ter how often they visit the laundry, they come forth fresh and sweet and apparently new. There are ginghams of large plaidS, with faintly woven figures in the pattern, md there arc stripes and pinhcad checks in every color and every combination of color and design. Tho largo plaids arc rather moro in tho madras style but tho finer checks find rather moro favor as a general thing Ono sees windows piled full of lovely ginghams now marked at cents a yard. Some of the fancy patterns in Scotch ginghams arc marked 13 to IS cents. A model gown was of n very largo plaid of green lines over a 1nauvo ground, with shades of mauVc considerably darker in woven in some manner in irregular spots.
 Tho skirt was faced up with linen and cut ill tho flaring shape. The waist was a neat but plain short basque, with n vest of heliotropo velvet. There were collars and cuffs of tho same. Tho sleeves had full upper puffs and quito deep fall of lacc below the cuffs. Across the shoulders back and front was drawn very wide lace, so that it could be drapcd across the bust and left to fall in a cascade to the waist line. The parasol and bonnet were made to match the colors in the gingham, and in this way and by such respectful treatment gingham dress becomes as dainty and pretty a costume as any lady ought to desire for summer.
 Among the dresses for nice every day tho sicilcnne is the incest. It is also very showy for tho price and looks likc the best and richest silks. Tho very light colorS arc preferred. Pearl and French gray, ivory white and silver gray arc all among tho favoritcs. There is also white, with a pale grccnish tingc, which is strikingly beautiful. An elegant gown had the skirt laid in the new backward folds, which arc stately and moro generally becoming than tho godrt or paquin skirts. The waist was plain with q few gathers drawn down to the points front and back. The sleeves were not too large. Across tho shoulders was a drapcry of tho same goods edged with white lace. The chip hat matched the delicate tint of tho sicilienno and was bordcred with a full ruching of lace, and there was a large bow of silver gauge rib bon with cherry cOlorcd stripes.
 For garden parties and fair weather hats there are straw crowns, with brims made of nothing but accordion plaitcd silk mus lin. On the crowns a few or many flowers to match the costume arc placed. The fluted brims resemble tho mot caps some what but arc very airy and dainty. Somo of tho straw hats arc literally covered with flowers, not ono kind or another, but all kinds-violots, lilies of the valley, tulips, roses, and, in short, everything, all Jum- blcd together. The coloring is brilliant and would be impossible if they wcro any thing but Gods own flowers.
 Among tho ncatcst and pretticst of the accessories to woman's GdOrning arc tlU new collars and cuffs. Tho stock collar is not as much worn as it was in cooler days; still it is often seen. Plaid silk, shirrcd to stiff band and with d butterfly bow of silk muslin or drawn worked pineapple cloth, is favOritc. A shirrcd stock of soft silk of somo pleasing color has a turn down collar of white linen abovo it. A stiff stock is made of bluo linen, w":h narrow line of white linen hrmstitchcd on, and this portion is cut out in four parts, and they stand out stilfly. There arc cuffs to
