Summer Dresses.

Printed null dresses, TIarpCr's B0:ur
tells us, arc the novelty for Watering
place toilcttCs. This is the shcrrcst
white null, rs silky looking as guazc or
as India muslin, and on this transparent
surface arc flowers of most natural luo
and design, printed thcrc by Somo fine
process that makes them look as if
painted by hand. The great rose pat
terms arc liked by young ladies', wlrilO
their mothers wear the scabirusc flower,
and purple fcar dc lis, or bmchcs OF
pansics or lilacs. These thin tissues arc
made up over white silk, a separate white
under waist answering with several
dresses, but the silk skirt has the ma
terial placed directly on in each breadth,
and scwcd up with it III its seams.
Flounces of scantiIy gathered white
lace arc the trimmings, and the SKIRT
! when finished is of scarcely pcrcrptlhlo
WEIGHT. Seven nounccs OF the lace cross
the front and sides, but only two pass
oround tbc skirt. The short full dra-
now crosses IN front, has n lace rill on
ihc edoc, and its longer back brcadths
oro looDcd to represent great sash bow
with ends. Some of the waists aro
hosmcs SHRED in surpicc shape, and
others arc baby waists full and bcltcd,
with the neck cut square. Tho waist
lining of silk is also high in the back,
but is cut out in point or square to
match tho outside waist. Roso or olive
satin ribbons arc made into loops for
these dresses, matching either tive flower
or its foliage III color. Dark velvet OF
pansy colorcd velvet riblons arc used
when the flowers are Of these darb
