1t also has a double rill around the face,
though the head piece sets close around
the forehead.
Another extremely pretty accessory to
the summer gown is the braided trim
ming, which can be purchased by the
yard. 1t is made of fine braid, sewed or
woven in patterns that look like coarse
lace. OFT is very durable and comes in
all colors. 1t is used for yokes, for
fiounces and especially for setting in the
side of the skirt like a panel. This is the
best of summer trimmings and can be
utilized in many ways, even to hat trim
mings.
The quality of sheerness still continues.
There would seem to be no medium quail
ity. Either the goods are heavy, so heavy
as to need no lining, like duck or piQue,
or heavy linen. or they are transparent.
The transparent goods of this year are
not the X-ray patterns of last year. the
open work canvases and coarse grain
fabrics, but are fine sheer goods that
show the lining like a haze.
White shirt waists now display the I'M
derwaist in very old fashioned style. but
still becomingly. Many of Miss Grants
trOusSeau dresses, which are now being
made in Paris, are so thin as to reQuire
the most elegant corset cover. One of
these waists has a corset cover which
was made for it. The cover or under
waist is IIldue Vi MecIllll ldcc DIS lIlt DIS
a cobweb. The waist itself is 'pineap-
Pile" net, so thin that it is a mere web.
Shirt waists are of all cOlOrs. prefer
ably white. A great wave of popularity
has befallen the all white waist. and you
see whole summer wardrobesc with not a
colored shirt waist. The white waist
comes in white wash silk. in white em-
broidery and lace. in the cheaper white
wash goods. and in all the grades of pique
from heavy to light. One of the most eie-
CANT ladies' tailoring establishments ad-
vised the making of three dozen white
| waists of all fabrics to be worn with
many skirts.
| So many skirts are required this sea-
son that the c~outouriercs have gracious
ly provided for the emergency. They sup
ply a skirt. seamless and ready to be
sewed upon a band. 1t comes all in one
| piece and the seamStreSS has only to sew
it up in the back. open thesides to form
a flap placket, and to put it on the band.
when it will be found ready to wear.
These can be purchased in the shops. and
| you see women of fashion purchasing a
dozen or so skirts to be quickly made at
home by the seamstress, who can make
six or eight a day. There is only one
seam up the back. and d band-no bind
ing. no fitting, no anxiety about the
hanging.
Notwithstanding the rage for all things
| American, tnere is a tremendous amount
of exploring being done. Prosperity sea-
son in the United States has brought
prosperity season to Paris. The trous-
seau of Miss Grant is the most talked
about thing in Paris just now, and the
order which the prince has sent to a
Bond street jeweler is the gossip of the
| American colony.
1t is for a tiara of pearls and diamonds,
such a wonderful thing as was never seen
in the Cantacuzene family before. Miss
Grant, it is rumored, is to bring an m
mense dover to her prince. Surely he
| will not nav to buy silk dresses for her
for many a day to come, for the trous-
seau order that has been placed with one
house alone includes II beautiful silk
gowns. all tight fitting, with sheath skirt
and deliberately trimmed bodices. many
| of them with a tunic. They are in all the
delicate new shades with three of the old
ones. namely, a navy blue, an olive brown
| and an old-fashioned pearl grey.
