Shot silks are the rags, figured with dainty
bouquets. Also checkered patterns OF
enormous dimensions in many colors. The
bordered materials are also well represent
ed among the silks, bat they cannot De
used in the same way as wooiens snd cot
tons, as they are narrower, but are tnecf-
i've and pretty for short drsperiss, and may
be exauisitely used to form flounees. An
instance of this kind is q beautiful shot oil
lille cigale green one way, crossed win
ANTIQUE pink, producing q q delicate
shimmery green. Up one selvage runs the
border, some six inches wide, consisting
of alternate line stripes OF gold
silver about half an inch wide. A shot
fsills hiss two striped borders, one up each
salvage. so that when the breadths are
sewed together il produces o very broad
stripe nearly the width Of the material,
with groups of stripes between. A very
pretty example has copper red and pale
ersy silk a way crossed, with pale blue
siIk. which givesjs beautiful cleaning gray,
tbat is sprinkled with flowers in the pale
gray shade; the copper red Is separated IN
the border, which consists Of four copper
satin stripes about an inch IN width.
When the brsadths are scanned together,
eight copper satin stripes alternate with
the breach faille. This material Ia beau
tifully used for trains. A soft, iue BEN
gsline is the ~favorite summer silk, striped,
figured or plaid. The plaids have broad,
vertical stripes, being narrow and few IN
number. A pink bengaline has broad
stripes of shaded cigale green, fading INTO
buff. At the edges OF this pekin are eheck-
ering stripes, running horizontally and
vertically, al wide intervals Of dark and
pale pink, black and white satin; all ex-
cept the dark pink, which are a-hslt
inch broad. Among the most beautiful
simmer silks are those Of 3 thin,

quisite tints figured all over IN flowers In
natural eolors. One-a delicate green
blue-has punches of shaded roses, green

antique pink ground has large blue
flowers, shaded autumnnsl leaves, and q
black pattern of white leaves. Tit crepes
de chimes have beautiful punches OF roses
and azslias standing out like real flowers
on soft white grounds. A novelty in silks
has the ground composed Of bright red,
with satin stripes of q deeper red orna-
mented with long stalks Of pale pink or
blue.
OF London materials pekin decidedly
heads the list, whether in silks, woolens or
c~ottons, but huge plsids are seen IN com
bination with plain fabrics. Elegant
walking costumes in London are made
with close fitting r~edingotes, the front
b,iyg open and filled in with waisteoats
and skirts of q different material. The

gauzs are embroidered in tinsel, the backs
are rather short, but the ends OF

soft rich Hu~guenot, silk has been in great
demand for the modified versions OF the
first empire. II is said that the empire
style pure and simple will never take in
| London, but Certain details have been taken
I'D and reigned t~riumphantly. The cross
ed bodice is an excellent way Of making up
black Huguenot silk, the drsped fronts
crossing over q pleated plastron. The tex
ture OF the silk is well adapted for the
empire skirt simply draped. lustsad oil

the Garibaldl blouse, but on other coca
sious they don the more dressy bodices OF

French modistes arrange plain faille or
China elk trimmings in hchu shapes on
basques of p~OmpadOur silk or toulard. An
old rose silk in p~ompadour design Is SIMPLY
trimmed with plain old rose elk or crepe
scarfs gathered into the shoulder seams,
and are brought down and knotted in the
middle of the pointed bodice. Slilor col
lars Of velvet or MORE are sometimes used
on the basques of ~pompadour silk.
The newest color is q particularly beau
tiful shade, and is called by the ugly name
of Crotnu. 1t is q gilded blonde tint
with greenish lights, partakIng Of the we'll
known suede color, aud yet very different,
for ID is yellower, and at the same time in
clined to green, and is largely used for
walking and promenade costumes. Next
the green the suede and leather shades
decidedly rank in favor. Blue Is scarcely
seen, but red aourishes, and grsys OF every
conceivable shade, and in fabrcs Of every
texture. A brilliant red and another
shade that looks like a faded red are great
ly in vogue. Red silks, brocadss, and even
c~alicOes are largely used.
Crepon is one of the most artistic fabrics
of the season. 1t drspes gracefully and
is so soft and slight in weight that it does
not crease easily. For street wear, dark
green. dark blue, brown and silver gray
are chosen. Crepon is woven In stripes,
one stripe being wide and the next one
narrow. The narrow stripes are embroid-
cred in tiny dots of the same color.
Among the attractive exhibits OF the
season are fine delicate tulies, almost COW
cred with showers Of pearl beads. Silk
mulls have delicate etching patterns
wrought in floss silk. Crepe lisse, tine and
cobweby, has an embroidery of buds and
/ blossoms.
There are a number Of materials with
netted stripes, figures and squares, with
drawn work of lace, and net grenadines
that are marvels Of delicaey and beauty.
Silk broche for evening wear are very
fashionable for married ladies, and are
Otter ornamented with gold and silver or
metal band, and are sometimes draped
with delicate lace gauzs or some disphon-
Ous material.
Elegant walking toilets are trim
med inst now with leather or
leather-eOlored silk. Often the
waistcoat sleeves and skirt trim
ming will be Of deer skin and the hat or
bonnet will be trimmed with feather color
ed bows or feathers, and the parasol will be
made to correspond by putting n jaunty
festher-eolored ribbon or bow on the
handle.
1t is said that fashion now demands two
wedding dresses, A separate dress is con-
sidered necessary to be worn st the festiv-
tiles that follow the marriage ceremony,
Polcuaises and TediDgotes are az much
worn by young girls as by older
ladies. The styles and designs
are of course somewhat modified
to suit their youthful figures, and the color
and material employed are usually differ.
