the sheer material of the skirt proper may

Petticoats are not as full as dress skirts,
but are from 81 to yards in circumfer

coat is not so generally adopted as was an
ticipated and is seldom used except under
lawn or dimity gowns. Petticoats of white
silk are worn, however, with light or
white costumes.
Skirts touch the ground all around,
even in front, and at the back they drag a
little. 1t is to be hoped that this is simply
a temporary alteration, not a definite
tendency of fashion, for it is most untidy
and inconvenient for the street, although
pretty for the house.
The illustration shows a group Of new
lingerie of fine white nainsook. The night
dress shows n novelty in the way of square
sleeve caps surrounded by rufiles of en-
broidery. There are square embroidered
cuffs, also ruffied, and standing collar of
embroidery, also finished by ruf1lo. The

The Negro Need Not COMPLAIN ANY
Longer of Black Skin,

This preparation, if used as directed

mulattoes perfectly white. 1t also re-
moves wrinkles and Freckles from the
face and makes the skin beautiful.
Any person using it can see the result
in forty-eight hours.
1t does not turn the skin in spots
but bleaches out white. 1t is q very
good thing for weak eyes if allowed to
get in the eye while washing the face
One box of this powder is all that is
required, If used as directed, the skin
remaining beautiful without continual
use, and is perfectly harmless.

They Are Very Fashionable and Very
Richly Trimmed.
Silk goods-taffeta, benRaline, satin and
broche silk-predominate for nice summer
gowns and are ornamented, for the most
part, with applications of lace and guipure.
These applications have tho mesh cut en-
tirely away, and many fine old laces are
thus remorselessly sacrificed ON the altar
of a temporary fashion The result is very
rich and beautiful, but no more attractive
than the lace in its original condition If
it is of superior quality in the first place.
Cheap laces gain naturally by being cut
away and embroidered. Many novel effects
are produced by this process, colored silks,
metal cords beads and spangles being Of
ten added. Flowers, leaves, garlands and
Louis Quinze knots are among the favor
lite designs
Mousseline de sole and embroidered wolfe
compose some charming gowns also
There is always an indeiinable attraction

rhe chinaman Cot ! plaos.

Visitors to the late Lord Playfair's beau
tiful house in Onslow gardens may have
noticed an engraving of the opening Of
the 1851 exhibition after Selous picture.
All the eminent men who faced the dais
on that memorable 1st of May are now
gone. Lord Playfair, who to his many
other accomplishments added that of an
excellent racOnteur, had many entertain
ing ana to relate of that time None was
more amusing than that which concerned
the Chinaman who figures very largely in
the picture, as he actually did in the cere-
mony. Playfair had the ordering of the
procession to the dais- He told the prince
Consort that a beautifully robed Chinese
had appeared, quite at ease, among the d.
plomatists, who had no place in the pro-
granIme. "Never mind. Give him q good
one" said the prince. He walked between
the archbishop of Canterbury and the
Duke of Wellington and bore himself we'll.
On subsequent inquiry he proved to be a
man who took the shillings at the Chinese
junk then moored for exhibition In the
Thames - Westminster Gazette.

binary walking gown CATERS, like mans,
of black, tan, mastic or blue cloth or of
white duck, may be worn.
The fashion of long CATERS, with low
shoes, for bicycle wear seems TO be dimin-
ishing. Tho bicycle boot is adopted in
stead, which, although it may seem TO be
neater, leaves the ankle far less freedom
for pedaling. Many women now ride
without either long CATERS or bicycle
boots, using simply the low shoe and stock
ings to match the gown or black The
gaiter looks better, however, with a short
skirt
The picture shows bicycle suit of beige
mixed wool goods. The bloomers are full
and are surmounted by short coat with
revers of white cloth. A white pique
shirt waist is worn and a hat of beige
straw with chestnut band and quilts
Heavy beige wool hose and tan sandals
accompany the costume.

bodices, double breasted or with n military
plastron, and all sorts of boleros and eton
jackets, to be worn over a blouse of silk,
linen or cotton. In colors, dark blue,
dark green, tobacco and golden brown are
seen; also gray, beige and mixed wool
There are several forms of long travel
ing cloaks, so that everybody may be suit
ed in making "a selection. The tight red
ingote is fashionable, but perhaps less
convenient than the looser mantle, straight
in front and close or with a vatican fold
at the back. Easier yet are the Mother
Hubbard cloaks, dropping from yoke,
but these are rather suggestive of a baby S
or invalid attire. For material mastic,
beige or suede cloth of light quality is
used, or taffeta in changeable tints, or SUI
rah. There are also Louis Quinze mantles
and cloaks with one or more pelerines
a curious color combination is found
In the hat illustrated. The form is of
light beaver silk straw, and it is lavishly
draped with bluet gauze, which makes a
large chou at the left side of the crown.
A small cluster of bluets is placed az the
right side, while on the left is a large mass
of the same flowers, in the midst Of which
is bunch Of cherries with foliage.
