Undoubtedly the coolest fabric for travel
ing dresses is what is known as the Eng
lish mOhair 1t is inexpensive and sheds
the dust easily from its surface. 1t can be
purchased in plain colOrs or in m0ttled
shades of gray and brown. A light weight
in such dresses is obtained by doing away
with a foundation skirt and simply pleating
the lower part Of the skirt on the gored up
per to which is tackled the OverSkirt. For
waists Norfolk blouse is preferred or a
round waist with mOhair sash hemmed in a
narrow finish all round. For girls of 10
years old and upward these notified brown
mOhairs make UP with most desirable effect.
A pretty style for child of 10 years is to
have kilt or box-pleated single skirt with
round waist and sash. The wal st has fine
pleats back and front. In place of sash a
girdle can be substituted with row Of tiny
brown buttons extending from point to
point.
CORDUROY COSTUMES.
Corduroy is used for travelling purposes,
but if used must be made up plainly or its
weight may prove undesirable. Its chief
advantage is that it is cotton and so sheds
the dust readily. A good style for this
pieces, the waist and skirt; the latter to
have a good front and back breadths suf-
flciently full to hang easily; the waist to be
jacket with small rever collar of the
same. This coat will take the place of a
Slight woollen jacket as it can be worn with
any summer goods. Outside jackets are all
cut very short, and by means of the cushion.
worn underneath all skirts, are made to
project out from the waist line almost hori-
ZOntally.
Double-b reasted basque. with belts sewed
in at the seams under the arms, are shown
in most goods and is a pretty style for ging-
hams and chamberys. English modiSteS
show variety of ways of treating white
cloth and heavy flannels, which will be
found appropriate only for very cool days.
One dress has for it's lower skirt rough
white goods made up with broad hem, for
its finish. Over this, reaching to the hem, is
light blue Oyerskirt of the rough flannel
goods caught up slightly on one side. The
corsage. is blue, with pointed basque.
White mohair braid forms solid V, begin
ming at each side of the collar on either Shout
der and graduating to point below the
waist. The buttOnhOleS are invisible. The
sleeves are finished with rows of the braid
forming the cuffs.
A novel suit of white serge has a killed
lower skirt. with three broad rows Of Her.
cules braid placed above the hem. The
cOrsage is composed entirely of cream yak
lace inserting, to be worn over any color
preferred by the wearer. The edge of this
basque waist is finished by full ruffie Of
yak lace. The overSkirt is formed of the
silk of which the lining is made, passing
across the front in soft folds and drawn into
loops and ends in the back. The parasOl is
covered to match the suit.
VARIOUS STYLES OF TRIMMINGS.
For enlivening black dresses of silk grena-
dine or surah trimmings of bright cloths,
gilt cord OF braid can be bought, or made
into sets composed of a narrow pointed
vest, high collar, and pointed cuffs. Orien-
tai embroideries can be used for this p1lr-
pose, and are highly effective on white fan
mel goods, or plain surface in dead colOrS.
Little vests of eolored silks laid in fine
pleats, cuffs and collars to match, are made
to trim waists.
Bows are made of everything and worn
everywhere from the slipper to the top of
the parasol. If narrow ribbon is used it is
put on in abundance.
NOVEL EXPERIMENTATION.
A stylish trimming lately used on very
expensive dress seen at late opening, had
wide buttonholeS or apertureS, fingers
length in width, cut into the overskirt on
one side of the dress, through which was
pulled velvet ribbon, which fell in long
loops and ends. The dress was foulard,
white ground with small geometrical
figures in drab and brown over it. The
front tablier was composed of yellow,
raised embroidery whose edges ran up and
down on brown velvet lining. The apron
drapery on one side was treated with velvet
ribbon loops, as described above, the other
being drawn back to fall into full breadthS
in the rear. The corsage had brown vel
vet vest covered with narrow embroidery,
with an extra jacket of the foulard.
COLLARS, HANDKERCHIEFs, GLOVES, ETC.
s. Spotted linen collars and cuffs are worn
with travelling dresses
Corsage handkerchiefS, which look as if
made fer dolls are tucked between. the but
tons, forming dainty contrast of color
with the dress.
Red and white embroideres are made into
standing collars and cuffs.
Silk gloves come in imitation of suede
kid, with stitching, and run from ten to
twelve buttons in length.
Low shoes with ribbon laces, beginning
with small bow at the lower eyelets and
tying in another on the instep, are the last
delight in this line.
For evening wear varying shades of tan
colored gloves are Ell regle. The mosque
taire is still the favorite.
