NEW YORK. AN ECONOMICAL WOMAN. Snecinl Correspandenece of The Tritmme. New York, June 97.— 1y “ladies who feel that they could afford the lotel exnenses ot a summer tour are deharred this pleasure and Dbenefit becanse their wardrobe is inadequate to 6ill the requirements of a fashionable resort, and because of the expense of providing o suitable one. A fricnd of mine, afflicted with a slender-outfit and a slenderer purse, has bravely overcome this apparently insuperable obstacle, and the way she did it ana what her tastefai toilettes arc ik, may be of sugzestive interest 10 ladies in a similar dilemma. As her journey came first in order her traveling Ircss was first areanged. A wellwomn but unmafmed. brown silks, which bad already doncsignal service, was called upon to lend its aid, and thus an underskit was obtatned. A pretty batiste of a delicate nut-brown stripe alternating with n lace stripe of ecru supplied the overdress and becoming Breton basque; for trimming, loops of hrown'ribbon and buttons of carved brown wood in sequme. The hat, o stylish brown straw of the popular * Danicheft”® shape, was trimmned with folds of brown silk (originaily a portion of the overdress belonging to the silk skirt—but this is strietly sub-rosa), a full fan- shaped bow at the left, from which arose fully ercct a shaded brown wing. Gauntlets o browy lisle thread, the cuffs prettily embroi- dered in dark and light brown, an immaculate set of linzerie, a pretty ccru-colored linen handkerchief with brown silk bor- der—viola, a tasteful, - stylish, and most becoming traveling dress; total cost, $7.50. Four dainty fleured linen lawns, at an individ- ual cost. of $1.80, supplicd four charming morn- ing dresses. One a white ground, strewn with pale lilac-hued blossoms, Was trimmed with Zathered flounces, cach edeed with_borderings of a pretty desiem in' lavender. This dress, made with polonaise, closed down the front with bows of plain-colored lavender lawn, and similar bows ornamented pocket and sletves. The second dress, a very sheer lawn, had o pale French gray ground, with broken iines of deli- eate rose and cardinal, a most beautiful favric. Pleated ruilles. threc in number, edzed theskirt, each ruflle beiog itself edged with Valenciennes lace, rare. rich, and yellow, the Jatter undoubt- edly the result of age, as it bad adorned re- spectively two cider sisters before my friend fell heir to it. An overdress having the front breadth laid in upturned plents, tae side breadths straieht-gored and smooth, bad the back cut in two deep, slender points coming to- sether only at the belt. This ovendress, around the bottom and up both sides of the back, is bordered with a side-pleated ruflle, edged with lace. The waist, is one of those pretty, pleated affairs s0 becoming to a slender, graceful figure, It is confined to the waist by a belt of cardinal ribbon, which my friend designs fastening with acluster of pink roses. The third of these pretty toilettes is made of a lawn of strikingly ODD AND LOVELY PATTERN. There is a ground of clear, delicate cream- color. brightencd by dnshes of shaded maroon cxceedingly rich and pleasing. This dress is made futo a Gabrielle, the fronts of which are double. The upper one is rounded from the| shoulder seam, and lacks some five or six inches of meeting across the bust. Down the centre of the under front is a narrow ruflle edzed with pretty Smyrna lace put on in “ cascades.” The upper fronts arc also bordered by this lacc-edged rutlle. These fronts do mot reach quite to the bottom of the tin front, but are gracefully rounded ofl. Two rufties around the rather loose sleeves and o deep Spanish_flounce, lace bordered i aud. bottom complete this attractive dress. The fourth of these in- sive, but highly satisfactoryRoilettes. has surface over which are hing clusters of soft bite and gray B2lls and leaves, exquisitely shaded. The trimming on this consists of nar- row ruilies headed by puffs, and bows of double, ribbon, blue and gray. Last summer's green cambric wrapper, though the least bit worse for wear, fits too well and is of too lovely a shade to be diccarded. Hence it is turned to account by being made into an undership fora dotted white muslin. - A pretty princess is cut from this last, for the cambricisalready ot this shape, and is trimmed by a_gathered ruffie lying between. two pleated flounces. . All of these are trimmed, with _inch-wide Torchon lace. The surplice-neck is ornamented with a double pleat of Swiss and lace, and down the front, from throat to toe, are dalnty little green bows cov- cred with Swiss and trimmed with lace. Un- fortunately it is not always morning, and. fresh and pretty as arc these dresses, they cannot be worn all day. Hence must some provision De made for evening and late afternoou. 