season are those made Of the remarkably
exquisite wash materials that were never
shown in finer variety than at present.
The monte cloths and satines are hand
somer in the piece than rich silks, and
are made up with such reckless disre-
gard of the possibility of laundrying as
to make it presumable that they are de-
signed to be worn as nice afternoon
dresses in summer, and not for morning
wear, when household avocations demand
costumes that can be freely consigned to
the family wash.
WALKING DRESSES.
Having dresses made of length which
forbids their being soiled from contact
with the sidewalk encourages ladies to
wear lighter colors than have prevailed
of late years, and the once universal
black costume for the street is not now
insisted upon. Young ladies, particu-
larly, wear the pretty-fowered monte
cloth and delicate satines for summer
walking-dresses, and with the large fan
ciful hats and striped parasols, make
very picturesque and attractive appear
ance. Many Of these dresses are made
with jacket basques, which make them
appear suitable for the street, or little
cape or fichu of corresponding material
is added to do away with the necessity OF
wearing black wrap.
For dresses of foulard cambria, simpler
styles of making are chosen by most peo-
pie. Panniers at the sides, more or less
bouftant according to fancy, are made by
running tapes in castings on the wrong
side and drawing them up. The use OF
plenty of ribbon bows upon such an over
Skirt makes it very dressy; and washing
it after it becomes soiled is comparative
ly a simple matter, as the tapes which
draw it up can be united If, instead of
row after row of plisse, which never irons
satisfactorily, straight huted or either
bias-gathered ruflles are used upon the
underskirt, one can wear pretty cam
brio dress without being tortured by the
necessity of being too careful OF 1t.
