The following appears in the New York
Times as the latest hints for ladies' dress
materials and dress costumes at the East:
All rich costly, fancy fabrics are imi-
tated in more ordinary tissues, such as
wooden brocade and glazed wooden mate.
rails. As the season advances these de.
signs will be reproduced in linen and
cotton goods. Skirts for suits of these
figured materials are very narrow, and
when of costly tissues they are invariably
of alpaca or of ordinary faille covered
with the fancy drapings. Sometimes the
underskirts have two deep lace founces
which fall over a silk plating, while the
overdress is plated. The coquille
apron is very suitable for light fabrics. 1t
is sewed to the belt in close plaits which
are folded down underneath. The plaits
become wider toward the back, so as to
form a kind of shell trimming, which is
taken in with The draping. This same
arrangement of draping is below the
tournure disposed in two she'll
shaped pufhngs, the lowest one
fastened against the lower part of the
shirts under ribbon loops in the colors of
the unique. For skirts of light fabrics,
pufings and full drapings are most used.
Skirts for young women are covered with
tiny hounces alternating in embroidery and
lace. Satinettes are striped or stamped
with designs of birds heads, flowers, etc.
Painted satinettas are Of very fine quality
of goods, and are generally trimmed with
imitation brownish lace. Stamped piques
will also be employed. Scarf mantilas are
to be worn over dresses of this kind. They
will be of Valenciennes, maliRes, guipure,
or old point lace, bordered with deep ruff
hes to match. Old point and Valenciennes
laces are preferred to sny other kind for
this purpose. Very full neck ruchings are
the style, as well as large "pierrot" col
lara. Many tichus are in one piece. The
most suitable style for a rather stout
figure is the Marie Stuart shape 1t forms
very narrow vest, which terminates in a
point on the waist. a becoming style for
a slight person is in the shape of the ace of
clubs turned upward, which makes the
bust sppear larger.
Cloaks of fancy wooden goods are to be
much worn. A very good quality of tar
tan is employed for this purpose. The
cloaks serve for carriage wear, busters and
waterproofs. The favorite color for these
is pain benz" The shape is a shirred
Prussian blouse with the sleeves broad at
the hand and raised On the shoulders, where
they are often gathered. These garments
are lined with heavy faille in the same
color, which is sewed plainly against the
goods, so as to form kind of body for the
shirrs to sit against. These blouses may
also be lined with silk or satin in the new
shades, in striped or plaid designs. Many
of these are of :" corah des Indies, lined
with satin meryeilleux in bright hues.
Some of these garments will oe of ecru
tulle lace, lined with corah They will
also be the rage for children, and are beau
tiful when of red foulard or of Adrian
ople, made so as to completely cover the
toilet. Children from five to six years of
age wear these blouses with large Aureole
hats and red socks.
Superb summer CONNECTIONS may be of
Chantilly lace founces, combined with
tulle, worked with large chenille designs.
These mantillas are in three pieces. The
body is of plain plated tulle placed against
black, seal cslored or caroubier" surah.
The position is of two Chantilly lace
fiounces Joined aud arranged in butterfly
loops, with long ends. These are lined
with surah. This garment is easy to make,
and is very beautiful when worn over sum-
mer evening toilets. Another novelty is
to have CONNECTIONS with the body of plain
goods, while the Renaissance or viste
sleeves are of fEconne in velvet or che.
nile in relief, worked with beads or cord
ings.
All dresses made of brocatelle or wooden
suiting may have mantillas or mantles to
match. If the material is plain it is best
to make the mantle short like a cape, with
two cores on the. shoulders, and to trim the
sleeve with ball fringe and ruched faille
heading. If the material is rich, then the
Recamier mantle may be made, with
two draped ends crossed over the breast,
and each fastened under a metal horse.
shoe. The "ltecamier" hat is worn with
this mantle. II is of Leghorn straw, with
broad brim, surrounded by wreath of
peoples. Many beaded mantillas and
capes are made for dressy purposes. They
sit tightly to the figure. Some very light
capes are of black lace, without beading,
for walking purposes, and white lace ones
are employed for driving and dressy occa.
sions.
The favored style for shoes is CATERS

the stockings. These serve for visiting
and walking purposes. For heavy walk

garments are made correspondingly narrow.
All chemises are pointed. These are called
princess chemises, and some of them are so
tight fitting that they are cut open in the
back like childrens aprons, and close by
means of buttons and button. holes. Some
times the waist and drawers are Joined,
