Straw fans threaten to become the
rage. They are round and close with q
catch and an elastic. Some very pretty
straw fans open like the ordinary fans,
and are painted with insects, leaves and
small bright blossoms.
Gay bcrdered handkerchiefs are folded
in three corners on the bias and tied
around the neck, with the knot in the
back; the point in front is then drawn
down and tucked into the bosom of the
dress, while a lace pin confines it at the
throat.

with fans and reeds are done with long
patches of crewel and silk on felt OF
some quaint color, and are then

No more exquisite material was ever
manufactured than the fine, delicate,
almost intangible, wolfe religieuso or
nuns veil. The skirts of the dresses
made oft are covered with a series of
narrow or graduated flounces, some-
times formed with satin; and the bodice
is round and belted in broadly with
satin.
The pretty dress with Directoire
basque, shirred front and pointed panels,
is a favorite model for summer cos
tunes that are to be worn either in the
house or street. The design is suitable
for afternoon, for church and visiting,
and for dressy occasions in the morning.
The popular summer fabrics are all
made up in this way.
Nubias and clouds are made of Shet-
land floss, which is liked better than the
well-known Shetland wool, but a sep
arate covering for the head is not used
as much as formerly, now that shawls
are made so large that one corner is put
over the head, and rests lightly on the
hair, with the point In Marie Stuart on
the forehead.
Quite popular just now is the Black
Forest peasant shoe. Half high, with a
pointed projection of silk-bound pru-
nella on each side, and a small narrow
ruche ofblack ribbon laid an inch below
the ilap-like piece, it is becoming to any
shoe The shoe is admirably suited for
country walks, having n heel, which
though high is firm and flat. Although
the favorite material is prunella, it is
handsome in kid.
