NEW York, June 20.-The monotony
of the sheath skirt, although trimmed
in a variety Of ways, has brought about
desire for change, which finds express
sion in a skirt with some fulness in
front and at the hips, greatly to the de-
light OF stout persons, to whom the en-
| tire absence OF gathers was extremely
unbecoming. An attempt has also been
made to revive the Princesse style, but
Judging from present indications, it
will not prove very successful, as large
proportion Of expensive costumes have
been made sheath skirti either with the
long coat effect; round basqaes cut into
squares, or short basques slightly point
cd back and front, edged with French
lace or chiffon ruiIles. These pointed
basdues are very much in favor for
China and India silk dresses, and be-
tween two lace rufiles on the skirt one
Of colored chiffon may be placed, III
harmony with the principal color in the
material. The present fashion OF put
ting tlounces or facings of colored silk
on half worn wool dresses is an econom-
ical one, and ruttle around the skirt

BLOUSE WAISTS
of dark blue polka dotted silk are very
fashionable, both as an adjunct to out
ing costumes, and also for street wear.

Jackets, and no one but those well
yersed in fashionable receptions would
ever imagine but what the whole blouse
was beneath. Norfolk" waists greet
JUS on all sides, and are in surah and
changeable ltafeta silk, linen, cambria
or nainsook in great diversity OF color,
and look SO cool and comfortable that
their very utility renders them charln-
ing. The great popularity OF these
waists has. given rise to an endless
variety in belts, and adjustable clasps
are also shown in order that one may
appear to possess q varied assortment
OF this latest feminine vanity. Those
OF gilt with jewelled clasps, or of metal
squares connected by delicate chains,
are most expensive; but leather studded
with heads and black velvet ornamented
with jet are also very popular. Long
waists continue the rule, and therefore
render a symmetrical fit more than ever
important This doubtless accounts for
the increasing demand for the R. 4 g.
corset, which OF all the different kinds
that have come under our notice, seem
best adapted to fashionable require
ments.
NEW TENNIS AND YACHTING SUITS
are in white, blue, pink or striped serge
or flannel; generally made up with a
very narrow skirt, and with or without
d jacket. A full blouse is indispensable,
and is usually Of the same material
with which the suit is trimmed,
although it is not obligatory that they
should match. The prettiest tennis
suits are OF white serge, with deep
facing Of dark blue polka dotted challi,
and sleeveless jacket with collar, reyers,
pocket fap, cuffs and full blouse Of
challi. These outfits are open to the
objection of being being easily soiled,
and dark blue serge, trimmed with gilt
cord, is much more seryiceable, or o
white serge striped with blue, makes u
pretty trimming on plain dark blue.
In millinery, the "Vassar Sailor" is
about the only new departure, and in
reality is variety of the sailor hat,
having a crown an inch high and a
broader brim. Here truly, is terri
tory upon which even the young
middle.aged dare not intrude. Some
times these hats are turned up at the
buck, but as arule, the trimming con-
sists Of very large rosette OF white or
colored chiffon, placed at the side, with
an aigrette in the centre. Amixture OF
white and gilt is beautiful garniture
