GRENADNE DREsEss.


Canvas grenadine dresses remain in
favor, Notwithstanding the fancy for
other and lighter dress goods, and the
satin grenadine is especially in favor.
In combination with theplain, the basque
and draperies are made Of satin-figured
grenadine. with vest and front breadth
of beaded grenadine put on smooth and
plain with narrow CABOT Of french-lace
at each side of the vest and front breadth.
The side breadths Of the skirt are covered
BY three pleats of the grenadine these
pleats are very broad, but are not deep
ly Tapped. The drapery at the top OF the
front of the skirt is very short, and may
be three curves, that in the middle being
slighthly. deeper than those at the sides !;
or there may be one deeper curved dra-
perry on the right side, and very short
festooned piece like lambrequin ON the
left. The crossed scarf draperies are
still used for thin dresses. The back
drapery is made of two long breadths
laid in bouffant puffs at the top, and
widened below by fan-pleating set in
under the puff. At the foot on the foun-
dalton skirt, is q narrow pleated frill, on
which the pleats and drapery falls.
SUMNER SILKS.
Those who study economy in dress,
know the value of the striped and check
ed Louisines and are slow to relinquish
them.
They are chosen now in checks or bars
of red with blue, brown with ecru, or
green with red, and are trimmed with Q
vest, collar and cuffs, and bows of velvet.
The India silks are also favorites for
summer wear.
Dark blue, olive, and wine color are
the choice for these dresses.
A panel of velvet is placed down the
left side, and narrow vest in the basque
with satin drops or balls falling on each
side of the velvet. Lace is often used to
edge the velvet, and should be white OF
cream color. according to the tint of fig.
ure in the silk.
Among the inexpensive material are
the mohairs. The white and olive pat
terms are made up with vest and Skin,
panel of olive velvet, and there may be
folds of white mohair arranged in clus
tiers across the velvet.
For other mohairs there are pleated
kilt skirts with crossed scarfs at the top
long pointed back drapery, and a plair
basque without trimming.
Pearl-colored mohair is prettily made
up with pleated vest of white canvas
and canvas facing on the front and
sides Of the lower skirt.
THE ROMAN CoRsAGE.
A very gay corsage made of wide ro
man sashes, is worn by young ladies to
brighten up skirts of black or white, and
to give variety to their toiletts by having
this extra bodice to change with the
basques. Thepale sashes with pink, blue
and white bars, are worn by blondes
while those who are darker, choose the
deeper colors, with bright red, green and
black stripes.
