I.L4 Dalo,, wal

Potocki is a light Bordeaux red.
Condole is heliotrope leaning toward
plain lilac.
Saida is green ranging between COM
mon green and olive.
Sapphire. turquois, and bleu toile are
likely to be much worn.
Chimay is the name for blush gray
cloth with greenish hue.
Blue colors will be in great favor next
winter, and it is said that they will be
leading.
Grand moyal, or fin du steele, as it is
called is a reddish lilac, and indie new
blush green of an elegant hue.
The accordion-plaited peasant cloak is
new, the fullness being attached to a
cloth yoke, either plain or braided.
The latest blue shade in the market is
called Jeanne dare. 1t is OF light
though intense hue, and very becom-
ing.
Silk gloves fit almost as beautifully
as those of suede, and long-wristed mitts
are donned with evening toilets at sum-
mer resorts.
Guerrita is the name for green
yellow, much lighter than the lightest
olive. This shade will scarcely find fa-
vor, as it is not pretty.
Ladies of mature years wear costumes
of gitana brown, combined with the
new blodine, which as nearly as possi-
BILE reproduces the tresses of blonde
beauty.
Jackets of English hunting pink are
donned for coaching or hunting parties,
and, with their brilliantly polished gilt
buttons, are altogether smart and fetch
ing garments.
The top-coat may be worn with the
prevailing sailor hat of straw or light
felt, but a Marguerite gown should be
seen ON the street with picturesque
hat of null or straw trimmed with Mar
guerites or daisies to complete the effect.
A very attractive hat in white fancy
straw braid, faced with shirred white
net, is trimmed with an imposing bow of
velvet ribbon, three inches wide, in moss
green, posed at the back of the crown,
and holding full garland OF purple
heather, which is twined around the
crown.
Partisan women are seen at the races,
in country houses, and at the seaside
resorts attired in gowns of black Her
mani gros-grain gauze or Neapolitan
crepe over slips of satin duchesse, taffeta
or surah-the lustrous sheen beneath
heightening the effect of the diaphan-
GUS fabric.
The gauntlet cuff has reappeared on
suede or dogskin gloves, and is much
liked, as it is so readily drawn over the
fnll sleeves of summer gowns. 1t is ad-
mirably adapted for tennis, yachting
and Notwithstanding, and is often made
eof wash leather, which does not shrink
by contact with soap and water.
Single and double-breasted habit
basques, with pointed fronts and dress
backs, OF becoming length, are among
the leading elegancies of the season.
ANY OF the pretty woolens suitable for
street wear, may be fashionably made
up in them, white serge, camel's hair,
ETC., being particularly dainty.
Another pleasing speciality OF the sum-
trser is the vest, real waistcoat, with
narrow rolling collar and little turning
Iapels. 1t may be made OF as rich ma
terials as the wearer desires, but the
most popular fabric just now for travel
ing and morning wear, is what is called
canvas gingham, or pique, showing
small irregular or regular check.
Black lace hats are as much the vogue
as ever. Parisians are varying their ap-
pearance by having them trimmed with
the particular blossoms which happen
aba be most common at the time. In
this way lilies-of-the-valley and forget
gme-nots were superseded by lilacs and
labarums, and these again by pansies
and iris, flowers which are reproduced
in a variety of delicate gray-blue, violets,
and mauves. Now the peonies and
guelder roses are coming forward, and
then these will be followed by the June
roses. Some of the prettiest of the
black lace hats are made up of rows of
insertion alternating with bands of
black crinoline.
