hi'i iEt " was vi stIlllll
pink china Grape, quite plainly draped.
The sleeves We're of challie in the upper
and cream Spanish lace at the lower
part, with a band of velvet between.
Down the front, starting from the
shoulder line, was a cascade of Spanish
lace which marked the line between the
challie and the Grape. A prettier gown
could scarcely be imagined.
l think it would be very pretty made
of chambray and zephyr bingham, with
one of the stouter wash laces for garni-
ture. 1t could hardly fail to be pretty
no matter what it was made of, so that
the colors were judiciously assorted.
Two other lovely gowns We're shown
which will grace the garden fetes at
Newport soon, and as | always think we
all nave a right to share in pretty things
| present them. One consolation in
dressmaking this season is that the home
dressmaker can so easily reproduce the
most ornate of them.
One of these was of maize China silk.
with very pale but large pink roses and
their leaves. The sleeves were modified
leg-o-mutton; the waist "A simple Spen-
Ger, with the poke of lace over pale pink
China silk. Around the bottom is a band
of the lace bordered with narrow moss
green velvet ribbon, which also is ar
ranged in a series of bowknots as trim
ming, both on skirt and across the bust.
The hat is of pearl gray Milan straw.
with trimming of pink and green velvet
and two black princes feathers.
The other is of gray printed cashmere,
cut princess back and front, with vest
of pink Grape, and with simulated jacket
of white lace, which also forms part of
the sleeve. Garnet velvet ribbon adds /,
finishing touch in the way of rosettes
and ~borderings. The hat is of yellow
straw - Alpine crown with garnet
feathers and gold stickpin ornaments.
Among the many ephemeral fancies
of the season is that Of the blouse waist.
This is a most comfortable garment,
particularly adapted to youth, though
not debarred from those who have
passed their girlhood. 1t is made Of
calico, muslin, silk or outing cloth. II
is a simple loose waist with a rundown
collar and a jabot or frill down the
front made of plating of the same.
Made of navy blue surah or China
silk with a white frill it is very pretty
and modest. With a red frill it is more
striking. With one of the same mate
rial it is quieter and more refined. Made
Of calico it looks clean and fresh, and
in any kind of goods it is loose, cool and
comfortable; but no material or trim
ming can make it dressy. 1t is for ordi-
nary occasions, when comfort and thu
free use of ones arms are the prime
considerations.
These blouse waists can be worn with
skirts of serge or cloth, and Il short
REFER jacket a be slipped on if the
day turns cool. They are very handy
for morning wear for Young persons.
notice that the old style lace shawl
is to be worn as an elegant wrap by such
as are fortunate enough to have them.
There is nothing more truly refined or
ladylike, but they are not worn in the
old way, but are drawn up into a sort Of
wrap form and held in place by fancy
pins.
The new silk pe~tticoats are being made
more and more ornate. The foundation
is just like any other skirt, and made Of
