reach to the waist indeed, some barely fall
below tho Shoulders. Almost every LADY
possesses at least one made Of black Indian
cashmere, covered with alternate rows OF dead
and brilliant ma1about fringe, which fringe
also goes by the name Of "copeau" and Is
made of crimped silk braid. There is newer
fringe for the same purpose, which mas
feathery effect, and is made OF untWlsted
chenille; but it is more costly. Russian en-
broidery on ecru linen is much used for trim
ming summer dresses, and very thin mate
rails are ornamented with small ruches, in
which Valenciennes lace is introduced. The
Russian embroideries are varied, but always
of bright colors, such as red and blue, mixed
with yellow and moss-green; and they are
sold in bands of different widths. Some very
wide bands are intended for the laveuse tu-
mics, now so popular, the narrower bands be-
ing used for tasques and sleeve trimmings.
The Louis XIII. flot bows, made OF double
ace or reversible satin ribbon, are now SOLD
ready made. These tlots or clusters OF hang
ing loops are fastened at the throat, at the
top of the back, on the pocket at one side,Iand
at the edge of the laveuse tWnic at the other
side. The most effective are made OF narrow
satin ribbon, which is dark on one side and
| light on the other. and bows Of two colors are
the prettiest-cardinal and black, navy blue
and cardinal turquoise blue and ,,carmelite,
prune and straw color, moss green and blue,
gray and carmine, etc.; black satin riots are
also sold ready made, for CONNECTIONS and Tor
black dresses.
Mittens are again worn at small summer
reunions. They are made in fine netting
with white, or pearly white silk, and TRIM
med with darker color or in point a pa1g-
mile, or in black aChantilly lace; and with
lace mittens the black velvet bracelets fast
ened with large buckles of paste diamonds
arc again reappearing. These were fashion
able during Louis XV.'s reign, when elastic
was unknown, for such bracelets, besides
being ornamental, are most useful IN keep
ing mittens in place. Stockings, with Valen'
ciennes lace, let in down the center or at the
side, are now considered
EXTREMELY ELEGANT;
for black silk stockings Chantllly lace is IN
troduced in a similar manner In shoes, the
Charles X form, with strap across the in
step, remains the favorite, and the strap is
|
button or a small buckle. For evening wear
kid shoes to match the dress are fashionable
bronze kid is now exclusively reserved fc
boots Some ezeg1nteS emOroider their mono
grams or coronets on their shoes and NIT
tens. The most costly parasol handles ar
affected this season; elaborate Chimes
carved ivory handles, old Dresden handles
Jade, lapis lazuli handles are all to be seen
and some are encrusted with precious stones
Young girls are dressed very simply thi
) summer, although the strictest attention i
paid to the accessories of their toilets. Stock
IN gs match in color their shovt costumes, a
the strapped shoes now permit hosieryto b.
visible Killed skirts are much worn, tn
plaits turned one way, and faced around tn
hem with crinoline lawn. For morning Wea
the yoke blouse and laveuse tunic are yer,
generally adopted; below the y oke there is
plated basque, and waistband is worn. Thu
yokes are usually trimmed, which adds mucl
to their effect, and this trimming may be turn
ed upward toward the collar or down toward
the belt, according to fancy. Thus pink
blue, or cream-colored lawn yoke will have
symrna lace or Madeira edgmg, with thu
scolloped edge turred upward;a barred ging
ham will have band of sOlid-colored per
Gale around the yoke; blue, ecru, or gra.
bunting will have three rows Of white braid
or else one broad row; cashmere Or camePs
hair of olive brown will have shaded oliv'
and blueembroidery, with the scolloped edges
turned down; AID a checked silk yoke will
have plated frill, or d tiny pinked frill gath
cred in the middle. The edge of the basque
and sleeves are trimmed to match the yoke
and the same is also seen on the upper edg
os the turned-up band on ,.
THE LAvEUsE OVERSIGHT
This overskirt is especially pretty for girl
dresses, and is also very fashionable for ladies
The front breadth is cut so broad that sid
cores are not used, as many seams would in
terfere with the shape of the turned-up BAN
when the material is like on both sides, an
permits it to be merely turned up instead Q
being cut off, turned on the other side an
sewed to the button of the overskirt. If
difficult material is used for this band it
more effective, and is then simply faced o.
the outerside of the apron. The back Dreadt
: may hang plain, but is more fanciful if tied b
drapery. The turned.up band is sometime
), extended across the back widths also; whe
it is confined to the front breadth, the trim
ming at the top should extend Gown the side
of the band. The round skirt has but one sid
gore and full back breadth. It should han
: evenly all around without dipping in tn
I. back. The plated founces are more dress
u when trimmed to match the other parts of tn
