FASHION ITEMS.

seen on the new costumes are lined
with color contrasting with that of
the garment.
The Directoire style of costume
will be much worn during the sum-
per. 1t is especially adapted to the
Styles of materials now in fashion.
Designs in garden tools for orna-
menting hats and bonnets seem more
odd than pretty, but they neverthe-
less have a prominent place among the
new ornaments.
Cashmere lace is much used in mil
linery. This is not the cashmere lace
that was worn three years ago, but q
new lace with cashmere colors, and
embroidered with gold and silver
threads
The new Languedoc lace seem to be-
long exclusively to blondes, as few
brunettes have compilations so clear
as to be able to defy the yellow tinge
of this lace. But to blondes it is ex-
ceedingly becoming.
Among the many colors in silks are
changeable gorge de pigeon" with
blue heliotrope and blue, fire color,
and water green and mauve with gray.
These silks combine admirably with
satin.
English women have a genius foi
finding odd materials that will do TO:
gowns. The striped stuff Of which
petticoats are made is their last con-
quest. They make it into entire
suits for tennis. for skaters, and even
fashion bonnets Of it.
One of the new cotton fabrics is
satin striped Coutille, the same mater
ial which is used for corsets. 1t is
very handsome, and almost indestruct-
ible. 1t comes in the pompadours COL
ors and designs.
Very gay colors will be worn this
summer, especially dark reds, and no
costume, however quiet in hue, will
be complete without dash Of brill
liant color either in Innings, facings, or
a tiny plating at the bottom OF the
skirt.
A white chip hat has shirred lin
ing of heliouope Turc satin, strings of
the satin doubled and fringed at the
ends; the roses, pansies, viOlets, and
sweet eIysium clustered OH the top,
and a half wreath Of pale and dark
violets around the short curtain at the
back.
Redingotes are seen on a number of
the new costumes. They are of differ
ent STYLES, the handsomest of which
does not slope from the front, but is
cut perfectly straight from the collar
to the bottom, and falls gracefully
apart below the waist. These reding-
otes are lined with silk OF satin OF Il
contrasting color, and in many cases
of dark red.
A black lace bonnet has q broad,
fat crown covered with embroidered
lace i'll black jets and gold thread,
representing wheat ears; Il monture OF
crlmson-shaded silken peoples sur
rounds the face, which is bordercd
with gold lace; beaded black lace
strings, with gold lace OH the ends,
are fastened on the breast, with gold
dagger sheath.
Leghorn, Tuscan, Milan, split.
rough and-ready and English Straws
are all in about equal favor. These
may be either of the natural color OF
the straw or blended with touches OF
Oriental colorings. In TACT, one may
say that Oriental mixtures pervade
every article Of dress, ribbons, bonnets,
dresses, fans, parasoIs, hosiery, Iaces,
handkerchie1s, and wraps.
The doiman ulster is one of the new
est and most comfortable wraps Tor
shopping or travelling: then there is
the sleeveless ulster, with cavalry
cape caught across the breast with a
solitary button; the Brighton ulster,
with its long, straight skirt and big
pockets, like coaebInan's overcoat;
and the cloSe-titting ulster, with the
gay Persian lining, shirred in the
hood and patent clasp on the pocket.
