THE FASHIONS.
Vanltes Which Metropolitan Women At
feet,

A pretty and ladylike fancy this sea-
son is to have the travelling dress, long
French pelisse. and bonnet or toque to
match in material. This idea is remark
ably pretty carried out in pale gray
pongee, or summer cashmere, or shep-
herds check in serge or summer silk.
White toilets will again be the rags
for dressy afternoon wear this season,
and organdie, null, French nainsoek
and Swiss muslin, embroidered in sprigs
and dots, with fiounces to match, are
all popular fabrics for these.
In inexpensive summer costumes are
shown some dainty dresses made of
plain but soft and delicate naousseIaiae
de lame, the front arranged in series
of fiounces which are first cut into deep
points, edged with narrow lace, and
then plated up; these are called Van
dyke fiounces. Above this is draped a
very long redingote known as the
'.hOuppeLGiade' by the French. This is
made of noaSSeIGiaae de ldi'ae, which is
printed in small gay designs scattered
over its surface. Lace and ribbon gar
,nitures trim this overdress, which does
not join in front, but opens widely from
the neck. disclosing pretty vest, and
also the multitude of pointed fiounces
upon the skirt This redingote model
or riding-coat was very popular last
season in Paris made of tweed over red
Waistcoats.
White repped silk in heavy cords rich
and lustrous, with the court train,
panels and wastcoat trimmed with pure
white passementeriGs in satin cord and
raised chenille, is the ceremonial dress
par excellence for brides past their first
youth.
Arrasene embroidery makes q ricl.
and stylish trimming for pale-tinted
cashmere house robes The work is
quickly done, and small flowers of
brilliant colors, mingled with MOSES
and fine green leaves, produce very
beautiful effect upon pale cream or
beige background.
TUNES and overdreSses of Madras
muslin, Tussore, cream-colored pongee
and Ponpadour veilings are pretty and
appropriate for the summer season,
while the ever-useful and always elegant
black velvet underdress supplies suit
able foundation for each alike. A cluster
of black velvet loops scattered about
here and there upon these overdresses
add to their becomingness and suggest
connecting link between the upper
and lower portions of the costume, and
a broad velvet dog collar worn around
the throat dotted with Roman pearl
beads gives pretty finish to the whole.
Nuns yelling dresses with cascades
of Egyptian lace set between the fan or
box plaitings on the skirt and forming
| the vest on the corsage are being made
graduates. Still more elaborate and
costly dresses are made of white China
Grape, or white surah handsomely en-
broidered.
Many of the Elton, Russian, Bolero
and Zouave jackets open over loose
blouse vests of silk, which are braided
| or embroidered in shaded silks, beads,
or cut jet. The backs of these jackets
| fit the form closely and finish with
or without position plaits. In most
cases the collar is high military one
of velvet, but in exceptional cases there
is made very deep turnover, la
Byron, and in this instance a wide silk
tie is laid beneath the collar and knot
ted in front in regular sailor style, the
tie matching the blouse in texture and
decoration.
A lovely matinee, completed recently
for tall, fair blonde in this city, was
made of the most exquisitely delicate
and beautiful shade of pale blue silk
warp serge. The matinee opened wide
ly from the throat down, revealing a
Greek surplice beneath made of plain
blue silk richly braided. The matinee
itself was trimmed with the same silver
braid, put on in coral and yermicelli de-
sions, matching those upon the surplice,
but much narrower. The long pagoda
sleeves were lined with blue silk and
large Vatican plat reaching from the
neck to the foot of the trailing skirt
finished the back portion.
Some of the new graceful French red
ingotes and pelisses, designed for tray
cling use, are made of demure shade
of tweed, and lined with thin but ex-
ceedingly firm quality of changeable
twilled silk, crimson and gray being II
popular choice in the shot Innings. Very
often where it is not desired to have the
entire wrap lined the waist-portion and
the sleeves only are thus finished. A
garment that is silk-lined is Joy for
ever-by reason of the comfort and ease
with which even the suggest of Jersey
fitting wraps can be put on or off wheb
thus completed.
The increasing demand for lace
garniture has resulted in the production
of some uncommonly rich and beautiful
designs in what are known as fancy
laces. The tuTOre for these trimmings
remains unabated, and the call for laces
of all patterns and colorings is this
season without a precedent in the
history of the lace trade. Among the
countless varieties which now flood the
market the Oriental laces, or the
Egyptian patterns, which they resemble,
are the most popularity used, for the
reason that they are warranted to
launder once and gain, and look like
new after every publication. In nov
elites in this class are now shown
founcings of the most tempting and
exquisite patterns, the widest being
over a yard deep, and showing on the
delicate net foundations an almost solid
embroidery of roses, lilies of the valley,
ferns and fine sprays of tiny flowers
and foliage, the effect surprising any
thing of the kind ever before produced
by machinery.-M. Y. EUeming Post.
