II would now be difficult TO deter
mine where the wrapper ends and the
tea-gown begins, so many new styles
for morning are shown; the prettiest of
which are the Watteau gowns In soft,
plain silks, or very fine crepons, with
white lace fronts and half tight glrdlesi
full lace sleeves trimmed with :i0Ooh
and wide lace frills. In opposite style,
are dotted pique morning suits without
any trimming except pearl buttons,
their severe simplicity attOrding all
agreeable change. Graduation dresses
are OF white China or Jap silk, crepon,
Grape or silk dotted yelling, very plain
ly made, either full round waists and
small chiffon vests, or pointed waists
trimmed with ribbon. The most de-
sirable fabrics forinexpensive wedding
costumes, are satin, faille.crape or lace
crepon, with just moire ribbon ruffie
around the skirt; the high necked
waist and elbow sleeves tastefully
trimmed with lace and ribbon.
THE DISPLAY
of yachting, tennis or outing suits at
Lord & Taylor's is strikingly hand.
some, and II white crepon in "EtOh"
style with dark crimson silk blouse,
sailor collar. white yachting cap anu
wide crimson sash, was universally
admired. Others are of many blue or
crimson serge, with "blaZer" or
Eaton" jackets either perfectly plain
or trimmed with four or five rows { I
narrow white, gilt or crimson braid.
Outing costumes of fwhlte throughout
are very fashionable, and as a matter
of course, the blouse and cap or sailor
hat are also white. Sleeveless sllk
vests with Iull fronts. and double irllls
at the back, have been brought out III
all stylish light shades, to be worn
under white "Etonn jackets. The
novelty in white "blazers", is the
collier being faced with light colored
brOcaded silk.
STYLISH BELTS
of black brown, tan orcrimson leather,
pointed at the back ahd front, laced up
with cord and tassels, but real ~
fastening at the side with metal buck
les, are very much worn; also round
belts with fancy clasps. Those OF gilt
or silver are in very handsome, fan
ciful designs; and some extension styles
may be used as round belt,or allowed
to droop at the front in CLEOPATRA"
STYLE. The Swiss or bodice belt is one
and the same; the suspender belt has
straps passing over the shoulders with
metal buckles, and the Gordon"
sash also is shown with similar straps.
SHADE HATS
for watering places have broad brims
which may be curved to suit the
wearers style or individual taste.
Leghorns are expensive, but lace straws
trimmed with large ribbon loops or
Alsatian bows and Rhine stone orna-
ments, are quite as fashionable. one
very large rose about six inches IN
diameter, placed in the centre OF the
crown; another toward the front, with
falling buds and leaves and flat velvet
bow at the back is a very stylish
trimming. Small flowers, ostrich tips,
lace or twisted stems are much In
favor; streamers However are no longer
used, and a buncn of field flowers or
velvet bow is the most stylish finish.
Loops or straw trimming in two cclols
and also in Leghorn braid, have just
appeared on new hats, and while not
specially attractive, is a genuine nov-
city.
RLACK PATENT LEATHER SHOES
retain their popularity, and are some
timestrimmed with perforated facings.
Tan shoes are as fashionable as ever,
gray is next in favor,and white canvas
Shoes are essential. The newest black
slipper is the CLEOPATRA" the vamp
of suede, patent leather back and
ribbon bow or Rine stone in front.
Very low bronze slippers with beaded
toes and a strap passing over the IN
step are also stylish.
A BEAUTIFUL NOVELTY
in gauze fans, is an overlapping pinked
and spangled white chiffon frill,
attached to each stick mine in all)
with carved bone handle. The same
design is repeated in black, where
very minute painted flowers are
substituted for spangles.
