Watering Place Novelties
! EsichiieIA Springs.
An extremely fashionable lady now
! prides herself on nothing more than a
pair CT 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 and symbol Of
veritable "style' and she who bears
! it looks complacertly on herself and
disdaiufully on surrounding existen-
, 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 Isle thread, silk or lace
mitts, Of which there are no end II
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
and 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 in 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 respect
full distance By sleeves imbued with
similar ideas but of more modest out
line. The Gigot, however, comes
boldly out and shows the verltaole
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 on separately. Sleeves OF
lesser note are crowned with smaller
puffs while at times we see two puHs
divided by rows of shirring. Mean
time the close coat sleeve holds its
own and thereby no small advantage
to the public at large accrues. An
arm too thin can hide securely under
those friendly pufiDgs and show to
the world as if it were the plumpest,
and she who breads no scrutiny can
wear sleeve that follows natures fair
proportions. Each one does we'll and
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
svered in the affirmative and the re-
suit so satisfactory is brought about
by the aid of shirrings. This the
more so, because they are a verltable
rage. You cannot misplace them
Put them about the neck, on the front,
on the back, around the waist, on the
sleeve of your corsage and you commit
no error. Have your skirt shlrred
from end to end: you touch the ex-
tremist's limits, but you do not over
step them. Even the hat and parasol
may be shirred, 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 tor
the same we'll known singer. 1t IS OF
silk and wool: combination OF pale
blue and golden brown, and IS made
| Aurelian waist in surplice style, with
| shirred belt and sash; sleeves with
TWO pufs aud shirripg between. The
oYerskirt after the Cari5a model shows
the front arranged with a shirred
aprou draped high in the middle and
falling in points at the sides. Close
akin to shirriugs, come puGngs.
These because more pronounced
type arc used with some caution; you
cannot cover your whole outfit with
pufs, but they are very popular. For
