One of the prettiest hats intended

For a slender, tall woman the pref

White dresses are the favorite toi-
lettes this season at the watering places.
For the morning and afternoon are short
costumes of the sheereSt French nan
sock, or else India muslin, and there are
also many pique dresses with the skirt
nearly covered with embroidered rutlles.
The muslin dresses are accompanied by
large fichu mantles of the material
trimmed with plaitings of Breton lace,
and when the picturesque Devonshire
hat is added, the effect is very charming.
1t is the fancy at present to use white
ribbons, belt, and sash with thin white
dresses, and the Leghorn hat is trimmed
with white satin or else black velvet.
The corsage bouquet is large cluster
of white rosebuds not blown, or else of
daisies, and there is really not touch
of color in the whole toilette.
The new silks to be worn during
the early autumn and winter are bro
caded stripes of two or three contrast
ING colors, and also small armue fig
ures set in precise rows. Many of the
armure silks are partly velvet, while
others are plush, the figures being long
raised pile on silk or satin ground OF
The same color. This is especially y hand
some in black, prune, gray, and quaint
blue shades. The striped silks have
arabesque figures in graceful curves of a
dark color on lighter ground, as GEN
darme blue on old gold, prune on pale
rose or pink, cardinal or cream-color.
The stripes are about an inch wide, and
are separated by the merest pencil-line
of twilled satin. These figured silks are
to serve as at present for parts Of cos
tunes that have plain silk Or satin for
| their foundation. The arabesques or
armure velvets will form the scarf
panier which is to drape the hips of
basques and polonaises, and it may
form the entire front breadth of the
skirt, or serve as two Tapped panels
down each side, or else it may be cut in
from three to six bias pieces that extend
the entire length of the front of the
skirt. A double box-plait of silk will be
arranged between the bias lengthwise
bands.
TO brighten up black silk suits for
young ladies great deal of color has
been used during the summer, and will
re-appear in winter dresses. The gay
est design is the Scotch plaid trimmings
of velvet in regular clan tartan patterns,
that form paniers, borders, vests, wide
belt, cuffs, and collar. The gay Stuart
and Rob Roy plaids that have a great
deal of red and yellow are liked by bru-
nettes, while the blue and green mixed
| plaids are used by blOnds. Dresses
made for less youthful ladies have the
trimmings of soft twilled silks, brocaded
in Persian patterns of many rich colors
and of most intricate designs. As these
silks are soft, they make graceful
full draperies, such as shirred
