eral shades Of rusty greens. The same
trimming was put on the Eton jacket
ON the collar and across the bust. There
were deep caps to the one piece gigot
sleeves, and these were covered with the
same design of embroidery. The wrin-
kled belt was Of green satin Of an almost
russell color. This whole dress can be
washed like calico by ripping off the
trimming.
The most Of the ladies who make up
wash dresses endeavor to have them SO
trimmed that they need not be undone
to be washed, but sometimes it seems
that 1t hns to be done. When it is done,
the trimming being likely to fade, it is
well to plunge the garment into strong
salt water and leave 1t there all night,
rinsing it in the morning through two or
three waters before washing it. No soap
should be rubbed directly upon the gar
ment, and any goods Of delicate color
should be dried in the shade.
There is a new silk called muscovite,
which has very solid though fine body,
with small bouquets Of tiny flowers in
the vatican patterns. The grounds to
this style of silk are always in some
soft neutral tint, Of which silvery
green Is one Of the prettiest and sage
green next.
Some of the heliotropes shade off into
true mauve, and this by gaslight appears
to be delicate rose leaf pink, and one Of
the most exquisite little frocks Of the
season was made of heliotrope india
wool which was striped with silk, and
this stripe was crinkled like Grape.
Around the bottom was a floral pattern
in which several shades of green and
yellow predominated. The skirt was
made quite plain and gathered at the
waist. The floral pattern on it was util
lied to make the upper part of the sleeves
and s.yoke.
Another novelty is stripe Of fine wool
with a heavily corded silk stripe en-
bossed with silvery flowers. | noticed
one pattern particularly that had soft
sage leaf ground of fine wool with raised
figure in silvery white flowers shaded off
10 pale heliotrope with shaded green
leaves. The flowers were about inches
across and were double petunias and
perfectly true to nature. Another pat
tern Of greenish gray had pink and sill
yer lozenges raised upon the surface.
As artistic and beautiful Us are these
different fabrics in heliotrope shades,
very few persons can wear them unless
they put something else next the face,
and nothing is SO useful or becoming for
that as lace.
In spite Of the effort to revive elbow
and flowing sleeves, it has been found
impossible, and no sleeves are made that
do not reach the wrist. But many ladies
have their gloves reach to the elbows, and
that answers the purpose when a very
dressy effect is desired. The gloves all
button, and very rarely is suede glove
seen for full dress. In fact, not very
many ladies wear gloves now in the day
time, and they wear them in the evening
under protest
Among the novelties for carly fall
notice no end of dainty and fanciful lit
tie caps which ladies are to wear at home
afternoons instead Of mornings, as they
used to do. These arc the veriest trif1es.
But. oh, how pretty they arel Lace Of
the most ethereal sort is the foundation,
with bits Of ribbon and perhaps deli
cate flower. or maybe the softest fluff
OF pale tinted feather They are very
becoming to every one, old and young.
