NEW YORK, July 10.-The campaign OF
summer dress is at last fully arranged for
the season, and fashions have settled
down into their place, leaving no uncer-
tainty as to what is or what is not to be
worn for as least two or three whole
months. There are some slight changes,
and will be some fresh developments from
time 10 time. but these are all matters or
detail which do not affect the general
plan OF modes.
This is an exceptional. season in many
respects. since mat@mis and designs are
more varied and numerous than ever be-
fore. and furnish no end of susges tons
for the exercise of Individual taste. espe-
cially In all minor points of decoration,
which give the GROWING finish 10 any
well-thought-out costume.
In all the infinite variety of dress mate
rails used for summer gowns, silk can
vas and grenadines are perhaps the most
fashionable, and most expensive, TOO, since
a silk lining of good quality is positive
necessity with these transparent fabrics.
But wool canvas and mohairs are quite
as good style: and then there are baustes
galore, and an endless diversity of cotton
materials adapted to the most limited
purse.
Foulards. too. are added to the list or
eilks this season, much 10 the delight OF
all those who can afford any sort Of a
silk gown. as they are so effective in pat

them style. and are so cool and pleasant

vest OF nnely-plaitcd mousseline de sole

success of this sort of gown. and a no.

The Outward Tide.

edith Rutter, in the London News)
They took her birds away because they
sang:
Her Kittens bell; and then they gather'd
round.
But, through the window still the music
rang
or many waves. in melodies Of sound.
They saw her pictures smile about the
room
The faces she had painted into life;
The oaken bureau in the crimsoned gloom
with its wrought stores to grace her
when wife.
And he who loved her watched the al
tered face,
That did not flush nor dimple at his
touch;
Whilst Gods red sunrise filed the sacred
place,
And lit the once proud head that droops
so much.
Dim thoughts like these rose to the rain
bow sky:
1.-THE years have made US one in heart
and mind;
I shall be wanting her until I die
And seeking always what L cannot find"
The waves tapped lightly on the shingled
shore,
And tossed the tinted shells and weeds
about
Then, with a swelling song, washed back
once more,
And, with the tide, little life went out.

satin, which is the distinctive feature OF
so many new summer gowns. Tulle ana
chiffon are permissible on one gown, so
the vest may be of the chiffon, lavishly
trimmed with yellow lace. Tulle ruchcs
are a pretty skirt trimming for light,
dressy gowns.
The new crepe de chine Is decidedly the
very latest dress material in Paris, and II
resembles crepon in its crinkied surface,
thickness and weight. but has all the
lustre and softness of the old-fashioned
article. Cornfower blue. bright red. and
all the shades of gray seem TO be favo-
rite colors, and skirts of these dresses are
made in the new way-not so full, shirred
in around the hips over separate SILK
lining with less fulness than the outer
skirt and made separate at the bottom
Embroidered lawn traced with goid
thread is the usual trimming, and glace
silk is used for the wide-folded belt, which
extends almost 10 the bust. Black silk Is
effective for this purpose, and short
basques of the crepe sometimes fall below
The wrinkled sleeve, fitting the arm close

or three not very wide ruches at the top

chine dress.
And II is only a question Of very little
time when this small compromise between
balloons and coat sleeves will disappear
altogether. That sleeves are small, skirts
still full, but gradually decreasing in size,

There are, however, other reasons Tor
considering this octave as the earliest edi-

ranged from those in subsequent edi-

and unlike that OF the quartos, and the
proofs have been carelessly revised.

The "tyrancs head" IS Of course
