COSTUMES
Combination suits are genuine combina.
tions, for the two materials are united
throughout, and this to the disadvantage Of
a skirt Of one fabric and overdross OF another.
The latter idea is at most wholly excluded
except in case OF some elegant. light material
but even here, the skirt should correspond
in tone with what Is worn above and there is
almost always a unity apparent somewhere.
Trimmed skirts aud basques are extremely
| fashionable and in this style we find the Del.
phine costume which smbodies the latest
ideas. Even wash dresses follow. aud are
shown ready made with unlined, tight-ttting
basque or half fitting jacket which can be
belted in. In general. the trimming on the
skirt is so arranged that it can DO displaced

times they ornament costumes Of plain wool

for shirring so much 50 that it can hardly be
ovcrdoEe or misplaced. But plaisings are
likewise very popular.
CLOVES, Err.
In kid gloves tho Harris kid lace top is ex.
tremely elegant and especially adapted to
summer wear, as an opportunity is given for
display si the beautiful finish at the top.
Such finish Is OF kid finely cut to resemble
lace aud it is so skillfully done that the imi.
