TRAVELLING COSTUMES.
Before entering upon the question
Of costumes to be worn at the seaside,
it behooves me to say word in regard
to what we shall wear in going thith-
er: what indeed will be prevalent and
for travelling anywhere. And
here, especially, have the pleasureof
saying Il told you so.' 1 knew that
the idea Of short costumes, planted
somewhat timidly last fall, would by
this time bring forth abundant harvest,
and it has been so. Upon them chang
es are being necessarily made, and ev-
cry days almost, some new variation |
comes to light All manner of mate |
rial, furthermore, is beinghrought 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
cutaway jacket and vest give compile
ton. Often too we find such scarf or
apron finished with embroidery, and
the effect is very pretty. Percale and
bingham costumes are also made in
this way, but not to the exclusion of
demi-trained skirt trimmed with
fiounces or knife plaitings and round
overskirt above. The LdnSuse or wash
erwoman's overskirt is designed espe-
cially as part of a short costume, and
it is very tasteful. AS a walking or
travelling costume for girls from twelve
to sixteen years of age, the Victoria
Princess dress is extremely pretty
convenient, also, as iG can be- made up
in all kinds of dress materials, and is
unusually well adapted to a combina-
ton of colors or materials. For travel
ing, driving, etc., the larrick Ulster,
with double larrick collar is stylish
and practical, as il is suited to light
cloth, waterproof or linen.
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 cancels hair cloth, in white and
| all pale shades, and Grape in similar
hues is also very fashionable. Open
work batiste wrought in Grape like pat
| terms is made up into elegant polonaises
| to be worn over silk or velvet under
| skirts. Some of these are richly en-
| broidered around the edges and finish
ed with superb fringes, the embroidery
| appearing also, of course, on the cor
sage and sleeves. Grenadines in high
and low degree appear, and in such
| variety that q grandmother of seventy
can wear one as appropriately as heI
granddaughter of sixteen. The for
mer would of course select the plain
woven in black, while the latter would
choose 8 style so ornate as scarce tt
seem grenadine. For we have then
wrought in all manner of gay damasse
and bourette tuftings, and in every
combination of color, from the deli.

reflections of every rainbow hue
Samples of all new materials are for
