Written For TIE HERALD.
For the traveller there is nothing COM
parable to suit of light, pure wool of
dark color; the waist to be superseded
on occasion by a jersy. As for example
on sultry day, when nothing can
equal in comfort the latter. Some
wear cloaks and some do not, but for
those who do the Raglan shape with
loose sleeves, easily slipped off or on,
is most popular, the favorite material
being indistnctly checked or striped
though mohair is also quite fashionable.
Pretentious travelling dresses are made
of sanspareil poplin trimmed with vel
vet or braid, yet fine cashmere is also
in demand for those elegant outfits
where each detail is scrupulously looked
after, and exact matching of hat, veil,
the precise tone of the gloves, ETC., is
made a subject of art study. But ordi-
nary humanity is wont to utilize almost
any serviceable costume where the jour
ney is subservient to other questions,
and for going short distance Louisine
is often a good choice, though not
strong enough for continued wear by
rail. Flannel suits are very desirable
for travelling long journeys.
SUMNER COSTUMES.
Beautiful summer outfits are seen at
Lord and Taylor's, where from mex
pensiye goods to richest material, an
endless variety greets the vision. No
ticeably pretty are dress patterns of
satteen in two kinds of the material, one
plain. the other figured to form combin-
alton costumes, each pattern being ac-
companied by a fan and parasol of the
same satteen to match. This is one of
the best ideas of the season, and these
simple yet stylish costumes will be ex-
tremely 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 vel
vet, or the yellowish white now SO much
liked is likewise adorned with material
of a similar or widely opposite charac
ter. China and Indian silks have a
large domain in general review of the
summers pomp. Combinations of
lace net and silk are feature of the
time, and effects as novel as striking
are thus brought about by the simmer
of one kind of silk which shows through |
its tilmy yelling as an Offset to so me
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 a |
ruby or a diamond and sapphire is now
fashionable for an engagement ring. |
As marked feature of the sea-
son are the very dressy little nantes
made for the most part Of rich velvet |
brocades. Dog collars and broad |
bracelets have become fashionable, the |
the most stylish being made of antique |
heads linked together by chain mail |
plates. Since Mary Anderson and |
Sarah Bernhardt have appeared in Non
pareil velyeteen it is more than ever
the Terry cotton, material |
resembling Turkish towing in its rough |
surfaced brought out in bright colored |
stripes and made into sacques, wrappers
or dressing jackets. - Gathered |
spencer waist, such as were fashionable |
many years ago, ere being made up to |
wear with skirts of different colors or |
materials. Lace, white or black or
Surah are usually employed, and the
belt or sash giving finish may be of |
Surah, velvet or plain silk of suitable |
color. of pleasure seekers |
now spend weeks on board of a yacht |
in much the same way as they would |
gather in u country mansion. Ladies |
wear very dressy costumes at dim
ner and gentlemen do their best in |
the way of swallow-tais For morning.
however, nothing is found to rival |
wool costume, and flannel dresses are |
much in vogue.
