THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 18, 1897. G N\ N OW ibe cyclist is di- viding the honors with tiie summer girl in point of dress. In fact the modiste has awmuch more difficult task in couceiving something rew for the cyclist than for the fluffy creation who charms by the seashore and elsewhere. I have been looking the last few days at some designs, or rather some costumes for the bicycle girl, and out of all that I have seen I selected three to write some- | thing about. The first is made of black | and white shepherd’s plain cloth, very | lightand fine, the skirt trimmed with five | broad bandsof black braid, which com- mence just below the hips and finish at the rear at the knees. The braid plays an important vart, too, in the adornment of | the bolero bodice, being arranged in mili- tary fashion in front with barrel butt while it does duty 1n narrower forn bordering. The costume is completed by a full kilted vest of white crinkied siik, softly ruffled at the neck and held in at the waist by a band and bow of black satin, while the sleeves are distinguished by quaintly shaped cuffs trimmed with braid and softened by a friliing of silk. It seemed to me that such a suit as this would be always smart and very durable, | as bicycle suits go. The second costume was built in cloth of tbe fashionable shade of maurve, lines of white and gold braid, terminating in graceful scrolis, outlining the side seams of the skirt and figuring with distinction on the bolero bodice, tha sleeves and epaulettes in company with an edging of black galon. The full front was a charm- ing affair of white chiffon and terminates at the ankles. The third costume was of dark mauve | cloth, with collar, revers and puffs of vel- | vet, edged with a fine fancy braid in violet | and gold. The little Eton coat—which, by the way, boasts of a silk lining—is | turned back, with very dainty buttons in gold and steel, touctied here and there with blue enamel. When the weather de- | mands extra warmth and protection it can | be fastened across in double-breasted | fashion. All the cycling costumes de- | scribed can also be used for walking, | thanks to the cleverness of the up-to-date methods of tke purveyors of tailor-made affairs. Flowers are in evidence in new fashion, 1 observe, and are largely used as trim- mings for evening gowns. Violets have a charming sppearance with pale pink satin and chiffon, and the modest little cowslip can be well utiiized on white satin with | draperies of tender green ribbon to match | their stalks. With this latter material | N (€ also wh‘ or mauve lilacs could be used with charining effect. Some very dainty headgear is being dis- plaved by the milliners. One feature in particular attracts attention—a dainty hat in white crinoline with palest mauve silk | and yellowish lace draped around the | crown and combined to form high bows at one side, while for further adornment there are some cleverly grouped white os- | trich feathers, one or two delicate pink roses and sundry rosettes of mauve chif- fon. Another bat where the dominant note of mauve is struck first by the straw of which the crown is fashioned, and then again by the brim of drawn chiffon, is liited high up at the left side by a mass of exquisitely shaded pansies, above which waves & white osprey, while softening folds of white chiffon add to the effect. I noticed, too, & toque of yellow straw, with soft rosettes of vellow and white chiffon and two high ostrich feathers in the two colorings for its most effective trimming. There was also a rosy hued toque of pink straw and chiffon with pink roses peeping out here and there and a white ostrich tip and osprey for contrast. The cycling hats of smart simplicity this (e @St THE AUREOLE HAT. These becoming hats, which frame the face like a halo, are the keynote of coming styles in millinery. The tip-tilted hat is having its last triumphs. summer are a perfectly light and cool can- vas sailor, with black velvet band and bows and white quills, and a coarse straw saiior trimmed with black and white plaid silk and black quilis. This latter has just a touch of rose pink velvet heading the folded bana round the crown, while in order that every one may be provided for the few but faithful foliowers of the bou- net, which has come to bo despised and neglected of the many, are provided with a smart little model, all gold passemen- terie, with little bunches of black roses and cleverly tied bows of white silk. It was my good foriune the othereven- ing to be present at a social gathering of the people who are supposed to wear the very smartest gowns that can be bou-ht. One