or course, "no one is back" vet
Equally Of course, the streets are live
lier than for two months and the season
for the shops is open. So far as ma
terials 90, one can tell now as we'll as
ever what the autumn, and even the
wlnter, will see, but there remain the
thousand varieties Of cut and mode and
finish, OF crinOlines big and little, ruff
fes few, many or none at all, collar
cites and jackets, sashes and gimcrack-
ery generally, by which individual
tastes react upon the mode and make it
q perpetual surprise even TO its makers.
In material then, since long ago the
looms had ceased 90 weave 10 and are
now fast iashioning rich raiment for
the sunny summer girl Of '94, TO mate
rial, extremes will meet at the door.
The toughest Of materials for out of
door-will give place, when my lady re-
turns from drive or walk, 20 the dainti-
est and most frail Of textures for indoor
wear. A cloth which will be popular
for walking dresses is Of very rough,
coarse basket weave, whose meshes
seem to stand boldly Out, alternate
touch. This will be most fashiOna-
Die in the modish browns, most beauti-
ful and effective in dark blue, with a
purplish tinge. Less pronounced 10 a
way, aud suitable whether indoors or
out, Is bold compete OF green's, such
as / never saw before. Dull, dark,
rough surfaced sage green is its ground
fabric aud this is pierced and lightened
BY spiculG-sO a geOlOgist would term
them-by little CLEANS and darts aud
dashes Of lighter, smooth surfaced
green that seem almost 20 flash, as
they Tighten up the dull surface 90
something almost like splendor. There
is also 3 peculiar chamols skin color shat
] have scarcely seen for twelve years.
There are brilliant Bedford cords, still
popular, and others dull and service
able" a word most women hate, but
heed. There are checks, pin-head and
larger, up 70 fifth Of an inch, not often
beyond that, in two shades OF green and
black and red and brown. The utmost,
the most bewildering variety-that is
for outdoor.
Variety still Is the rule for my pretty
lady Of the teacups. is not the tea gown
TO be more than ever the divinity OF
American WOmanhOOd's secret worship?
il would seem so. Never before have
women dressed for women quite as they
will this winter, unless all signs fail.
Tea gowns Of futteging lace enmeshing
satin ribbons, tea gowns Of sheer white
with embroidered flowers, tea gowns Of
cream, bowed and ziEzaged with yellow
or with gold, tea gowns Of shot silk,
flashing different ColOrs 20 the changing
light. Copper shot with blue, green
with orange, wine red with pale mauve.
There are great COllarettes Of lace, aud
swaying ruflles of lace, and lace every
where.
As, for instance, an exclusive design
made carte blanche for great lady
near the Vanderbilt corner 70 peep
81 which is not privilege for the many.
The basis, what little eau be seen Of it,
is a plain creamy white sheer silk. Be
low the knee this is hidden by two euor-
nous founces Of creamy lace. Above
she waist it is hidden again by an enor-
nous lace collarette, sweeping In a
huge arc from shoulder 70 shoulder.
The foundation silk shows again In the
puffy sleeves with their long pendants
OF lace. Such gown needs emphasis.
Here It Is; Pointed epaulets Of black
velvet, collar black, and black, too, the
huge sash ends that fall almost 20 the
floor 10 front. And. By tho way, II a
tea gown looks right 10 front its mission
is fulfilled, The back is most often ex-
pressionless, except OF the grace OF the
Wearer, and falls in simple folds and
unstudied lines
Another, and TO my mind more beau
tlful, in the same lavish OUTFIT has a
iolsin skirt OF shot SILK, almost white
