made Into dresses
IN one or Two of the advance designs the
dress is made with the stripes In the skirt
perpendicular and a draped polona1se
wherein all the stripes run bias, l donss
like the plan. Another design showed
the skirt made with a Spanish founce, the
upper part having the stripes around and
the flounce up and down.. Besides, there
are many neat and pleasing designs OF
Fayal linenrlawn. These all are dotted with
printed designs. Some have small clusters
Of from three to six pinhead dots and 9TH
ers have single dots about half ar inch
apart in red, blue or brown, these being,
it seems, the only dyes the natives of Fayal
understand. They are indelible, and there
is no summer goods for every day so satis-
factory. Percale is good and launders we'll.
There will be no pique, dimity or other
goods of that thickness. Ginghams are
exceptionally pretty, and, as a general
rule, the pattern is very small, though
perfect after its kind, where clan plaids
are represented. There are also a large vari-
etysof striped zephyr ginghams of the light
est tints and a few with silk stripes. Some
have lace stripes alternating with stripes
crinkled like ~seersuckers. In short, there
is scarcely any limit. The delicate tints
and colors shown. in these new goods seem
to prove that we are on the eve of a reac-
ton after the astonishing brilliancy OF
color shown these last two seasons.
One very dainty design was a plaid made
of a series of graduated lines in pale blue
and white. Bingham made of the sea is
land cotton is almost as pretty as silk.
Pink and white and yellow and white
were made in the same design, and all
looked SO neat and summary that one for
gets that it is in the dead of winter.
If the materials and designs for next
summer are light and delicate in color,
the ball and evening and also the street
garments balance matters. Deep red of a
ripe tomato color, puppies so vivid as to
appeal to the artistic taste of the italian
women and green's for the daughters Of
Erin, to say nothing of blues and golden
yellows, all are seen at once on the street
in dress coat or blouse. Red MORE in
wide stripes of different shades of that
color is made up for c~eremonious indoor
gowns, and it is trimmed with black lace
and fine beading and sometimes a border
of fur as a finish. Fleur de velours is an
other superb fabric anu makes stately
gowns for matrons. Some of the new
MORE silks nave waved Satin stripes cross
wise of the material, and others have very
heavy cords running across. 1t is impos-
sible to understand how this could be
made, but it is magnificent.
In new woolens one finds some very re-
ined gray calnel's hairs and cashmere sub
lime with raised designs done in black
mohair to represent the heavy titan, matte
and hercules braids. These are woven SO
as to present a regular pattern like the
braid when sewed upon the made garment.
Red cloth and also blue, gray and drab are
all treated in the same way. So one may
have this rich fabric in any preferred color.
The blouse is growing gr~aduallyfless
ssblousy'' and fits closer to the figure; even
in the ''pouched" portion. The one lapel
on the blouse waists and long jackets is
being rather overdonc. Some of the long
skilted Russian frock coats are cut away
in front to show an appearance of a short
jacket Beneath. Some of thchl have vest
fronts and what II might cab guimpe,