1 may be allowed to sav in confidence, that h!finfil im- Ited wardrobe restricts this thrifty little ady to two changes only aday, and the afternoon she has relipiously vowed to devote to her siesta and her movel in the undress privacy of her room. Ono excoedinely nretty evening M x dress has a gkirt of green silk: for trimming, there are {wo sido-pleated flounces separated by a similar one of white China crape. Above the upper green pleating s a row of bandsome white sflk frinpe ialling slightiy overthe flounce. A Canton crape shawl, wnich_ has done good service in its_original capacity, supplicd the overdress. This was a pointed tablier. cdged with an extremely haudsome fringe, woven into the shawl, and almost half a yard deep, with netted heading. Just above this fringe is grace- 1ully arranged a garniture of delicate pink wild roses with their dark glossy leaves. This gar- land runs along the entire edere, and at the back {ulls over the tablicr, which bere is disposed in a pretty nondescript drapery. The waistis o POINTED BODICE CUT L.OW, and is made of ercen mlk. Cords of white silk lace jt Doth front and back, and around the neck i5 a double ruche of white crepe de chenc. Falling below this is a white silk fringe, similar to that on the underskirt, and this also forms a tinish to the edge of the budice. Running through the centre of the double ruche at the shoulders is a lovely wreath of wild roses and leaves, and sprays of the same are scattered at. intervals over the f)’flhl front of the overdress, thus relieving the large white expanse and in- parling a very pretty appearance. Another very charming toilette is of the sheerest orrandic of an exquisite pale primrose. The long trained skirt is trimmed with a wathered flounce, which has a border of narrow knife-pleating. * Above this flounce are four finger-wide side pleatings, two of oreandie, the alternate ones of black tulle or il- lusion. This torms a trimming reaching a little more than half-way to the knee. There is no overdress, but a broad scarf of black illusion is maost gracefully drapgd about the _figure, com- ing up high on’the left side aud following the course of the train at the back. The waist is cut in pompadour, with . pretty clbow slecves, both being trimmed by ruchines of black illusion. Throughout this toilctte, wherever the overdress is Jooped or on the walst, wherever there is black illusion, are clusters of bright scarlet salvia-blossoms. Another dainty costume is a princess robe of pink lawn, made with sweeping trainand no trimming. ‘This scrves as a lining to a similar- Iy-shaped dress of fnc-dotted Swiss. This also lias o square neck, trimmed with handsome Valeucicunes frills and elbow sleeves, orna- mented jn like manner. A cluster of pinic fuchsias forms the bouquet-de-orsage, and sup- plies adornment for the coiffure.” Like the primrose organdic, this dress has no overskirt, but a widtliof biue matelasse, in shade like the underslip, is arranged with careless grace to form the popular scar( drapery,—astyle best adapted to the princess robe. This scarf is two and a balf vards long, and is edged on both sides by Valenciennes lace. A profusn of palest blue gauze js resolved jnto a istract- ingly pretey costume. The skirt has the usual trimming of nartow flounces. The oyer is cut in a rounded front and bas a loug Ialling over the skirt to its full length Lehind. The iwaist, cut very low, has simply straps across the snoulders for slecves. Bordering the overskirt is a garniture of two of the lovelicst fluwers in the universe,—pale-pink apple-blossoms and delicats blue toract-me- ots. ‘These are scattered 1n prodigal profusion over corsage and skirt, and forn. one of the most exquisite * Pompadour ™ toilettes I have ever seen. These few of my thrifty little lady’s dresses will give you some idea of what AN INGENIOUS AND ENERGETIC young girl may do when a stern gxnrenz limits his charming daughter to $100 for an entire summer outfit, and when this charming daugh- ter’s heart is sct on a fashionable resort. As yet, the fashions which herald July are re- mainivg fu delightfal mystery. Just, at this moment there is absolutely nothing quite new, and those whose duty it is” to startle us with noveltics are busy preparing them. A faverite style of hat is the broad-leaf Pana- ma, which i ragine hot war for suvremacy with Leghorn flats, The Pacama Las wenerally this same shape, - though some very charming ones resemble slightly the Gainsbor- ough, and others are of the favorite * Tally-ho'" style. The trimming on these resembles much that used on I.cghom.—b!m:k velvet, deep or very pale roses, long drooping pitmnes, belnz the most popular garnitures. A very stylish one shownme lately was o Jarwe Panama flat, with broad, droopiug bnim. This, at the left, wes caught up against the crosn, but in such a manner that the edze o2 the brim still drooped, thes forming a pretty retuge for a bunch of pretty willows. A band of black velvet sur- rounded the crown, and a longz white nlume droops over the crown, and falls npon the shoulders at the back. This is the nsual style of ornamentation, thouzh, of course, it often varies, at the taste of the wearer. h MarTiE 8. PARIS. SHORT SKIRTS FOR PROMENADE. Speciar Correspondence of The Tribune. PAR1S, June 16.