Travelling Costumes.
Before entering upon the question
OF costumes to be worn at the seaside
it behooves me to say a word in re
gard to what we shall wear in going
thither; what indeed will be preva
lent and popular for travelling any
where. And here especially, have
the pleasure OF saying 81 told you so. ;

would by this time bring forth abnn-

new variation comes to light. All

ing brought into requisition. The
greater number are made with kilt
plated skirt, small apron or scarf like
drapery relieving the outline around
the hips, while the cut-away jacket
and vest give completion. Often too,
we find such scarf or apron finished
with embroidery, and the effect is
very pretty. Percale and gingham
costumes are also made in this way,
but not to the exclusion of a demi.

Sea Side Costumes.
The problem of how we shall get
to the sea side being settled, it comes
next in order to know how one shall
dress after reaching such destination.
The leading novelty in material is
very thin camel's hair cloth in white
and all pale shades. and Grape in sim.
liar hues is also very fashionable.
Open work batiste wrought in Grape
like patterns is made up into elegan t
polonalses to be worn over silk or
velvet underskirts. Some of these
are richly embroidered around the
edges and flushed with superb
f.lnges; the embroidery appearing
also OF course, on the corsaee and
sleeves. Grenadines in high and low
degree appear, and in such variety
that grandmother of seventy can
wear one, as appropriately as her
granddaughter of seventeen. The
former would Of course select the
plain woven in black, while the latter
would choose style so ornate as
scarce to seem grenadine. For we
have them wrought in all manner of
gay damasse and bourette tuftings.

parts of the country on application,
by the leading firm of J. G.. Johnston,
Broadway and Twenty Second SITS,
thus enabling ladies out of town to
make their purchases in New York as
advantageously as residents of the
city. They also have millinery and

dressy materials adapted to

and the like, We find that the greater
number are high neck and with
sleeves reaching to the wrist. The
Alexandra princess dress is a hand
some model for this style of dress.
But sometimes one does we'll to show
a pretty neck, and such a one may
therefore choose the Pompadour front
with elbow sleeves, and if one has a
well formed hand and arm, why there
is the long lace mitt either black, or
IN any color to match the dress. This
brings up the question of gloves for
Summer. For morning. there will be
o great demand for isle thread, and
so we see them brought out in great
variety--plain woven, open work, and
with embroidery on the outside. Lay
it to heart however that a glove OF
any kind in order to be stylish, must
be long on the wrist. This is as a
law of the Modes and Persjans which
admits OF no exception.
Shall it be
that an odious panier will again be
worn? thrust not, yet we have some
few imported dresses which being
made fuller at the back require such
addition. Let us hope they will fall
flat, for if there is an abomination in
my eyes, it is panier or anything
related TO the hustle family.
