the sum named. Some there were who said
1t was impossible but others were reused

one lady threw down the gauntlet by wager

lutely tight with a neat Petershari
band. This skirt would be particularly
desirable for country wear for, on ac-
count of its peculiar make, it would
look equally well for cycling or tennis
use. When worn by a WheelWoman the
new cycling hat now coming into favor
would be most suitable. This novelty
is made very simple. consisting merely
of knitted Tam-o Sha inter- nlouIfte d

We have the long coat ulster in the
ever useful blue cloth laced with
white. Then there is the short cape
form. These latter show a decided
novelty in being arranged to button
over the shoulders so that they can be
worn in circular form, or open to
admit the arms. These capes have
admirable points and may be used for
driving also. These are the most in
evidence, but they are modified in so
many ways as to practically become
entirely different in style.
Despite the endless variety of ma
terials we are already familiar with,
there are always new ones which find
their way to public favor. Among the
novelties for this season. there are
three which seem to deserve particular
mention. First there is new fabric

kind OF poplin, much thinner than the
ordinary variety, and is to be found
mainly in charming little check pat

being combined with white. 1t offers
itself perSuasively for blouses. The
other two materials are of the gauze
variety. Dalghali crepe is like chiffon,
but infinitely superior to that perish
able article in wearing qualities. and
offering the further advantage of being
cheaper. Then there is the Agra gauze.
This is very soft and silky, and makes
the most delightful frills and fichus
1t promises to be very much worn. and
this indeed applies to all of these new
cOmerS
But with all the furore that exists
for transparent stuffs of every variety,
muslinS will hold their own in popu-
larty. One of the prettiest afternoon
dresses / have seen this season is of
the time-honored spotted variety. 1t is
made over a maize colored foundation
of silk glace, while circling intermin-
ably around the sleeve is cream lace
The muslin of the bodice and skirt has
insertions of lace, and the crush belt
is of green glace silk. Taking it as
whole, nothing could be more charming

are of almost everyday occurrence. but
something really new in the way of

most agreeable surprise. We call it a
flannel petticoat, but it is really not

crepe-like material, quite amenable to

fiounces Of lace. There are three quail

the advantages of the old one, without

shade. Very dark red and equally dark
blue bring out a dark claret, and this
in cloth is exceedingly handsome. Al

it must be of the richest kind, as light
