WHAT TO WEAR.
FOR FASHIONS FAvORITEs.

Much attention Is being paid TO now
city in accentuating gowns with an in
dividuality, there being q wide scope
Of material and trimmings for this pur-
pose.
One of the prettiest phases of skirt
trimming is three rows of satin ribbon
or ribbon velvet, each of a different
color; while in muslin and batiste three |
one-inch tucks above the five-inch hem
is popular.
Crinoline is often now entirely omit
ted from skirts, and when 1t is used a |
very light, thin quality called haircloth |
muslin is chosen. This has body
enough to sustain summer goods, and
weighs much less than the thicker va
riety. M
The large hat is of silk wire frame,
covered with net trimmed with flowers
and straw loops. The pompadour
style of hair obtains with many, but is
especially becoming to the oval face
with low forehead; still, with judi
cious arrangement Of few curling
| locks, 1t can be made becoming to many
faces.
| In all the newest gowns Of wool and
taffeta the dlminution in size Of sleeves
and fullness Of skirts Is very decided,
but in all thin, airy gowns the skirts
are still very full. with ample decora-
ton in the way Of insertions Of lace,
both in the seams and around the bot
tom. or tiny ruffies overlapping each
other.
Valehciennes lace prevails. 1t is usu-
ally narrow, but is used most lavishly,
entire bodices being covered with it
sometimes. On rose or mauve batiste
1t is particularly pleasing. Speaking
of mauve, the present fondness for pur-
pie tones has led to the production Of
some charming toilets Of mauve NOUS
seline de sole.
The silk gown, which has ever been
such a coveted acquisition to ones
wardrobe, on account of Its price and
aristocratic rustic and swish, will lose
much Of its popularity If the new artif-
cial silk, made from wool, proves sue
cess. 1t is now being developed in
Switzerland. and is so nearly like the
product Of the silk worm that only ex-
: perts detect the difference.
Shirt waists this season are quite az
varied in style and trimming as many
, other articles of dress, and come as neal
} perfection, perhaps, as is possible FOL
them to reach. The prettiest Of all arr
