4 controversy arises as to where
dots should end and be replaced by |
spots. Great spots an inch in diane
ter are fashionable on dress goods,
ribbons, kerehiefs, ETC., but because
circular in form have been called dots. |
Such name is Indignantly repEdiated
by persons of stexaet thought but
they fail to draw line and tell Us
just where we stand, If perchanee,
we should have invested ia dotted
or spotted dress. l leave yeu, there
fore, dear readers to decide for your
selves, remarking only that dots be-
gin from the very small set very close
and run in gradations till swallowed
up by very large spots set far apart.
They are selfcolsred. or in contrasts,
and what has been said regarding
size, holds good In all classes Of ma
terial not excepting the white mus
lins which robe diviniIies in summer.
Sprigged muslins too abound, and
here also are sprigs and sprays both
large and small.
YELLED BEAUTIES.
"Yeiling" is the leading material
where thin dress that does MT need
washing is desired. Various names
are given-''Nun's Yelling" 'Toile
0risntais, ''drap Yirginie," and such
like, but for the most part are dis
tinctions without much difference, SO
for convenience sake We call them all
DWELLINGS," Grenadines, buntings,
etc, have given away before them.
They eeme in all eolors ana while the
dark are chosen for morning wear, or
by elderly people, the young people
will attend the hotel hops attlred In
white or light colored veiliugs where
the chosen ornamentation is embroid-
cry wrought in the piece, either self
colored or in contrast Pretty outfits,
too, will be of yelling, made as pola-
naises or overdsesses, with silk or
satin skirts, and here many a tasteful
combinations can be brought sbeut.
For mourning, also, what more com
Portable than dress of black yelling,
soft, light and durable. Summer
Louisines are in old time checks and
ribbons for trimming the bonnet are
ID match. Chine silks likewise are
very stylish but higher priced because
ia heavier quality.
BsARDIxG School MISSES.
are already sending in orders for sup
plies Of black stockings, slippers and
gloves to be worn with their white
graduating dresses. There is just
that flavor in this last'eccentricity OF
fashion which captivates the average
boarding school heart, but it Is not
confined to these young creatures. In
truth they do but initiate their elders
since by fashiouists Of all degrees, a
rush is made not only for black, but
dark colored stockings, with kid or
satin slippers and gloves TO match.
Plain hosiery leads, although there
are some few stripes and checks.
Furthermore, too, the quite snUrt,
sumner costumes will afford ample
opportunity for display of these sim
gularly clothed feet, and such circuln-
stance while rejoicing the hearts of
many cequettish young beauty,
strikes with dismay the perily dew;
ayers who have lost there symmetry,
while, perhaps, retaining a full share
ofby-gone coquetry. They must needs
be somewhat Questionable for the
pictureg gwould, otherwise, prove the
ludicrous. Fashion has, for the time,
forgotten them, and they, ia return,
must forget or ignore the claims of
fashion, for it grows more and more
apparent that short costumes fare ia
an overwhelming ascendancy. Those
who dare will wear them shorter
than has hitherto been allowable, and
those who dare not must do as best
they can. Quite important will be
the summer sash, for the present is
essentially a season of ribbons. DON'T,
however, tie your sash around your
waist, bat drape it below in any way
you choose for all ways are right.
How TO MAKE
Summer costumes is 80 knotty a
question that an endeavor to explain
would be to confuse. So much is
permitted and we have so great a
variety. In this perplexity LET me
refer you to the illustrations in Lord
& Taylor's Spring Catalogue where
you will see everything desirable de-
picted to you. Besides, there is on
all topics Of interest not only illustra-
tions, but well written fashion arti-
cIes telling you SO much indeed, that
in comparison rny letters may seem
but improbable Having rolled
away this burden of care there is
room TO say a word er two as to ac.
eessaries. Il has keen nredictcd that
