square and caught up on the left side,
the other full, short, rounded, and much
looped over the hips -are seen upon the
latest importations from Paris.
Cunning little low-necked, short
sleeved dresses for children are made
of pink, blue, and strawberry sateen,
surah, chambery, or linen, embroidered
or plain, over plated waists of white
muslin or guimpeS with sleeves.
New autumn cheviots, tweedS, sergeS,
and basket cloths are mostly in plaids,
in even or irregular patterns, and in
quiet neutral tones of fawn color, nuns
gray, pale golden brown, and the like,
enlivened BY stripes or dashes OF scarlet
and gold. -,
Among the most popular of watering
place dresses appear a variety of cree
tonnes and foulards with very light
ground and designs, in the conventional
floral style designated as the "Renais-
sanse. Cream-color is the one excep-
ton to this temporary rule. In woollens
it is used as foundation for paysan
bouquets, or for the more severe designs
of flowers and fruit, such as fare seen
upon bits of Louis XIII. tapestry.
The number of mantles of thin bro
caded materials upon transparent
ground has notably increased of late.
These materials are chiefly brocaded
silk gauze, with raised designs in silk,
velvet, or of finest silk grenadine in
raised patterns of satin. The mantles
are in the shape of pelerines, largo
fichus. or elegant pelisses. They are
lined with gold, mauve, or scarlet surah,
and the effect is exceedingly rich and
stylish.
One of the prettiest and newest berthas
for the summer is of tinted India silk
null, upon he border of which are APP
pliqued natural-size flowers and fOliagS
cut from a piece of velvet brocade.
One in the Stuart shape is made of pale
violet-tinted null, upon which are APP
pliqued large pansies of purple and gold
velvet. Another, in delicate pink is
bordered with dark rose-colored buds
covered with velvet moss, and sur
rounded with dark-green velvet leaves.
For lawn-tennis suits, especially III
vogue during September, round waists,
or snug-ftting basques, with zouave
With the round waist will be worn the
charming little gypsy fichus of painted
or stamped muslin in two colprs Of
crimson and and cream, almond and
pale blue, or willow-green ground
painted or stamped with blush roses.
The fichu laps at the belt in front, and
is crossed or knotted in the back. 1t is
edged with lace, or with plated frills Of
the muslin.
Dress skirts are growing decidedly
fuller and wider, and this decided ten
dency to bouffant styles has, as history
plainly reveals, been almost invariably
the forerunner Of crinoline, and crino-
line we are to have unless scores of man
ufacturers. who have summoned their
hitherto idle forces and begun the work
anew of making hoop-skirts, have
listened to a delusive rumor of their
coming popularity. 1t is surprising as
well as amusing to note the remarks OF
importers and modistes upon this SUBJ
juct, their opinions being as varied as
the present weather.

BILE the best of Grape. 1t is firm, ex-
ceedingly durable and glossy, but with
out the elasticity of Grape. 1t is called
Grape imperial, and is likely to find a
large and lasting sale, as it has all the
effect of Grape proper, without the dis
advantage of that material, being quite
impervious to dampness, and guaran-
teed to wear as long as cashmere or
any other woollen fabric. 1t is appro-
pirate either for trimming or an entire
costume.
The variety of the seasons dress ma
terials is endless, and so, for the matter
of that, is the variety of colors, only
regarding colors there is limit, for
although there are more bewildering
hues and tones in the shop windows
than one could give name to, only q
portion of these are worn by people who
pretend to dress well. Grays at home
and abroad are very fashionable
in all shades, French, slate, electric,
Quaker, and soft and beautiful nuns
gray-all are worn. These colors APP
pear in dresses of tulle, garnished with
garlands of scarlet roses or peoples,
and in silk, satin, and foalard, softened
with trimmings of lace, either white or
black.
The tailor-made dresses are to be more
than ever the fashion the coming sea-
son. Ladies possessing good figures
know that their perfect fit shows the
form to he-fnest advantage, and those
less favored by Nature are also aware
that there is nothing like a slightly
rough-surfaced fabric to give an in
creased look to the size of their slender
arms and shoulders. Some of these
suits are made up in the severest style,
white others are remarkably jaunty and
picturesque, with cutaway jackets and
crimson serge waistcoats in old Cont
mental style, large pocket flaps adorned
with bright buttons in old medal de-
signs, and deep panelled skirts, over
which are draped the smartest and nat
test of short tunics, piped with GRIM
