of some bold floral design.
All dresses are lavishly trimmed
with frills of lace, the skirts of many
being entirely covered with narrow
flounces or with rows ef graduated
widths on batistes of all pale shades.

yoke or a vest of white embroidery,

The small Fanchon that Jocks like
half handkerchief has returned af-
ter long oblivion and is like bed of
flowers. One of the most graceful is

are not so much seen, perhaps, as
those made of plain vanished wood.

handle, are more generally seen on
rvery day parasols; but there is end
less variety and diversity enough to
please the most fastidiOus.

and 81 yer net are all widely used for
the crowns of fashionable bOnnets.
