1t is most excellent fabric for summer
travelling, as one may be crowded or jos
tied and still this material will retain its
freshness aud beauty.
There are exquisite tintings and color
ings in wash surahs that will find favor
everywhere The cOlOrs are beautiful,
the tints so blended as to make them
generally becoming, and the fact that

In dreSsmakng foundation skirts are
still made two and one-half yards wide,

fronts of satin to be worn with velvet
bodices and trains have the embroidery
only around the edge and not very
deep. handsome black dress has
the skirt front of faille, trimmed
with festoons of fringed passementerie
down the front, and over this coat of

home dinner The pelerine collar of
point gene, showing small gold beads
here and there, with high standing collar
around the neck and satin bow in front
is also very effective. A very handsome
plastron is of plated boiling cloth strapped
across with narrow MORE ribbon in "a
slanting fashion and finished on one side
with small bows. Upon the other side is
