pretty over either white or black.
Pale yellow, the tint of primrose,
is shade that is seen in almost every
article of wearing apparel. 1t is becom-
ing to the fairest blonde and the darkest
brunette. Any one with a clear COM
pleXion can wear it to advantage, hence
its popularity. In the new batistes and
lawns intended for midsummer wear it
is especially lovely.
An artistic gown in fine yellow null
is made up over slip of pale-green silk
and Topped with prOfusion Of pale
green ribbons.
Green is an equal favorite with the
yellow and comes in every Imaginable
shade, but one should be careful to Sc
lect becoming tint. Some of the more
delicate shades combine most artistically
with brown and ecru, but the majority
ere better with cream-white OF pale-yel-
low.
THE BUsTLE GOING OUT OF FASHION.
The hustle and large tourhure are
going out of flashing. There can be no
doubt about the truth of this assertion,
but it may be two years before both will
entirely disappear. Partisan dresses,
especially those for street wear, are not
so bOuffant as those worn last winter.
In bustles there is decided change.
Instead of the pronounced hump just
below the waist, the hustle is arranged
to curve gradually from the waist-line
and with the dress reeds must form a
foundation over which the drapery will
fall in an unbrOken Sianting line to the
edge of the dress.
Many of the ball dresses are made to
be worn without buStleS and have three
reeds in the back of the skirt. After
noon gowns of thin white goods are
made in the same way, and there is no
gainsaying their comfort is not beyond
that Of the dress to be worn with wire
hustle.
Princesse dresses with trains are
being revived by few modisteS, but
fashionable taste is as yet not quite
ready for them.
A SENSIBLE SUBSTITUTE FOR CORSETS.
There are comparatively few New
York girls in the ultra-faShionable set
who wear the regulation corset. Most OF
them are so slender that stays are not
needed except to keep the waist trim
and shapely. and this want is supplied
by tiny little pointed corSeletS that are
laced on each morning. These corSeletS
do not cover the bust and thus leave the
lungs with plenty of breathing room
and the chest an opportunity to expand.
The active exercise of tennis and
Badminton, bowling and swimming,
just now most popular. has forced the
stiff corsets out Of favor, and it is prob
able that as long as it is the fashion to
be healthy they will not be worn.
SPRING AND SUMMER WRAPS.
Beaded wraps are very popular this
spring. Much cannot be said in favor
of their warmth, but they are graceful,
and add to the dressy effect of visiting
toilet. Most of them are made like
shoulder capes, with long tabs in front
and profusion of long bead fringes
dangling down the shoulders and all
down the front.
Bronze beads in various shades and
steel beads are as popular as. the black
jets, and the Persian and iridescent
beads of all shades are combined into
most artistic little garments.
For midsummer, an exquisite cape of
point lace, thickly embroidered in seed
pearls and crystals and lined with palest
salmon-pink silk, is shown in an i'm
porting house, and is called wrap.
With il is bewitching little snood of
the same materials, and the pretty girl
fortunate enough to secure both of these
will be doubtless most captivating as
she promenades some moonlit piazza az
rayed in all their soft beauty.
