be renovated with little trouble and at mod
crate expense. For this purpose there are
embroidered panels, beaded aprons or quIlles
OF lace, with ribbon bows Any one OF these
trimmings will change the whole effect OF a
dress. Beaded plastrons and lace guimpes
serve Tor the waists. As lace dresses are to
be as much in vogue as last season a very
slight modification in the arrangement of
their trimming will enable many ladies' to
dispense with the purchase of a new toilet.

GIRLS HATS.
Hatsar more popular for young girls than
bOnDeis. If the latter are worn, the small
close shape, or that standing up with high
point II front, are the most popular. Fancy
straws of every description are worn. These
are as varied in color as they are in the
many patterns in which the straw is woven

| irg shades are stylish. Plain straws. both
Coerse and fine, are shown in every known
tiBt, so that there is ne difficulty in getting
desired shade, no matter what that shade
may be.

| Spanish hats, with close deep brims and three
narrow or graduated bands of velvet and high
loops and wings in front. Another style Of

there in one large bow.
