FASHIONABLE FANCIES.

OLD gold sashes may be lined with
pale shade of pink.
SLEEVES formed of horizontal tucks
are added to the tucked Norfolk Jackets
of plain wool dresses. The skirt has
lengthwise pleats that are partly tucked.
A ROMAN scarf, with stripes of pale
shades of pink and blue, makes charm
ing wrap or drapery for the white toilets
worn by young ladies at wedding recep-
tions.
SLEEVELESS vests, opening from the
waist on waistcoat, are very fashionable
but they always require either large
collar In etamine and embroidery or a
full lace jabot.
SLEEVELESS jackets of surah, with
surplice fronts and a great sash bow in
the back, are worn over white muslin
dresses. They are made of sapphire
blue for blondes and dark garnet for bru-
nettes.
BRIDES wells at June weddings are fas-
tened by the traditional chaplet of flow
ers instead of by jewels. Diamond orna-
ments, formerly used for this purpose,
are now thrust irregularly in helace that
trims the neck of the dress.
INDIA foulards with designs that cover
the ground entirely make tasteful sum-
mer dresses. They are made up with
pIeated skirts and pannier drapery, with
plain satin for facings and pipings, frills
of creamy lace and hots of narrow rib
bons.
The most elegant matinees are of
satin foulard cut like Japanese over
dress, with loose square sleeves, worn
over short ruffed skirt. POmegranate
red and porcelain blue are the colors for
the gowns, and the skirts are OF white
surah.
MOUNTAIN dresses of flannel in order
to be of light weight are made all In one
piece without drapery. The waist is
fitted like a Jersey and the box-pleated
skirt is sewed to the edge OF the waist
with an erect heading of pleats around
the hips.
LILACs are the favorite flowers at
present. They are worn in two or three
shades on the bonnets of quite young
ladies; are arranged in clusters on even
ing dresses and are mingled with rose
buds in the great bouquets carried by
bridesmaids.
CREAM white null dresses have polka
dots an inch in diameter, wrought in
them in rows of chain stitching, forming
the japanese emblematic circle. This is
used for the pannier overdresf, while the
lower skirt has hounces of embroidery in
front with tucks across the full back
breadths.
To fix bonnet strings, many elegant
pins are devised; notably, two arrows
tied with ribbon, small umbrella in
pearls with diamond handle, running
hounds, owls heads and sets of five spar
rows strung on a silver thread. Beside
these there are eggs represented by
pearls IN a nest.
A FLEETING, but rather uncommon,
mode is to cut the cross bands from In
dian shawls and utilize them for trim
ming dresses. Thus a polonaisei In white
summer vicuna will be completed by
large Indian .revers in laveuse style, and
the accompanying skirt of white Sicil-
| iene will have the same bias set off by
silk pompon tassels falling over thick
white chlcoree.
REsEDA or mignonette, lime blossoms,
silver-greeD, silver-gray and violet are
colors to be very fashionably worn this
summer. A new shade, called 'Chinese
pheasant, has made its appearance, it
being the hue Of this birds neck feath-
ers. 1t combines admirably with black,
and is very popular in feathers and rib
bons for bonnets. The shade is lighter
than old gold, having touch of pale
amber in it.
