Baltimore Sun.
Fashion has declared itself in favor Of
some sort of outdoor wrap or mantel this
ses7on to be orn alike by old and young
ladies. The models exhibited are very be-
coming to a good figure, and do much to
disguise the defects of poor one. Rows
of fringe, sacques of lacs and cape
like sleeves conceal thin arms, while
trimmings of falling pendant drops show
to advantage on more robust styles
of womanhoCd. There are some exquisite
novelties in summer wraps. The most
charming are those made of beads, metal
gimp, passementsries, or silk grenadlne.
Some dainty fancies FOR ladies who like
pretty triflles are composed entirely OF
| lace. Many of the foundations Of the sum-
mer wraps are mere skeletons, encrusted
with rich, fine gsrnitures The sleeves are
Of open work psssementerie, metal glmps
and beads, CT of net and beads. Some OF
the newest wraps are baaque-shsped, and
have cape sleeves, while Others have the
sleeves composed of Lace flouncing laid in
small pleats. Most of the models I'M
ported are short, and stylish. Indeed
they are all singularly pretty this season.
Some entire hats and bODnets are made
of lace or tulle; brown, red, reseda and black
are the principal shades. Some entire
bonnets of tulle are also seen in the new
golden green, trimmed with apple bios
blossoms at the side The shade of green
is used with darker colors, frequently with
the dark bronzs sbadoS

auently made of embroidered ribbons, and
often trimmed with glace ribbons. A very
pretty one is capote in shape, with the
crown covered with gobelin blue silk, and
gobelin blue ribbon deliberately embroid-
cred in silver goes around the crown and
forms the brim. Glace ribbon forms loops
in front, showing silver and gobelin blue
tints, intermingled with the loops is silver
wheat The strings are of glace ribbon,
tied under the chin. This bonnet ID also
duplicated in reseda and gold shades.
Another bonnet hes the crown made OF
gold lace and brim of moc9-green velvet
with high cluster Of gold wheat epears
and pale green wheat leaves at the sides.
A pretty English bonnet is made entirely
of a plated pith of pinkish tipge. The
crown is in the form of horseshoe, slight
" indented, made By tbs insertions of the
pith sewn closely together; ribbon bows of
beige color and white msrguerites stand
up prominently. The strings are Of beige
ribbon and tied at the side.
Large hats are somewhat on the Gains.
borough order, but with low crowns and
| wide front brims, heavily trimmed with
large tips plumeS and lace. These are
popular for carriage wear and summer re-
sorts. For the seaside, where plumes are
affected by dampuess, they are replaced by
trailing vines, flowers aud large clusters Of
crushed roses. A feature of the trimming
of all these large hats is the scarf of
black lace, which falls from the back and
is wound around the throat and caught
on the shoulder with bow or y hand
some pin or ornament. The Tosca has
bsen very much changed since it was
frat seen, aud now presents the appearance
of a large poke with the brim turned up in
front. A large hat of fine black straw has
its brim drawn at the sides and fastened by
straps of black ribbon, with small gold
beetles embroidered upon the ribbon. The
only ornamentation are two gold quilts
that stsud up against the crown.
A large hat of beige chip has its crown
covered with pink crushed roses, and over
them and around the crown is drawn q
scarf of beige colored net, which crosses in
the back, and is drawn to one side and
knotted.
Among some of the unique short wraps
seen are those made OF combination Of
ribbon and braid or tinsel. Wraps made
of alternate rows of ribbon snd galloon fit
over the bodice in jacket fashion. These
are seen in black and steel, black and jet,
and also in colors. A startling combina,
ton is of apple green ribbon and steel gall
looms. Some wraps are composed entirely
of beads, strung in fringes, and forming
delicate designs. Among the simmer
wraps of London models are velvet man
ties with high collars, trimmed with lace
and jabots OF lace from the throat to the
waist. The trimming Is carried dag
onally from the shoulder to the
bust, and consists of a galloon of
open cord work, generally mixed with
gold. On the shoulder and at the
waist in the back are bows of ribbon. The
fronts are narrow and long, into which are
inserted pufGpgs of lace. The sleeves are
wholly oil lace, and generally OF sack shape.
