc new SIlduoS OIL gray, uTdD anu
tilleul. The peculiarities in these goods
are the alterations of solid and lace
work squares and diamonds. 1t is very
durable and combines most effectively
with silk. Persian damasse and Rayare
q Alger are new suitings intended for
FULL dress costumes The first is quite
foreign in appearance, showing raised
figures in the fashionable bright colors,
on pale, delicate silk ground. It is
twenty-four inches wide and $3.50 per
yard Mexicaine grenadines are new
and pretty, and the ''Algerines" intro
duced are in Bayadere stripes, and are
all high-priced.
American 81 ks, plain and striped, are
in extensive demand, and the "Grand
Opera" make of black cashmere is sup
plying numberless Breton suits. The
latter is considered one of the best brands
in cashmere, being of such even thread,
and combines and Grapes very hand
somely.
LINEN SUITS
Plain linen dresses in dark blue and
brown are trimmed with embroidery in
white or color of the linen. The con-
trast in embroidery is less striking than
last year, and costumes, therefore, in
better taste. They are very lady like
and modest appearing when trimmed
with fine knife plaitings and bands of
embroidery, and as they can be worn an
entire season without "doing up" the
plaitings are not Objectionable. A cot
ton suit in Bingham or percale is an in
spiration worthy of the age for summer
country wear. It is simple, easily made,
inexpensive and tasteful, and nothing
can be better imagined than a costume at
once so light, cool and convenient 1t is
q dress for indoors or out of doors. A
bow at the throat brightens it, and trim
ming may consist of one or more plated
founces for the button of its skirt and a
bias fold and plating, or edging of
Smyrna lace, or only a fold of the ma
terial.
Artistic shading, combinations and eff
fects which may be obtained in cotton
are somewhat marvellous compared with
single detached figure and bald, bare
blocks of few years ago. The most
fastidious taste may be satisfied now
with a cotton suit.
MILLINERY.
A few novelties in these goods have
presented themselves, among which is
the summer plush. The right side has
rippled appearance and the wrong sideis
gauze. Armenia silk is new fabric of
chenille and silk, but the gros de Suez
and turquoise silks are 50 fine and soft in
texture that they will continue to be the
favorites for trimming. The new cameo
pink shade forms a pretty contrast with
tilleul.
The fronts of bonnets are worn close to
the head, but many variations are seen in
the crown. An exceedingly stylish
shape just out is introduced in straw,
very wide braid, and has a large, fiat
crown. The predominant carriage and
coaching hat of the season is the Tally
Ho." Two or three houses have intro
duced hat of this name, but the pref
tHest and real Tally Ho'' is a Panama
straw, tastefully trimmed with gauze
scarf or fold of silk and feathers, and
some Of them have small flower garden
arranged artistically npon the inside of
the brim as it rolls up at the side. 1t is
a pretty hat for croquet, seaside or
mountain climbing.
A very dressy and beautiful bonnet is
composed entirely of flowers, and intro
duced in Paris at summer fetes. This is
just the thing for Saratoga. 1t is not
bonnet practically useful, for it cannot
be worn with any but elegant toilets;
should be seen only in the drawing room,
carriage, or at receptions.
Trailing arbutus, primroses and snow
balls are just now the favorite flowers,
and for face trimming tulle ruches di-
vide the honors with travelled ruches of
satin. The two are often combined, and
a bow or two loops and fringed ends is
now placed Immediately above the fore
head. A very odd and pretty bonnet
was recently seen Of Tuscan braid, trim
med with wide black satin ribbon, edged
on one side with half inch width Of
yellow and red satin. A half wreath Of
red and white currants, with foliage,
ornamented one side of the bonnet, while
long strings of the ribbon were tied in
a bow under the chin.-N Y Herald.
