toilet that may please her fancy.
The English style of full, round,
trimmed skirt, or plain under petticoat

the waist and undraped in the back,
seems to gain in favor only. With this

bodice Is worn: Vest fronts appear IN

stylish, and lady even of moderate
means can easily afford one of the rich
est description, as being very short and
sleeveless, they require but little materi,
al and but few yards Of trimming.
In low shoes for summer wear the OK
ford ties have the preference. These
ties will be worn in bronze and black
kid, and those with the low English or
the high heel may be chosen, according
to fancy. Low shoes with patent leath-
er vamps are also in vogue. Nearly all
the low shoes are lined with dark colors
this season, pleasing Improvement that
will be appreciated BY those who have
been annoyed at seeing the white kid lin
ing, hitherto in such general use, so
soon soiled with the dye of the stock
ing.
