The pretty Indian and Japanese
silks, which are so light and pleasant
to wear in warm weather, are more in
vogue than ever this summer in Paris.
There are beautiful glace surahs In "
variety of lovely tints, some plain,
some delicately streaked.
The new foulard silks + fantasticai
in the extreme. They are of all tints
and of the most extraordinary designs.
There are, for instance, patterns OF
large holly leaves, outlined in blue or
yellow over a black ground, the spikes
of dandelion running to seed, rising
straight and stiff above three or four
leaves, the whole merely outlined and
in the most fanciful of coloring. There
are also patterns of large japanese
chrysanthemums in all colors, and
palm leaves curved out in the shape
of q parasol. Then there are stripes
of fresh, gay coloring; China blue, rose
color mauve, over a ground of pale
gold or parchment color. The latter
Is a new and fashionable coloring-it
is neither cream nor ivory whiSe, but
the faded yellowish tint of old parch-
ment.
OF really new colors there are none.
Vague, uncertain shades are still those
most ia vogue, only they are called
new names Thus, the soft fresh
green so much in favor is entitled, &C
cording as it is lighter or darker, bud
ding spray, young leaf, or palm green.
Violet, so long known by the name OF
Ophelia, now goes by the cognomen
of anemone.
Pongees are more fantastic than us
ual this season, with quaint devices
and geometrical figures, while tusson
remains the most ladylike of materials
in its subdued tints of buff and straw
color.
Dresses are more generally com
posed of silk now that they are made
up in a more simple style. Skirts are
pleated in different ways, often with
plain panels trimmed with basement
erie or embroidery. Fancy galloons
are also much used in trimming.
The following Is a very new and ele-
CANT model:-It is a plain and figured
foulard. The plain is silver gray; the
figured is of the same shade as the
ground, with a pattern of tiny ivy
leaves in shaded green strewn all over
it. An underskirt of silk lining has
the front and side only of the plain
foulard, striped across with fancy
passementerie galloons in green and
silver gray, relieved with streaks OF
gold. A double skirt of the figured
foulard is turned upfrom right to LETT,
and folded back SO as to show the I'M
derskirt striped with galloons. At the
back it is pleated full. A thick
pinked-out ruche goes round the foot
of the skirt, and comes up to the waist
along the left side of the back. Round
wasted bodice, with full draped
points crossed from left to right
and edged with galloon. Sleeve plain
at the top, and full from the elbow,
gathered on to a wristband decorated
with galloon-
Another very tasteful walking dress
for a young lady is of Sevres-biue veil
ing with pointed border and sprigs.
An underskirt of silk is covered with
an ample one of yelling. Redingote
of the same material open in front in
the shape of a coat. The back de-
scribes a sort of long narrow coat. The
redingote consists of the back and side
pieces, giving the fullness required for
two hollow plaits. The fronts are
pinched in and slanted off so as to
form the coat. The front opens at the
top in the shape of a small V. 1t is
trimmed with a draped fchu, edged
with the pointed border. Semi-long
sleeves are also trimmed with the
pointed border. -PhaladelphiG Rec
