One OF the most fashionable summer
trimmings :svelvet.
Detachable hows of ribbon are now
used Tor night dresses.
Some of the daintiest and lishies, o.
straw hats have the crowns entirely GOV
"red with velvet.
n xt to dark green and royal blue,
the favorite color for street wear is the
new shade OF golden brown.
A dark red parasnl for general wear,
white parasol for dress, and black
one for use are the popular choice.
Silver grav is the most fashionable
color now in Paris, and gray and steel
lace is chosen to tim dresses Of this
color.
Little girls wear hats, sashes, stock
ings, and ribbons all ma ching each other
in color, the favorite hue being new
deep shade of china red.
A pretty fashion, at present very pop
ular among young girls, is two little
culls in the coiffure behind each ear,
dropping on the neck. To some faces
the caprice is very becoming and charm
ling.
An old.fashioned style is revived in
the mode of finishing of the pointed
bodice A thick cord is set at the very
edge Of the corsage, and the tunic and
panniers are set just underneath the
cord
White outdoor costumes OF coarse
wooden textures will he very. much worg
by young ladies this sumaer. Lares
black hats lined with black velvet and
trimmed with black feathers should be
worn with them.
Stripes OF Satin alternating with
checked stripes are in great favor for
the pleated flounces OF walking dresses.
The overdress is then made of the plain
color of the satin stripe, and may be
either of satin or cashmere.
Fashion is running wild over emhroi
deries of every kind; this trimming is
used lavishly upon all kinds of toilets -
Whole dresses of net are completely
covered with embroidery, to be worn
over princess slips OF tinted surah.
Embroidered fabrics in the style of
Swiss embroidery take the first rank
In soft, thin white wooden tex ures put
over colored skirt, this transparent
work Is wonderfully beautiful; black
tollets.for spring in this style are very
elegant.
Collars and cuffs are superseded by
ruches and lace frillings, which are null
tiludinous in style. although the plain
linen collar NAV also be observed in
good society. Fichu arrangements are
in plenty and extremely becoming and
tasteful
A pretty fancy is for young ladies
with floral names to wear their individ-
ual flower as a corsage bouqnet. Thus
Miss Lilly confines herself to lilies
Violet wears violets; Daisy and Mar
guerile, daisies; while Rose has wider
choice among all the numerous family
OF ber name-fower.
Handsome imported walking suits are
of dark cashmere made over hounced
petticoat of checked watered silk, with
the flounces and cashmere cut in slender
scallops, or with some muslin embroi
dery for trimming. Terra Gotta, hello
trope and robin's-egg blue costumes Of
this kind are in great favor.
The India pongees that are no longer
the fashionable choice make tasteful, in.
expensive and cooler summer dresses,
when simply made, with little embroi
dery for trimming, and some bows or
dark satin ribbon, either bronze, green
or cardinal, to give touch of color =
If the embroidery is very open pat
tern the colored satin is also placed be-
meath il.
White and crean-tinted Spanish net
will be much employed this summer for
dinner and evening dress, made wholly
of lace. This net is cut in plain prin-
cess style over foundation Of white
merveilleux The skirt and bodice are
then draped with ruffles, scarf and bertha
of painted Spanish lace. These exqui
site dresses are among the most beauti
full and becoming of summer toilets.
