Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-08-26

be studied by five hundred women wish
ing to be in the fashion, where one
woman has any thought of being
wholesomely dressed and keeping we'll.
One of the9e costumes-the artist has
illustrated both of them-is of prim-
rose colored French challie; it is fg-
urcd with wild roses of delicate, yet
vivid pink, their pale yellow hearts just
coinciding In tint with the gown. The
sides are fiat, and down the front are
sash ends of silk finished with lace
and ribbon bows; the basque has
fall of lace, and long ends Of ribbon
finish the back. The bodice Is of
primrose tinted silk and opens in V
over the challie; the ribbons that
border 1t are passed through pearl
buckle and tied in front. The fall
sleeves have lace at wrists and should
ers. A little capote Of jet and roses
has been preferred for an accompani-
ment on the promenade.
The other costume is of creamy
brown silk, striped with darker velvet
and figured between with pompadour
bouquets. 1t Is made with the bell
skirt so fashionable and 50 inconven-
lent, and has jacket of brown armure
silk with revers of creamy lace trim
mings. These toilets have been de-
signed in New York, though much of
the bridal wardrobe is coming from be-
You'd seas.
Mountaineering dresses are among
the most interesting of those prepared
for late summer, and the one shown in
the picture is doubly worth attention;
it is a very serviceable model for other
use than climbing, and 1t was lately
finished In q. New York ateller after a
design sl1etched for her young daughter
by Mrs. Levi P. Morton. Tho Mortons
have been camping in the Adirondacl1s,
and gray serge striped with navy blue
and yellow was the material Of this
Adirondack gown. A sleeveless bodice
of plain navy blue was tabled over
basque of the striped fabric, and plain
oversl1irt was draped over the striped
undergown. Gold spotted ribbon and
brown wing were the millinery decora-
tiOns.
Since have been talking about the
novel things for early autumn now in
the dressmaker's hands, may give you
list Of the orders at present in process
Of fulfillment in the workrooms Of a
modiste whose customers are among
those fortunate or unhappy people
dubbed the ultra-fashionable: pale
blue striped silk; the bodice is cut in
tabs over an under bodice Of white
chiffon; there is a narrow belt Of
deep petunia colored velvet, Gov
cred with silver tracery; the hat
of black Lcghorn straw is trimmed
with blue and white and has band of
petunia velvet under the brim. The
dress of leaf green china silk shown in
the third illustration; the back Is drapcd
just below the waist; on the left side it
is caught up to the hip and held with a
rosette, an ''alms bag"-such meaning
less names do we give to things-hang-
ing below; the round waist is full and
has a large bow of the material at the
throat; the sleeves are pulled TO the
elbow and straw hat is to be worn,
with deep fall of lace about the brim.
More truly autumnal is dress of
tan-colored cloth, brocaded with blue in
crescents and stars. There is a tan
vest, with big gold and silver buttons
at the sides and long gauntlet cuffs
| The black hat which completes this ar
rangement is trimmed with pink roses.
Tan and brown is another new COM
bination, with pale heliotrope, silk
| sleeves. A brown hat to go with it is
trimmed with heliotrope chiffon.
Their time is not yet, but in few
weeks many things will be spread be-
fore the woman whose mind is OF
clothes. ELLEN OsBoRN
