THE latest style in a morning gown
is that with long angel sleeves. This is
a very attractive style for those with
pretty arms. The back as well as the
front of this gown has long flowing
lines, the fulness coming from the fine
tucks or plaits which form the yoke
and then flow free from the rest.
JERSEYS decorated by fine braid in
coral designs covering the whole gar
ment, are very stylish. Sometimes
gilt or silver braid is used, and the ef-
feet is very rich if a trife bizarre.
Black silk jerseys are covered with
braiding dotted with jets, with a heav-
lily Jetted fringe around the edge.
SATIN shoes and slippers are very
much worn, and it is a pretty fabric
for the manufacture of foot covering,
for it's brilliant luster has not only the
effect of showing the pretty shape of
the foot, but of making it look small
er. Satin the color ofthe dress is most
used, although black is much in favor,
and what can be prettier than a pref
ty foot daintily shod in black satin?
IT seems to be the ambition of all
young wives to look well when any
one calls. A young bride heard ring
at the front door. The maid was out.

There was a moment of lightning work
before the dressing-table. Quicker
than it takes to tell it, a ribbon was
fastened to her throat, afower stabbed
into her hair, a flash of powder on her
face, and she was at the door-all
smiles and bushes. The gentleman"
said he had the cheapest clothes-props
that could be bought for money.
WITH all the abundance Of new color
ings, white and black remain the
standard choice for general wear.
Black silk is the dress of all others for
general utility, while white suits in all
their myriad form, are again to pre-
dominate on hotel piazzas and in ball
rooms at all the watering places this
summer. The number and variety in
such dresses are greater than ever be-
fore. The large stores show many

silks which fill the counters and shelves,
and the many trimmings which may
be used to form fresh combinations

NOVELTIES are constantly appear
ing, indeed invention is always on the
strain to provide something new. A
recent French fancy is the chatelaine
dress, which has a plain round skirt,
with no trimming beyond a broad
band Of velvet, put on plain, above
narrow pleating at the foot. The
overdress is nearly or quite as long
as the skirt, and is loopeo on oneside.

or it may be left open, and one OF the
corners faced with velvet and turned
in revers. The bodice is a full round
waist with Swiss girdle of velvet, and
a knot of velvet ribbon is set where
the skirt is looped. Soft wool is the
appropriate material for this costume,
or it may be made in surah or satin
merveilleuX. The material must be
soft enough to drape easily and grace
fully
A STYLISH dress of cream white serge,
made as follows, is a pretty model for
costumes of other fabrics. The round
skirt is trimmed with several rows of
dark blue velvet about an inch and a
half wide. Above this is a tunic full
and deep, likewise trimmed, and draped
very high on the left side. On the
right, both skirt and tunic open over
what appears to be an entire skirt of
dark blue velvet, which is in reality
but wide kilt-pleated panel sewed to
the foundation skirt of the dress. The
bodice of the dress is cut in jersey style,
and a scarf of the goods, bordered all
around with velvet, is laid in fiat close
folds from the shoulders to the belt,
where they are held by large buckle
of old paste. The folds separate over
the chest as they descend, revealing a
dainty vest of cream lace and blue
velvet. The fashion of the dress
would be a pretty one for the making
of shot surah or a summer silk, COM
bined with velvet.
THE other day husband and wife
were walking along Kearney Street,
when the husband exclaimed: 'EThereis
Mrs. Jones getting into her carriage"
Just as the wife looked an accident
occurred which sometimes does hap
pen to the most cautious women when
getting into a carriage. Her foot
slipped on the carriage step and her
skirts were caught up. CHATS not

the incident and it's revelation. ct
