fancy siraws trimmed with squares OF fan

IN the corners. It requires great skill TO
drape these scarfs properly.
MISSES GARDEN AND SEASIDE HATS

hat depends upon the way in which IL Is
trimmed, as the hat itself only costs about
twenty cents In Paris. There are ribbons

for these hats, as well "a coarse woollen
guipurc lace, wooIlen ribbons. ribbons in
pale faded colors, or red. white. aud wood

Sometimes modistes furnish several cock

tended for petticoats, is now made into
country and travelling suits. Some OF
these have broad red stripes placed at dis
tant intervals on a navy-blue ground. A
suit OF this kind has the skirt covered with
baud OF goods striped lengthwise. The
tunique Is Of plain blue material. with
striped drapings. The plain blue waist is
plated, and has large striped sailor col.
lar. II opens in front over n vest which Is
striped crosswse like Sailors vest. This
Is an odd and novel fashion, and in Paris
all Young girls have at least one suit OF
skirtinc.
Red suits are worn. but not as much as
they were last year.

waists have two points and some only one,
with redingote back. Draped p0lonaises
are also made. as well as jackets. that open
