SASH WAISTS


are among the prettiest of summer
ideas A broad sash ribbon, sometimes
in gay Roman colors, or again, in dark
stripes, is made into waist and worn
with skirt of some other, but, of
course. harmonizing material. Lace
skirts, either black or white. are pecu-
liarly adapted to these coquettish
bodices. because lace sleeves frequently
replace those Of silk, and thus there is
pretty uniformity with the advantage
OF showing rounded arm. A youthful
member of Cyrus Field family recent
~ appeared in a charming outfit COM
posed of Roman sash ribbon waist
with blaze. lace sleeves and skirt, Ro-
man sash to match. Her cousin wore
a blue striped sash waist with white
lace skirt and sleeves. Heart shaped
necks are often seen this season, and
both waists were made in this style.

lily MOURNING OUTFIT.
The typical tennis costume is of fine,
lightweight wool, cream white or pale
colored, with tennis scarf three yards
long of soft India satin, embroidered in
some characteristic design; tie to
match, and rough straw hat trimmed
with a handkerchief or scarf in keep
ing; while next in esteem come fine
striped or dotted hsnnel<suits. Styles
OF making are simple: kilt plaits are
In high favor, and design showing
plaits with short overskrt in front and
longer at the back is not inappropriate.
Blouse Waist. A prettily touched-up
canvas dress is picturesque enough on
a summer lawn, but does not guard
against chill so well as flannel But
any skirt will answer with addition of a
blouse flannel waist, and in view of the
demand, they are shown ready made
both ior iauleS ana gentlemen.
THE REFLECTING SOUL
on hotel piazzi of morning, when
tired of specializing on the horizontal
extent of bustles, can seliloquize re-
gsrding wrappers. Mother Hubbards
flourish, yet for the piazza it is better
to belt at the back by sash ribbon
with ends flowing at the side. In no
case, however. so indisputably proper
as the wrapper of princesse shape with
Vatican plat extending all the way at
the back, and loose in front or partly
fitted all around. As to material, we
see pretty nearly everything, according
as the thermometer goes down or up.
Flannels, light wool, silk, muslin, null,

style made princesse shape, having been
worn lately by member of JAY Gould

Want an Extra Session.

The trades organizations throughout
the United States have issued petition
requesting President Cleveland TO call
an extra session of congress to be de-
voted exclusively to the consideration
OF measures for the relief of the indus
trial classes throughout the country and
the revival of business. The petition,
after calling the presidents attention 10
the general stagnation in business, says:
"The consequences of this depression
are especially severe upon the laboring
people and small manufacturers and
farmers, who are without any reserve
means upon which to live or pay their
debts and save homes and small proper
lies from forced sales. The employers
and employed are involved in the COM
mon disaster. and it is believed that il
is in the power of congress and the exc
cutye to greatly relieve this depression
by wise legislation 1t asks that an
extra session be convened on or before
the last Monday in September, 1885.
