day. Commencing with the simple jaco
mot negligee skirt and Jacket for ones
own room, the serge or cream-tinted |,
tailor SUIT for morning, promenade, driy-
ing or lunch, TO the elaborate, costume OF |
surah, canvas, etamine or albatross, |
fashioned for dinner, the piazza and |
open-air concert, nothing can be prettler /
and more generally becoming. There |
seems TO be with everyone this penchant
for white during the hot months. A
handsome dress OF white tricot cloth, in. |
tended TO be worn at Long Branch, was
finished with white silk braid and en-
broidered crows feet in tailor fashion.
The braid used was but half an inch In
width. Rows of 1t were strapped across
the front Of the basque, narrowing from
the shoulder to the waist in military style,
each row finished by crows foot
done In white silk. The skirt
front and sides were covered hy
succession of wide tucks or folds run
ming horizontally, each bound with a
stitched row OF white silk braid, over
which fell three fat panels of cloth
trimmed with braid and crows feet to
match those on the bodice. One panel
was placed directly in front and one at
each side. The plated, fat-pressed back
OF the basque was braid trimmed, as were
the high military collar and cuffs, and
over the back of the skirt hung u drapery
OF tricot disposed In many full plaits.
A costume of cream albatross was made
dressy byan elaborate trimming of cream
white oriental lace, a drapery OF which
covered the entire front of the skirt, and
with iabots of lace and bows aud ends OF
satin ribbon trimmed the basque. A
white India silk was daintily trimmed
with lace and ribbons, while white
surah that had handsome drapefies OF
wide ilounce lace had both high-necked
and low-necked waist, the low one
trimmed with u charming bertha Of small
white, bell-like flowers.
For morning wear at home during the
warm months the white wrapper takes
precedence of all others for daintlness
and beauty. They may be either the
comfortable Mother Hubbard or half
loose shape of striped or plaided muslin,
or the elaborate affair of fine French
muslin or nainsook, with Vatican back
and fronts formed Of stripes of lace and
insertion. A very handsome white morn
ing wrapper had back that trained
slightly, and with a Vatican plait laid in
rows Of shirring at the top aud flowing
from thence into the skirt plaIts. A deep
ilounce, with row Of inserting and an
edging of Medicl lace, was round the
bottom, and the entire front, from neck
to hem, was formed Of diagonal rows OF
lace inserting, alternating with bands of
line embroidery. Another, equally elab,
crate, had the entire front and the mid,
die of the back cut from all-over en-
broidery. Pale pink satin ribbons
trimmed the sleeves, neck and back,
For servlceable hot-weather house
wrappers nothing is more comfortable tC
wear than the Mother Hubbard or Ga
brielle of printed linen lawn or bastlste
with small flowers or figures on whit,
ecru ground They are plainly made, 81
as to laundry easily. A variety Offered
by the furnlshing-houses consists o
Mother Hubbard Of light blue or pinl
lawn, made with tucked yoke and tn,
skirt part shirred on. They are yer,
pretty, but their washing qualities may b'
doubted.
White dresses for morning and after,
noon wear are made Of the finest null
J French muslin, or nainsook, almost GOV
cred with embroidery. The all-over and
; 1ounce embroideries that can be bought
so reasonably and Of such great beauty
are used for panels, fronts and waist por
tions. An attractive white dress mad q
front drapery OF embroidered fiOuncinl
and side panel Of plaits, over which was
J arranged bride of cream satin ribbof

India silk and foulard dresses are yerl
popular for wear during the summer
owing to their GOODNESS and lightnes
r and their general summer-like appearance

ming for them, though they are frequent

trimming other than perhaps a collar anC
