Skirts divide themselves into two
classes on summer dresses. There are
the Killed ones, on which the fashion il
10 have the plaits very narrow and tao
plain variety, usually finished with Dor.
der of braid. velvet. galloon, or what
ever the trimming OF tho dress may be.
AS n general rule the lighter fabncs look
we'll in kits, while silks and woolIen
goods, suitably trimmed, are better left
plain.
oREES FOR THE FALL
Among tho earliest hints OF the COM
ing fall fashions / sec that green, al
ready so popular, wiifbe almost univer-
sally seen in all the richer fabricA The
nnmber Of shades produced by the dyers
Is startling. Green is usually an easy
color TO manage. Nearly every style oil
complexion can stand one OF its many
variations, and the number OF other
colors with which it viii tastefully com.
bine is many.
DIREcTorBE STYLES
viii certainly come prominently TO the
fore IN the autumn modes, and l should
not be surprised il evening dresses du.
ring the season will be in this fashion. q
a really charming toilet in olive
green camers-hair cloth, recently noted,
was made in rcdineote style, the two
sides OF the redingote in front enclosing
from the collar 10 the whist fall vest OF
copper-colored sarah, the front of the
skirt below being of the same material.
The combination OF eolors was o most
vivid and effective one.
HINTS FOR THE PAIL.
Percales, ginghams, aud chambrays
are the light fabrics devoted to chill
drens dresses, AND all the models are
quaint, picturesque, and childish.
Monochrome toilets, which will proba-
bly, be in quiet shades, are predicted for
the ialk
Bustles are quite pdrsct, and reeds are
now used with oil fashionable dresses.
PRETTY OUTDOOR SUIT,
of once stylish and picturesque, is in
figured challies The sleeves are full
and plated, terminating in "smocked y
cuffs of surah with narrow bands of green
velvet. There is a V-shaped vest not
mere shirred at the collar and full be-
low. This is bordered by narrow revers
OF the same velvet as that used on the
collar and cuffs Around the waist, and
exceedingly full in front, is sash of the
cashmere used for the cardinal
red the ends, very wide, falling at the
left side. 1t is similar in the mode OF
wearing aud effect TO the sash OF the
Spanish peasant. The fd6tier is square
shaped, rather long. and bordered with
velvet, while a small portion OF the skirt,
velvet-edged, is exposed below it.
White and gray is a pretty summer
combination.
HOSE FOR LADIES.
The stockings now worn are either
black, bronze, or in some of the suede
or tan shades. There are certain num-
Der Of ladies who still prefer white or
balbriggan hose. however, and these they
continue to wear. When stripes are
worn they are Of "hair-line variety.
FASHIONABLE JEwELRY.
Clusters of small diamonds are now
more favored than "solitaire" settings,
and long sprays composed OF many bril-
hants are the most fashionable as they
are the most costly form in jewelry.
Among the fancies for finger-rings one
OF the strangest is liking for silver in
stead of gold. Sapphires and opals are
much liked for ring settings.
Silver is the fancy of the hour in other
directions. White or oxidized, it is used
for hair-pins. Coral and silver and tur-
quoises and silver are combinations espe-
cially favored.
LONG Wells, TENNIS SUITS, ETC.
Wells are longer than usual. They are
now worn below the chin and are oftenest
OF plain Malines. new gauze for wells
is known as "Narragansett fog"
One of the prettiest of tennis combi-
nations is orange and white.
Misses wear very wide sashes OF ptcot
ribbon, frequently forming the only
drapery on the dress.
Foulards still continue in favor, espe-
cially ut the summer resorts.
Large hats of lace or tulle are trimmed
with flowers, and are charming for coun-
try wear.
Striped limousine and striped nuns
yelling are among tho most dainty and
effective materials in use for "beach "
dresses.
Albert cloth is one of the popular
woollen materials.
sAsHEs FOR THE FALL.
II is said that sashes will continue to
be feature of the fall as they have been
of the summer fashions.
On light dress recently noticed,
which included lace trimmings, there
was a full jabot OF lace upon the back of
the basque from the collar TO the waist
a novel and effective garniture.
There is no sign of the reappearance
OF the whilom so-popular plastron.
