Parasols. Morning Dresses and POlonaises
+ for the Summer Season.
The new shepherdess parasols are
made of Pompadour satins, figured
with small floral devices in natural
colors. They are lined with old rose,
absinthe green, cream white or prim-
rose color, and trimmed with ribbons
and lace in lovely thread patterns,
some of the ruffles ten inches deep, be-
ing of cream white, with narrower
lace delicately tinted, the color of the
lining, falling above. White foulard
parasols are dotted or striped and lined
with color matched to the stripe.
Parasols are extremely varied in style,
shape and size this season, being odd,
elegant, simple, elaborate, plain.
snowy, large and small. to suit all
tastes and purses. Crepe-lisse parasols
from Vienna have very costly and
beautiful handles, and will be carried
only upon elegant dress occasions
From Paris come unique models in lace
and satin, also dark red, blue and ter
racotta silk rain covers, warranted alb
solutely rain-proof
For spring and summer morning
dresses in eight mourning" gowns
of fine white challie are entirely suit
able and appropriate for ladies of all
ages. The French challies are as light
and sheer as nuns vailing, and many
women of mature years select those
hair-striped or figured with tiny pat
tern in black, and use them for prin-
cesse dresses trimmed with four or five
rows of very narrow black velvet or
galloon. There are also soft cancels
hair goods in white or cream white,
barred with black lines, which make
very pretty and becoming morning
dresses. These are very neat and
dainty when finished on collar, cuffs
and habit front with briar stitching in
black silk Among cotton fabrics are
soft India muslins barred with palest
lilac, with embroidered stripes to
match. These are warranted "fast
colors." Sprigs and polka dots are in
stock, but are not as popular as former
~. Sheer lawns in solid black are en-
tirely passes, as the laundress makes
sad havoc with the color, which even
in the most careful hands soon becomes
rusty and dowdy-looking.
Some of the newly-imported polon-
aises are made with open bodices-
heart shape or cut in a long V, the
point frequently reaching to the belt.
This opening is bordered with embroid-
cry, applique ornaments, or beaded
passementeries. Beneath this is worn
plastron of MORE or brocaded or
striped satin surah. A very stylish
gown exhibited has the skirt of white
vigogne bordered with band of moss
green satin surah, shot and broeaded
with gold. Above this is draped
very long Grecian polonaise of golden
green Henrietta cloth, as soft and lus-
trous as silk. The bodice portion is
cut in a long V, and bordered with
a band of beading in olive green and
gold. The chemisette is made of moss
green brocade, and just below tho
elbow the sleeves are cut in point at
the back, edged with the passemen-
terie, and finished with deep puff OF
the satin surah that reaches to tho
wrist. The panel-polonaise is in high
fashion, and is particularly becoming
to stout people, the model being in the
shape of a pointed bodice, with panels
applied. at each side. This leaves the
polonaise entirely open from the belt
down, the petticoat beneath being
usually Of some expensive material
