FASHION NOTES.


A very pretty outfit made for Saratoga III
climbed in it's list q lovely toilet Of white linen
lawn trimmed with white hand embroidery
and bows of dark olive and pale blue ribbon
An evening dress was of cream white CASE
line, which Is very delicate kind Of bunting
as fine as barege. This was made as prln-
cesse, with small-sized paners and demi-
train. The trimming consisted of bands OF
Indian embroidery and bows of crimson and
gold-eolored satin ribbon. The bodice Was cut
square, and the sleeve reached only to the
elbow. Both were finished with rufIles Of old
lace.
A dress for garden party was Of pale blue
lawn made nearly short, with a kilt-pla1ted
hounce a round bodice and little ichu knot
ted in front. The trimming was wide Va
Tenderness lace placed upright on D short
overskrt, which was turned up and tied back

A stylish black grenadine costume presented
several novel features. The deni-train sklrs
finished with a box-paited tlounce was or
black satin, the poonaise was striped with
satin and trimmed down the front with q
| double cascade of black Spanish and white
| Valeneiennes lace, In the shells OF which were
placed narrow black satin bows. The back
| had O. peculiar lacing Of black satin pipings
and loops which formed an ornament upon
the drapery below the waist line.
great deal OF distinction is given TO sum-
mer toilets by the use Of masses OF vide
tOrchOn and wide Valenciennes lace This
must not be confounded with the narrow
patent edgngs which are used to finish the
ruffles OF shop-made dresses. The distinction
between the one and the other is too marked
for comparison.
A lovely wrapper belonging to the same
outfit was of purely Gabrielle cut, and made
of fine white linen lawn, trimmed with q cas~
aoIn Of O faipatp what
known as the Pompadour torchon lace. There
were no ribbons upon this dress. The outlines
we're traced in exquisite needle work, and Lace
ruffIes Ornamented the sleeves which we're
| only dem-long and quite narrow: the neeks@
| which closed ut the throat, and tho pockets
| The whole effect was wonderfully soft, be-
cause unbroken by any interpolated lines De
! COlOring.
For walking dress there was pretty, pale
mastc-colored depige, with no trimming save
ppings Of silk Of the same shade, and ruffts
OF white real lace, with square ends ut the
| throat. This was accompanied by hat OF
soft mastlc-colored chip tr1mmed with SATIN
of precisely the same shade, and q small
wreath OF pale, nearly white, splrea. s
One of the great essentials to pleasant
summer dressing is proper underwear, aud
there is no garment so entirely comfortable
and protective in ell respects as the new CONS
bination Of drawers with Chense cut Ia one
after the prncesse models. By the use OF
this garment one not only gets rid Of tbs
skirt OF the chemise, which Is unnecessary
when O. short skirt is worn, out all supeffiu-
Gus fullness in the top OF the drawers, thus
preserving the outlines OF the figure, SO that
The outside dress can be fitted with lnuch
greater nicety. On q warm day at nome
nothing is more necessary than q cool gar

Southern climates and in tropical regiouss
where every atom OF additional weight Is o.
burden, this method Of dressing III summer
will certainly be adopted as soon as IL ~
fr,,ii
are supposed to be, there are days In summer
when they are intoerable, aud dress which
is light and cool, which does not bind at thel
waist which does not touch with any sense

THE REVIVAL OF WHITE BAREGE
One of the subjects for congratulation is I'll II
, revival of barege for evening dresses and fol
occasions when q thin material is suitable
At present it is confined almost exclusively
to white and very pale gray or ma5tle t1nts.s
white satin. The satin is not used for pipings
but for folds, bows and bands. The neck and
sleeves are finished with very fine and narrovs
, plaitings Of the barege and INTENTIONALLY WITH
Scant ruffleS OF ValenCiennes lace.
The preference for white toilets is Of
, marked as ever, and, in fact, there Is n0thIn
which can be made so effective, whether tue
= fabric be simple or costly. The cream-cof0Tedl
) gasoline is q good substitute for barege, Ess
cause, although not quite 80 thin, it Is fullss
| as soft and much more durable. Both gaSaa
t line and barege make exquisite evening"
| dresses for young ladies' more suitable Ell
e well as more becoming than white silk, baA
