FASHION CHATS WITH THE LADIES.

with grenadines.
Elbow sleeves of figured lace are
worn with evening dresses. s,
The polonaise most used by young
girls is of the Marquis shape, cut long.
Ribbons are almost universally worn
for small points of trimming and finish.
overdresses for evening and dinner
wear are made of the new Breton lace
material.
There is a fancy for wearing plain
skirts of rich material with noticeably
short overskirts. rs fr. +,
Sashes are revived. They are sewed
in the side body seams in the back, and
tied in a large bow knot.
Basques for the streets and for trav-
cling are long, and have real vests or
false vests outlined by trimming. la
An entirely new. apron overskirt is
sharply pointed in the center, and shir-
red at intervals across its breadth.
The overskirt most liked for wooden
and wash dresses has a deep apron
front, simply hemmed, and a long drap-
ed back.
Black satin jackets without sleeves,
and having a scarf of China Grape drap-
ed around the shoulders, are shown
for summer wear. {.
Sleeves are now made to at the arm
tightly, the latest styles showing the
arm above the elbow fitted as tightly as
the waist or shoulders. f.
Lace goods are very cheap; they are
sure to be wanted on almost every oc-
casion while you are enjoying the
charms of bon ton ~rusticating.
The fancy for draping the ful1ness of
overskirts very high is bringing round
waists into prominence again, as the
tails of basques conceal such drapery.
Basques and polonaises that button
behind have been replaced by vest gar
ments that must be fastened in front,
or else by those that lap in double
breasted fashion.
Deep apron overskirts remain in ia
vor, Notwithstanding the Introduction
of shorter aprons. Their style depends
on their simple drapery, and in a meas-
ure on their plainness.
Cream-white muslin scarfs are twist
ed around the crowns of some round
hats, and allowed to hang at the back.
When needed, the floating ends are
drawn over the face as wells.
When the fat basques of last season
are to be renovated, a full effect is some
times given them by putting on panier
sashes of wide ribbon, or of satin, or
bias silk, or China Grape.
III mourning all gold jewelry is laid
aside. If it is thought diamond ear
rings must be worn, in order to protect
them, they are inclosed in a ball of
black enamel that hides them entirely.
The latest fancy in silk for summer
wear is found in foulard, which comes
in fancy stripes and a printed brocaded
design Of tiny brilliant blossoms scat
tered in wild confusion on pale grounds.
Corsages are varied in detail, scarce
ly any two being alike. All basques
are shorter except those that are cut in
English coat shape, to serve as a street
garment without an extra wrapping.
Shirred sashes forming a drapery
across the front of the costume, having
the upper edges passed under the bod
ice, appear to meet with general favor.
This mode is exceedingly artistic and
admirably suited to all figures.
Bingham dresses are made with a
cool neglige corsage that hangs loose
like a sacque in front, while the back
has a yoke with plaits extending to the
end, and held in place by an ulster belt
that begins in the side seams, and but
tons in the middle of the back.
Silk painting is turned to account in
various ways. A painted silk dress is
exquisite; SO are fans; the ends of sashes
and neckties are very pretty when paint
ed with suitable flowers. On a cushion
a color is apt to wear off, but for ban
ner screens it is very suitable.
The most elegant style Of dress seen
at the recent races in Paris was the
parabire costume, recently introduced
by two leading dressmakers in that
city. It is of any material and has al
ways three Aounces in front and paniers
at the back; sometimes these paniers
are in one with the bodice. and some
times they are fastened on the skirt.