—Among the pregent dictates of fashion, there is only one deserving especial attention; bus that is of vast importance, as it heralds the revival >f short skirts for promenade costumes. These have never heen disregarded by the truly elegant Parisienac, who recoils from the disagreeably suggestive name of the appendages to the toilette, known as the balayerce, or sweeper, and who reserves, her trains for carriage costames or other appro- priate occasions. It is true the devotces of fashion have been exervising their ingenuity for several years in contriving skirt-clevators to relieve the balayeure, when exhala- tions from mother carth were not all rose perfumed; but the perambulating bundles formed by using these arrangements proved scarcely less admirable than tbe bedrageled trains. ‘The revival of short dresses induces be- lief that weare taking a sensible view of our surroundings, and the graceful drapery of sum- mer robes, s0 at variance with the rizid out lines of the past season, also strengthens this supposition, but the want of harmony in many directions still offers a wide field for reforma- tion. A profusion of velvet trimming and other incongruities entirely at variance with the de- mands of the season are scen in many popular establishments, where mourning toilettes are also presented in sorgeous array, adorned with vfinrla and gleamning in embroldery of steel and silver. CHILDREN’S FASHIONS are extremely beautiful ond simple, befag ges crally devold ot superfluities, including t clumsy sashes which have so long disfizured them.” They present a charming picture, in their favorite rendezvous at this season, in the Bois de Bonlogne, and as fairy equipnges dash by, sometimes drawn by goats gaily capari- soned, or dainty -caleches with mountings of gold and_silver, propelied by pages in gay at- tire, and miniature chariots’ with ostriches driven tandeni, together with a thousand childish sports, and little beauties fitting like butterflics among the flowers, in- duce us to believe we are lterally in Fairsland. At times pretty contrasts are presented in the little toilettes, but Fashion commands these to be os uniform as possible this season. India mull, buff, blue, and rose- colored Canton crepe, embroidered down all the gores in delicate wreaths, and widening to form a heavy border around the lower edge of the skirt, are among the most beautiful toflettes, although more” costly ones are charming in foumv lace, which is a5 profusely used as plain French muslin. Boots penerally match the dress, but if of bronzc or black the¥ are in Lonis XVI. styie with polished red heels reflecting their zold embroidery like a mirror. Paris life has been described as = refined sen- suous emotion,~a graceful flowing of the stream of oleasure towards the precipice of death,—but no one can naint a picturc of Par- Isian character in all its varying shades. THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL EVENTS has_disturbed society here, and heated party- conflicts are not favorable to a very eraceful flowine of the stream of life with all jts conrte- siesand refinements. In fact, events are con- stantly taking place which recall many under the Directory; as n the instance of a cruel ac- cusation against the celebrated Paulet parte by a member of the aristocracy. The Int- ter, Mmc. de Contades, neverlost an opportunity of expressing hier detestation of the Bonapartes, and on the evening mn question she was almost driven to desperation by the triumoh of Paulette at an entertainment given by Barras, when thrones of admirers gathered around the Corsi- can beauty. At anoment when Paulette entered au ante-chamber to rest hersell on a conrh, fol- lowed by numeroys friends, thi terrible Madame de Contades, escorted by M. &’Hautefors, seated Lerself before her. At first admiring, she then went into cestasies over the vollette of Paulettes but suddenly turning away with AN EXTRE3SION OP DISGUST, exclaimed: * Look, d"Hautefort, do you see?” “What do you want me to sec?” “I want you to perceive the manner in which such a pretty person can hide a revolting de- formity beneath her waving hair. Look at the sides of the charming head covered by two enormous ears. What a misfortune! Mon Dieu, what a misfortanc!” Paulette burst into tears, and immediately returned to ber hotel in deepest mortification. Mme. de Contddes, the bold champion of the aristocracy, then reviled the upstart, as she termed the beaatiful Corsican, who for twelve years had not a sou, aud now dared to crash the nobility by the insolence of her luxury. This event is fresh in the memory of the Bonapart- ists, and will in substance “repeat itself in so- ciety before long under another guise. if party spirit is not checked, which is now sceking to vent jta on every possible occasion. ‘rudely treated by Mme. de M In reviewinr many soclal cvents of the past wia- ter, and particularly the entertainments at the Elysee, where on one occasion Mine. Simon wis g ahon, we readily nerceive the result which must neces- sarily follow tie lack of courtesy in the Parisian world. THE SUMMER SEASON in Paris is not favorable for theatrical news. Many of the theatres are closed. The Opera- Cumique, however, will keep open doors nntil the last of the montb. The Theatre Lyrique will reopen in Scptember, when M. Vizentine promiscs the operas of “ Le Bravo™ and * Le Cheval de Bronze” for the first productions. M. Carvatho has been sojourning at Puy since the closing of Les Itallens, but has now return- ed to Paris, and is busily engaged making up his company for next season.
