win be glad to hear that the broad
white India muslin ties, lace-edged,
carried around the neck and disposed
in wide butterfly bow, ala Bernhardt,
are once more correctly worn, though
tied in less voluminous fashion than
the scarf arrangement worn about the
throat of that celebrated actress when
here. These ties make dainty and
dressy finish to q summer toilet, and
silky India muslin is the most used fol
the purpose. The lace WHICH edges
the ends should be wide and very fine,
Valenciennes being first choice. Deep
coffee-colored lace is fashionably worn
as garniture to these white ties, and,
though often becoming, the combina-
ton is not good.
Among the specialties in low shoes,
are those of pale yellow undressed kid.
matching the long Swedish gloves now
worn. These are lined with white
satin, and the most expensive have a
tiny white silk embroidery over the
top of the vamps. Another novelty is
black satin sandal with the toes Gov
cred with an embroidery of dark re6
currants, these to be worn with cardi-
nal silk hose with black silk clocks, or
vice versa.
Pretty summer bonnets or round
hats, with parasols en- suite, made of
lace, plain or figured silk, muslin,
etamine, silk canvas, point d'esprit,
and Breton nets, with silk tulle,
grenadine, and the like, are in univer-
sal favor both for town and country
wear. White, or cream, or ivory is the
most generally used; but for very dressy
occasions are bonnets of princesse,
poke, gypsy, and shapes, made bebe, OF

trimmed with Grape flowers, an opal.

of Spanish cardinal tulle of vivid
shade, covered with beaded network
of finest cut jet, and trimmed with a
diadem formed of small aigrettes OF

close together in q glittering mass.
Round hats of flower-brocaded silk
muslin, trimmed with lace and roses,
are in high vogue for bridesmaids.
Some of the Russian and Zouave
jackets made of chenille-dotted satin or
velvet brocaded faille, are finished with

fourth button below the chin, and ex.

short jacket. Beneath are full Fedora OF
blouse gilets or plain satin, laid in flat
pleats, let to fall very loosely-a style
becoming only to very slender forms.
A sash is arranged in the back under
the full, short position of the Jacket,
which matches the vest in fabric.
Four different materials were noted

four fabrics of foulard, velvet, satin

Gold or silver satin straw bonnets
are very popular for dressy use, these
