Fashion Notes.

The wise woman selects her dresses
for the summer with view TO their
being useful during the fall and winter
evenings, or for house wear.
For ladies of moderate means there
are good-ftting, comfortable corsets
in lightweight materials that cost
very little money. Seventy-fiye cents
or 81 will buy very good co set.
Pale shades of yellow, maize, straw
and corn color continue in high favor.
The colors combine well with the
mauves and heliotropes now so fash
ionable, and also with certain shades
of blue.
Corsets intended for fashionable
ladies are not only very elegant, but
they are made in different styles, ac-
cording to the description of dress with
which they are TO be worn, the cor
sets for day wear differing in shape
and material from those worn with
evening dress.
Foreign ladies, to insure perfect fit,
wear woven bodices in silk or Isle
thread, which cling to the figure and
mold il like a jersey. The American
under body generally fits the form
about the waist, and is cut out over the
chest, and finished with rows of lace,
or embroIderies, put on to lie fiat
most striking head covering is a
fiat hat of white straw with pink and
green feathers laid fiat on the brim,
and at the back where the brim is
turned mp a plume of pink feathers
energies from a rosette composed of a
mass of ends of green ribbon, cut in
la1ce-head points at the ends.
Novelties in flower bonnets have the
crown entirely composed of the stalks
of the flowers; in others there is an al
most imperceptible crown of crinoline,
and the brim is covered with close
rows of stalks, the flowers at the ends
of the stalks forming wreath round
the edge of the brim. This is very
pretty in corn flowers.
The blouse is still worn, with or
without the open jacket. For young
lady, pretty dress is of faint gray
Indian yelling. The front consists of
loose blouse fastened under the left
arm. 1t is gathered round the neck on
to n round yoke, covered with narrow
beaded steel galloon. The back is in
the light-fitting Princess shape.
The newest beach jacket is of very
light-colored cloth. 1t has basque
ADDED on from the hips, which comes
two thirds down the skirt. The fronts
are crossed ana tight-fitting, with long
revers. The pearl buttons are white
and almost as large as a silver five-franc
piece. There are three on each side of
the fronts, and two just below the
waist at the back.
A Jacket bodice of yelling remains
widely open IN front, exposing the be-
coming blouse. This jacket is cut out
INFO tabs, and is trimmed down the
fronts only with three rows of beaded
galloon The sleeves are cut on the
cross, and are trimmed from top to
bottom with beaded galloon, put on
IN spiral fashion. A beautifully CHS
eled belt of old silver adds elegance to
this stylish toilette,
Particularly desirable for present
and future service are the dresses of
foulard, made with corselets and
basques of black net, with large meshes
run with very narrow satin ribbon, cor
responding in color with the pattern in
the foulard If this style is adopted
with dresses of plain silk and wooden
fabrics, very frequently the skirt is
edged with fiounce of the net run
with ribbon.
The latest style costume is that made
of very fine wooden, entirely in accor-
dion plaits The corsage is ornamented
with square figaro jacket fronts and
backs of fine guipure. The sleeve is
curious. The upper part is in accor-
dion plaits, the lower part is absolutely
tight fitting and very long. and is made
of gold tissue embroidered with jewels.
The collar and band are of black satin.
This dress is new, and will not becoma
common.
