i EDITOR INTELLLGENcER:-For the trave-
fer there is nothing comparable to suit of
I iight, pure wool of dark color; the waist to
De superseded on occasions by jersey. As
| Ior example on q sultry day, when nothing
can equal in comfort the latter. Some wear
cloaks and some do not but for those who do
th~ n.sfan silape with loose sleeves, easily
| slipped of or on, is most popular, the favorite
| material being indistinctly checked or striped,
though mohair is also quite fashionable. Pre-
| tentious travelling dresses are made of sans
pareil popln trimmed with velvet or braid.
yet fire cashmere is also in demand for those
elegant outfits where each detail is scrupu-
lously looked after, and exact matching of
| hat, yell, the precise tone of the gloves, etc.,
is made subject of art study. But ordinary
humanity is wont 10 utilize almost any SER
Viceable costume where the journey is sub
servient to other questions, aud for going
short distance Lonlsine is often good choice,
though not strong enough for continued wear
by rail. Flannel suits are very durable, and
therefore good for travelling long journeys.
sUMMEE COSTUMES.
Beautiful summer outfits are seen ut Lord
& Taylor's, where from inexpensive goods to
richest material, an endless variety greets the
vision. Notlceably pretty are dress patterns
OF satteen In two kinds of the material, one
PLAIN, the other figured to form combination
costumes, each pattern being accompanied by
q fan and parasOl of the same satteen to match
This is one of the best ideas. and these
simple yet stylish costumes will be extremely
popular. Yelling, both white and cOlored, is
coquettishly trimmed with ribbon bows and
velvet; white costumes present attractions of
native purity, embellished with ribbon or
elvet, or the yellOwlsh white now SO much
liked is likewise adorned with material of 4
similar orlwidely opposite character. China
and India silks have large dom lin in a
general review of the summers pOmp. Com
binations of lace net aud silk are feature OF
the time, and effects as striking are thus
brought about by the simmer of one kind OF
silk which shows through its filmY yelling as
an offset to some different pattern placed in
combination. "Shot silks are much used for
such purpose, and will soon adorn American
beauties at Saratoga and Newport as they
now grace New York's costume departments
JUNE NOTES.
The combination of diamond and ruby
or diamond and Il sapphire is now fashion
able for an engagement ring. .at. q ....
As marked feature of the season are the
very dressy little mantles made for the MOS
part of rich velvet brocades. ...
Dog collars and broad bracelets have be
come fashionable, the most stylish being
made of antique heads linked together b,
chain mail plates.
-e;..es hIesy A.as-.-.. aud oaran bernhard
have appeared In Nonpareil velveteen it il
more than ever the rage.
Terry cotton. a material resembling Turk
ish toweling in its rough surface, is brough
out in bright colored stripes and made tut,
sacques, wrappers or dressing jackets.
Gathered spencer waists, such rs wer'
fashionable many years ago, are being mad,
up to wear with skirts of different colors Of
materials. Lace, white or black or Sural
are usually employed. and the belt or sasl
giving finish may be of Surah, velvet or plair
silk Of suitable color.
Parties Ot pleasure seekers now spent
weeks on board of yacht in much the same
way as they would gather in country man
sion. Ladies wear very dressy costumes Al
dinner and gentlemen do their best in the way
OF sWallow-tails. For morning, however
nothing is found to rival wool costume, anC
flannel dresses are much in vogue. --
