In this case, not only the collar and
cuffs belonging to light-colored gown
are black, but strip of jet goes around
the arms and body. Tho blackbird

of this same idea.
The two fair promenaders in the
second illustration may be accepted as
opponents of hot-weather dressing in
New York. They wear light gowns,
composed of what is loosely described
as washing" materials. The leading
stores show new pattern, winch are III
some cases almost rich enough to be
mistaken for silGen and wooden goods.
PLAN stuf1s are not much likely to be
patronized, as the manufacturers have
chiefly aimed at producing goods which
can he worn for considerable length
OF time without requiring cleaning.
The gowns embroidered ali over in
colors are an improvement upon those
worn last year, and there is bewilder-
ing variety of arkstriped materials.
But the most charming of all are the
cottons worked with gold, silver cop.
per, and colors intermiXed with tinsel
threads. Panels, vests, and entire
fronts can he made of these goods,
which are not very expensive, consid-
ering their highly effective appearance.
To match these new cotto1s, gallOons
and trimm ngs of all kinds have been
roluced of the same lustrous, rich
nature The rage for glittering effects
has inspired the manufacturers with all
kinds of new ideas, and We are now no
longer confined to silver, steel, gold,
and copper, as every color and tone is
now produced in tinsel, and we can
thus obtain trimmings OF the most daz-
cling metallic brilliance I o exactly match
our gowns, howe, or delicate may be
their shades. Thus floral designs, re-
producing the natural colors of the
blossoms represented, will yet have all
the glitter of tinsel. These handsome
trimmings will especially enhance the
appearance of washing costumes, and
will also be used in all probability upon
summer hats as well.
The bellies of New YORK have started
in pretty lively at baseball this season,
and at the games already played in
town they have been presentin unusual
numbers. Their toilets for these oc-
casions are apt to be OF an English
STYLE, and the one | have sketched is
fairly representative. The wearer was
as pretty as have tried to portray her.
She manifested Il genuine interest IN
the sport, and watched it closely while
her dainty escort posed and paraded
more palpably for admiration. OF
course, it may be said that the girl was
simply the more skillful in hiding her
vanity, and that she was quite we'll
aware of the fine figure she was cutting.
Rider Haggard is scarcely compliment
airy to our sex. Upon being questioned
as to the reason why he chose so Curl
GUS title for his notable work, "She, I"
he replied. that the best explanation
was, that women are vain. "Aysha was
vain. She liked to dazzle men with
her charms, and finally, her vanity
was the cause of her death.
After reading Mr.. Eaggard's
unchivalrous remar s, | nc

ever, let US quit philosophy and get
back to the news of fashions. This
girl at the ball ground wore white
cloth tailor-made jacket, lifting her to
perfection. These white waists are be-
coming plenty. and SO are losing the
distinction which they had at first.
They will hardly become common, how
