One Of the prettiest gowns ever worn
at Newport was received for Miss Van
derbilt from Paris, and here is it's de-
scription: The dress was blue and white
organdie stripe, the skirt being gath
cred almost straight around, there be-
ing but the two front cores. The waist
was a plain French gathered one. There
was a wide violet ribbon belt. with
two loops and two long ends on each
side of the belt. The sleeves We're cut
on the cross and hung perfectly loose,
being plated in at the shoulder. Three
rows of insertion were set in at inter-
vals and the loose bottoms We're fin
iShed with a fall of three-!nch real
valenciennes. There was a deep yoke
collar of fine batiSte, with rows of
valenciennes insertion set in over pale
blue ribbon. A wide ruffie of real val
encienneS surrounded the collar. There
was a draped stock of the batiSte made
over a violet ribbon band. This min
Cling of blue and violet is an unusual
combina ton, but it proved to be pleas
ing and refined.
Another very lovely gown for late
summer came over in the same ship.
This was of pink taffeta, printed with
small sprays of blue flowers with thin
green leaves. The skirt was full and
had two rows of black lace insertion
The waist was full and had rows of
white silk muslin placed upon ii, reach
ing from the top of the collar to the
belt. Each of these was bordered with
a narrow line of black lace. There
were ruff1es to the puffed elbow sleeves,
of white silk muslin, with two rows
of the black lace insertion. AS fin
ishing touches there were a pink rib
bon belt and pink ribbon roSetteS at
the sides of the collar.
The most of the novelties shown this
week are fancies in lawn and batlste
sailor collars, with designs in Irish
r1y- hoy
the hemstitched edge, though few
have notched or worked edges. There
are numbers of new and pretty designs
with lace insertions and wide hens,
ety, all dainty and dresSy. Among the
laceS there are new patterns in white
and butter colors, includinb point de
paris, valencienneS, brugeS and point
de venise. The new veilings show sew
eral novelties, among them being net
wells with chenille dots and figures.
There is a black and white effect called
magpie wrought on chiffon and sew
ing silk grounds.
l saw in an importer S yesterday some
robe patterns in all wool challieS.
These were so designed and printed as
to allow the waist portion and upper
part of the skirt in plain solid color,
some dark red, others brown or blue.
The skirt from the knees down was
printed in a regular cashmere pattern,
with all the Interviewing of color seen
In the ShaWlS. ram lSdl designs ap-
peared to be the favorite. These robe
dresses will probably be made princess
shape, with possibly a vatican down
the back. There were also shown sew
eral designs in camel's hair, where the
surface was lightly Strewn with long
glistening white hairs. Some others
had designs in Greek key pattern out
lined around the bottom in knotted
wool thrown up above the surface.
I am told that organdie will be one
of the dancing dress materials for the
coming season. 1t is simple and dain-
ty. and with the addition of lace and
ribbons will be very suitable for the
Young. Covert cloths are to be made
UP with the applique facings and trim
mings of boucle cloth generally in
the same color, but sometimes black.
The new boucle goods for fall and WIN
ter are beginning to arrive at the
large importing houses, and the pieces
show up far richer than the samples
which I saw some months ago and
then described.
A furrier told me that he felt sure
that the liking for astrakhan and Per-
sian lamb would be general, and that
every imaginable. garment would be
made of it this fall. Black Alaska Sa-
BILE, otherwise skunk skin, would be
used to trim the lamb and astrakhan
as we'll as the most of the cloaks and
coats. Pointed and dyed beaver is also
to be fashionable as a trimming, and
will be seen as deep shawl collars on
| such garments as will admit of them.
Seal will be dearer than ever, and con-
| seQuently more desirable. She who
| has a garment of that lovely fur may
| feel happy. MATE LEROY. +.
