remnants flying from every possible place.
The skirts, particularly in tulIe or net,
have vertical tucks in which ribbon is
run, and insertion is let into the spaces.
The fancy for combination is not past but
frequently toilets are mingling Of milk
white India muslin, eXquisitely embrOid-
cred, and white crepe de chine most
tastefully interspersed.
In mousseline de sole, what can be
pTettier for evening, when Jack has laid
aside his fatigue costume, than this deli
cate, half transparent white material fall
ing over a white satin skirt and trimmed
with narrow satin ribbon, the back and
left side falling over a pleated satin
panel the waist made over n low-necked
satin bodice, V shaped i'll front and edged
with silk lace, through which very mar
row satin ribbon is run, the sleeves
pulled from the elbow, and tied with
white satin ribbon between each puff ), Il
broad sash ending the waist at the back?
Because that ii midsummer, in garden
and in drawing room, white beauties
abound, let not every woman think she
adorns herself by the putting on of white
garments. Women of tall, slender,
willowy forms, although the age be I'M
certain, may array themselves in virgin
trusive should eschew it, as it is more
conspicuous. To them is left the opDO-
site, black costume, that eXaggerates
nothing and grows in favor OF all for
street costumes, particularly if mingled
with white. The prettiest ones are made
of mouSseline de laine. Twelve half
inch pleats of white form the back and
side panels. Between them hang
square-cut tails made of black,
embroidered or braided with white
around the bottom The front is COM
posed entirely of the black, embroidered
with white and ended with a heavy silk
cord The waist is fastened TO the skirt
a la princess, and is perfectly plain, save
that both back and front it hiss a V
shaped bit of white. The sleeves are
made full and tied about the arms at the
elbows with narrow white ribbon A
black chip hat, trimmed with white To-
Gust blossoms, carelessly stTewn across
the crown and apparently held in place
by filmey mass Of tulle drawn over the
hat, should be worn with this SUIT An
other pretty dress in black and white
striped surah and all wool grenadine
is the black and white stripped surah
forming the full front and back breadths
of the skirt and all wool grenadine with
silk open work stripes compose the side
panels of the skirt and directoire coat.
The broad Directoire revers of the coat
are faced,with black surr6h and open over
a vest, upon which is draDed a handsome
black cnantilly lace scarf folded dag
onally, with the ends falling on the skirt
in front and confined at the waist bv
folded half belt of surah. The sleeves
are pulled high on the shoulders and the
garniture consists simply of laIge,
square buttons covered with black silk
and a deep-netted silk fringe across the
front of the skirt.
Some newspapers persist in spelling
Directoire wife a lower case cd - but
that does not render the mode insignifi-
cant, typos come no nearer being ar
biters of fashion than the common herd
Directoire is still spelled with big "D'
and the style is still Ia mode Direc-
toire coats of heavy stuffs are already
being prepared by French modistes for
the autumn. Directoire gowns are seen
with iabots of plated lisse, Irish lace
come in lovely Directoire revers and cuff,
and DirectOire ruffies edge all the dressy
bodices, made with Tapped diagonal folds
The designs for dress waist daily grow
prettiers d. many of them are being made
WITHOUT darts and show good figure'ta
great advantage. A pretty bodice toHa.
