An extremely fashionable lady now
prides herself on nothing more than 4
pair Of tan colored gloves Of kid Or
chamois skin that she wears in a mass
Of wrinkles above her wrist. This is
the badge: the sign aud symbo! Of
veritable "style' and she who bears
it looks complacertly on herself and
disdaiufully on surrounding exlsten-
ces. If allowed to follow its destiny,
that stretch of kid or goat skin ought
to reach from half to all the way up
to the elbow; being made without
buttons or perhaps only a few at the
wrist. Thither, however, it must
never be allowed to 90, but must
crumple and wrinkle as previously
described. Not only is this fashion
adopted when costumes Of silk or wool
are worn, but in case of thin muslins
or even white satin. Yet the greater
number Of ladies are content with
kid glove worn in more conservative
way, or with lisle thread, silk or lace
mitts, Of which there are no end IN
the market. But lace is certainly the
color Of the hour; being preferred to
shades corresponding with the dress
and influencing ali the lighter summer
! substitutes for kid. Still there are
other stylish hues worn even by ex-
tremists and these are gold, golden
brown, gray or black. Both gloves
aud mitts of high and low degree are
long on the wrist and there is much
less open work than formerly.
TWO SCHOOLS IN SLEEVES.
Two schools ip sleeves, as wide
apart as homeopathy and alipathy now
prevail. The Gigot or bishop sleeve
is the head and front of a new rebel
lion this being followed at a respect
full distance By sleeves imbued with
similar ideas but of more modest out
line. The Gigot, however, comes
boldly out and shows the veritable
balloon top of olden time with cuff
shaped in to the arm. Unlike the
leg of mutton, however, it is cut all
in one piece; the puff at the top be-
ing put OF separately. Sleeves Of
lesser note are crowned with smaller
pufs while at times we see two pufs
divided by rows of shirring. Mean
time the close coat sleeve holds its
own and thereby no suall advantage
to the public at large accrues. An
arm too thin can hide securely under
those friendly puAiDgs and show to
the world as if it were the plunpest,
and she who breads no scrutiny can
wear sleeve that follows natures fair
proportions. Each one does we'll aud
each is stylish.
FASHIONS FOR THE THIN.
But if thin arm can be made to
pass, wherefore not the individual ?
This pertinent question can be an
swered in the affirmative and the re-
suit so satisfactory is brought about
by the aid Of shirrings. This the
more so, because they are veritable
rage. You cannot misplace them.
Put them about the neck, OF the front,
on the back, around the waist, Oh the
sleeve of your corsage and you commit
no error. Have your skirt shirred
from end to end you touch the ez-
tremist's limits, but you do not over
step them. Even the hat and parasol
may be shirred, a pretty example of
such an outfit being one prepared of
cream white null for Emma Abbott,
who is spending the Summer here.
Another tasteful costume showing
similar ideas has been gotten up for
the same we'll known singer. 1t is of
silk and wool: a combination of pale
blue and golden brown, and is made
Aurelian waist in surplice style, With
shirred belt and sash; sleeves with
tHo pufs and shirring between. The
oYerskirt after the Cari5a model shows
the front arranged with shirred
aprou draped high in the middle and
falling in points at the sides. Close
akia to shirriugs, come pufings.
These because q more pronounced
type are used with some caut:ou you
cannot cover Jour whole outfit with
pufs, but they are very popular. For
the bottom of the skirt. nothing is
