Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-07-14

seems to be to puzzle the uninitiated as
to how the wearer gets in and out
Vests and plastrons are solid with no
fastenings visible. These are concealed
with cunning skill beneath some limo
cent-looking fold. In the finish of the
neck of July dresses it seems appropriate
that the band is not used, but cording or
binding is preferred and low, turn
down collar worn with it, verify Dame
Fashion has been exceedingly gracious in,
this way A pretty dress for young
lady is cut rather low in the neck with
plating of lace caught toge Their in front,
with two little jeweled lace pins; another
of garnet India silk with odd designs in
black had the skirt draped without other
trimming, the waist fulled from the
shoulder to the point on one side, the
other side trimmed with inch wide black
velvet ribbon About the neck was a
plated frill of point gauze lace, which
draped the shoulders. Sleeves pulled at
the shoulder and close-fitting over the
arm. A fitting accompaniment to this
was red gauze fan painted in daisies,
and a hat of black lace trimmed with
Jacqueminot roses.
For simple walking costume the fol-
lowing mode commends itself: The skirt
is plated, and in front it appears to be
fastened together in the lower part
by a double row of buttons. The
bodice is short jacket, with
peaked revers in the upper part
in front At the back it is tight fitting,
in front it fastens with one button just
below the revers, thence it remains
slightly open, showing plain vest but
toned all the way down with tiny round
buttons This vest does not come down
down about two inches lower, in small
round basque. Plain sleeves with
peaked revers.
Fashion reaches from head to foot and
while the girl may pander to the idle
superstition of wearing the yellow gar
ter she must have it hold up
black stocking, q plain Isle
thread for the morning aud deli
cate open work for full dress
The attempt to render the fashion of
vari-colored hosiery popular has been
failure For steady wear and all the
time the black that never fades nor fails
is the thing.
The summer girl still thrusts her dainty
feet in pigskin shoes, but this season the
yellow leather has been softeued, tips of
shining patent leather added and the
whole cooked on a French heel, with
Dfoau rlDDons TO lace IN 'front.'.
NOTES,
Cornfiower blue is fashionable tint in
Paris.
AS the season advances accordion
pleated skirts gain IN favor.
French women are wearing their sleeves
long, carrying out the old-fashloned idea
completely.
Guimpes of silk muslin are made to fill
up the V shape opening to waist A
frin of the double muslin finishes the
neck.
Stripes are very much the fashion this
summer, but more especially the fine
streaks in two alternate eclors or in vari-
Gus tints.
Some of the newest summer shade hats
have the brim covered with wide lace,
which extends over the edge, forming a
VEIL
Dresses made up largely Of pink should
not show color combinations, although
of course white lace may be used freely.
With many of the hats plain tnlle
wells are worn. These are sufficiently
long to cross at the back and tie in
bow under the chin
Upon neaEly all garments fancy sleeves
are seen. such as the fun gathered sleeve
