being revived.
Pulled bindings of velvet or satin
upon the edges of Langtry turbans and
the brims of bonnets and large round
hats will be in great use this autumn.
The newest tennis hats are made of
gray satin open-work straw, faced with
cardinal, and trimmed with peacock
feather ends and sea-gulFs wing.
Dark red waistcoats and revers,
Closely covered with gold braid, are
considered very stylish. A silver gray
dress embroidered in silver, with white
watered silk vest, likewise embroidered,
is unique and delicate-looking dress
for special occasions, but one that soon
bears its date.
Monograms are now embroidered in
very heavy work, but are small in size.
They are executed in comparatively
plain style, without any arabesque or
floral device surrounding them. Hand
kerchiefs in shot muslin are carried
with dresses of the same material, and
are worked with one of the brightest
colors of the muslin. The effect, how
ever. is not good, and colored and fly
ured handkerchiefs, like colored silk
underwear, are merely passing eccen-
tricity of la mode.
The cream spotted muslins, printed
with sprays of scarlet or pink geranium
blossoms or lunches of small china as
tiers, are much worn, and are usually
cut Ia Vatican. They are both quaint
and pretty looking, and, if properly
made, look as if they had just been
taken out from between The lavender
and pot pourri of your grandmother 8
chest. When not in Vatican style
these dresses are made short wasted,
with loose bodices, and a wide bebe
sash tied around the waist.
The usual eccentricities are showing
themselves in parasols. Some are made
of straw in the same way as round hats.
They are then adorned with flowers, a
favorite garniture being a border OF
hanging peoples, the stalks showing
very effectively. Crimson-tipped dali
sizes and stems are also used. They are
fiat, like the japanese sun-shades of last
season. Some are made of colored
straw, but the ''chicest" are white.
Worth is making up brocaded plushes

and dark laurel green, in combination
with heavy ottoman silk of the latter
shade, and also in sapphire blue and
dark amber plush combined with dark
blue ottoman, etc. These dresses are
made short, with graceful pouf draper

bining the two fabrics. The jackets
are of the brocaded plush, with vests of

buttons initiating real gems.
