or plain, over changeable silk, with
black picot edge; (baby ribbon) a deep
black lace founce sometimes constitut-
ing the lower skirt, with accordion plait-
ing above. Novelty black grenadines
are striped in green, maroon, old rose or
heliotrope, and plaids showing gay in
termixtures are made up over black,
while bourette grenadines are worn with
variously colored silk underskirts,
trimmed with black lace fouEces, put
on in points, velvet donkey ears being
placed at each point, or it is eq ually
stylish to outline the founce by delicate
jette passementerie. A. black Brussels
net ruching with several rows of colored
baby ribbon run in at both edges is
pretty skirt garniture, with second
ruching at the knee. Waists of all thin
fabrics are made very full, over fitted
silk linings, vsriously ornament by lace.
and shaded velvet belts combining all
colors employed, impart character as
well as style.
TOO MUCH CANNOT BE SAID
in favor OF figured eurahs, India or
striped silks for summer wear, looking
lovely and cool, trimmed with black
lace rufflee falling from colored velvet
folds, several of which may be placed
between the ruffles, and velvet belts to
match. Plated, striped dotted or
chsngeable silk waists are again shown,
and jabot fronts are second only to SUR
plice fronts, which are brought under
the arm to form belt fastening at the
back. Shaded silk waists are go hand
some and expensive, that comparatively
few are seen, and those in plain but
brilliant evening shades are moderated
by white or black lace shoulder trim
mings. Belts closing at the back with
large roEettes or double frils are quite
novelty, at the same time pointed belts
either "wrinkled" or plain are much
worn.
SATIN rs THE PREFERRE MATERIAL
for wedding dresses. although brocads
with satin and lace trimmings ws5 re-
Gently used at a very recherche we'd
ding. Satin variea 40 greatly in price
that comparatively inexpensive dresses
may be had within moderate limits, and
bengaline is a moRt desirable substitute
for satin. Duchesse lace founces put
on in points, outlined with pearl trim
ming are in keeping with first quality
satin, and waists and sleeves are in the
same general style as those for recep-
tion or evening entertainments, lace
ruffies, butterfly sleeves, silver or pearl
passementerie being arranged in any
form of shoulder garniture best suited
to the wearer.
LONG WHITE OR PEARL GLOVES
are most in favor for dress occaaions.

ionable, pique stitching, however. being
more delicate, is sometimes preferred.
Four-button length remains stylish for
street use, and where gloves do not
match the costume perfectly, they
should contrast. Large buttons are still
shown, and shades OF red, green, purple
or tan are very pronounced. The light
tinte are very numerous, in order TO har'
monte with dress fabrics.
OXFORD TIES
are brought out in patent leather, kid,
suide, white canvas, light or dark tan,
! with ribbon bows, beading or Rhine
stone buckles, and will be more gener-
ally worn than any other style. Very
large buttons are noticeable on new fox
patent boots, with cloth or kid taps for
ladies, and as handsome shoes are one
of the first ntials OF good dressing,
the next best thing is to make the partly
worn look like new, and this readily &C.
complished by using the ever popular
renovator Raven Gloes, for ordinary
purposes, but for renewing the brillianoy
of dull patent, calfskin or enameled
leather, nothing is 30 efficacious as
Patentene or Club Polish for
new patent leather. Tan or rus
set shoes are among the seasons
leading styles, and when somewhat
rubbed are no longer thrown away, ss
tanshine removes all soil from whatever
cause, rendering them soft and fresh.
White clover powder gifted into the
stocking prevents endue perspiration,
affording comfort for those with tender
feet. Many styles of fancy slippers in
black patent leather, kid and stylish
light hues, are beaded in self-colors or
in contrast, but as ehoes, hosiery and
costume harmonize, a large proportion
of lightcolored slippers are made to
order.
A GREAT PARTIAL1TY
is again evinced for white tennis and
yachting suits, trimmed with fancy
white, blue, colored or gilt braids, OF
bias satin folds, eeven or nine being the
usual limit. Serge, cashmere, challi OIL
flannel are the most appropriate mate
rails, and while blue suits are stil
shown, marked preference exists fol
! white. Eton jackets are somewhat va
ried by large turn-down collars, quite
low in the neck, which meet the ordi
= nary front revers, and are called double
revers. Jaunty sleeveless jackets are {
very pretty style, the newest vest, how
ever, is the Breton, almost tight-htting
made up of crosswise straps or rows o
braid, contrasting with the material.
