are made entirely OF all-Cver embroidery,

In dressing young girls French taste is
far before our own in simplicity French
mothers never commit the mistake of
over-trimmipg their daughters dresses I;
their pure white toilets in gsuzs, tulle,
net muslin and sof. silk are always
charmipgly designed. One model is
composed entirely of gsuzs anu watered
ribbon; the skirt is arranged in full plai.s
sill 6rouud; over this is q second skirt,
also set in full to the waist; this is raised
high on the left side at the back; the
bodice is full, drawn in at the waist by 8
watered silk sash with bows on the left
side, the rounded neck having rosettes of
the gauZe placed close together around
it; loops of watered ribbon are set on the
left shou der, with long ends falling over
the arm; the sleeves are short and very
full, and the gloves long enough to meet
them.
The richness of material and elaborate
gsrniture of tea gowns and neglige ro0es
furnishes ample lids for display OF taste,
and expenditure of money. Handsome
models are shown in silks and casnmeres
that may be successfully initiated Ia the
lowered stufs Of light weight snd in sst-
teens plain and figured. Where the gown
is,of self color the full front is usually some
brocsde design on white or very light
ground; also plat. ed effects are used in
the sleeves and front.
Lace toilets, although worn for the last
ten years, sre as much in vogue as ever,
and are worn for evening and dinner
dress. The changes in the shape Of The
bodice or basque, in the style OF the
draperies, and in the arrangement OF rib
bons or passementerie ornaments, to say
nothing of the new designs wrought in the
laces, give to the gown Of this season so
novel an appearance that one forgets how
long they have been fashionable.
For young girls there is q very pretty
fashion for making lace costumes of the
wide fiOuncinss which may be had liz
many of the woven lsces. The doubled
skirt is formed OF two flounces, one
above the other, snd msde "a j like bal
let skirt. The bodice is friiled TO form s
very sample gumpe and Is short bodice of
ve.vet IS worn over this. The sleeves are
full Swiss, gathered high and full on the
shoulder, and brought into a wrist-bsnd
Of velvet. This Is pretty model in
either black or white lace.
As the summer comes on merchants
are showing exquisite India linens and
satin barred nsinsoeks for house wear,
and nothing is better sdspted to the
exigeucies OF q warm climate than
are these delicate fabrics, and By the use
of the beautiful emoroideries and lace Of
artistic design gowns can be so made IS
to please the most fastidious; for street
wear during the heated term sateens will
be in full favor. This being emphatic silly
ribbon year, and there being no limit in
their use or style, change Of color In
the bows makes variety from 3 few white
dresses.
There is . threatened Innovation of
short waists, and should they come In
vogue, the tournure and drspery will re-
