FASHIONABLE FANCIES,

PLUSH is the trimming for the next
season. --gl. sr
YELLOW maintains its sway as a favor
lite color. .#
NETWORK corsets should be worn in
summer.
WArERED Irish poplins are achieving
a great success.
WHITE with lemon color is one of the
fashionable combinations for summer
dresses. .as Up. ... ..... -s. r.
SEVERAL colors producing the effect of
mixture appears in many of the sum-
mer tafetas. .s.
PALE blue or pale pink muslin dresses
dispute the majority with sprigged and
polka-dotted patterns.
CHEAP material covered with expensive
trimming is one of the inconsistencies of
fashion IN ladies' dresses.
SOME Of the newest paniers on i'm
ported dresses are formed of great pleats
that stand out as if they we're wired.
THE "rococo BODICE" now in fashion,
has one or two soft puffs gathered on the
edge of the basque and around the v
shaped neck.
The small pelerine that has one fchu
end caught up to the left shoulder and
fastened there by bow, is In great
favor with summer dresses. .t
WHITE pique waistcoats, with collars
rolling over the velvet or cloth collar of
the tabernacle jackets, are much worn
by little girls on the other side.
ALMOND TINTED cashmere, adorned
with embroideries of red carnations and
ox-eyed daisies, forms one of number
of elegant French tea gowns just inn
ported. ....- ~.
BLACK velvet dog collars fastened with
q plain gold button are all therage among
the ladies this season, and the origin of
the fashion is attributed to the Princess
of Wales. t
LUNCH cloth, wherewith to make
picturesque lawn party, is in the new
elegant shade of cardinal, with gold bro
caded borderiDgs and deep fringe of the
same yellow hue.
BEADS are as much the rage as ever.
In almost every shape, and Ia every
shade of color they glitter on dress,
wrap, gloves, parasol and slipper. This
mania is quite as great abroad as with
us.
VELVET collars on cotton dresses are
homogeneous and warm, yet it is the
whim of the modistes to use them, es-
pecially on very dark sateen dresses that
are worn an entire season without being
washed.
1T is getting to be quite the fashion
this summer to wear the waves of false
hair over the forehead which but short
time ago were looked upon by most
ladies as too STACEY and wig-like to be
endured. h'a ~.
SLEEVES are excessively Short and
gloves correspondingly long. Dress
skirts are shrinking upward, being short
enough all around to display the hand
some tinted and embroidered stocking,
as well as the shoe. Boots are seldom
worn with evening dress, and satin is
the favorite material for the very fash
ionable Beatrice sandals.
RIBBON of every shade, design and
width forms an important part in the
costumes of the day. The old-fashioned
stiff bow is seldom seen, the modern ar
rangements being designated as cas-
cades, flats, plaques, choux, or pom
pons; and a dressy dress, or even sim
pie morning toilet, new looks incomplete
and expressioniess until some adornment
of ribbon has been added. z=. .s.- F..
WHITE or black dresses are frequently
adorned with multi-colored ribbons,
hoops and long streamers, or jabots in
mixtures of colors-olive, gray and
pink, or pale blue, cardinal and terra
Gotta, for instance, being conioined.
Primrose, bronze brown and crimson
form another fashionable combination,
but the slightest error in tint destroys
all the good effect. Well blended, this
simple trimming sufficiently brightens
the somberest toilet. @
