There are soZAe felt sailor shapes, and
they have q plain velvet band around the
crown and a bunch Of some kind Of ma
terial like dotted velvet or some other
heavy stuff, and that is all the trimming
The bunch is generally set rather far for
ward on the lefa side.
The ugly Ladysmith hats are here In
every possible shade and color in soft
felt. No kind Of trimming can make
these pretty, but they seem to have taken
with the women. The shapes for all 9TH
er hats seem to be large and mostly on
the poke form. with some slight varia-
lions. ..., 1885,. .
Toques are larger than they really
ought to be, when one remembers that
every woman considers that IL she wears
Z bonnet she ought not to be expected to
take it off In the theater, and it is as hard
to see over one Of these az it used to be
over the hats. l say used, to be. for the
present shapes Of hats are worse than
any that have ever come under my
knowledge, and the aggravating thing 10
that with the rolls and built up scafold-
ing Of lace and malines the hats are so
uniformly big there is no way Of seeing
around them, above or between the trim
mings az we once could do.
A very pretty toque was among the
things l saw, and this was built Of pink
gauze ribbon and black lace all twisted
and twined together, and directly upon
the crown there was bunch Of black lace
and pink roses. There were no strings.
Now let US talk about the dainty lacy
things with which all feminine minds are
now occupied. There was dress Of fine
brussels net maze plain to the knees, and
from there it had an applique OF Irish
point in rather 64Se design, This reach
cd to the bottom and there was a bolero
Of the same at the waist. Beginning at
the throat, there was trimming of RIB
bons In bunchss, each fastened to the
next one by two: lines! Of the ribbon; and
the punches eAeh had from six to. ten
rows Of narrow ribbon. The dress was
white and the hee butter, color, and the
ribbon was VIVA. The sleeves were long
and had cuffs q the lace, and there were
caps to the sleeves, also Of the Lace
So many things can Be done with this
lace that one could not begin to tell the
hail. ;Yokes, guimpes, collars and no end
Of separate pipnes, besides dounces, all
are seen. and the number Of pretty
boleros and 6saEos and fchus are legion.
They all serve to 'beautify anything on
which they are put.
There is a Waist of crossbarred or
candle In a delicate shade Of lilac, with
white bars, and the lace Is wrought into
vandyke points all around the neck like
4 guimpe and also added to the sleeves
rangement for young figure.
effect on a dress for summer Is shown
T. 49, fu
all around the skirt and on the waist in
material, which IL, in this instance khaki
Part of the skirt is laid In plaits, but
the rest is straight, and the straight por-
ton is where the lace Is applied, and that
is put on In q struggling pattern. The
folds ii, the skirt reach only to the knees,
and all the rest is plain. The sleeves
and the figaro are also tucked, and the
lace, like the trail of the serpent, is over
it all.
A novel Arrangement Of lace is seen in
the organdie gown, and this is the first
time this season this kind of lace has
been used. 1t n fine vdlenciennes and is
so arranged as to make a yoke, and the
puffs on the sleeves make the new under
sleeve. The dress itself has nothing very
remarkable abaalt it save the arrange
meat of the narrow ribbon on the skirt
ind waist. This Is the narrowest width
there is. and it is scarcely wider than
cord: but, beins black. it shows very
prominently in the wavy lines. The
skirt to this dx=ss Is laid in small box
p1aits all around, and tho waist is made
!, the same way. and it makes a pretty
summer gown. The colors IN this are
pale green and garnet figures.
