ing black summer satin with nearly every
sort OF costume.

simply bands of the goods stitched on in
several rows of stitching.

long, some OF them almost touching the
floor. These, however, are more used
for house dresses, street garments being
shorter and much less elaborate.
Some of the new bonnets are masses
of velvet ribbon, velvet flowers and pas

to expect a woman to wear them.

with full petticoats, but all are long and
very ornate, of silk, velvet or cloth,
elaborately trimmed and equally elabo-
