come In admirable mixtures of all the
new cOlOrs and shades.
When the material permits, the flounce
scallOped into the form of a dOg-t0oth
moulding is most effective.
Dark blue and combinations of white
and blue and blue and red are the popular
colors for bathing suits.
The Louis XIV. costume and everything
which pertains to the Pompadour period
is more than ever in vogue.
Back drapery must be ample, whether
it descends below the large pouf or falls
straight to the bottom of the skirt.
Paniers are short and full, made in
every variety of shape, and often open
over the middle of the front breadth.
Violet. lilac, pansy, heliotrOpe. dahlia,
and many other red tints of purple are
fashionable for silk and wool costumes.
Pansies of all colors and sizes on
grounds of various cOlOrs appear in chene
effects on some sash ribbons and scarfs.
Scotch plaid glace silk of very dark
cOlOrs are used in combination with surah
and cashmere for semi-dress costumes.
Sun umbrellas are to match the color
of the dress, and are mounted on thick
Oaken sticks, with handles studded with
gold.
Underskirts are made very simple, the
most frequent trimming consisting of a
simple pleating or full ruche around the
bottom.
The high novelty in walking suits in
Paris is a combination of fine black cash
mere and white MORE on white Ottoman
silk.
Wash goods and fine wool stufis are
used for children's summer dresses. Silk
is used only under sheer muslin and lace
dresses.
A most becoming bodice for evening
dresses has the neck cut square in front
and the back mounting half high in
Medicis collar.
The requisite dash of yellow in white
toilet is sometimes given by wearing an
amber necklace and amber bracelets, or
with yellow topaz jewelry.
1t is fashionable to wear very large
sunshades of printed satinette to match
costumes of the same. The large fan is
also made to correspond, orr else it is
bright red.
The tunic in every variety of arrange
ment, short in front or low enough to
touch the border pleating of the skirt,
raised high on the left side or opened in
front, is much worn.
Remarkable toilets made by Worth are
of JOuIlOnne tulle over satin, with velvets
and pansies fastened separately, leaving
the stalks and leaves visible in the folds
all over the skirt.
The newest foulard silks and cotton ma
terials have designs of fruits and nuts on
a light ground. The green pistache nuts,
clusters of pears, cherries and berries are
of natural size and color.
Bronze colored shoes and stockings to
match are a late English fashion with
full dress toilets. Walking shoes have
the uppers Of light drab kid or cloth, or
are checked or striped like the dress.
One of the novelties in evening dress is
the three-pOinted train, and with it is the
three-pointed basque, which means that
the cOrsage end in three points, back and
front; but this is not a pretty fashion.
Bath cloaks to put on when leaving the
water are of white or striped Turkish
tOweling. made very loose and long to
conceal the wearer. They have pointed
hoods, belts and sleeves trimmed with
gay c0lOred braid.
Tussore silk parasols have long sticks
of bamboo, to be used as an alpenstOck in
country rambles. Bright red silks with
white rings, and blue silk with double
rings of white, red and gold are the new
est colorings.
Ruching is again worn inside the neck
band of dress, and is now edged with the
finest of lace, either fiat Valenciennes,
Oriental or Pompadour. The ruche often
trims the edge of the front of waist a
fingers length.
The most fashionable of the white toilets
worn this summer, instead of being re-
lieved by the usual cOlors of rose color,
blue or mauYe, will be enlivened by the
newer shades of French terra Gotta, tea
rose, shrimp pink and the like.
The vestal robe of white nuns yelling is
a novel Princesse dress with shoulder
pleats that are girdled around the waist
and spread out in curves from the hips to
the foot. The belt is of dark velvet fas-
tened by white silver buckle.
Fans of tinted ostrich feathers, mounted
on tortoise shell, are still the height of
style for evening dress. They are oval in
shape, and usually have brilliantly
plumaged bird, or a cluster of lilies or
roses set in the centre of the fan.
The panier cOrsage is in favor for
dresses of soft summary tissues. 1t has
the front gagged on the shoulders and at
the waist. Below this it forms full pa
niers that sweep away to each side, drape
the hips, and meet in large bow on the
back.
Young girls wear large, white rough
and-ready straw hats of fantastic shape,
with pulled null inside the brim, and a
ostrich tips and bunch of fOrget-me-nots
or rosebuds are added.
Camlets in broken checks, tweeds,
camePs hair and new plaid cloths with a
bird, cat or dragon in each square, are
made up in long travelling cloaks that
cover the dress, and are only fastened
once at the throat by long ribbons tied in
a bow.
Alligator skin and patent leather slip
pers, made in Marie AntOinette style, are
worn by ladies in the house. The alliga-
tor leather has beautiful markings, and
may be dyed many cOlors, but is most
fashionable in its natural shade and in
black and dark red.
Bathing suits are now made all in one
piece, covering the wearer from the neck
nearly to the ankles. On the belt of this
garment is buttoned skirt that Grapes
the figure. The single long garment is
made of two pieces-a blouse waist and
trousers that are permanently joined in
one at the belt.
White Sicilienne dresses trimmed with
white Valenciennes lace are the most
charming toilets for young ladies to wear
at summer weddings and dinners. The
Valenciennes flOunces cover the front of
the skirt, and the bodice is half low,
pointed back and front with Valenciennes
sleeves. The neck is filed in with gath
cred lace.
A coarse wooden material like that used
for horse covers is preferred in Paris for
travelling dresses. The make is simple in
the extreme, consisting of plain skirt
without flounce or kilt, and the tunic is
gathered into a few natural folds, but
without trimming of any kind. The only
ornaments allowed are bands of velvet
around the skirt.
