WOMAN'S WORLD.

Granite grenadine was the material
chosen for very pretty travelling dress
for the mountains. The granite showed
frequently a block Of the solid color either
in gray or black. There was speclk of
red and tiny dot of blue in the goods,
making it greatly resemble Scotch tweed.
Skirts are not getting shorter. On the
contrary they seem to lengthen. for they
now rest several inches on the ground.
And at recent display of street models
to which II had the good fortune to be
invited at a fashionable establishment,
one might almost say that they were in
derai-train.
Rather an innovation in skirt is the
lack of lining. Many of the wool grena-
dimes have no lining at all except facing
Of contrasting material around the foot.
It is said that these are made to be laun-
dered. but it is doubtful if they will ever
be treated so Familiarity. The very fash
ionable five gored skirt is fitted closely
around the hips. Around the foot it is
four and half yards wide:the skirts that
were made narrower in the spring are
now being widened down the entire front
by new breadth twenty-four inches wide
and extending down from the waist to the
ground. The top is fitted with seams close
together There are darts on each hip
The plaits are invisible at the back but
are so laid that the double outside seams
are perfectly fat They widen suddenly
in a fan like manner about eight inches
below the band.
The sheath skirt is one so tightly fitted
that 1t can have only one dart over each
hip These are fitted on the figure as
carefully as the waist is fitted They are
fastened either in the back with elaborate
buttons and loops, or upon each side. Tne
opening is necessarily long one or the
wearer would be unable to shed the skirt.
It is said that four and half yards OF
double width goods will cut sheath
skirt 1t is good thing to purchase a
material that is neither stripe, nor plaid,
as there will be a great deal to waste
otherwise.
For travelling there are many pretty
cuff effects There is one that is made
with a circular ruffle. 1t extends all the
way around the cuff, but is much deeper
at the back. so that pointed ruffle falls
over the hand. Over the ruffle there is a
little turn over cornered cuff which is as
deep as the knuckles. This makes very
pretty finish for the hand.
Now that the summer has come to stay
it is noticed that the prevailing colors are
gray and blue, specially in the checks.
which show a predominence of blue.
Grays come in all shades and of party
of three tourists all were gowned in this
color though not at all alike. One wore
gray check showing blue figure; an
other well dressed in a gray granite; and
the third wore a plain gray cloth
trimmed with bands of purple braid.
The couturieres are furnishing extra
revers with each suit. These come in
pique. duck canvas and crash. They are
easily adjusted to the coat. Half a dozen
fresh revers will greatly add to the ap-
pearance of a suit.
There are many combination travelling
suits Wool grenadine and wool canvas
are worn with foulard. Cloth is used to
trim silk goods and silk goods trim cloth.
Where bands are placed upon the skirt
they are stitched and belt of the same
ma terial is stitched in the same way.
The Jacket suit is still fashionable. A
jacket suit is one consisting of a coat
and skirt, the coat to be worn over
shirt waist of any color. The shirt waists
are of pique, ducks or canvas in white
and all the plaids and varied colors of
wash goods and are Invariably made
with .. little tucking.

A delicate salad, as well as an aesthetic
dish for spring luncheon or supper
party. is what the Parisians call may
onnaise printaniere, says what to Eat"
It appeals to the eye quite as much as to
the taste, and is simple enough to make,
though much of its success depends up
en- the care with which the ingredients
are arranged upon the platter. Cook
separately, in salted. boiling water, into
which pinch of soda has been thrown,
about pint of finely sifted June peas
{the soda preserves the color of green
vegetables): pint, also, of tender spring
beans. These, TO be perfect, should be
very young and fine; if not, cut each
bean lengthwise with a sharp knife.
Have an equal quantity of boiled new
potatoes and beets cut into dice. Place
these on a platter or silver salver, so that
the vegetables will form four color
masses of equal size the red beets and
white potatoes vis-a-vis, with the green
beans and petits pois separating them.
They should form four triangles, meet
ing at the apex. Around this, place
wreath of asparagus tips, each stalk be-
ing three or four inches long, and tiny
hearts of celery. Squeeze over all the
Juice of a lemon and crown it with stiff
mayonnaise. The dressing should not
mask the whole. only occupy disk the
size of saucer, leaving unveiled part of
each vegetable.
< The mayonnaise is made in the classi-
cal Way viz, by stirring a gill of olive
oil drop BY drop at first and little more
literally after it thickens) into the beat
en- yelks OF two eggs finishing with salt
and lemon juice 1t may not be SUPER
fluous to add that this sauce will never
'st1ra'' If the oil has been placed on ice
for some time before using 1t. This
should be served quite cold.
