stamped flower designs and edged with
point Aurillac lace, are worn crossed
over the bodice in front, the ends being
carried to the ba-k and fastened with a
bunch of Watteau ribbons.
The shoulder capes formed of row upon
row of plated Spanish or French lace are
very becoming to tall, slender figures, but
woe unto the very stout ladies who don
them They are certainly very distiguring
to broad shoulders.

with feather trimmings and artistic de

tain ferns and wood moss.
A handsome short dancing dress made o
champagne de vim silk has bodice of Grim

chatelaine pocket made entirely of the sam,
soft pink blooms.
Collarettes and jabots of lace and flower
are made in thousand pretty designs t.
suit every face and figure. It must be
borne in mind, however, that people with
short necks or high shoulders never look
well in high ruffs or frills, but should weal
Fat dresses slightly open at the throat
while people with long slender necks may
with advantage wear double or even treble
| rufiles and fraises.
The very best trands OF black gros grain
silks are now sold at about half their usual
price, and as they are as sure to return to
popular favor as the leaves are to fall
the Jersey peach crop to "fail," many
ladies are purchasing these elegant fabrics
while they can be bought at "rsa
| bargain the advantage so dear to the
hearts of most lady shoppers putting
them aside until the cool weather shall
| bring about an advance in both their price
and popularity.
| Japanese Grape in softest tints of she'll
pink cream, Minerals eye" blue wild
rose, violet and canary colored, is avery
popular fabric for handsome evening
dresses. A great quantity of flowers and
| leaves are worn with these toilets-from

Collars are made immensely large for
morning wear Some of these are seal
Hoped out and embroidered in bright colors,
then finished with an edging Of Smyrna
lace. Well selected, they give pretty
effect to the whole dress. Very stylish
also are the large plated Recamier collars
OF Surah, in the shaded colors, edged with
ombre lace and fastened with somewhat
loose bow of the Surah. These cape-like
collars are particularly appropriate when
worn with the Jersey bodice, as they
change in degree the plain, severe ap-
pearance of these close-ftting waists.
