Special correspondence to the HERALD.
New York, July 3.-Neglige styles
are charmingly illustrated by elk, BEN
galine or very fine crepon morning
gowns, in delicate pink, blue, heliotrope
or serpent" greent made Vatican or
empire back, with white lace fronts,
generally quite loose, but sometimes q
ribbon girdle is tied across, or when
half tight effect is desirable, q simu-
lated corselet formed by rows of tbaby'
ribbon run in the meshes of the lace is
a pretty variety. Full lace sleeves
trimmed to match, either falling over
the wrist, or terminating at the elbow,
are in keeping with these soft, flowing
gowns. White or colored dotted Swiss
muslins look very fresh and sweet on
the hotel verandas in the morning;
simply made, with full round waists
and moire ribbon sashes tied ct
the back With bows and long
ends. The newest morning costume is
of white duck, either plain or with q
dotted or checked surface, and made
Eton or blazer style. Their popularity
may be estimated by the fact that in
family where there are three young
ladies fourteen duck suits were included
in Saratoga and Newport outfit.
Changeable silks trimmed with velvet
yokes, Vatican bows of velvet ribbon
on the same tone, black or white lace
showing delicate touches of Jet or steel
passementerie, are standby for both
afternoon and evening wear, particu-
larly for driving, not being so delicate
as TO be easily injured by dust. The
proportion OF black dresses is small, 4
nets or grenadines being made over
colors.
BLACK LACE CLoAKs.
A black lace cloak presents very
handsome appearance for afternoon
drives, and Chicago millionaire's wife
wears the most beautiful one that has
ever been seen this season. 1t is of
heavy black net, in slender fern leaf
design covering the figures, with a net
box plating around the edge and deli
cate jet pendant between each plait. |
At the shoulders a deep V of garnet
velvet back and front, is edged with |
black lace put on very full and wide on |
the shoulders; tapering down toward /
the waist with jet paesementerie where
the lace and velvet join. At the back is
a jet paesementerie medallion with che
mile and jet "rain" fringe, fully "a
inches deep, and on each shoulder is
placed smaller medallion with fringe
about 18 inches deep. A row of passe-
menterie similar to that which outlines
the velvet V extends around the neck
and down each side of the front. An
other very elegant wrap for cool after
moons is of black bengaline with crimson
satin stripes in two widths, richly
trimmed around the neck and front
with superb black lace.
WAISTS AND BELTS.
The immense favor accorded silk
waists and velvet, colored leather, gilt
or silver fancy belts, has solid basis of |
utility and economy, as by means of a
half dozen silk waists, the same number
of vests, six or seven belts, two or three
skirts and white crepon or serge Eton
suit, young lady of moderate means
blouse of pink or white bengaline with |
square yoke, cuffs and belt of jetted net
is another attractive waist for evening
wear.
EVENING GOWNS.
Beautiful evening dresses are of India
or Jap silk, lace crepon or crepe de
Chine; but the two most favored fabrics
are Grape in all fashionable light shades
and embroidered crepons. An excep-
tionally pretty design on very fine white
crepon is O cluster of white silk en-
broidered daises with green stems, form
ing border six inches deep extending
around the skirt. The waist is made Of
a similar ''all over" pattern and narrow
trimming edges neck and sleeves.
Grape dresses have either puff, or two
or three narrow ruffies ON the skirt, and
sometimes plain chiffon ia used
in combination on the coreage
and as frilling on elbow sleeves. FASH
ionable handkerchiefs are still edged
with valenciennes, duchesse or point,
and row OF insertion adds to the gen.
eral effect. The newest styles combine
very fine embroidery and lace or en-
broidery alone, and the preference for
wheel patters is noticeable. Colored
embroidery is again coming into vogue,
and in the matter of perfumes it is
noticeable how the old-time favorites
still hold their own, notwithstanding
the constant competition of their rivals
of later fame. Especially is this the
case with Murray & Lanman's delight
ful Florida water, which is this season
luOl0 pOpul&I blCu 0NcIt AUQ QSS0fVeQlV
so, as no sweeter essence of living flow
ers could be conceived it's delicate odor
giving the stamp of gentility.
SHOES TO MATCH DRESSES.
AS shoes now match costumes, gray,
tan or white canvas are much in vogue,
black patent-leather trimmed, with
perforated facings, are stylish, and with
shot silks, very low bronze slippers with
beaded toes and strap passing over
the instep are most appropriated. The
"Cleopatra" is the newest fancy In
black slippers, having patent-leathef
back, suede vamp and either ribbon,
bow or Rhine stone buckle in
front. The "Blucher Oxford"
is another new style with rounded up
pers and as pointed toes and high heels
as the most fastidious French taste could
demand. Gauze fans are always pretty
piaythings, and novelty in this line
shows two-inch wide overlapping chif.
fon frill fastened sideways to each stick,
with pinked and spangled edges. For
the same design in black, very small
hand-painted flowers are used on the
chiffon frills instead of spangles.
