Blondes should wear delicate colors.
Broad-sole shoes are stylish and comfort
able.
The front hair is slightly frinsed or
waved.
Brocaded parasols are trimmed with
Spanish lace.
All sorts of quaint capes and collars are
worn on ulsters.
Bathing suits should always be made of
all-wool flannel.
The present style of hair-dressing is
rather compact.
Dress trimmings for the coming autumn
are very handsome and costly.
Children wear red Phyrgian caps and red
Stockings with early fall suits.
Bands of satin are embroidered with
flowers in natural colors for trimming.
Jet will form an important element in
hat and bonnet pins this fall and winter.
The seaside is fashionable about now.
1t will remain SO until the middle of Octo-
ber.
Velvet is again used for facing the brims
of bonnets, and satin is sometimes put on
quite plainly.
Both Pekin and plain satins will be used
for trimming early fall suits, also satins
with small caintz figures.
The new ribbons are beautifully finished,
small quantity of these being preferable
to a profusion of cheaper grades.
Bnnches of flowers artificial or real, are
worn at the belt. Some eladics effect bou-

Pompadour silks and satins, in small
chintz figures on pale grounds, are pretty
for trimming light colored bunting and
cashmeres.
In some of the Pompadour silks may be
seen most daring mixture of bright col
ors, red, yellow, green and blue arrayed
side by side.
In dressing the hair, if the forehead is
entirely bare the effect is thought to he
rather bold. If the forehead is too much
covered the wearer looks wild.
Both Breton and Russian. lace are used
for children's costumes. They are put on
over dark as well as light materials, the
Breton trimming the finer dresses.
Crepe lisse neck ruchings still hold their
own, they are so soft-looking as to be uni
versaly becoming. Plated Breton lace is
also used for the neck and sleeves.
Princesse dresses have basque fronts or
backs, and scarfs arranged rather high in
front, punched up at the sides, and falling
at the back in one or two sash ends.
Overskirts are universally short, which
necesstates the front of the underskirt be-
ing much trimmed in front. Flat trim
mings are used especially upright bends of
satin.
The polonaise is by no means discarded,
but the skirt is much looped, and often it
has only a vest the length of basque in
front, the sides being drawn back to form
panniers.
Plain uuderskirts of velvet or satin are
fashionable with a polonaise worn over
looped high or coat basque and vest with
short pannier overskirt. Plain silk under
skirts have appeared, but they should be
very rich or they are not pretty.
FALL MILLINERY FoREsHADowED.
1t is only by especial favor that the arbi-
ters of fashion will give any clue to the
STYLES they contemplate introducing in the
autumn, but private letter from Paris in
forms me that NirOt has exhibited to ia
vored few a pretty caprice in dressy bon
nets to be worn with visiting costumes in
early fall. The style in question is capote
shape, with brim of Leghorn and stif crown
of dark blue or wine-colored satin, not
puffed or plated, but following accurately
the shape of the frame. 1t is probable that
the same idea will be carried out in satin
and felt later in the fall.
A beautiful bonnet of Virot's is in shape
even more Of coal-scuttle than the poke"
worn through the summer, although it has
not the rudmentary cape or curtain at the
back but rests fatty upon the hair. 1t is
of fine Tuscan, with the large brim lined
with dark red velvet shirred. Upon the
outside are three soft, gracefully-disposed
ostrich tips, occupying the same position,
sometimes filled by the Alsace bow. The
feathers are the same shade as the straw,
and wide satin ribbons of the same color
pass around the crown and are held down
at the back little upon one side by clus-
ter of large red asters
Another hat for early fall is of fine black
chip, similar in shape to the above; the
brim is lined with Maria Louise blue vel
vet; large feather bow of the same shade
is upon the outside and a twist Of bias
satin and velvet passes around the crown.
Three immense pink roses are set low at the
back aud shell of plated white Breton
lace is beneath them
An exquisitelv fine white felt bonnet has
the crown quite covered by net work Of
rridescent beads, which are novelty;
they are white and transparent, and, singly,
appear to be colorless, but massed they re-
veal all the coors of the rainbow. MEETINGS
and passementeries of these beads appear
on some of the most cost y-dressed hats in
Paris. The felt hat thus decorated is fur
ther trimmed with white corduroy velvet
and violet leather tip, which curls for
ward against the darker violet velvet Of the
brim facing
THE SUMNER STYLES.
As the season advances the styles which
have been so vigorously declared and pre-
dicted are generally adopted. After seeing
for 80 long the slim prncesse styles, the
bouttant drapery at present affected seems
almost outre. No dresses are now made to
closely outline the figure, like those of the
previous season; indeed, the desire at pres
ent seems to be to conceal it as much as
possible by mass of drapery. Skirts are
not made very foil, quite scant, in fact, but
they are not tied back and are held out by
stiff petticoats or by the more substantial
support of hustle. 1t has been question
eagerly asked of late whether or no the
