n The costume for travelling and for the
usIountry or beach is made of fancy woolen
on onoods-woolen armure, beige, or chaly.
!, he skirt is cut round and trimmed with a
:, ~ faited tlounce or deep killing. The front
lagtrt is then shirred, and the back is looped
oinkinto narrow drapery. The bodice is a
JNg-waisted jacket, either buttoned all the
pway down in front, or slanted off over the
hips, and forming square lappets in front
deep lndlgo-blue, garnet, and seal-brown
are fashionable for such costumes as well as
beige and gray tints.
Iraveling- -cloaks for the railroad or steam
er are OF dust-gray or beige material; their
shape is that OF paletot, half-ftting behind
and loose in front. They are edged with
bias bands of silk or fine cashmere put on
inside, and showing just beyond the edge,
called depasSants. The paletot is made
either with long bernouse hood or with a
treble cape, formed of superposed collars,
all edged with silk as above described. The
trimmings for beige or gray mantles are
mostly of some dark shade of brown or
prune. A few unique models, however,
have the aepasSanks of deep red silk. But
tons are large and ornamental.
The walking costume is often finished
with jacket of some pretty brocaded ma
teral different from the skirt, but not black.
Thus, with all beige, gray, and in general
neutral-tinted dresses, jacket of seal-brown
or prune brocaded wool and silk fabric looks
very elegant; and to wear with white or
light-colored washing-dresses Jacket of In
dian cashmere is very stylish as well as use |
full especially at seaside places, where the |
weather changes so suddenly towards eye- |
ming.
For the beach, the short costume is now
adopted, and also for the coun-
NY. Even the most elegant of walking-toi-
'1ettes are now made without any train what
ever.
The tunic and the double-skirt are equally
fashionable.
A very pretty dress of Pompadour fouard, |
in pattern of foriated stripes, and of self
colored me,vsil2enf surah is made thus
Tunic of the Pompadour foulard long
gloye-fitting bodice; tablier turned
up, apparently to show lining of the surah,
plated across and looped up behind in a
1rapery, in which both materials are happ-
y combined. Under-skirt of the surah, II
with founce in which the pIaits, II
'ut on in threes, are alternately of each
material. The sleeves of Pompadour fou-
ard have revers of the surah and white
rillings.
This same toilette can be made of Pompa- ,
lour cambria and self-colored ditto or linen. {
Simpler costumes are made with double q
kirt and casaquin-bodice, trimmed with
or futings.
One of the prettiest fabrics of the season
called "nun's Yelling" 1t is very light r
material, which combines +
cry effectually with brocaded silk or satin.

The silk stocking is of course, the most tr

Among the prettiest of children's toilettes
the month of August l may mention a
ok of blue spotted muslin-delaine. Two Ia
low plated flounces entirely cover the an,
,rt skirt, while the bodice comes down for
y low, and is divided from the skirt by w
e sash tied in bow at the side; this
