blues pinks and yellows can be had in
astonishing variety, while the all over
effect of flowers or curious ara besque
patterns or stripes are to be had by any
one who takes the trouble TO select them.
BLACK DOTTED SWISS.
Dotted Swiss muslin is more in favor
than the plain white. Some very pretty
gowns I have seen recently were of black
dotted muslin. the dots being in white

open at the throat. With this was worn

broidery. They are the coolest gowns
that can be worn, for they do not need to
be lined all through. A lcw-necked waist
Of silk Is an excellent thing to wear I'M
der them, for it gives plenty of stall ility
without being intolerably hot.
This dotted Swiss should never be ma de
in coat and skirt, but, instead, have full
skirt, with little very full rufTies or Span

effects are good in this muslin. and

White dotted Swiss was at one time
relegated TO the background. but this sea

! women as much as for the young girls.
Still. the last named have the best of it.
for they can trim their gowns with guam

it was exceedingly becoming and very
chic indeed. 1t was made with a deep
flounce on the lower SKIRT. On the hem of
the fiounce was a putting through which
ran a broad satin ribbon. The upper
skirt fell almost to the hem Of the lower
and was finished with putting and pink
satin ribbon. The waist which was fulled
Il little. over the bust, had three horizon
tai rows of the putting and ribbon, and
I the sleeves were finished at the wrist
with the same trimming. There was a
narrow belt and long ends of the pink
satin ribbon to match, and the collar

JAPANESE GAUzEs
The prettiest thin dresses are the Jap
anese ones. All the, readers of old ro-
mances will remember how the herolnes
always wore pineapple gauzeS at their
| first balls. and the prettiest gauzes are
those imported direct from japan.
One I saw was of white with heno-
trope stripe, and had been brought over
many years ago. It had been laid away
in m cid trunk, whence it was brought
a few weeks since, with lot OF otnsI
