For Summer Wear.


(artistic, would say, save for the abuse
and misuse of the term than the white
dresses prepared for this summers wear
during the months of July and August. In
the first place white is again the favorite
festal dress for 1890. 1t is seen in every
Imaginable kind of material, silken. wooden,
cotton, linen and its mixtures.
White mousselaines de sole over white
taffeta, and with China crepe gowns, with
silver and gold trimmings take the lead
over all others in ethereal hghtness and
misty, vaporous charm. Then the tulle
and organdy, now called mousseline de
chiffon, take the lead for full evening dress.
White fans, white flowers, pearl and dia-
mond ornaments and white shoes are worn
with white and silver toilets. When gold
tinsel is used with white, the jewelry is
gold, amber aud topaz, the gloves and shoes
tan or chamois colored, and embroidered
with gold Yellow feather fan and yellow
trimmings give the finishing touches.
White toilets for afternoon wear are
made variously of white cloths, braided
with gold or silver, OF white yelling, chal
lie, berge, China and India silks, foulards,
of nansooks and cambrics, plain and en-
broidered, lace trimmed or not trimmed at
all, save with tucks and gaugingS OF batlste
and of yellow Victoria lawn. Then there
is host of white wooden stuffs, some
heavy, such as lawn tennis and catching
f1aDnels, others light, as grenadine, and
others all or nearly all pure cotton, but
woven to initiate wool, and these are made
up into pretty and inexpensive wool gowns
that will not be expected to do service
more than one season, for they cannot be
washed owing their shrinkage and sleazl-
| ness.
To carry with these out-of- door gowns
are parasols of white and cream, covered
with lace In fact, the lace parasol is the
popular sun-shade this season. Whether
| of finest silk with handle of ivory of Gel
luloid initiating ivory coral, amber or mala-
chite and covered with finest chantilly OF
Valenciennes or tulle or net, or il only oil
cream tinted sateen, over which falls
cover of tamboured embroidery net, and q
white wood handle covered with scorch
work, the lace parasol is paramount where
ever gown is worn that is presumably
full dress or demi- toilet. And if the dress
is white, the parasol is white also, and it Ii
either covered with white or cream lace, OF
lined with fullness of lace that termi
mates in deep fiounce around the edge Of
the parasol
White hats and bonnets are also restored
to favor. But these, whether of lace, tulle
