to both young and old.
a dainty model for young girl has
creamy white ground. over which are
scattered sprays of blue forget-me-nots
and yellow buttercups. The skirt falls
III wide bOX-plaits, and above the hem
are three bands of two-lnch satin rib
bon, pale yellow, blue and deep GRIM
son. The drapery is full and caught up
both back and front with clusters of the
three ribbons mingled, and the little
pointed basque has a vest of crimson
surah, with full sleeve putfS and bows
of yellow and blue ribbon. The three
shades of yellow, blue and crimson are
arranged to look artistic and give a
bright and pretty effect.
A more sedate gown for an older
person is all in cool tints of gray and
green, and a glimpse of it suggests
shady lawns and country lanes. 1t is
intended for an afternoon gown and is
made III one of the dreSSy models of
putfed sleeves, sash drapery and vest
basque now so prevalent.
The foundation material is a dove
gray, with small sprays of mignOnette
and pearl-gray surah, with mignonette
green and pearl-gray ribbons, is intro
duced in the trimmings.
One OF the novel dresses worn this
month was seen on Mrs. W. K. Wander
bilt an afternoon last week. 1t was
brought over from Paris, and is surely
pretty enough to become the fashion.
1t was worn in her open carriage, and
seemed suitable for visiting or after
noon reception gown.
The skirt Of paleSt heliOtrOpe faiIle
silk, was edged with narrow frill of
white lace set under pointed vandykeS,
each one of the latter being lined with
inl OF 4
pOlOnaiSe of the faille was treated in the
same way, lined throughout with the
violet, and parted curtin fashion over
the skirt, which was fiounced i'll deep
rutties of Irish point lace. The palet0t
fitted closely, and the sleeves slOped
over the arm without a puff or plating
to give the high-shouldered effect so
much sought. A small violet bonnet
with panSies and long heliotrope gray
gloves completed the toilet.
The Paris dreSSmakers, Worth. Pin
gat and the lesser lights, are making
most OF their summer gowns without the
raised sleeve. SlOping shoulders are
again to be fashionable. and in Paris
very few high shoulders are to be seen.
1t VIII take another season to introduce
them thoroughly on this side of the At
lantic.
Sashes and white dresses are not con-
fined to children, but are considered APP
propriate for femininity of almost all
ages. White linens and muslins are to
be worn for the morning at 4 summer
resorts, also white fianneiS =. sergeS,
all plainly made.
Cashmeres and lawns are for after
noon and all the dainty mulls, laces,
silks and satins in white are for evening
wear. China silk made up in Grecian
fashion is in great favor and Directoire
gowns are to be Worn more extensively
than formerly. Both have the adVan-
tage OF GOODNESS as well as grace.
Black lace and silk grenadine gowns
are shown in great variety of designs
and commend themselves for many
reasons. They are appropriate for al
most any occasion. are light, durable
and dreSsy in effect without being
snowy. Some of the new grenadines
are woven so close that they are made
up without the usual silk lining.
Black lace of all degrees of fineness is
worn, and for summer is made up over
surah i'll preference to other material.
