NEW STYLES IN GLOVES.

newest of all are the long mousquetaire
suede gloves in the new orchid color, which
Is little pinker than the heliotrope of last
year. These gloves will be very much in
favor to wear either with black evening
dresses or with costumes Of the same
charming tint.
In the department of gloves for visiting
and afternoon wear we find the same mex
haustible variety The Paris suede Ascot"
gloves are, as their name implies the ideal
for the races. These are in all the prettiest
shades, are Of six button length, and are
stitched in wide points with silk Of their
own color or black. Gray suede gloves have
been brought out with black crochet backs;
four buttons are more worn than are six in
the day time on ordinary occasions. Ladies'
who like novel devices will be particularly
pleased with the new perfumed suede
gloves. These are fragrant with orris root,
and the perfume is imperishable.
Gauntlets are generally adopted in the
country, in reindeer aud chevrette, and
now it is possible to match the most tender
colorings in drab or gray or indeed any
tone. White English doeskin is gaining
in favor and so are the new sack gloves,
drawn in at the wrist with elastic Driving
gloves are TO be had Of great many kinds
such as the dogskin, with amber buttons;
the gray doeskin, stitched ia red, with an
improved thumb-piece, and the soft button
less gauntlets, all most serviceable and ex-
ceilent. For ordinary wear there is no
doubt that the Russian leather gloves are
most serviceable. These are exquisitely
cut, and fit well down into the spaces be-
tween the fingers, so that their general ap-
pearance on the hand is remarkably good

Summer Dresses.

There is a revival Of dainty, old fashioned
muslins for cotton dresses for summer of
corded dimities, Of lawns batistes and or
CANDIES These sheer fabrics will rival
without displacing the thicker ginghams,
percales, cotton cheviots and sateens. In
thin fabrics the first choice is for those with
clear white grounds strewn with flowers
or branching designs in pink, lilac or
blue, but there are also many with dark
colors as well as with black grounds. The
new dimities are thinner than those for
meriy worn, and are woven in corded
stripes powdered with colored figures.
Striped lawns are in great favor IN broad
widths, and in narrow quarter inch stripes
Of yellow, pink, pale violet or china blue,
alternating with white. These come in
the soft mousseline de PInde, entirely
without dressing. Embroidered batistes
are liked in colors, while thinner organizes
and dotted Swiss muslins have large de-
signs Of flowers printed upon them,
Tailors are making tucked bodices and
shirt waists of duck or of cotton cheviots
for young ladies at boarding school and
for yachting dresses. In thinner fabrics,
such as washable silks, there are bodices
and lengthwise taeks stitched all around
the waist, giving the effect Of a corselet,
with the silk dropping above like blouse.
Coat sleeves, square cuffs, and a turned
over collar complete tucked bodices Of
duck or cheviot The straight skirt has
fan plated back. Spencer waists with yoke
and belt are cut out in square tabs that
fall low on the hips and give coat effect,
or else they are scalloped deeply and edged
with embroidery This design is pretty
for ginghams and percales. One Of the
prettiest new bodices for lawns or ginghams
has a round seamless back and jacketlike
front. It is made over a fitted lining Of
white sateen. All kinds Of ribbons are
used for trimming summer muslins-

bearing since 1902 Its maximum yield
was in 1864, in which year it produced a
sufficient quantity Of grapes to make 165
gallons of wine; in 1874, 1867 gallons, and
In 1884 only 791I gallons. In 1880 it seems
to have taken an extra squirt, the expressed

To begin with the most important OF all
evening gloyes-there is a glove known
as the twenty button length, fastened with
three buttons and clinging, mousquetaire
fashion, TO the arm, reaching nearly 10 the
shoulder. This extreme length is reserved
for full dress occasions. For evening wear
on less distinguished occasions, there are
gloves in twelve button length, reaching

length which cover it. But perhaps the

That this is the result of merit, and
