Black grenadines with colored hor-
are the hd'tte moucedute and are
nhaoe over silks the color of the bor-
"er' or over black if preferred. Satin
riooons decorate some of them. One
III lotos flower design in the new red
called CIRQUE on black is made over
SILK The same shade; narrow border
III the same design is employed in the
CONSTRUCTION of bodice and sleeves and
the ribbons used in this case are of
black satin.
Inc oordered grenadines and fish
nets and fancy laces, etc, called by the
french fantasies, will probably last
out for season; for more permanent
service and convenient toilette dressv
enough for almost any occasion vet not
TOO much so for the promenade moth
ing can equal the Chantilly lace.
Ihese can be made very dressy by a
combination with Empire brocades.
one just from the house of Emil Pas
quler Is In the new design, a border
running around with small figures
ABOVE; 1t Is made over black satin
duchesse, q round skirt with side pan
els OF Empire brocade on q chartreuse
green ground; at one side of the back
there Is draped width of the brocade,
on the other loop and end of a MORE
RIBBON sash of the same shade of green
which Is draped about the waist FORM
ing point back and front: the waist
mas a plain back with draperies in
front OF the Chantilly and bretelles of
the orocade which begin in point be-
low the shoulder, are slightly gathered
on top OF the shoulder to make them
stand up very high and are laid fl at
down the back to the point under the
sash.
Another beautiful gown, also from
fasquler, is in dark slate-colored bro
cade and plain peau de sole same shade:
the Dlrectolre coat is of the brocade
over full petticoat of peau de sole
which has sash of the same draped
at the left side with fringed out end
falling quite to the foot; the large but
tons are white figures hand-painted
on black background and have rims
cut steel; the novelty of the cos
tune is in the vest and undersleeves
which are of MORE of the palest pearl
color embroidered with opaline beads
and lines of tiny silver spangles placed
one against the other, each fastened by
bead.
We have been asked to describe
Grecian costume of the present day,
and have thought best to give de-
sign of one as conveying a clearer
idea; the one represented is in white
crepOn with Grecian border embroid-
cred in gold draped over petticoat of
plain faitte; the draperies are caught
by jeweled clasp similar to the
shoulder clasps; the rows of tiny
pearls in the Grecian couture complete
the ensemble.
Very beautiful matinees are made
of cloth in very pale shades. almost
white, richly embroidered in colors;
these are simply jackets, tight-titting
at the back. with Figaro fronts over a
blouse or draped front of lace; the
mo gen age sleeve. full and high at
the top, opens from the shoulder down
over an undersleeve of lace.
Some are made of Louis XVI. bro
cade, and the fronts are laid in two or
three deep folds at the shoulder seam
which extend to the bottom, but the
shape of the Figaro front is preserved;
these also open over draperie of lace,
and have lace undersleeves.
An exquisite little CONNECTION is in
white cloth embroidered in shaded
violet, blouse of point de Vahsquez
lace over a vest of violet silk; full
sleeves of lace over violet silk.
Very pretty tea gowns are made in
accordion plaitings of white or pale
tinted crepon; over these is a jacket of
gros grain silk same shade, richly en-
broidered all over with gold chain
stitching; there is a sleeve of plated
crepon reaching to the elbow over an
undersleeve of the embroidered silk.
Jet passementeries have satin flow
ers and leaves introduced in their con-
struction in various colors to match
the material of the garment they trim,
and exceedingly effective.
Some of the heavy laces used for
borders and panels of summer gowns
have their design covered with en-
broidery in the color of the gown
