were introduced by Queen Alexander,
whose neck is badly disfgured and is in
yariably concealed either with high col
/, lar or velvet band.
Before the accession to the throne OF
the late Queen Victoria, ladies' gowns
| were worn short. One day, in alighting
| from her carriage. the Queen bruised
her heel and the following day grand
reception was to be held at st. James
Palace. The Queen received with her
foot extended on cushion. covered by
the long skirt of her gown. The English
ladies of the court thought themselves
obliged to lengthen their skirts, and thus
new style entered.
As the seasons deepens the popularity
of tan is evident. 1t comesin every shade
and one can scarcely pick out the pref
tiest. The pongee shade is so much
liked as indeed are the leather tones.
The burnt bread come out again every
year and that curious tone known as
ecru will always be seen. Mode color
and bisque, neither of htem much like
ecru, vet suggesting it, are both to be
observed in new gowns and their trim
mings.
Where cold tone, like tan or its
cousins is seen there muct be a touch
of warmth and nothing can supply this
like red Bright, brilliant red, red in its
most vivid, most lurid tones is seen and
there is no substitute for it. Orange
is too CONSPICUOUS and green is not
warm enough 1t is red with ecru every
time.
The sash will figure on many of the
picturesque frocks this summer. and
especially perhaps this trimmed and bor-
dered sash of Louis Quinze and Louis
Seize inspiration.
For frocks of spotted muslin and en-
broidered, lawn one wants the simpler
sort of Louis Quinke ribbon wound sew
eral times round the waist, to eulminate
in a coquettish bow and long tasseled
ends. But the sash of the more sophisti-
and more manoeuvered.
One might say that delicate color eff
fects and gauziness are the characters
tics of the evening frocks at the moment,
and, where dance froeks are concerned,
shortening of the train.
Very smart goods, which the dealers
call cotton canvas, will take the place
of ginghams and bastistes. This fabric
is very coarse and heavy, being the fac
smile of hop-sacking. 1t comes in all
colors. and all the chic pieces have a
touch ow black. For dressy wear these
frocks will be trimmed with embroidery
that comes with each pattern of goods.
1t is very heavy and rich, but will ad-
mirably suit the gown it must adorn.
The embroidery of itself is coarse cream
linen, on which are worked large colored
figures. If adopted in warm climates, this
canvas may be fashioned withiut lining,
thus taking away some of the weight.
pretty fancy in jewelry of English de-
sign is, among other pieees( chatelaine
watch showing the little timepiece hang
ing from delicate chains of brilliants.
The watch has a proportionately large
dial and rim like cable and is sus-
pended from double chains from the
bowknot pins. Half way down cross-
piece of brilliants separates the chains
about an inch and a half apart, but they
swing together again at the bowknot
and ring Of the watch
A necklet consisting of trefoils of
pearls, depending at intervals from
gold braidlike chain, is finished with
two pendants in the form of diamond
drops.
A graceful frock is of turquoise blue
cambric elaborated with a design of the
most diminutive leaves and forming a
trelliswork all down the front of the
skirt, while at either side its points are
edged with rufflings of Valencennes lace,
and the skirt is further trimmed with
stripes formed by diamond-shaped me-
dallions of the embroidery and lace. The
deep collar of white lawn and lace is
| fastened with smartly knotted tie of
white silk embroidered with spots of
| blue.
The hat to be worn with this frock
is a picturesque affair in black straw
with long scar of pale blue satin drawn
round the crown and tied at the back in
bow whose ends fall to the waist, while
curving under the wide brim at the left
side is one pure white ostrich feather.
