sol, bonnet and dress of pale yellow
about her neck.
Black ribbons edged with pale Spanish
yellow and yellow gross grain ribbons are
largely used with black dresses. This
shade of ribbon has, since the time of
Moses, been used in combination with
black by the women of Granada, and ia
especially becoming to their clear bru-
nette beauty.
Following the revival of mohair is that
OF bunting, fabric that has stood the
test and has proven SO serviceabls as to
justify its return to favor. A pattern
gown of this material HAD a plain skirt
gored in front and with straight back
breadths shirred closely at the top.
Ihese breadths were hemmed at the bot
tom about eight inches deep. Across the
foot of the front breadths was a pinked
out rose ruohing made of the bunting.
The sleeves were made bell shape with a
narrower ruching of the same, and three
rows of ruching at the left shoulder, and
met at the right side of the waist under a
rosette of tbs same. This was made of
English bunting. which is stiff and harsh,
and thus sets up il good shape. The
French bunting is softer, being but little
heavier than yelling.
Another costume OF navy blue bunting
has pretty pleated aud deep pointed
yoke back and front, full waist below
confined by double pointed girdle of
blue velvet laced in front. There 10 a
standing collar of the same material.
The sleeves are full, the height at the
shoulder not exaggerated. The skirt is
plain and gathered at the waist and has
three tucks at the bottom. The long
pointed yoke meeting the points of the
girdle is a new feature and universally
becoming.
The prinoesse is likely to continue in
vogue, and as royalty seldom walks this
cut is especially adapted to home gowns.
Made in this fashion, with q short train
of four or five inches, a dress is not only
becoming but elegant. Trains Will GER
tainly be worn, but let them not be too
long on tea gown, evening or reception
gown, as then what would be otherwise
graceful becomes a drag and the woman
to whom it is attached resembles one of
the little river tugs with larger boat in
tow.
The hot weather suggests the frequent
use of the handkerchief and fashion is
kind, for the style de rigeur is a rather
large linen cambria mouchoie, finished
with narrow hemstitched hem. One of
these is waved to the readers in the hope
that cooler days are Fastening.
NOTES.
The csrnation is the favorite flower for
the button hole.
The newest jerseys havsS trimming
around the armholes.
All net wells are worn to the edge of the
chin and travelling wells must be still
longer.
There is one thing fully decided as to
autumn fashions. Basques are to be
longer.
The most usual trimmings on net
dresses are fiat bows of ribbons, which
are often arranged in rows to form
panels.
Black stockings are still worn with
boots and dark dresses, but for
wear with light toilets there is fascinat-
ing variety of stocking to match the color
Of the gown.
The newest wrinkle in parasols is one
which conceals in its curved handle the
ever useful glove buttoner and powder
puff. They are within q box which
opens with tiny spring.
