s., MOTIFS.
Green, greener, greenest are the tints
of the future.
Fashions in bannets are decidedly sug-
gestive OF the Empire period.
Ribbons Of all materials, patterns and
sizes se much used for ball dresses.
Skirts are growing wider, but the dis-
ference Is made entirely in the back
widths.
Many imported gowns sre wholly with
out steels, aad have but the bare sus-
picion OF 4 cushion at the top.
Bridal teagowDs are Of India silk with
fronts of cream lace, which also shows In
an opening at the back of the skirt.
Flounces ere very much revived, and
may be put on the skirt pretty much as
you will, provided only th.t you do not
let them 60 regularly over it.
Some Of the Ioveliest bonnets are made
entirely of violets. others of sprays of
white lilacs, and few of pink moss.rose
buds.
The new, elegant and expensive sash
ribbons are made into fchus that cover
the waist and shoulders almost entirely.
A very new fashion is to put fold of
sharply contrasting color on the foot of
foundation skirts, SO as to show an inch
all round.
Box-plsited skirts OF white wool, deeply
bordered with galloon. are put beneath
the skirts Of the very handsomest colored
Wonllen costumes.
Very few hsndkerchiefs have not merely
colored border, but dots, blocks, bsrs
and rings, even pompsdour bouquets riot
ing over their whole surface.
Pointed cspes Of black cashmere, edged
with one or two deep frills of lsce, the

of loops Of msiza colored tulIe, enciEcled
by diadem of Jspsnese roses, the point
of which is formed of the flowers stalks
and buds.
All tennisl gowns are made this year
with full skirts laid in plsits or more
rarely tucked. They have never any
drsperies st all, bright ribbon sash
knotted st the bsck or on either side sup
plying all deficiencies in that line.
Leghorn fats are worn by girls OF all
ages, and are trimmed with white MORE
or fsille ribbons in long streamers st the
back, and clusters or wreatbs Of white
ltlacs, daisies, or small pink or white
roses, or APPLE blossoms.
Face wells OF dotted gauze srs very fash
ionable, and at present women are rarely
seen on the street without bit OF trans-
parent stun drawn across their eyes. In
many cases the veil is worn to the chin,
covering the entire face and tightly drawn.
White dresses of mohair, brillisntine,
serge or yelling, are chsming for wsterir e
place morning wear, and they are made In
severely simple styles with tailor. made
bodice and draped skirt, or with tucked
skirt and surplice waist, or In true Parish
an style with the lopg polonsise undrsped
In front snd caught up in large full puffs
st the back.
Rose, pink and white are the brides
msids' colors this season; also white,
