assr For ordinary walking dresses q atrim-
med skirt that is skirt with the trim
ming arranged directly IN it, is combin-.
cd with aJacket more or less tight fitting
or an overskirt and short skirt, the latter
either trimmed with a simple 1ounce Or
LETT plain, according to the goods used.
Poionalses ofsimple designs are also en-.
ployed to complete costumes, but are not
SO fashionable as the above mentioned
arrangements. For suitings the tailor"
hnlsh-rows of machine stitching--is the
accepted thinning, the vest, collars,
cuffs and revers of some different mate
rial from the rest of the garment. For
costumes made of cloth and the heavier
WOODEN goods used for early spring and
travelling the underskirt is not unfre-
quently without trimming of any kind,
excepting several rows of stitching near
the bottom, and the overskirt is of some
simple design, like the "Birena," the
!"Muriel" or the "Lilea," finished to
match the underskirt.
THE FRANCIsCA.
This is one of the simplest and mos3
practical designs for trimmed walking
skirt. 1t has moderately bouffan
drapery, and is finished by q deer kilt
plating ON the bottom. This skirt is
suitable alike for heavy or light goods,
dressy or ordinary wear, and is really an
excellent design for washing fabrics. For
dressy wear, or where combination of
materials is used, the Berenice is especial
ly desirable. This has short, fully
draped apron, from which revers are
turned back and carried to the back,
where they support the drapery in a mod
crate pouf. Another new style, especially
suitable for supper silks and grenadines,
is the Litta, which has the apron and side
cores pulled and the buck effectively
draped. Two. and even three materials
are used in combination for street
costumes, and this applies to the simple
suits made Of percale, cotton satin,
marine cloth and other fabrics for sum-
mer wear. The rule observed when only
two fabrics are used is to have the costume
itself made entirely of one goods and the
accessories ana trimmings of the other.
There is wide scope for the exercise of
much taste in the selection and arrange
ment of the goods to be used in combina-
ton, and while strong contrasts are al
lowable, good taste dictates that ar
engagements must not be bizarre in effect.
RECEPTION TOILETS.
An elegant reception toilet is arranged
with the "Rosalind' train and the
'Desiree" basque, made in moss green
silk, with the vest, collar and cuffs on the
basque of French MORE Of the same color,
satin stripe alternating with watered
one and the pufings on the front of
white crepe lisse. This dress is trimmed
with an exquisite fringe of green twist
and chenill combined, having strands
dotted with crystal beads. A very stly-
ish dress is made in chine summer silk,
dark plum and old gold colors, trimmed
with plain plum colored silk ana a rich
fringe in which both colors are intermixed.
The trained skirt is known as the "GWen-
doine," and is trimmed with broad revers
on the front, which are connected with
panier drapery at the sides, while the
back is Topped in simple but very effec-
tive manner. The bottom of the skirt is
trimmed with Marguerite plaitings of the
the same material as the dress, headed
by chicoree ruching of old gold and
plum colored silks. The "Anatolia"
basque has plain vest in front with
broad 1evers at the sides continuing to
the back, which is much longer than the
front.
The "Paulyna" costume is designed
for a young lady of fourteen, and is very
handsome. The "Dotha" skirt is anoth-
er attractive style. The brenda" Jacket
is decidedly masculine in character, and
has coat back, with the side forms
carried to the shoulders.
