heading, however, of Lady Bective's
PaIlolc -aipacas,- sparkling with dia-
mond ornaments and half. covered with
lace, kltr is difficult to see where the

Nevertheless the fact remains that
many of the prettiest imported suits of
the season are of wool, while many
n4pre are Of silk and wool combined,
and furnish charming models for Amer
lean fabrics, almost as pretty and far
less expensive than the French and

a very stylish walking dress is of
small checked summer camel's hair in
Z two shades of brown. The skirt is laid
inbo0'plaits from the hips down, deep
yoke avoiding all unnecessary fullness
above that point. Under the edge of
the box plaits is a narrow side plating.
The bodice is pointed basque with
shirred pieces down the front forming
Tvs on each side Of the buttons. The
sBdhic is gathered on to the edge of the
BASQUE, in six narrow. shirred puffs, and
is draped to form paniers and Louis
XIV. pouf at the back. The sleeves are
m coat shape, very tight at the wrists,
Where they are fastened by buttons, and
the long gloves are worn outside of
sthen. a shoulder cape shirred around
Stheneck in Mother Hubbard fashion is
added to the suit, and may be either
. worn or left off at pleasure. A narrow
linen band is worn with the dress, and
a knot of ribbon at the throat. The
buttons are ball-shaped in bronze metal.
Quite different, and equally stylish, is
another walking dress of fine cashmere
and embossed velvet. The cashmere
skirt is finished with deep box plat
ing, trimmed above the hem with band
of velvet. Two wide velvet panels are
on the sides of the skirt. The overdress
is a polor2ise with paniers on the sides
and FULL. draped back in Marguerite
style. Velvet vest, cuffs and deep
round collar Small round buttons of
cut jet.
Another attractive dress is of black
cashmere and watered silk. The tablier
of this consists of box plaits of CASH
mere, separated by wide bands of moire
The fiounce at the back of the skirt is of
MORE, laid in double box plaits. The
skirt drapery is of cashmere in full loose
bluffs at the back. The cashmere jacket
has an old fashioned waistcoat skirt of
MORE, with deep cuffs and Continental
collar of moire also, and at the back of
the jacket is a huge bow of MORE, which
together with the cashmere puff gives a
most bouffant effect to the back of the
dress.
AS already said, great deal of lace is
used on nun 8 veilings, still very pretty
effect is gained by trimming them al
most entirely with the material. Thus
the skirt, which is made on foundation,
as all skirts are nowadays, is finished at
the foot with side plating from two to
-four inches deep. Above this is shirred
puff which Says down over the plating.
The straight strip cut for this puff is
some twelve inches wide. An inch of
and bottom; three inches are devoted
10 the shirred band at top, and the re-
manning eight inches forms the six inch
puff, the extra two inches in depth Civ
Ing the sagging effect. The front
= breadth and side cores have similar
puffings above this, all the way up to
The edge of the basque, and the back
has straight full drapery caught in
loose irregular folds. The basque is
corded WITH silk ON the edge, and frill
of lace finishes the neck and sleeves,
knots of ribbon being added at the throat
and on the cuffs.
% Stripes are very much worn, although
few dresses are made entirely of striped
materials. The novelty is fancy stripes,
one plain the other basket woven, ar
mure, invisible check or lowered, and
these are combined with material match
ingthe fancy stripe in design.
= Such dresses may be made either with
q long-tailed jacket of the stripes, and
plain skirt with striped knitting, or the
skirt may be of the striped fabric and
the overdress plain; it is merely a mat
Ter of fancy. In making striped hounces
they are invariably cut straight, and
when plated great care is taken to have
the same stripe come uppermost every
time. A very pretty effect is produced
By wide founce plated thus for the
bottom part, stitched fiat about two
thirds of the way up, and the plaits re-
versed on the upper edge, giving a
plated puff which shows the under
stripe in Irregular patches.
Velvet it is said will be worn all sum-
naea, and 8 skirt of black, dark brown
orfiaVy blue velvet is an eminently safe
purchase, since it may be worn with a
variety Of overskirts.
Packets, different from the skirt, con-
tiaue fashionable, and some of the pref
test imported costumes have jackets of
3rocade or fancy silks over skirts of
null or surah silk. Foulard jackets in
many lowered designs will be very
popular at watering places, since the
fashion is both becoming and economi-
