mented with bows Of wide ribbon. For
country walking wear there are huge
eretonnes, and for dress purposes parasols
OF lovely transparent lace, laid over gilt
frame, and showing only a centre OF tinted
satin and satin bow upon the gilded stick.
NEW TRIMMINGS
are so diversified that they adapt them
selves TO all materials. The prettiest pas
sementerie is a combination or duh and
satin finished cords which are made to
form leaf and variously shaped designs,
and are then connected by a close mesh.
Escurial lace consists of a lace mesh
combined with gauzy sort Of grenadine
to form whole leaf and flower designs, the
outlines worked in an oyer-and-Oyer en-
broidery stitch which forms a sort of cord.
This lace is much used in connection with
the satin passementeries, and is effective
upon Ottoman silk and satin merYeilleux.
The beaded trimmings are much used,
especially in black and white and copper
color, the latter unreasonable tint having
acquired an unexpected following.
Ribbons are as much used as ever, and
new idea for belt is obtained by plait-
ing satin ribbons of three different colors
or shades in square pattern and finish
ing with hanging loops Of all the colors.
This is pretty novelty for glngham or
lawn trimmed with parti-c0lored embroi-
derry.
The combination of material still forms
a very convenient and popular mode Of
deciding the trimming question. The
union of plain with figured fabrics, the
broehed and tapestried or brOcaded ma
terials with plain silk, satin, or wool, and
the embroidery in bands, ornamented de-
signs, or upon the fabric, are all in high
vogue.
Velvet, too, holds its own, and is used
both IN broad bands and many rows of
narrow, straight, or cross-barred lines.
A new Princesse ulster has full front to
a line below the waist; from this narrow
pledtfng plating TO the edge of the skirt.

unnecessary.
THE PRETTIEsT LAWN TENNIS DRESSES
are made of striped flannel skirts and
over-dress of white flannel. The stripes
are in red, old blue, or old gold, with
black, and lines of white. Only the color
and the lines show when they are killed;
and the white over-dress has collar and
cuffs of the gold color, upon which may
be embroidered the emblems of the game.
The flannel upper dress is of the simplest
AOAAu pOScADAS, anu has NJ lIluilullSs SA-
cept this contrast in color. The blouse
cut and the bodice gathered into a belt
are the styles preferred. The apron is
very short, and there is drapery at the
back.
Itcannotlbe said, however, that any filed
form which more or less binds the arm is
so good as the elastic Jersey, which is
undoubtedly the best and most conYe-
nient bodice for all outdoor sports-ten-
mis-, boating, archery, and the new cricket
which gentlemen usually prefer to tennis,
and which is beginning to be a ladies'
game. A suitable costume stands as the
most formidable obstacle in the way of
this game being adopted, or rather revived
as lawn or field game, for it was played
in England sixty years ago by women of
all ranks. But the Jersey waist and
accordion" skirt solve the problem of
dress for all outdoor sports and exercises.
The new tennis hats are "rough and
ready sailor styles, with band OF velvet
or twist of silk and spray of white
chestnut blossoms, cowslips, corn flowers
or hops. They are higher than the high
hats which are so common and so ridicu-
lousy overdOne as to have become a
caricature. JENNY JUNE.
