or else is highest at the back, which is
turned up and massed heavily underneath
with flowers. The hats are worn titled
sharp y forward, and the whole effect is
rather top-heavy, though becoming to tall
fine figures.
But they are genuine extinguishers to lit
tie women, who. when topped by one will
seem at a distaIce all head and no body.
COQUETT1SH PARSOLS.
The parasols that are to accompany all
this loveliness are Of many sorts.
Those in plain white, black or colored silks,
covered vita rich laces, are much in favor,
but more frivolous tastes prefer the chiffon
affairs. which. with their hounces and gar
ands Of flowers, are truly identifying trties.
A tiny sunshade illustrated is one OF the
sort that has been In the market for thirty
years, and that is being brought out this
season with renewed honOrs. 1t is of white
silk covered with black honiton and has a
jointed handle, which permits its being
bent at pleasure into a fan. These little
gunshades have long been in favor by rather
.lderly women for carriage use. and they
seem to have the gift Of expressing both
dignity and coquetry.
A fairy one OF white tulla bordered by a
wreath of pink moss rosebuds was sported
yesterday by a blonde girl in a carriage in
The park. Her mamma carried a white one
covered with black lace that gave her an
ldded stateliness, put in the blonde girl
1and the same parasol shape became as
ieadly a weapon as the Spanish lady's fan.
AS to he carriage and garden party frocks
themselves. the Illustrations shown Will
give a few choice designs. These have all
| been copied from late French models and
are realized in some of the materials al
eady discussed. A tambour muslin in the
ieep butter-yeilow shade is combined eff
t~ectively with the French lace and a blouse
# old pink silk embroidered with gold. A
;irdle of velvet in the same tint finishes the
waist; the skirt is gored and trimmed with
| deep founce of the lace, 1neiy knife
1leated, and edged top and bottom with
iuffy quillings of yellow footing.
A STUDY IN BLACK AND WHITE.
A wonderful get-up just seen was all OF
white silk muslin with a narrow girdle and
stock of black velvet ribbon. Above a deer
lem the skirt Of his was laid in wide tuckS
Up TO the waist. The short bodice was q
iimple gathered affair, with tucked sleeves
,hree-quarter length, and of course over the
stock fell the full ruffle, that in some shape
II other now finishes the throat of all dressy
ut door bOdices.
This costume was accompanied by ravisn
ing adjuncts-a parasol and tour de con o
white tulle and a big hat trimmed witt
the same. inese all nau airy cTlInpel rune
edged with black baby velvet, which CAV,
1 becoming tone to the clouds of white.
The hat was of white panama. trimmed
broadly, and underneath the brim a hal
wreath Of white gardenias was masseC
closely around the back.
Fancy such a rig on the right woman: &
melancholy brunette, pale and lovely, aEC
without a ripple in her ink-black hair.
With a gown of pretty colored canvas
wrinkled sleeves and a pleated CAMP of sap
phire-blue mousseline over white silk hal
a novel combination, and with all gowns or
the organdy and muslin order, ribbon sashes
plain, striped and lowered, are in higt
feather.
In their adjustment some of these sashes
will be swathed about the front of a bodice
to give a short-waisted look. The ends are
carried round to a long pointed effect at the
back, and these finished with a grasshoppeI
bow-narrow and upstanding-with long ends
that touch the skirt bottom. Again, the
grasshopper and sash ends will ornament
the waist at the left front, and in this In
stance the short-waisted look will be at tbs
back of the bodice.
The sleeve designs given are some Of the
very latest in the fashion market.
BY and by, perhaps, sleeves will become as
disagreeably small. as they were for q long
time too big, but for the moment their evo-
luton toward that point is showing some de-
lightful phases. Many in the airy textiles
IRE perfect marvels of handiwork. And

now made with a close forearm portion,
many are left unlined for the hot weather.
This for a pretty arm is very fetching, and
ven If the arm is plain it would scarcely
re known, as this portion of the sleeve run
ling to the aforementioned handiwork, tucks
'uffings and shirrings of the most finished
description.
TINY CAPES.
As TO wraps. of course there is no such
things as a midsummer wrap.
A the ornamental neck ruches in black
and color are to take their place wher
needed, the one for a pale gown matching the
parasol in tone and trimming.
A short fluffy cape made of black face
yelling is, however, a novelty that woulC
give a dashing finish to a light gown. The
yelling chosen for the capes is the glazed
sort, all crosses and vague spider webs. A
round yoke is made Of putting slipped ovel
gilt braid or perhaps garlands Of brigh'
flowers will be used instead OF the braid, anC
from this a short plating Of the vel ing will
stand out full as a ballet skirt. At the bus
the cape ties with black velvet ribbon string!
or else has taffeta ones to match the flowers
A curious carriage wrap accompanies &
costume Of pale gray organdy. This is q
sort Of sacque very loose fitting. and with
elaborate sleeves, and is of dim pink iii
