Cotton Dresses.


Cotton Dresses.
The cotton dresses made up for both
morning and afternoon wear are OF the
new changeable Chamberys, the per
Gales with white grounds, the tapestry
figured cambrics, batistes, the oil cali
Goes that are turkey red, white, OF
cream-color, the zephyr ginghams. ane
the satteens that look like India silks
The newest French fabric is the Cham
berry cotton shot with two colors pre-
cisely as the changeable silks are, and
this may be had with plain grounds, OF
else wrought all over with little figure:
of flowers, birds or fruits. One Erenchy
dress has peacocks of tiny size in blut
shades brocaded on changeable red anc
cream ground; this is trimmed with
many rows of creamy Valenciennes lace
and loops of blue velvet ribbon. Another
of red and blue pla Chambery. though
entirely a cotton facric, is made uT
over changeable silk of the same shades
and is trimmed with fine pleatings o
the material arranged in four row;
across the front and sides, covering all
that part of the skirt not hidden by .
fully wrinkled over-skirt. Some vel
lowish lace forms square plastron on
the basque with collar and frills ON
the sleeves One of the favorite trim
mings for such a dress is ecru embroid
ery done on muslin about three inches
wide, laid plain from the collar 10"
down Oh the bust to represent rom
ma lour square, and above this is BY
ron collar made entirely of the EN-
broidery. On the sleeves there is full
frill of the embroidery falling toward
the hand. headed by plain band or cuD
of the embroidery turned back on the
sleeve, with the scallops on the upper
edge.
Some of the newest percales have
white or cream grounds with coloreo
figure. and the fancy is to trim these
with flounces of the same. scalloped
on the lower edge with blue OF
red to match that of the flower OF
figure; this is very pretty with blue corn
flowers strewn over the white ground,
and the gathered rutlies needle-workeo
in two shades of blue to make double
scallops These percales with smooth,
dull surfaces are sent out by Partisan
modlstes in preference to the cottor
satteens that have been in favor of late
One of the prettiest has a pale blue
ground with bright, many-colored Fer
sian figures on it, and another has
pains that appear to be done in he
cross sashes of tapestry, though the de.
sign is printed. not woven. Another
very gay parcale dress has Turkey
red ground with birds nests printed
upon it, into which small yellow bird:
are ilyinr: this is made with two deep
flounces folded in a ordiOn pleats, anc
edged with cream tinted Falenciennes
lace. The overdress is polOnaise with
full fronts and festOoned drapery o
most graceful design; it is really 9
BASQUE fitted to the figure straight
around the hips, and the drapery is at
tached to this; the full gathered vest Is
sewed at the top W tn standing rec
velvet collar, and this vest is continued
below to form a tablier in one piece
with it, which falls like very deer
apron in front, and is caught up on the
| left sid by a velvet bow: just back OF
this bow on the left side q short fes
TONED drapery is added. and nils in the
space between the apron and back
drapery, making the hips sufficient y
bouffant. The back drapery is also At
tached to the basque, being sewed upon
| it as if over . roll: there is cushion
pad to serve as a hustle, and a small
roll or pad of hair is placed in eact
sleeve Just around the armhole. Their,
are also dresses of plain Turkey red OF
calico deliberately embroidered wisf
white palms. and there are plain whit
calicoes with wrought borders of brown
heliotrope violet or dark red. One o
the stylish printed cOttons has cream
ground with design of Interrogation
points done in poppy red, and anothc
of light blue has lunches OF streaket
apples in red and yellow shades. Th'
batistes in yellow tints with red horse
shoes woven upon them make st, isl
dresses when trimmed with the ecrl
embro:d ries that have red of tn
same shade in them. Wide stripe
of two shades of color or els
in contrasting colors are on the I'M
ported gingham dresses, both OF tn,
French zephyr giLghams and the Seotc!
ginohams. The stripes are two inche
wide. and are used differently in dill
ferent parts OF the dress; for instance
thev are arranged around the skirt il
pleats fourth OF yard broad, an'
deep enough to cover all the foundation
skirt below the over-skirt. The ovei
skirt. on the contrary, has the stripe
lengihwise, and forms fan by BEN
