inch wide, alternating with white
stripes OF the same width, are liked in
these pretty dresses, which require no
trimming. For instance, the lower
skirt may be plain or kilt plated, as the
Wearer preferred, land above this is a short
drapery made of the flannel taken
sewage wise, thus dispensing with even
the weight of hem, arranged in short
apron of cross stripes, then falling
down the back in two points about two
thirds of the length of the skirt below
1T. The bodice is gathered belted
English blouse, made full or plain in
the shoulders, according as the wearer
is plump or slender, gathered to mar
row space at the waist line in front and
back, and falling few inches below on
the hips. The neck has a turned-over
large and low at the throat if that is be-
coming, or it may be narrower
and sewed to the top of standing
collar II the neck requires it. The
sleeves are very slightly full at the top
and bottom, with wristband of the
stripes going round the arm. A row of
blue feather stitching may be added on
the collar and straight cuffs, and down
a box plat in the middle of the front.
The blouSes are
A SAD INCITER
of tight lacing. Although they are
loose, they are girt at the waist by
belt, and to reduce the size of this en-
cIrclement corset of the least possible
dimensions is apt to be worn. This is
only temporary relapse into idiocy, L
hope, from the recent sensible usage of
comfortable corSetS. In connection with
this subject let me say that it is not
fashionable this year to flatten the
bosom and to thereby conceal as much
oil id
WOmanhood. On the contrary, our girls
nave taken sudden pride in that pOr-
tlon OF themselves, and conveXity has
taken the place OF cOncavity. OF course,
the commences of it can not be war
ranted, and it is to be feared that falsity
would be developed by general exam
nation; but, happily, nobody has the
authority to make an official eXamina-
ton, and so the insincerity will remain
uneXp0sed. Let me premise that linen
collars ana cuffs are once more the fash
ion. The newest are attached to tiny
fronts OF the same linen as the collar,
ana these, as often as not. are cOlOred
and faSten at the back. The cuffs to
match are quite straight. Dainty aprons
for wearing at fancy bazaars are made
ofecru embroidered muslin, with large
ruche of muslin and lace on one side of
the bib. Small and pretty fichus and

and girls at the watering places ply
their needles on such fanciful work.
Sly and demure Annette was thus en-
ployed. Gallant Charles sat watching
her pretty, nimble hands.
II wish you'd embroider initials on
one of my collars" he said.
"lll do it, she replied.
"Will You make it monogram of A
for you and G for me?"
Son shirt. 1t is the swell thing now
to have your collars made fast to your
shirt. Does that matter?''
Il guess motif you'll bring me the
-garment-you know-all neatly
| folded, with just the collar sticking
out"
He did as she directed, or meant to.
He rolled up a freshly-laundred shirt,
tied it fast, and left what he thought
was the end of the collar obtruding, but
it was the margin of the flap instead.
and Annette never knew of the awful
blunder until told of it next day by
Charley'S sister. She will now paw
reward of SO for a clipping from that
shirt containing the beautifully EN-
broidered but shockingly displaced
monogram.
A DAY AND AN EVENING
in a Manhattan beach hotel yield some
good views of summer styles. A beau
tiful gown worn at pretentiOus recep-
ton is made with bodice and train of
white brocade, the train being lined with
satin merveilleuX in the new shade of
absinthe green. The petticoat is of abb
sinthe merveilleuX, draped with fine
white net, closely embroidered with
pendants of crystal and pearl. The bod
ice and train are also ornamented with
clusters of white ostrich feathers, tied
with mixed bows of absinthe and white
satin ribbons. A very handsome din
ner gown looks exceedingly well
made in MORE silk in lovely
shade of reseda. shot family with
cardinal, the train being faced with car
dinal silk to correspond. The mOire
bodice is draped with scarf of cardinal
silk gauZe, shot with reSeda, and reach
ing to the hem of the gown, where it is
finished with ornaments of silver pas
sementerie. The side draperies are
also trimmed with long lines of a simi-
lar paSSementerie, in an exquisite COM
binatiOn of reseda copper and silver,
with just hint of cardinal here and
there. A charming gown of pale gray
cloth, suitable for brides gOing-away
gown, is made with bodice, complete
in itself, but also arranged to wear with
two full vests of silk, one in navy blue
and one in gray, shot with pale pink.
THE IMPENDING ABOLITION
of the hustle knocks me clear out I
have perfected an invention that will be
worthless without bustleS, but would
yield me fortune with them, The de-
vice is flutter-wheel inclosed in bus
tie and attached to the feet in such a
manner that every step causes dozen
rapid revolutions. Thus hidden fan
is kept going, and the faster you walk
the cooler you become. A brisk prom
enader on hotel veranda could be as
cool as cucumber. But the absence
of the hustle Spoils the whole con-
trivance. CLARA BELLE.
