BOWS AND FLOWERS.
Perhaps the most effective orna'
mentatiou is that consequent on the
employment of ribbon bows, to say
nothing of the coquetish belt to
match. These bows are placed any
where and everywhere. aud the re-
suits are as charming as CAN be. And
vet, rs if in perversity, we constantly
see the ribbon how oil tie nj the throat

flowers as the cast may be. Bunches

ture in the outfit of the Saratoga
belle. They are worn, par excellence
at the waist on the left side, but as
or sometimes Il smaller bouquet OF
single flower is at the throat, while
an addition OF the same kind, but
larger, ia at the waist. Daisies are the
rage. but as a change we see pond
lilies, crushed roses or viOlGts. lis
All Ill wind that blows nobody any
good, as the little boys are making
fortunes by selling bouquets or single
pond lilies.
COSTUMES.
Mixtures of colors in costumes are
quite remarkable. Miss Tiffany, of
New York, the other day wore a
dress Of ecru. cnmel's hair combined
with pale blue. while a brocaded rib
bon showing bright mixtures Of read
and blue gave finish and an Alsatian
bow to match appeared on her heal.
Again 1 observed Mrs. Wand. rbilt,
who was dressed one morning in q
pink striped Jason, with broad trim
med hat, lined with. pale blue satin
aud al immense crimson poppy On
the outside. The shade hats worn
on piazzas aud about the streets (for
we all go about in a reckless sort of
q way, with or without u hat, indeed
with or without gloves, with long
trailing muslins or habited in demure
walking suit') + captivating by
reason of the variety and the extreme
abandon of the mode of trimming.
Sometimes great piles of crushed
roses are heaped together without
foliage; sometimes tits one large
flower; a modest bunch of small
tiowers,o or again careless sprays which
hang down occasionally rs far as the
waist. Fayal work is quite in favor,
and one of the prettiest morning cos
tunes worn by q daughter of Judge
Hilton was of zephyr gingham having
rows Of Faysl work let in through
out. Another superb toilet worn by
Mrs. Astor, of New York, was of
white satin deliberately trimmed with
fine Fayal work. Miss Marvin, daugh-
ter Of the owner of q leading hotel
here, is celebrated for her toilets.
She wore the other morning a polon-
aise Of ecru silk, embroidered in self
color and edged with ecru Spanish
blonde. A aquare of Spanish blonde
was thrown over her shoulders and
confined in front by a bouquet of yell
low crushed roses. Her hat was q
broad brimmed Leghorn trimmed
with ecru ribbon, white ostrich plume
and crimson roses Skirt, black
velvet.
ARCHERY.
What q contrast all this to the
simple yet coquettish costumes Of
flannel, bunting or cheese cloth with
bandana trimmings which the belle
assumes when trying her skill at
archery or lawn tennis. There is a
rage for both. These games, as the
implements thereof everywhere ex-
posed for sale, bear witness. Those
most highly esteemed + made by
Philip Highfield, Of London, whose
agents here are Peck and Schneider,
124 Nassau street, New York. The
same widely known firm are agents
for Jefferee's lawn tennis, and also
have a pretty little book sold for
twenty-five cents, which is q complete
guide to lawn tennis and badminton,
while at the same price another little
volume, "The Modern Archer" gives
full information az to the rules Of
archery. For ten cents they forward
a catalogue containing more than
seven hundred illustrations of sport
ing goods adapted to all seasons OF
the year.
NEW DESIGNS.
A word as to some new designs.
The Iona walking costume consists
of a tight fitting basque with cut
away fronts showing a pointed vest
and skirt trimmed with deep box
planted 1ounces, while the Nerissa
overskirt certainly also may be sin
gled out because of its graceful styl-
ishness; the more so as it is adapted
to any class of dress goods or wash
materials. With this the Lucille
basque would combine ta%stefully.

HAIR DRESSING
Hair dressers are making money
fast, bat l cannot see that they bring
about anything novel. We observ'
for the most part clusters of finger
puffs set high on the head or chate
leine braids low at the back, some
times both together, but what is Their
new in this p? Some variety is givel
by a waved coil with short curls a
