The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1898-05-18

Covert cloth, poplins and Bedford
cords are shown In great variety for
the indispensable tailor made suit.
Piquets, marseilles, lawns and linens
will be much worn this summer for
morning gowns, as we'll as at the
watering places.
A very pretty and fashionable de-
sign in table linen is the shamrock.
1t is used on napkins, and promises
to become popular.
Persian mauve, pale almond or tan
color are effectively combined on new
Paris evening gowns and tailor cos
tunes for special wear.
Satin royal and very elegant quail
tiles OF peau de sole are handsomely
made up together in imported wedding
toilets for spring and early summer.
A fashionable summer gown is of
golden brown dimity with insertion
of brown and white running up each
seam and at the top of the lower
fiounce.
A swell Ascot tie designed exclu-
sively for women is on the market. 1t
is made Of bias striped satin, in colors
SO gay that they put the most modish
hosiery to shame.
The braided black straw plateau
bent into turban shape, high at one
side and the brim finished with large
jet catashuns, is another of the pretty
designs in walking hats.
All the buttons are on the jeweled
order, with the exception of those in
| jet and gold, and these have the ef-
feet of onyx and are not like what are
generally known as jet buttons.
This season the wood colors and
grays are the principal colors, and the
wood colors are smarter than the
grays, for the last named were worn
all last summer, it will be remem-
bered
A pretty morning hat is q black
sailor of rough straw with band of
burnt orange satin ribbon, which fin
ishes in spiral of the same. Three
black spangled quilts complete the
trimming.
A hat that milliners say will be
much worn is of green soft silk, q
number of puff rutiies forming the
crown and brim, and trimmed at the
side with spiral puff and large
white aigrette.
There is great variety in hats, the
new Alpine being among the ones that
have been favorably received already.
1t is gray, with wide ribbon and band,
finished in the left side with a bunch
of long cock feathers.
Buckles and fancy buttons are
among the new things on gowns. The
buckles may not buckle and the but
tons may not be used to fasten the
waist, but they must needs be worn in
order to give the proper smart finish
to any gown.
Yellow lace for trimming white
fabrics will be much in favor, but
there is great variety in the shades
chosen. Faille and light tones pre-
fail over the yellows with the dash Of
pink which was 80 popular few sea
sons ago. The combination of whit.
and straw colored lace is used not only
for gowns, but also for blouse bodices

rails for summer gowns is bewilderint
in extent as well as color, and among
lace grenadines, canvas orgaudies
: mohair Swiss, the various pineappl,
weaves and lace zephyrs, it is Difficult
to choose. The silk and wool baregel
are very sheer and thin this season
and the new nuns veilings are a
cobwebby as possible.
