ing silk, trimmed with stripes Of figured
border.
Silk shoes and stockings Of the same
color as the gown accompany ball and
evening toilets.
Hosiery worn with low walking shoes
should be the color of the shoes, usually,
of course, black.
Quotations from Shakespeare in raised
letters appear upon some of the newest
bangle bracelets.
A cloth mantle for children is made
with yoke, the skirt portion gathered to
it and pinked all around. 1t is inexpen-
sive and picturesque.
New ocket-handkerchiefs are of white
cambria, with sprigs of dainty tiowerets in
colors, initials embroidered to match and
a narrow openwork hem.
A friar's gown like the monks cloaks,
to be worn as a travelling cloak, is OF
dark blue serge with ecru silk lining and
monks heads carved in ebony posed in
front instead of buttons.
The accordion plated skirt has had its
sway; the damp air and rain soon re-
lieved it of it's beauty. 1t proves service
able in ornamenting house dress, as
these costumes are not subject to the
trials of the street dress.
Green continues to be the favorite color
for ladies' costumes, and the most novel
is called eel-green, sort OF blush green,
a very pretty shade. Other fashionable
colors are begonia, port wine, Danube
blue, seamew grey and Florentine bronze.
The new fancy straw head.coverings

many of the bonnets and round hats
they are arranged in what is known as
Grow and row" braids, these showing
device.
Princesse dresses of 'oyster-shell"
white satin are favorite gowns with
wealthy dowagers. These are draped
with crepe de chine, also in oyster-shell
white, which new shade has cleaning
sllver-gray tiki with no cream whatever
in its reflections.
A new baptiemal cloak for baby breaks
the dull monotony of an article that
would seem to know no change. The
| cape only comes to the waist, is made of
sprigged cashmere, and trimmed with
rows of brocaded ribbon of various
widths. A washing silk cloak trimmed
with cotton guipure is in much the sam g
style.
Orange flowers are no longer arranged
in large clusters either for the coiffure or
dress trimming; light separate sprays
| are preferred and sometimes lilies of the
valley are introduced 30 as to render the
tout ensemble lighter and more delicate.
Myrtle leaves are also used instead of
those of the orange tree, as more dainty
| and elegant, while the thick buds of the
orange flower are altogether discarded.
Yellow and black are frequently seen
together. A dress of black crepon, richly
embroidered with black silk, plain skirt,
draped bodice, trimmed round the neck
| with Grape collarette, round the waist a
straw-colored faille ribbing, falling in
long loops at the back; hat of open-work
straw, with the brim jauntiy turned up,
| and simply trimmed with loops of straw
colored ribbon.
Some of the latest of the pretty designs
offered by the modistes are both neat and
artistic. One of them is white serge
walking.gown, has kilt skirt and long
Directoire coat, the fronts of which come
only to the waist. The tails of this coat
are lined with dark green satin, and the
front is finished with velvet revers of the
same shade. The closely fitting sleeve
has wide velvet cuff.
1t is not necessary any longer that a
BRIDES dress should be white silk.
Pretty fancy fabrics, such as granite,
sort of crepe.de.chine, prettily bro
caded with silk combined with plain
yelling, make up very tasteful wedding
dress, which possesses the advantage of
being useful afterward as dinner or
evening dress, with the addition of a
colored sash and bows. AS for gloves,
those of unglazed white kid are in the
best taste.
| The caprice for borrowing details from
masculine attire grows still more evident,
and in tailor-made walking suits and ten
mis- and yachting costumes there is really
very little except the skirt to distinguish
them from mems dress. Soft felt hats
in black, white and gray are worn, caps
with cloth or leather visors, stiff neck
ties with scarf-pins, sailor knots and col.
lars, vests and cutaway jackets, link but
tons, shirt waists and studs, aud 3D. on.
These little affectations appear most
charmingly with sweet sixteen.
The jacket bodice for home dress seems
to be indispensable. One can be made
Of pale gray limousine, with a vest Of
faille beaded with steel; the upper part
of the bodice is finely tucked. Another
is made of grasshopper-green fullard
finely plated TO the waist, forming q
buffing around the basque. The Senior
ita jacket is of ivy green faille, finely
braided. Stockings are chiefly of black
or dark silk, or filoselle, plain or en-
broidered, or open work. Black silk
stockings are in good taste with all
toilets.
The very fiat shapes of hats, as we'll as
the small capotes and toquets, 80 much
in vogue, all require the hair to be worn
low down in the neck, as it is impossible
to place it inside the chapsau. The hair
is, therefore, now arranged in a long
twist or plait coming down in the neck
and fastened up again, with a pretty
comb or ornamental pins. Pretty models
for both are made of gold, silver and
enamel; but those most in good taste are
simple and of real tortoise shell. The
combs are very tiny, in openwork design
generally pecked.
Tennis dresses should be made o.
white or some plain or striped fame
skirt. 1t should be very full that it may
not impede running. With this Skin
there should be several light fanne
tennis shirts. which can be purchased
ready made. These shirts have proved
very warm, and many are adopting the
cool, thin muslin blouses; also few are
