St. Paul daily globe., 1888-08-26

rope of enameled fOrget-me-nOtS is one
of the newest and prettieSt of the de-
signs for bracelets to be produced next
season.
Girls at Bar Harbor are wearing with
their white flannel blouses solid silver
belts, to which are hung bonboneres,
fans, mirrors, gloye-hookS and powder
boxes all OF repousSe silver.
Bathing shoes OF chamois, in mocca-
sin patterns and braided with blue or
red braid, to nratch the bathing suit. are
the latest additions to the gorgeous surf
costumes at NarraganSett Pier this sum-
mer.
A unique bracelet, both brilliant and
attractive, has three jeweled bugs
mounted on a knife-edge band. The
bodies of the insects are a moonStone.
pearl and Cape ruby respectively,
while the wings of all are of small seed
pearls.
Green hats, or white trimmed with
green, have more and more favor as
summer grows apace, while greenish-
white flowers, hops, SnowbailS, locust
flowers, Cherokee roses and dOgwood
flowers are positive rage upon black
straw, either alone or combined with a
bit of black net.
Though green in par excellence the
color of the season, gray is very good
second, and of all of it's numerous
shades none is softer, clearer Or more
durable than the mouse or Maltese gray,
which either alone or in broken plaidS
with white makes many of the most
elegant summer gowns.
The elaborately carved shell combs,
which enjoyed a revival couple of
years ago, have given place to shell
pins with comb tops, equally large
and even more intricately cut
| in leaf, flower and geometri-
cal designs. Some of these are shell
| pins pure and simple, others are gold
| trimmed, banded and ornamented until
they make very costly bits of silver.
The bathing suit of fiamboyant plaid
is Asbury Parks contribution to the
summer novelties. The owner of this
noticeable costume girths it about with a
plain sash and wears a big Tam
O'Shanter, which admits of the hair be-
ing tucked up under it, and ties a
bandanna handkerchief around her
throat. She looks as if she had been
struck by rainbow.
In the bandanna-patterned India silks
the drapeTy and waist are made of the
handkerchief-fgured goods, the vest,
| panel, or whatever part of the under
| skirt that is displayed, being of con-
| traSting plain color of Surah. For eX-
ample,a costume in which the bandanna
is of dark red, with orange border and
figures, has long plated panel of very
dark blue surah, and the loose vest is of
the same.
Silk and cotton grow more mixed, not
iii fabric but in costumes. Silk blouses
are seen with cotton skirts, and besides
velvet collars and cuffs wide velvet
sash is much worn with cotton dresses.
This velvet must be black or of some
dark color. Thus pale-blue gingham
would have black or dark-blue velvet
trimmings, pink gingham has them in
dark red. and pale lilac ginghams are
trimmed with dark violet velvet.
Brooches grow larger and larger and
terS or bouquet, in which the pansy,
violet and daisy intertwine their golden
stems; or else it is three large Parma
violetS, tied together with golden
thread. and shining with diamond dew:
else spray of Persian lilac, or blue
kornblumen, or edelweiss in dull white
! enamel, or cluster of the ''forget-me-
nots that grow for happy lovers"
The newest hats are mass of bows
made OF Satln-edged mOire ribbon. four
to eight inches wide. These are placed
| feet, and usually consume as much as
six or seven yards of the ribbon, which
! is tied up into endless loops and knots.
Little black birds are rage also, and
one of these hats is of dull stone-blue,
with great mass of bows of the sane
shade well up one side, a cluster of five
tiny black birds being placed in the
center of the loops. The effect is ex-
tremely chic.
Summer silks are plain surfaced, as
| foulard and taffeta, but for winter fine
bird's-eye effects, like armure patterns
I and twilled peau de sole, very soft and
! fine, are in course of preparation.
| Stripes will be shown, but made by diff
ference of weave rather than by color.
Red is to be the favorite color again this
winter. and heavy silks are being pre-
pared for street use in dull Pompeilan
shades. Red cashmeres, with borders
of palu-leaf and camel's-hair patterns
