gives a lighter appearance. But while
| fOunCes and ruftles are so very popular
they are not put upon all gowns by any
means Braiding is still exceedingly fash
ionable, and where the gown trimmed
with braid is in a color most artistic
offoct Is produced by having braid Of two
or more shades Of the same color wrought
| upon 1t. Black braid looks well on every
thing, even the white duck, crash and
| pique suits, and it also shows up richly on
black.
| Very pretty designs inlsoutaohe and 9th
er widths and kinds Of braid are sewed to-
gether all ready for application. There is
| generally one portion prepared Tor the
| front of the blouse or basque and another
| for the front breadths. These vary in size
and olaborateness but are all handsome,
and they are not so very expensive Dainty
| loopings with fastenings and button ball
tassels are made Of white corset tape for
cotton gowns and for the white linen.
Ecru nankeen is among tho new stuffs
for summer suits and eoru ribbed and
| corded cotton. Checked linen Is very hand
| some when suitably made-that Is, when
1t is treated in every way as though of the
finest quality of silk or other expensive
material.
One model of this kind Of gown had
the skirt cut with the front breadth entire
and all the rest out off at the knees with
a rounded corner. To this was sewed a
gathered founce with a piping between.
The waist was in blouse form, with inset
folds Of white linen. Frogs and loops of
white cotton cord held tho checked folds
together over the white ones. There were
q stock and tie Of wash null and medioi
collar Of the linen edged with q fSill Of
Russian lace The sleeves were tight to
the shoulders, where there was a triple
pun. The wrists extended in wide, flaring
cuffs with rufIles of lace on the inside.
This class Of goods is peculiarly adapted
10 this style of development as 1t is solid
and looks like wool or poplin.
The tunio hounoe grows In popularity.
II has graceful sweep that endears 1t to
the heart of woman, for, however wide its
sweep, 1t 10 never cumbersome like the
paquin skirts A rich black rep or whip
cord costume had a tunic skirt, the line of
separation being marked by row Of
beaded pasSemen terie extending all around
except the center back breadth. There
was curious but very Frenchy blouse
worn with it, There was a belt Of baby
blue kid with a silver buckle, holding in
tno Nalhp anu uellnlnB bno DasQue bKlfb.
The wide collar of the black yhipcord had
narrow rufle of baby blue taffeta
There were two square revers, each bor-
dered by blue ruffle and held back by
three silver buttons. The plain coat sleeves
had narrow ruffles of the taifeta at the
wrists. Black and baby blue is combi-
nation often seen in Paris
Ribbon is narrow widths, both satin
and taffeta, and also velvet are used as fiat
trimming on many garments One skirt
bad the tunk completely covered with g
lattioework OF black satin ribbon half an
inch wide over the surface, which was
faionce blue poplin, Another gown of
moss green cashmere sublime had sort
Of ouiraFs front made Of rows Of very dark
green satin ribbon. These were placed
around the hips with a slight dip In front.
Five other rows were sewed In a zigzag
line around the entire waist The front
OF the waist was slightly pouehed, while
She back was In form OF short, round
basque. There was V shaped opening in
front, filed with white satin. The stock
was white satin, and the tie was OF black
lace with rnffied ends. II was very re-
fined gown and tasteful one, much more
20 than one shown at the same place with
mueh more pretension.
