and I've been ten years searching
drawing rooms far and near for this
rara avis, but in vain.
In preparing synopsis of my bellies
days doings in the matter of clothes I
selected the latest seasonable togs. For
instance, French gingham and cham
bray are for breakfasting. The rich girl
buys the quality as fine as silk and al
most as expensive, ranging in price
from IS to 60 cents a yard. The girl OF
modest means will find facsimile pat
terms in a cheaper grade, costing her in
the neighborhood of 16 cents, or as lit
tie perhaps as 10 cents. Her sash and
kerchief of linen lawn will be beautified
BY yeining. Cotton duck is an excel
lent substitute for colored linen and
may be had in the newest shades, both
plain and figured, from 1914 cents to %
cents yard An all over lace frock is

begin at the swell of the bust and fall
toward the belt, describing square ends.
Upon many of the imported models this

blouses. Their wearing also displays a
pretty affectation of mannishness in
braces OF velvet and satin ribbon. I'm
less it be sash little ribbon trails on
the skirts of to-day, but bodices are
dotted with rosettes like posies.
Last, but not least, party frocks are
to be considered. These may be less
elaborate than the carriage or dinner
frock, and in Powered organdie are ire
6istibly fetching. A quaint conceit find
ing much favor is to wear natural bios
SONS to correspond with the design of
the frock. For instance, yellow roses
are scattered over the organdie; then
yellow roses are thrust in the belt and
worn in the hair. French organdie sells
for so cents and domestic at Is cents a

former. Diaphanous cloths of finest
