only to add to its popularity. most
fetching toilet worn by a fair Californian

the other day. She afterward sauntered
across the lawn the observed of all OBJ
servers. Her gown was of India silk. the
new shade of blue, quite light with large
pattern in white. scroll-like effect, the ends
finished by mass of nebuOus dots. The
overskirt coming to the knee gives two

straight rows of lace and ribbon, the same
reproduced on bottom of skirt. The bodice
a round waist and founces front and back.
with wide band of canvas lace, beginning
just below the collar, leaving a little spot
of ciel blue, just under the chin. A clever
ruse on the part of the designing French
woman who fashioned it to show off the
matchess complexion that in this country
only San Francisco can produce. All this

lace in scallops is put on in bolero fashion,

The numerous departures from plain red
masquerade in queer names, and lobster.
, lObelia, senorita and tomato are only few
Of these. Old-fashiOned magenta by the way,
is included in the new-fangled shades above
mentioned, and is chiefly seen on headgear.
Il may be as well to add here that only the
possessor Of a fine complexion and face as
we'll can afford to wear the magenta unre-
lieved by a dash of American beauty, that
charming shade made fashionable by Lillian
Russell The brunette who thinks she can
afford to disregard such petty detail will
do well to foreswear these rich tints or she
will find to her dismay that they have only
made her darkness visible, and the clear
