peding step SO light it scarc brushed
lew from flower or heather. Our ADeri
can lassie is just as winsome when tying
her brosd-brimmed hat Of some taking
shap5, unconscious Of her innocence, in
genuous and simple in manner, she steps
ont fresh and f.ir for her morning
outing. Wreaths OF peoples, OF roses, OF
trailing viEes sdorn her hat, or 1t may be
cluster OF wheat, of rye or OF oats, be-
get belief that the maiden herself is q
Ruth rather than Rachel. The pretty
white barred muslin mas full bodice,
with inserting in yoke and sleeves. The
round skirt Is hemned aid tucked, and 8
full sleeve is gathered midway the elbow
and the wrist into sn insertion band, 8
bow Of ribbon coquettishiy placed empaa-
sizing its prettiness; the wide sash ID so
put IS to form point in front sud gath
ared Into large bow at the back. Now
her friend joins her; how pretty she is in
aer grsy-blue chambrny made much after
the same fashion, but elsboIately trimmed
with open embroidery Of the same color,
her hat is Of blue sad white straw. The
crown is trimmed with clusters Of white
fowers, prettily veil d with blue tulle
and tied with full bows Of blue ribbon.
The protuberance CT orim in front, taken
with the lack Of brim behind, imports q
rather rekish cir to this hat, and makes It
harmonize well with her mode Of dressing
her hair. That is well brushed up from
the rsre Of tue neck to the crown Of the
head, snd any extension OF hat brlm
detracts from the perfect contour. How
delightfully."- quaint ID bevy OF the esme
bright msidens gathered or the lawn Tor
garden party? Their dresses, many Of
them, IRE the seIf-ssme sprigged muslin
so dear to The hearts Of their grGud
mothers, snd are often made over silk Of
some delicate shade :nd are trimmed
with torchon or valenceinnes lace, and
ribbons used most lsyishly. None sre
prettier than the large dotted white mus
Inns with E proius1on OF lemon colored
ribbon bows.
For strictly evening dress there is q
beautiful material called laminee and
much employed with iAille and peau de
sole. 1t has 8 crspe-!ike texture, with
fecks and lines Of gold thresd, giving the
curious eject Of broken sun rays. OF
this quaint fabric, sleeveless tunics or
overGresses In the prinCesse form are
made, and frequently tie Empire shape
is chosen, made over on entire silk ioun-
dstiou. S.shes OF sils are added, and are
arranged il the latest mode, which is to
start from the shoulder, and being drawn
into point at back Cf the waist, then fall
in two loops and ends.
An important feature in summer dress
is the sash. Many materials are used for
this addition to the toilet. MORE con-
tinues fsVorite, both in white and
black, while striped and pompadour
ribbons sre by no means disca rded
Crepe de chine from its softness is pic
turesque in adjustment, it is generally
friDged and makes double turn around
the waist. These sashes are frequently
inside into point in front and kept
straight by the Introduction Of whale
bone; the ribbon Is brought straight
around snd turn given below the hips in
loose folds before the bow is made.
For the sesshore white will be VOID,
though brunettes may in coral tints prove
sirens as we'll So those sisters who dwell
under the SEES. For white dresses the
lovely white Pansma hats, with huge
windmill Knots OF soft satin ribbon, will
be generally adopted, with the addition
Of bird, 8 wing, or natural flower.
One hist OF this description can be made
to do much service. The low crown,
broad front brim, and narrow turned up
behind one is the proper form.
