skirt or panel, collar and cuffs and vest
have this tayorite decoration. Many Is
dies bvaid or embroider their dresses them
selves. There are many artistic designs
for this mode Of garniture. Among some
Of the most popular are vermecelli, Ger
man wall and the handsome conventional
flowers. The cactus is very effective in
the latter patterns.
A very pretty way is to braid the design
in gold or silver cord, and then to follow
it closely with a contrasting color that will
hsrmonize well with the color of the dress.
For instance, q German wall pattern seen
on a dark gray cloth was braided in silver
cord and outliped in black, which Il ade 1T
decidedly stylish. Another imported dress
of dark brown broadcloth had the design
braided in golden brown silk cord and
followed in cream color. A beautiful
dress of white cloth was braided in gold
and copper. Patterns combining both
brsiding and embroidery are very etfec-
tive in daisies or rose designs,
with the seed worked in silk or
beads. A soft wooden silver. gray
costume, richly trimmed in steel beads
and silver braid, had the overdress draped
in long, loose folds, with beautiful de-
sign worked in silver braid and traced by
a thread of steel beads. The centres OF
the flowers were ALEC filed up with the
steal beads. Braided pique dresses are to
be WORE this summer, and are pretty done
in star or coronation braid.
Blue, green, bropze, terra Gotta ard
fawn-colored cloth. braided with colored
braid mixed with gold or silver, applied
in arsbesque designs on the vest, and at
one side in pyramid, aud at the foot OF
the skirt as deep border, are among the
imported costumes. !
Many new English sergss are used, and
dresses made of them in gray and white
will be fashionable for summer resorts.

Red dresses, imported in numerous ma
terials aud designs, promises to be very
popular at seaside and summer resorts,
Red silks shall have small white or flow
cred stripes, while many quaint patterns
are in India designs. They are trimmed
in white lace and white silk or fine white
silk muslin. Bright red India silks, in
black figures, leaves and vines, have for
trimming black lace. Often deep aounce
of the lace is seen on the bottom of the
skirt; sometimes hounces of both the silk
aud lace are also used. Many red wool
dresses have for gsrniture borders and
insertions of black open-work embroidery.
The latest importations of black and
white lace and net dresses, are made in
| Empire style, with belted waists, and full
undraped skirts OF the lace or net made up
over skirts of taffeta silk. Some Of these
Empire dresses have plastrons of gold or
silver embroidery, or Of "copper" and sill
ver," or gold and steal, " made on black
net.
A dress that is comfortable and suitable
| to be worn on almost any occasion is found
in the plain underskirts and polonaises
turned back at the sides. and faced with
velvet, silk, or wide ribbon, which may be
either plain, plaid or watered. Into the
under arm seam, ribbon is sswed, and in
foout is drawn down to point and falls in
long ends. A pretty pulled sash is formed
at the back of loops and ends of ribbon.
A bright effect is always desirable for
outdoor summer costume, and this Is OBJ
tanned by the use of cOlored draperies over
6aderskirts of white wool, which are 90
popular this season. 4 iOlu OF the white |
material Is often placed under the edges |
of these fUll-colored skirts.
