way up the waist, and from these puflings
of ivory silk muslin and lace insertion
reach to the neck. The collar is formed of
rich cheney ribbon, and there is belt of
the same tied in front, with upright bows
and falling ends. The caps to the sleeves
and a simulated jacket are of white lace.

necessities for warm afternoons on the pi-
azzas and to wear on the grand dress pa
rade of drives toward evening.
Among the smaller novelties of the late
days | may mention the hand painted rib
bons and satins. Naturally these are for
the decoration of palmer garments. There
are, however, whole skirts painted in great
sprawling flowers, though in very artistic
colorings. In many Of the silks and rib
bons there are pompadOur effects wrought
by the cunning of the wcarer but some
clover little artists paint the same style Of

Some of the hlmiest and finest of the
