Ladies' Costumes.
Summer models this season give the

they are lavishly trimmed. The fr:lls
and furbelows are laid on in masses, so
that they do not offend our artistic
sense
Favorite frocks for general summer
wear Will be of black taffeta, trimmed
with bias folds, set on at equal dis
tances, all about the skirt and bodice.
a small Botticelli decolletage, with sew
eral guimpes, both silk and muslin, a
bright girdle and a bright silk lining,
will complete this with distinction,
perhaps double frill of lace and taffeta
crossing the bodice down one side. The
bodice will, of course, blouse scantily
all about.
Blouse waists of white satin are to
be the smartest in a large wardrobe of
fashionable waists and shirts. Built
with tucked yoke, and tucked sleeves,
having a small pouch atop, stock of
satin or of lace will be worn, and rib

They will be fashioned again with en-
circling shingles, and a stock of bright
taffeta tied in front, or will be very
full and shirred across the bust, and

tiny Fuckers.
Some of the prettiest summer frocks
will be of embroidered French lawn,
the skirt in Victorian fiounces of va
rious arrangements. The bodices will
be OF lawn muslin, laid in lingerie

rated sparsely with applique motifs of
embroidered lawn. Elbow sleeves with
ruffled shoulders and around, chOkerless
neck, will be mOdish, If ones throat and
forearm can stand SO trying fashion.
CoIored muslins and lawns, cash
meres and crepe de chimes come in pat
tern sets, the skirts having borders and
bands about the knees and hips, the
| bodices having empiecements in va
rious yoke and bolerO effects, the
sleeves being very small gigots of the
