Summer Gear for tho Lovellest Part Of Gro.
aton-Fashion's DEGREES.
This season in dress is snowy and
gaudy one.
Ladies Of certain age wear the, ca.
pote OF embroidered tulle, with turban
Of velvet ribbon, and q cluster Of feath-
ers at the back.
Bingham and cambria gowns are
modelled upon the same designs as the
more elegant dresses, with the excep-
ton that the coats do not appear insuch
material.
A very simple but very pretty gown
is Of pink zephyr, trimmed down the
side and the bodice with gimpiIg. The
sleeves are full, and fastened at the
wrist with pearl buttons. Sash Of
pongee.
A stylish visiting dress is OF pale zinc,
gray bengal:ne, with Spanish jacket
edged with silver passe menterie, which
also edges the basque at the back. Sill
yer girdle; sleeve of gray and white
bIocade.
Much beading and passementerie Of
all sorts are used. The perfectly plain
skirts are no longer considered stylish.
A beading must be placed above the
hem, or cording added to give the
proper finish.
Collar and cuff trimmings come in
gold, silver, bronze and all the varying
shades OF these aolors. By means OF
them an otherwise common appearing
dress can be gIorihed and IDENTIFIED
into thing of beauty.
White duck and straight-out vests
make up their toilets, with u white
linen shirt-font with three gold but
tons, and over tho shirt bosom fastened
q black doeskin or broadcloth vest ex-
actly similar to a gentleman's garment
Tho fashionable woman will be as
masculine in her attire as the still re.
manning incumbraTce OF petticoats will
permit. She will have her skirts, and
caps, and mems scarfs; in addition to
these, she will still have the tailor-made
gown, which will be built more man
nish than ever.
Printed lisse is the newest fabric for
jabots, fichUs and like CONNECTIONS. So
artistically is the printing done that it
looks to passing glance like painting.
Tiny leaves and flowers in brown and
pale tints are struck over white, or per
haps over some subtle shade OF yellow
or lavender.
We arc happy TO say large white
collars and collarettes, either in en-
broidery or lace, are come into fashion
again, for they are neat and pretty
finish to all sumner toilets, Plastrous
and chemisettes OF white embroidered
silk, muslin or foulard, ruched with lace,
are also very fashionable.
There appear in the show.windows
broad satin ribbon in all shades, dotted
with imitation turquois, emeralds, opals
and moonstones. These arc set irregu-
larly at every inch OF the ribbons length.
All varieties Of bright galloon can be
obtained in any color, decorated with
stones OF any other variety.
Black lace dresses are being recalled
into popularity. A year ago every wo-
man, young or old, who made any pre-
tensions TO fashionable dressing, num-
dcred in her wardrobe at least one net
dress. For season the net dress has
been upon tho wane, but modistes an
nounce that the spring trade finds many
OF these gowns in the shops.
One especially dainty style OF SUMNER
dress is n dark green China silk with
white flower pattern, which is made with
a simple skirt, faced across the front,
and side breadths, with abane Of dark
green velvet, about an inch wide, headed
with galloon; and a short, close-fitting
basque, seonly garniture lisa Medici
