rIue Six gown, weun ngures printed in out
line in black all .I1w. it. Around the bot
tom was a naracx E.s1e of peacock blue
velvet. The slsahQ .r1re pulled to the ell
bow. and there wss . ssal of white lace at
the elbow and .lHAkNs from under the
band at the neaa Ga1hing to the feet.
There was a squars .ryrei of lace bordered
by gilt braid studied with imitation
topaz. The tiny hat was of gold braid, with
blue silk drapery and bow The parasol
was pale pink covered with alternate chif-
fon rufies of blue and white, these colors
being so pale that the three blended into
lilac as the light shone through.
Miss Morris, a descendant of one OF the
colonial families, was much admired. Her
dress was a tan colorad cashmere sublime,
with fine rows of white lace insertion laid
overit. She had a cape made of two ruffies OF
black lace and bretelles of black silk, which
were scalloped with pale blue silk, and
there was a dot embroidered in each seal
lop. There were across the front n drop
fringe and down the front two ribbons,
each bordered with lace, which fell in iabot
STYLE. She wore a tan colored straw hat,
with crimson flowers and a windmill bow
perched in front. The parasol matched her
gloyes-a stone gray-and had borders OF
the same lace as that on her dress and W
crimson bows.
Another elegant dress wa that of Mrs.
Thomas H. Howard 1t was cafe au lait
Grape with black trimmings and a black
bonnet with lace butterflies. Mrs. Fernan-
do Yznaga had a white billiard cloth gown
braided in fire pattern with silver cord
The sleeves were pulled at the top and
came down oyer the hands. She had q toque
of black velvet with gold lace and carried
a black parasol with black lace ruffies, each
outlined with gold braid.
All of these costumes saw the light first
on this day, and there is not n that
would not reproduce well in almost any
material desired.
/ have Just received a letter from Paris
which gives q few IDEAS on what we may
expect for this fall in the way Of hats, and
I am not quite sure that they will please.
Still they may. They are of a rough, coarse
felt in poichinelle and clown shapes, with
high, peaked crowns and narrow soft brims.
There will also be felt boleros, some deep
pokes, almost the great bonnets of our
great-grandmothers, whose rosy faces
looked like apples in the bottoms of bushel
baskets in them. There are besides these
another and more ~coquettish style called
petit marquis and several following the
lines Of the ugly Louis XI. There will also
be hats like the Napoleon ], and they will
prove becoming to many, and besides these
will be what they call garde franchises
and gendarmeS.
The garde franchises are tricorne and will
have a bunch Of flowers in one corner and
ribbons in the other. The others, while hav-
ing the masculine form, will have some
thing feninineto give them grace and color.
For summer the straws will be the best
liked, the lace straws and French chips be-
ing by all means the favorites, but the lace
ones endanger ones complexion, so that I'M
less one has a very big parasol it is best to
leave them aside in making q choice.
The shapes untrimmed look so bare and
unpoetic that it is hard to imagine how
pretty they would be when ornamented
with flowers, ribbons and the other bits of
brightness that are set apart for woman's
adjournment. The harlequin hats will have
rosettes made Of quilted ribbon velvet or
satin, or they will have aigrets of osprey
or bolero balls, or they may be trimmed
with a simple ribbon band and buckle.
perhaps wear them without any trimming
W0iCCfNI.
There is a queer form with a shovellike
front and with the back of the brim cut
out In two deep scallops and turned up
ward. To trim such a hat for summer a
double bow standing up in butterfly style
is made Of gray tulle or to match whatever
color the hat is, and in the back a twist of
the tulle with a spray of outstanding
flowers. The bow in front could be held
by one of those new jeweled wasps that
one sees nearly everywhere. Horrid taste
it is to put insects and reptiles on ones
garments. 1t may be artistic to have q big
fat bumblebee lowering over q flower on a
coi1ed wire or to have a hairy spider spin
ming a web among the blossoms, but from
them to beetles and cockroaches is not far.
The new Golf shape of bonnets has ear
laps, which come down just back of the
ears, leaving the back Of the head exposed.
These Golf bonnets should be Of black or
very dark green or blue velvet and edged
with large beads, pearl or jet. The crown
