are drapcd and puffed with many bows of lilac satin ribbon A white silk parasol has five deep ruffles of chiffon, embroidered lightly with lilac silk and has large bunch of lilac baby ribbon tied to the top and another one on the handle The hat Is flat sailor shape, with tulle puffs all around the crown and with two stiff bows made of tulle with lace and ribbon, in the middle, tho whole covered by tulle veil, which crosses in the back and ties in the front in large incroyable bow. Purple silk mitts complete as exquisite toilet as ono can well imagine.
 The other costume was of hunters green faille. The skirt was gored and had fan plaits of hunters green velvet let in, each apex having a velvet bow and rhinestone buckle. There was cutaway jacket, basque shaped in the back, and having full vest front of cream white china silk, with jabot and pierrot frill of the same under close turndown collar. There were two velvet straps across the front to hold tho jacket in place. The large gigot sleeves had quite deep, full ruff1es of the silk at the wrists, and there were two ruffles cut on the straight fulled around the shoulders. The hat was of back ne- opolitan, with green velvet bows and drapery and three black tips. The gloves were light tan, almost cream, and stitched with black. These two gownslnake taste full foils to each other.
 Two more lovely costumes are to go to Saratoga soon. One of them is of quaker drab japan crape. The skirt is plain, but made to look very elaborate by the arrange ment of the trimming. There is band of emerald green velvet ribbon going down the right side and reaching across the foot and then up on the left side in similar way leaving the front breadth plain. Over this and extending out on to tho skirt is 0 rich lacelike passementcrie in mat white silk. There are three rows of this same combination of trimming all around the back of tho skirt at equal distances. The waist is plain and round, having belt of drab moire ribbon. The sleeves are me- dium gigots, and there is a deep pelerine bertha of the dress material trimmed like the skirt, but with the passementerie hang ing from the lower edge. A more elegant and effective gown for dress occasions could hardly be desired.
 The other gown was intended more par ticularly for dancing. It was of pale shrimp pink silk muslin and was trim med with three gathered flounces of fine white oriental lace, headed by Spanish ruffied tops. Between the three lace founces was laid fiat bands of white in sertion The flounces were graduated in width, the bottom. one being the deepest Around the half low neck, to the dress was gathered pinkod out triHsming of pink taffeta of the same shade as tho muslin and from that fell deep btctcllcs of the samo lace, reaching the waist line, where the ends were hidden under crushed belt of taffeta. The sleeves reached cnly to the elbows, but were deeply draped and were finished by Q narrow quilting of taffeta The gloves were pink silk mousquetaircs This same model would be quite as dainty in any other color, and also in pure white did see one in maize, with whito lace and white satin ribbon belt and shoulder knots.
