certainly will not. Clocks, too, are
again in favor. and very pretty some
of them are, pretty enough to please
anybody. The designs are much more
elaborate than those we used to wear,
and they are to be had in white and
colorS on black, and also in combina-
tionS of colors. Ribbed effects in
black alternated with colors, and III
some cases combined with embroidery,
are also to be had.
In fact all the new hosiery is love-
ly, Scotch plaids in Isle and silk mix
lures being especially attractive. Then
there are some with wide silk stripes
with small sprigs, flowers and other
devices between the stripes. Plain
boot patterns with artistically COM
hlned colors for the uppers are also
very desirable. Another of the new
patterns shows medallions filled with
flowers embroidered all over the stock
ing, boot as we'll as leg.
A genuine novelty in gloves is a
novelty indeed, but here is one. They
consist of white, black or cream
suede, fastening with four buttons on
the suede portion and scalloped at the
edges. But to the kid are attached
| almlets. beautifully embroidered in
SILK cord net, the designs being appli-
que butterflies in the kid ornamental
ly outlined with the cord. The net IS
worked as a scallOp at the top and
drawn in to the size of the arm with
q satin ribbon. The black display
cream embroidery, and they are most
| ornamental. The junction of the net
| and the kid is defined with a silk cable,
| repeated on the back of the hand, and
an additional button to fasten the
| wrist is introduced on the lace.
A Strikingly original use of the en-
! hrOidered vest made the success of a
| biscuit cOlored linen gown I saw the
| other day. The skirt was wrought
| Is.e1I fl,A
| sprays of white braiding and cording
! the material being sufficiently heavy
| to hang we'll and to show the en-
b1oidery to good advantage. A short
! tight fitting coat was drawn down
| closely into the waist at the back, and
! also braided and corded with white
| The coat opened slightly in front and
| had wide reVerS, one faced with tuck
| ed white muslin and narrow Valen~
| ciennes, the other braided and corded
with white. Then there was chemi-
! settle of finely tucked white silk mus
| lin, and a vest which really. so to
speak, made the costume. This was
| of fine red cloth, richly embroidered
| in Oriental fashion in silver and gold,
blue and yellow. 1t fitted the figure
tightly and was drawn down under a
folded Wastband of black satin ribbon.
The contrast in color and style be-
| tween the vest and the rest of the
gown combined to make most effec-
tive whole.
I hear that the Russian blouse or
moujik is to be much Worn during the
late summer season. One made for
| dressy occasions is of white cashmere,
to be worn over a skirt of the same.
The coat part has long insertions Of
guipure lace, deep cream in color. let
in at intervals all round, and lined
with pale green glace silk which
shows through. The collar has similar
decorations, and in front is a pretty
