DAINTY cambria plastrons, with col
lar and cuffs to correspond, are much
worn, the fashion for beads and tinsel
having happily been suspended for the
more becoming lingerie.

toilet for summer. The collar, cuffs,
and one fold of the cutaway Jacket

veteen, as we'll as the Waistcoat.
UNDER of soft crope,
corded zephyr and silk are trimmed
with Edelweiss and machine-made
Valenciennes lace: They are exceed
ingly light in weight. Scarlet silk pet
ticoats, with kilt-plaited founce, are
trimmed with black lace. -
A BLOUSE waist. made of all-over
embroidery, having long sleeves, with
turned back cuffs, a turned down col
lar and g. draw string at the waist, is
one of the fancies of the moment. 1t
is especially designed for rather stylish
negligee morning wear by slender
young ladies.
BLACK wraps in open-work arrasene
in the Drectoire shape will be much
worn this season. They form a rich
and elegant addition to carriage and
promenade costumes of foulard, black
satin, etannine, grenadine and fallle
Francois, and have all the becoming
effect of g. black velvet brocaded man.

SILVER grenades, with q golden
flame, are the latest fashionable cigar
lighters. The light appears in the
center of the silver ornament, and
gives the effect of bona fde grenade.
The crest of the motto, or initials, are
engraved on the center OF the ball.
/ These peaceful emblems of war make
capital birthday presents, and form
useful and original objects on the
smoking table.
STRAW is becoming widely popular
for all sorts of ornamention. After
hats, bonnets, trimmings for dresses
and parasols, fans are being made OF
it, They are formed of embroidered
straw in leaves, the shape OF a wind
mill. These. are strung on a watered
ribbon, and, with a bow of broader
MORE, complete a toilet of light color.
They are perfectly charming, very
light in weight, and above all they
give a great deal Of air.
THE pre&tiest among thenovelties of
the present season are the numerous
elegant summer. mantles. Most of
them are black, sparkling with beads
or covered with lace, but fancy allows
the introduction Of colored velvet or
beads. The style Of trimming fire.
quently reminds one of Oriental mod
els; they comprise heavy twists Of
beads falling over the fronts and
sleeves; these beads are of all kinds,
large, small, black or colored.
THE Vatican style of dress con-
tinues much in fashion for dressy
toilets. A pretty model is composed
OF corsage and shepherdess tunic of
delicate peachblow foulard, brocaded
with apple blossoms and foliage, and
worn over an underskirt of pale pink
foulard in monochrome, laid in wide
box-pleats, with panels of the brocaded
foulard at each side. Below is O. tiny
foot pleating of the plain goods. The
corsage is slightly open at the throat
and is bordered with trimming of
ecru lace and ruby velvet ribbon.
ONE of the very latest ideas for
ladies whose time hangs heavy on
their hands is to make patchwork
bedcover of the backs Of discarded
kid gloves. To match and combine
the colors, both OF the kid and the or
namental stitching, and to fit in the
shapes, affords an occupation far
more fascinating and prolonged than
'crazy patchwork" When finished,
the quilt must be lined with q delicate
soft silk Or satin. 1t will really then
look little nearer to being worth the
trouble of making it than may be
imagined.
The newest cream white dresses are
made Of canvas or etamine, enriched
by South Kensington embroidery
wrought IN mOyenage colors on the
Killed skirt and vest. Three distinct
colors Of ribbons are tied together in
bows for the trimming. There are
also cream-white India silk dresses,
partly plain and partly embroidered,
while others have this supple silk for
the fedora bodice and drapery on the
lace skirt, which is merely one deep
gathered founce. Still others have a.
skirt of white embroidered muslin,
wrought all over in open designs and
made full and round, in Gretchen fash
ion.
