Discovery Of a New Cape Which
Does Not Crush-Coslumes
for the Races.

FROM the surface of the SAITH. and lined
with satin. Another success was in
cream-colored satin. shot and backed
with pale green, and yelled with tulie
studded ovef with gold pallettes and IA
ished with Il double bortier OF Grsek-ksy
pattern in gold aud fringeu with gold.
The train was lovely, being in pearl
white satin brocaded with full-bloWn
magnolias and buds in silvery satiuy
sheen. the foliage being in pale, tender
green. This was liued with pale green
satin.
Dress as It is worn is quite o different
thug FROM dress rs ~expounded III The
rooms of modlstes, or written OF by cut
tured p~ropnetesses. There Is now but
little eXagCeration. The styles have
toned uown to Il beautiful uniformity,
any departure from which looks like
glaring bad taste. 80 educated have our
eyes become to certain lines which may
not be passed. Then il bright coiors are
worn they are either subducd by the lib
erai use of black, or yelled 30 some extent
with white CT cream color, giving the
charm of color; but no aggressive or III
sistent effect. Shot materials and chene
silks are chromatic colorings never per-
feet unless resolved into some decided
tone, which is usually done in the trim
ming. A whole costume III shot or ombre
material leaves as unsatisfactory a sensa-
ton Oh tue NINA as an uuSlOSeu caueuce
on an unresoived harmonT.
FANCIFUL HATS n BoNNETS.
Hats become more and more tanciful
as the season advances. Straws are so
daintily~ elaborate as to be scarcely recog-
nizabie. Much gold is introduced. An
exquisite little hat of palesG blue straw,
iuterlaced with gold was SO lightly con
sIrueted as to be quits transparent.
The brim in front was divided III two
points, turned up abruptly off the face.
while in the Gentle was placed an upright
bow OF blue ribbon aud n handful OF
coIlfawers in pale blue. The same idea
was carried out In PINK and gold. with d
bow OF spinach green ribbon and clusters
of white II berries. Hats with the
crowns and fiat bruins of guipure lace
stretched on wire are much seen.
One of these has the rim outlined with
twisted gold cord. For trimming there
is a fan of lace on the left side and a bou-
Quet Of yellow and white ostrich tips
Bonnets are now the nIerest trihes-a
rose or TWO, a kEot OF velvet and a pair
of strings compose many OF them. and ali
are worn as nat as possible on the head.
Inc bun coitfure is no longer seen In
good society. being now replaced BY
little Gu rls pinned all over the head. The
best dressed aud smarteS5 women all
nav their hair III ranged IN these little
curls. Princess Ms has worn hers for
some years In this way.
The charm of shot" fabrics is already
on the wane, though in effect they are as
pretty as ever. But, alasi like all other
pretty thugs appertalulng TO dress, they
are becomIug woefuilv coulmon. Almost
every other passerby seems to have some
thing about Ihem-if IL is only d boz in
their nat-Uhat is shot with two olors.
-A-tnrI la TIE park reveals quite an end
less number OF costumes III sole cnan-
geante aud the like. A glace silk was
shot with blue and pi nix aud trimmed
round the full skirt with iounces of
cream lace. Draperies of the same
yelled the bodice, and a jaunty little lace
capote, adorned with richly tinted roses,
was perched on the wearef's head.
WHITE GOWNS TO THE FORE.
White gowns nave been much to the
fore OF late. The whole range of muslins
promises TO be popular. White muslin
skirts, with horizontal stripes of lace
insertion let in, are lined with delicate
eolors. and the effect il charming. For
example, a smart gown of white organdie
muslin. made over bouton d'or satin, is
edged with a f1ounce of gnipure falling
on q ruche OF the satin. The seams are
outlined with AN insertion of guipure.
The bodice aud sleeves consist entirely OF
lace, through which CLEANS the gold
tinged salIh, and ribbons OF the last
named material are carelesSly knotted
round the waist.
A new cape, which does not crush or
in any way Interfere with the BALLOON
like sleeves of the present div. has just
been designed. It IS cut up on either
side of the shoulder point, so that the
arms are free. One of these mantles,
made for a slender, graceful woman. was
of black satin, and revealed with every
movement of the wearer a liuing of rich
yieux rose procade. III trimming on
the shoulders consisted of Il rufns of
black lace surmounted by two friils of
ombre velvet, In varying tints OF vleux
rose shading to moss green. The collar
was cut in TABS edged with jet. Small
shoulder capes-in reality little more than
collarettes-give a smart finish 10 sum
mer COWS. All kinds of SOFT muslins and
embroidered lace5 arc used for their con-
suructIon. A little coilet of yellow NOUS
seine de sole, embroidered in white silk
has a frou-frou of The same at the throat
aud q ribbon collar fastening with a bow
at the side. Pretty, too, is a cape COM
posed of double buuillonne of dahlia crepe
de Chine, from beneath which appears a
fiounce of cream lace WORK with gold
sequins.
Costumes for the races are now occupy
ing the attention of inilliners anu clients.
Some happy notions ha.e been designed.
A lovely frock of rose du Barry broche
silk is striped with a floral aesigu in
.'Dryadn green. The hem of the skirt is
flushed with u ruche OF cream lace inter-
spersed with choux of green ribbon.
Above this circle are four bands OF green
bengaline placed at wide intervals apart,
and each one has the seam concealed by q
rosette. The full bodice is of pink surah.
gathered on to u yoke of lace. The sleeves
are of lace from toe elbow, n the waist
is swathed il green bengaliue. Accom-
paying this costume is 4 coquettish hat
OF golden straw trimmed with green rib
bon. together with a sunshade IN green
mousseline de sole over white satin.
AN ETHEREAL DRESs.
An ethereal dress is II CONNECTION of
white mousss1lne de sole, streWu with
little bouquets Of pink roses and trim
med on lne skirt with Two founces of
rose-colored mnsiin surmounted by a
ruche of lace. The corsage OF white
mousseIine Ia draped with Il Marie An
t~oipette ficnu Of embroidered rose. tinted
muslin. kn0tted on the bust and falling
in a shawl point at the back. A croselet
of leaf green silk confines the waist, and
the balloon sleeves reach only to the
elbow, where they are met by long gloves
in mastic suede. A picturesque leghorn
hat, trimmed with pink roses, completes
this toilette. The sunshtde. however,
should not be forgotten. 1t is a simply
delicious creation OF green satin and soft
est pufiin9s and frills OF pink chiffon.
Men have taken very kindly to The new
May blossom brocateu silk for ties. II is
not only q pretty design. but it am
q little chivalric sentiment toward the
royal bride elect since Princess May has
seen the design and il much pleased thai
