gestions are earnestly solicited, and
assurance is giUen that all co%npn1uni-
cations aoiU rece6oe immediate and
careful attention, and a0iU be regarded
as strictly confidential If the aoaiters so
desire.
The very narrow gold bracelets,
with a tiny locket attached, continue
popular.
Many of the new silk parasols are
entirely covered with plain net of the
same shade, pleated in the accordion
style.
The Scotch fiannels so much used
this season for tennis suits are half
wool and half cotton.
Rosettes are much in favor.
Ginghams are to be very much
worn this season, but it seems absurd
to make them up, as some OF the
dressmakers are doing, with silk and
velvet.
Ruchings around the bottoms of
skirt are coming into fashion.

used on skirts as a substitute for
drapery. Rosettes, fans, ..clusters of
ruffies, strips and made trimmings are
all in vogue.
Fanciful designs are braided on the
brims of some of the white straw hats.
Small black lace hats edged with a
band of black and gold fancy passe-
menterie + very fashionable for
theatre veal. The waist is often
trimmed to match.
Direetoire hats with wide brims
made of rows of rather wide wash lace,
with one of them hanging down
around the edge, are intended for
watering place wear.
Carriers on sale in the jewellers shops
are mostly black silk elastic, many of
them having on them jewelled clasps
of considerable value.
Some new portemonnaies are per-
fectly plain and made of suede of diff
ferent shades; gloves of the same color
are shown with them.
Lots of ugly long silk mits are on
| sale, with tops of full lace of the same
color; these are intended to reach the
shoulder.
The elaborate little parasolettes are
very useful in carriages where it is not
easy to handle the large article.
Some of the new pink, blue, yellow
and violet handkerchiefs embroidered
d~elicately with white are very pretty.
The usual charge for pleating an
ACCORDION skirt is about $5, which is
excessive.
A new black tulle hat had a row of
very open jet passementerie going
around the brim, an inch and a half
from the outer edge; a shrimp pink
ribbon was run in and out through
this. The crown was entirely covered
with maiden hair fern, butterflies of
various colors being fastened to it in
odd places.
There is a perfect rage this season
for the narrowest width of gro grain
ribbon and for No. 2. The newest
fans have rainbow tops made eXclu-
sively of innumerable rows of this rib
bon. The fashionable black lace hats
have their brims lined with rows and
rows of it. Stylish new Oxford ties
have rows of it of every color, stitched
on both sides, either on the vamps II
ON the uppers. Parasols are extern
sively trimmed in this style.
The fancy of the moment is for black
and gold. Some of the most beautiful
evening gowns are made of the superb
black Brussels net flouncing, bordered
with gold over black silk or satin. One
of the new designs had long, narrow
fern leaves over a wide Greek border
in gold, extending from it to the top of
the fiounce. Another had above the
border gold stripes, at distances of four
inches, between which were tiny gold
dots. A narrow gold border to match
comes on the top of the founce for
trimming the waist and sleeves.
A spring hat for a girl of ten was of
brown straw in q Directoire shape,
bound on the edge with velvet of the
same color. 1t was trimmed with
brown and white striped ribbon, cut
in a number of pointed ends and form
ing q large rosette.
Some Jersey suits for little girls have
a white blouse waist with dark colored
skirts, and come with a square Span
ish jacket to wear over the loose waist.
For summer dress occasions for girls
of all ages, the embroidered fiouncings
with hemstitching are being simply
shirred on to a band without over
drapery, and are to be worn with a
surah sash.
A house suit for a child from three
to four years of age can be made with
q blouse waist with a yoke and short,
little fulled skirt and full sleeves. II
made of plain gingham, plaid is used
for a crossway piece to trim the skirt
and for the yoke and cuffs.
An outdoor suit of striped goods for
a girl of from six to eight years of age
is made of half fitting body with a
side opening and double row of big
buttons all the way down the skirt.
A vest is formed of a box plat, which
is also between the buttons ON the
skirt. Below the narrow standing
collar is a triple cape collar; the
sleeves are plain, with wide cuffs. A
wide belt of the material is fastened
with a large buckle.
Light summer silks are being made
up for girls seven or eight years old,
with three pinked and slightly gath
cred iounces covering the entire
skirt.
A pretty spring hat for a tiny girl
was trimmed with rosettes of white
ribbon, half gauze and half gros grain,
dotted with gold. Frillings of lace
were under the brim, near the crown
