Ribbon velvet. which has long been
discarded, is again coming in as trim
ming for dresses. 1t is used in con-
trasts of light and dark shades, either
very narrow, like the braid for braid
work, or In different widths; in this
case it is 80 arranged that the widest
comes at the bottom of the founce
and is then graduated off to the mar
rOwest.
A woman has been appointed regis
trar of births and deaths in an Eng.
lish town, and great has been the dis
may of some at this entry of the thin
end of what may prove very thick
wedge. 1t came out, however, that
the woman had been for some time
registrar. de fact, and the appointment
was only a sanction of her tenure, de
jure.
The charming fashion of wearing
wash dresses of pattern materials has
brought out painted muslins for the
hot summer DAYS. Both dark and
light grounds are exceedingly popu-
lar, and these muslins should be ar
ranged over a skirt of thin silk. If
this foundation is made of muslin, it
should be of a very delicate hue and
plain in color, so as not to interfere
with the one above it.
The new NANTES are of the richest
brocaded Sieilienue and velvet, gauze
trimmed with cut jet and Chantilly
lace. There is greater novelty. per-
haps, in those destined for evening.
They are made in gold and black, and
in red and gold brocade, lined with
rich satin. The chief novelty is the
handmade embroidery on some of the
richest; the passementerie and lace
are worked in silk.
The loveliest of summer hats il q
large white Leghorn, trimmed with
white lace, a pale blue feather and
delicate shaded roses. The long
feather appears on the side under
tufts of roses, then disappears again
under semi-wreath of flowers, and is
then brought through the brim Of the
hat, to which it clings closely. An.
other handsome hat is white straw,
trimmed with white feathers and PINK
rosebuds.
Exceedingly singular is a straw
collar tor children, which has appear
ed under the protection Of German
patent. 1t is made of stout linen,
with colored lining. aud covered on
the outside with black and white
straw plaits, the border at the edge;

. pIalts. As the collar can be worn
with every costume and does not neet
changing every day, it is most suitable
and useful for country wear and fol
/ travelling.
