some of them very swell and stylish. Some of them are to wear with under waists of different material and others are made of the same. One of the pretti- est conceits in this style was where the gown itself was made of navy B, B. serge. The Eton jacket and gigot sleeves were made of cadet gray cloth. It had two lines of self covered buttons in graduated sizes, four on each side, and beginning at the shoulder to end at the bottom. There were two rows of flnc soutache all around the edge and tho standing collar. The fronts were made to button, or to hang open, or to fold back like reycrs It was altogether stylish design. Around the bottom of the skirt was Il band of the gray cloth edged with black soutaohe. The band was four inches wide.
 A very dainty and girlish bodice was waist gathered very full in front and back and the fullness all brought in to tho bot tom of the waist in front and back, leav- ing the sides smooth as they wero cut princess shape There was double bow of ribbon at the throat the two lower ones setting out to the shoulders From under this two ends crossed tho bust in figaro shape and went plainly around the back di- rectly across it, as though it was real figaro. From the left side seam there was brought forward drapery made of three rows of ribbon sewcd together, ending little to the right side under loops and ends of ribbon. This trimming can be adapted to almost any waist and can be separated so us to be added to any gown at short notice. Such a trimming would Do suitable and pretty for any of the light woolens, figured or plain, or the pretty cot ton goods of the season. It is dressy caprice. Velvet always looks well as an accessory over any kind of waist
 A novelty in velvet additional corsage was cut like cutaway baSque reaching only to the waist line. The upper portion was cut away as though for q guimpe and piped with black silk, Tn front there was q large dropping bow of the velvet, and drapery of the same around the neck ended in a sailor knot There was fril of lace around the bottom, and a jabot in the opening of the waist This is mado to slip on over any kind of plain waist and is very novel and affective. It tones down high colored dress and gives brightness to a dull colored one, and it is particularly rich over white
 There are several novelties in sleeves to summer gowns. I notice a number of el bow sleeves and what WIG used to call bell sleeves, but these have so evidently been specially ordered on account of the heat, and possibly because the wearer has dain- ty wrists, that think they could hardly be called style. But the others seem to mo to have better claim to the name of new styles. There is the now Duse, which has stiff turned up cuff covered with vel vet or embroidery, and one was made so that tho material in the sleeve dropped over the elbow and saggcd deeply, whilo 1.I, down in straight lines. Tho upper part is much narrower than the lower portion The new leg O mutton sleeve is not so largo as it was, and the wrist and forearm arc as narrow us they can be. Some have queer little rosettes of silk or ribbon set on the shoulder and also on the bend of the elbow. A more graceful sleeve is made of silk having the upper part in one loose but not very large puff, and a band of vel
