who only wanted 10 afford him
self an opportunity for back ground
and dash or two OF color, bnt who has
been responsible for much. The wrap is
of pale chocolate colored drap-d'ete, with
trimmings of chocolate brown, and the
skirt has the same idea of two shades Of
brown. The hat is of brown and brilliant
scarlet.
Some dressy nantes for evenings and
early fall, which are now being made,
combine colored cashmeres and camels
hair and black lace: and very many in
light colors are trimmed in the most bril-
liant manner An apple green camel's
hair wrap had an outside covering of
beaded black lace, and tho sides which
form the sleeves are made of the dotted
net alone, which has a fringe Of the same.
Others have nothing more than Y shaped
piece front and back, edged with n frill
ruflle of lace, and with the shoulder pieces
made of net, over which are gathered
many falls Of fine lace A bow and loops
of ribbon finish them at the waist in front.
There are others made Of narrow ribbon
sewn longitudinally on the net founda-
ton, with beads studded along between
the ribbons, and the whole finished with
a full rutiie of lace and loops and ends Of
ribbon. These are more for show and
dressy effect over light summer dresses
than for warmth.
There is a very handsome wrap Of drab
ladies' cloth, braided SO closely as 20 al
most hide the cloth with narrow braid OF
the same shade, and on the inner edge of
this braid there is a narrow chainstitch of
gold thread. The sleeves are half loose,
and the cuffs and collar are Of velvet Of
the same shade. It is lined with cardinal
satin, and has fringe of silk crocheted
bells. The buttons are Of fat metal, bur
nished so that they have the same shade
as the wrap.
Walking jackets are shown in heavy
cloth of all colors, and all of them have
great flap pockets and all the other char
acteristics Of the walking 'waistcoat" of
Directoire days. Some have wide lapels
that stand out like gigantic ears. and
some have high, rolling collars and wide
revers, which are as stiff as quilting and
bucBram can make them.
Another outcome of wild insanity is
seen in the hyaway waist and sleeve
drapery of the illustration. This is called
one of the most graceful and elegant Of
the new styles, and | give it for all it Is
worth, its novelty and incoherency.
defy any one to be able 20 reproduce IL,
though IL would not be hall a bad idea
for young ladies whose figures are very
slight. Thus everything has its uses.
Do you want to see the loveliest hats
of the season? Well, here they are. The
larger one is about two feet and half in
diameter, and about six times as>much In
circumference. Some persons may say
they can't see how that can be so, and ]
don't either; ! only know it Is so. On the
bop Of the crown are seventeen yards OF
crepe lisse, plated, and around the crown
several more Of handsome escurial lace, an
nrmful Of weeds and red sumach, and one
sunfower. How much moro crepe hsse is
gathered inside the brim and in the
strings | dare not attempt to compute
This is altogether one of those creations
that men look at bewildered, and wonder
how it is that girl can make herself SC
bewitching. Given a fairly pretty girl, o
thin white dress, well shod feet and hat
like this, and a vision Of dainty grace is
somehow evolved, that will always look
lovely and cool. and, as the French say
appetizing How much is due 20 the dress
and hat would be afraid TO say, but il
