much favored, and it is very becoming.

in dress decorations as at present
i Big and little buttons are both seen

but we are promised that it shall be.
The sleeves of mems dress coats are
made larger, particularly above the
~elhow.
" Ssull sleeves and short waists go to-
gether, and both are rapidly coming
into vogue.
The popular colors for gloves are tan,
eucalyptus brown, and gray in many
shades.
Mems cravats are growing more
fluffy and swear-at-you in effect But
the colors are quiet.
Short-waisted gowns are worn in the
street by ladies in Paris and Berlin, but
not yet in New York.
Pretty hats for young girls and chill
dren have low crowns and brims raised
sharply at the back.
The new Marseilles blue is to take
the place of navy blue for summer
gowns of linen, serge and flannel
There is a new blue, and it takes tho
name of Marseilles, as it is the shade of
blue seen in the Marseilles soap.

dressy and obtrusive this season. The

more of the shirt front,
Tea gowns are so costly, elegant and
shapely now that many ladies wear
them for dinners at home and everyday
or informal receptions.
From Paris comes the information
that both short and long waists are
worn, but more short than long ones
are seen on fashionable women.
French and English children do not
wear the Greenaway dresses. These
pretty quaint styles are the exclusive
property of the American little girl.

bronze handle, unequal divisions on
cores, lace trimmed and ribbon deco
rated, is the fancy of the passing hour.

girls have anticipated Dame Fashion

queer, quaint and curious as they walk

linen with colored and gold thread in
light darning stitches will be the
favorite piazza occupation of ladies at
summer resorts this season.
1t is the fancy of the season to put
loose dresses with short waists and
half long sleeves on big girls. The
Greenaway styles remain in highest
favor for little girls.
The latest fancy in parasols is to
have the sections of the cover unequally
divided; that is to say, one narrow and
one wide gore, and then the handle
must be natural wood stick.
The best Paris dressmakeS send out
dresses with plain skirts and no steels.
fashioned to wear over neither bustles
nor cushions; so that ladies who rebel
against these styles are compelled to
wear them or make their own gowns.
The long, full skirt peasant cape set
on to close yoke, sleeveless and with
no armholes, made of light weight
mohair serge or surah, pongee or ben
galine, is the correct wear for a dust
cloak. 1t may be black, gray, brown,
ecru, barred or pladed, as the wearer
prefers, but the hat must match it.

some heavy bronze braid designs for
cuffs, collar, V plastrons on the waist

I gown, travelling or excursion costume
or coaching dress. The hat or bonnet
can be changed ad libitum with such q
gown.

cendant and the jersey of the present
season is most elaborate and artistic
affair, with gigot, Bishop, and Henri
II. sleeves, shocked in at the armhole,
and gagged to fancy braided long
cuff at the elbow, enriched with V plas-
irons in metal or fancy braid patterns,
given a chemisette or guimpe in con-
trasting color and made gay with fancy
buttons.
