AND SUITS.
Short dresses continue in favor Among
these are Pampadour suits, which are cut very
short and have small draped pauiers in the
back. Handsome silk tissues DO not require
anything under the panier TO puff them out
but woollcn and fancy goods must have the
addition OF tournureS' with light springs
almost flat, to support them. These must be
very small, and great moderation should be
observed in their manufacture.
White and black toilets are much worn I'm
Paris The black toilets are mostly for street
wear while the white toilets are for house
wear and evening companies. This fashion is
very convenient, ms these dresses are suitable
for almost any occasion. and are especially
serviceable for ladies whose wardrobe Is linn
tied White dresses are made of light wooden
goods such as wolfe de weave" crepou de
PInde,' and "mOuseline dc Iaine' These
tissues are draped in many ways ON silk UNI
derdresses, and trimmed with quantities of
ribbon, made in loops, and plated bretonne
lace. Other toilets are of white Cashemera
embroidered with small designs of flowers,
in white silk, and also with colored flowers
As these dresses are more elegant than those
first mentioned, they are generally trimmed
with satin taille and white MORE antique
Plated black brctonne lace il a novelty
which is used to trim light black materials
with, such materials as plain and striped
gauzes, and grenadines, both plain and striped
with velvet. Black silk dresses are also
trimmed with this lace. These plaitings are
generally placed around paniers and prin-
cess waists, with the addition of jet passemeu-
terie.
Waists, which are separate from the skirts,
whether matching the dress or not, are cut
very long in front, with ends reaching nearly
to the knees, and cut up on the hips, 10 pre-
vent the dress from working up when sitting.
This style is mostly made Tor full walking
suits, which can in this way be worn without
over garments
Jackets with white vests will be worn this
summer. As these vests must always he very
white, they are made complete with back,
like gentlemen's vests in order that they can
be changed as often as necessary. The jacket
il no longer 10 be buttoned in front, but d. left
open, and only fastened with q hook on either
side of the vest
Galloon and embroideries for summer suits
are in colors. The galloons are of cotton in
all cnlors. such as blue, brown, or red, on ecru
or white groundings. They are altogether 30
very fine open work Other galloons are OF
beads, in designs of leaves and flowers, aud are
used to trim faIlle and loulard suits. Senegal
looms are of cotton embroidered in the shape OF
flowers, and also in open work resembling vel
vets or chenille.
Old-fashioned scarfs like those worn about
fifteen years ago, are again in use. They are
now made Of black satin, trimmed with fringe
or lace. "Gorge-de-pigeon" silks are again
IN vogue. Whole toilets have not yet been
made, of this colored silk, but the first step
has been taken by making out Of this material
some very pretty bonnets. One of these con-
sists of a small capote, composed of u diadcm
Of plated garnet-colored velvet, with the
drapery Of 'gorge-de-Pigeo silk, and large
bow forming the crown Of the bonnet. The
ribbon of this bow il taken down 10 form the
strings. On the left side is a bunch of flowers,
and toward the middle is a small garland Of
fine flowers in the shades OF the tatietas.
Hair-nets are now made Of chenille, and
also mantillas for evening outer garments.
Many frnges are now made of chenille, and
have chenille combined with silk Evening
toilets have also sleeves and ornaments Of
chenille network embroidered with beads.
