tom of the skirt, which hangs free fro
the white surah silk foundation.
The Siciians now being shown have a
MORE pattern upon them and checked In
minute squares. They are best liked In
blue and white and in green and white.
The canvas lrenadine perfectly plain is
said TO make up well over silk when the
skirt is sun pleated and the bodice over
hangs soft waistband; it may be pouched
only in front, but those whose hgures can
stand it should have the pouched effect
both back and front. The yoke must be
made in innumerabie tucks. and vest OF
Maltese or Irish lace is demanded to give
the finishing touch. All the poucheo
bodices now enjoying such great vogue
have small sleeves, with only very
limited number of small pleats at the top,
for the great, ungainly, awkward, baggy
sleeves are things OF the past; but they
reached such nideous proportions before
being banished that we will remember
them yet little while.
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-04
Pique Dresses

Are more popular than was an nticipated.
Several have lately been worn well worthy
of remark. One of these has its bodice
pleated on the cross with seven rows of
guipure insertion. A peculiar feature of
the pleatings is that, although cut on the
cross, they are so arranged as to fall in a
sort of double founce from shoulder to
sewn band of guipure. The remainder
of the bodice is gathered gracefully into
the waist with draped wide corded silk
ribbon.
Extending from the knees down the
skirt is composed of alternate rows OF
Incks and in sertions.
The second dress is extremely simple,
consisting as it does of merely skirt and
smart jacket of the finest grade of pink
pique. Both are smartly cut and made by
goot tailor, and the little vest is of real
Irish lace, made over pink. With this is
worn a great Leghorn hat surrounded
with beautiful pink silk poppies.
Canvas dresses hold their own. One oil
unusual chic is made of a blue and white
open canvas. The bodice may be de.
scribed as crossing bodice" and on il
the selvedges of the material figure con.
! spicuously. The white silk muslin shir
had collar of mauve velvet tucked in a
the corners, the tucks crossing. The skir
had on the hips five tucks and a fold o
the fabric headed the hem. MARcELLA.

The Causouk

Is sort of over-bodice in guipure over
white satin or Brussels. Most of the great
Parisian houses are making their white
gowns with the causouk. These causouks
are extremely useful and dainty, as well
as very practical, for they are made en-
tireIy independent from the rest OF the
costume and may be worn with any blouse
or bodice with which they harmonic.
Any one possessed of any ingenuity after
seeing causouk can evolve one out OF
alternate bands of lace and muslin or
chiffon, and some are transparent while
others again have lining of satin OF
delicate or brilliant hue. Pink and all its
various tones are in great favor, but the
latest shade, known as "paille," is quite
the rage, but really differs but little from
straw color.

We are praying for warm weather ana
an abatement of the wind, so that our
summer girls from the East may have an
opportunity of displaying their pretty
muslin gowns, for we are not content TO
merely read about them; we want to see
them on real, live figures, dancing and
promen aiding around our parlors and
streets in their own pretty, girllsh tashlon.
A pretty street gown is the ambition OF
every woman. A soft gray wool, oottea
with red chenille, is Just the thing to SUIT
the fasudious. The skirt can be mace
with circle front and side, and douple
box.pleat in the back. The lining OF red
silk is separate from the material ana Is
finished plain around the lower edge.
The ripple skirt is scalloped at the bot
tom and trimmed with three rows OF req
silk ribbon pleated. The effect OF this Is
very pretty, as it gives full appearance
10 the bot tom of the skirt. For slender
person tho waist can be bloused all
around, with surplice in front under belt
ofdark grav satin or ribbon with short loops
on the right side. A full cape bretelle OF
the material is scalloped and trimmed to
match the bottom of the skirt. A with
high collar of red fills in the front and
rufie of lace with lace tie finishes the
neck. The sleeves are small leg of NUT
ton with tight lining, the inside seam OF
lining and material being stitched to-
eether, scalloped and trimmed with rib
bon to match the skirt
This is the season for al sorts Of cotton
dress goods, such as pique. batiste, linen
finished grass cloth, etc.; but they are all
so incrusted with guipures, lace and en-
broideries that they completely exclude
the sim mplicity so frequently quoted, but
seldom seen, in dresses for outdoor wear.
The silk and satin striped grass linens are
lovely. They are in dainty coIors in
stripes of various widths, such as brown,
pink, green and lavender.
There are other novelties. still later, in
black and white silk hair-line broken

A vaporous grass cloth is checkered
with fnc white satin lines and striped
with a wide open work of white satin
threads. Other fancy grass cloths are in
self-colored openwork patterns with col
ored silk plaidings.
A bout the greatest novelty in this line
is the dainty scroll figuring in blue, lilac
or black silk embroidered on the grass
cloth, which is material beautifully
adapted for blouses fronts and combina-
tions in general. Then there are the
floral EN- broidered patterns which are,
after all, less chic than the novelties men,
