ground with pale mauye flowers scattered
over H. The skirt was covered with three
iiounCes with narrow tuckS on the edge OF
each A short, full tunic above was
trimmed with a double ruf11e of the finest
of torchon lace, and the muslin bodice,
which was a perfect tit being made up
over a lining OF pale mauye percale), was
cut away in front, revealing dainty vest
of white lace. From the sides of this bod
ice was brought a band of violet satin rib
bon which tied in front, falling in shower
of loops over the tunic The elbow sleeves
were edged with lace, and the wearer of
this dainty dress was rs pretty as picture,
which certainly had great deal to do with
the marked effect of the costume itself.
Some very elaborate frocks, worn by two sis
tiers, were made as follows: One of cream
colored foulard, had the entire front
covered with ruf1les of Vandyke red lace
set on full from waist to hem. The back
part was fully draped under broad sash
Of red surah. The foulard bodice was
pointed front and back, with a very full
blouse wastcoat Of the red surah let into
the former and strapped across at intervals
with straps Of red velvet held with tiny cut
steel buckles Long red silk gloves, acream
lace hat, with red velvet bows, and sun
shade covered with red lace complete the
details The second toilet was of dark blue
lOuiard with birdS'-eyc spots of red, with
tOquc, gloves. Sunshade and hose TO match.
The wearCrs seemed to hav9come down with
countless relays in Their trunks, never APP
pearing twice in the same attire. One after
noon they walked forth clad in costumes
OF black lace glittcring with embroidcries
and pendants of jet beading, with black
satin sunshadcs en- suite, black silk mitS,
and jet-beaded gipsies of black lace The
= :. al,
sunshine was too dazzling to look al long
al time; SO the gaze Of many was often
turned to the wearer of the maue muslin,
who put on this same simple toilet every
afternoon, yet always looked cool, ladvlille,
trim and happy in spite OF her apparent
lack Of wall-Glled trunks.
Mohair is very much employed this sea-
son for dust preSerYeTS, travelling wraps and
summer mantles in general, for even i'll the

ment whatever besides pretty pompadour
buttons or Opcu-Wo~ll metal buttons.
