m~arvelously coquettish gray satteen polo
naise, all covered with the gayest Of posies
and wanderingv wines. The waist iscut heart

little kerchief Of finest swiss, all fluffy with
Breton lace. Quantities of ribbon bows,
involving all the colors contained in the
polonaise, are dotted about among the
folds Of drapery, on the bosom, the pockets,
and wherever a bow can be placed.
Among the new goods are jardiniere sat.
teens, iardiniere twilled cretonnes, monte
cloths with little boquets printed upon
them, and Pompadour lawnsand organdies,
then there are dark blue linens, piped,
when made up, with red or amber,
and iardiniere linens, wherein lovely
flowers, painted as with an artists
brush, and vines wander. All Of these
beautiful cotton and linen fabrics
closely initiate the Pompadour foulards
which form so important an accessory to
dress. These coquettish costumes are
trimmed with lace, fine embroideries and
loopsof ribbons, embodyingseveral shades,
as narcisse yellow, with cream and Sevres
blue, ecru with olive and garnet, mastiC
gray, tea.rose color and pomegranate pink;
citron, poppy-red and black. The panier
overskirt is seen in these styles made with
two curves in front; one reaches quite low,
and is carried high up as far as the hips;
the other curve Is placed on each side Of
the opening of the lower part. These are
also gracefully draped back. A pretty
effect is shown by the addition OF lrills Of
knife.plaitings or on thin materials Of
gathered frills Of Breton lace. There are
1ounces shirred or plated on the back.
The waist is open in heart or V-shape, and
is also shirred. The elbow sleeves arc
finished with frills to match, and long lace
mittens reaching TO the elbow, and O
charming Pinafore Leghorn hat complete:
a quaint and piquant ensemble.
One OF Worth's triumphs in house dress
is q Vatican costume OF ivory-tinted foul

A great deal of Breton lace trims the
whole dress in double plaitings. The
back OF the skirt is draped, forming two
full putis, and 9 falling mass Of drapery
