NETS AND EVENING DRESSES.
From the N. Y. Evening Post.
Embroidered pongee is very fashion.
able this season.
Russian lace is much used on ging.
hams, percales and Madras fabrics.
An unsightly novelty in summer
fashions is flaming red parasols OF
sun umbrella.
| Very wide scarfs of India muslin
edged with pleatings and insertions
of real vaIenciennes laces are import
ed.
The most fashionable gloves are of
undresst d kid, of flesh, black, corn,
lavender or cameo colors. White is
most worn with full dress toilets.
Foulard silk edged with lace makes
very pretty and becoming morning
caps. Handkerchiefs and necker-
chiefs are often made to correspond.
The brightest shades of turkey red,
old gold, heliotrope and peacock blue
are used as Innings, bands and facings
on street dresses. Too lavish use of
these colors, however, renders the wear
or very conspicuous.
Very beautiful cashmere wrappers
are now seen in white, pale blue and
heliotrope, embroidered up the fronts
and around the waist and sleeves with
delicate vine of flowers in gay shad-
ed tints or of pure white.
Brocaded silk boots are just import
ed. They are of elegant shape and Of
the finest workmanship, coming in all
the new dress silk patterns, and are of
every color. Tho most popular style is
of black, which can be worn with any
toilet.
Pretty little shirred round hats of
cream-colored surah silk, edged with
lace, are worn with summer toilets
A simple scarf of Languedoc is twisted
around the crown and held at the back
by cluster of tri- colored or crimson
crashed roses.
Very stylish bangle bracelets have five
little hoops of alternate plain and twist
ed gold wires, held together by bar set
with a cameo head or small gems, pearls,
turQuolses or diamonds. Another style
is broad black velvet band embroider-
ed with small pearl beads. A dog-collar
band to match is W worn around the neck.
This collar has long loops OF pearl beads
attached to it.
Very cool and becoming morning
dresses are made of cheese cloth. A
finely pleated frill is placed around the
bottom of the skirt. A wide scarf, hem
med on both edges, is draped across the
front of the dress and caught hera and
there by loops of ribbon, Of rose color,
blue or mauve. The waist is tight-fit-
ting and across the front is laid fiscu
made of soft folds of the goods, edged
with narrow lace ond finished at the belt
by bow and ends of ribbon.
The old-fashicned leghorn hats are
again worn. Wild and grotesque shapes
are seen, but the styles preferred by
ladies OF quiet tastes are the cottage and
Gypsy shapes. Young ladies wear the
broad-brimed "Maud Muller" hats
simple in form and always BECOMING.
They are generally trimmed with full
pleated ruffles of Languedoc or Breton
lace aud clusters of field flowers-scarlet
poppies, wheat ears, corn flowers, Mar
gueritas or oleander blossoms. Others
have heavier trimming of black velvet
and lace, cream colored or old gold os-
trich tips and pearl ornaments.
A new caprice for trimming evening
dresses of India null is to press the |
sea moses until they |
are thoroughly dry, then arranging them
upon the skirts, bertha ard sleeves to re-
selnble vine, giving the effect of the
most delicate hand-paintlng or embroid-
cry. Small turfts Of wood-moss, ,lichens.
ground pine and small fern leaves are
also used. Ladies employ their leisure
hours at the seaside or in the mountains
by placing these delicate sprigs between
two thickness of white tarletan. A bot
tie of mucilage and few yards of tarle-
tan will make very beautiful AMI ar
tistic hall or bay-window tapestry. La
dies can use their own taste in the selec-
tion and arrangement of the leaves and
MOSES.