lady was tastefully dressed in foulard, the dominant tone in which was pink on a black and white ground. The skirt was made with three irills, each edged with narrow cream-colored guipure lace. The sleeves were of foulard, like the skirt, and the rest of the bodice was of guipure over white satin and finished with a black ash., Another costume, worn by a debutante, was of a dark gray bengaline. The coai bodice was white, Louis Quinze in style, the fronts embroidered in steel and glit- ! tering pailiettes, over insertions of white cloth, all forming a design essentially of the per.od. With this costume was worn a large black hat with black ostrich plumes. A rosette of turquoise blue vel- vet resting on the hair, with a diamond zauze over vellow silk, delicately em- broidered 1n silver and appliqued designs in lace, with a full front, a tiny pleated vest of chiffon and a chiffon sasn. The sleeves were of gauze and the skirt was finished at the hem with quillings of white and yellow chiffoa. A very delicate and per- haps the smartest dress’ worn on the oc- casion to which I refer was a costume of white organdie muslin embroidered with Louis Seize bows connected by a floral trail executed in tones of pale crocus, mauve and yellow. The yoke was of transparent lace inserted cleverly in a very original bodice of white bengaline, while the coloring of the embroidery was prettily repeated in the waistband, The last of the notabie gowns I noticed was of dove gray moire with a zigzag satin design upon it. The skirt was fin- ished with a lace insertion at the hem and the boaice, of bolero shape, was of lace over white, opening on a soft front of white silken muslin and lace. There was a little puffed edging of gray chiffon and a white folded collar. A fawn-colored satin straw bonnet trimmed with black velvet and tea roses was worn with this costume, having a high black and white rosette at one side. It is the supposition that there are brides at all times of the year, and that is why I suppose that there is such an in- cessant lookout kept in their behalf to se- cure something new. The very newest idea this season is to use s:lk Maltese lace as trimming for the wedding-dress. It is very charming in wonderful shades of ivory and cream. Furthermore, it is very popular, and I think we might very easily 81y this year that not only happy is the bride the sun shines on, but happy is the bride whose gown is trimmed with silk Maltese lace. Some one was telling me the other day that I ought to write more about what the summer girl wore. Did vou ever hear anything so ridiculous? Was the bona- fide summer girl ever known to wear any- thing but white, unless it was a bathing suit or a bicycle costume? Certainly not. Bhe wears to-day whatshe did yesterday and what she will wear to-morrow. If only we could all be summer girls. But then we can’t, and really, for one, Tdon’t feel like crying about it. CYNTHIA. Bathing-Dresses. Many this season are being evolved from serge. Blue and black are rivals for popular favor. These may or may not be braided, with either white or btack braid. A fine but light grade of the material is always selected, as it must not be too cumbersome and heavy. The small fancy braids sre liked. Mohair and alpaca, also of a superior grade, are also in demand for such gar- orzament in the center, completed the | ments, as, like serge, they readily sned costume. A very effective gown was of yellow the water. White mohair makes s mos| dress, but all are worn over regular bathing tights, which no swimmer shoull be without. These have a fair percentage of fine wool in their composition, which is especially necessary when the heavy can- vas or denim is used, and noi a few bathing-dresses have been seen of these cotton gowns, which shed the water per- fectly, but, as one girl remarked, *are as cold as tin when wet.”” Deep sailor collars usually compiete the blouse waists, which are seidom cut with square or round necks, most of the fair wearers not cering to have their necks burnt and freckled. The sleeves are short. 55 Plump, fully developed women should never be without tne regular soft tex- tile bathing corset, which is but little more than a high belt, but serves ina measure 10 preserve the outlinesof the figure. The great flapping straw hats appear, among fashionable bathers, to have van- ished, and in their place is to be seen the neat little rubber cap, which is always concealed yby a gay-colered silk hanaker- chief. Reds preferred, but be sure to as- certain that the dye is fast before wear- ing, as I know of a case where it was quite difficult to remove a deep blue dye that came off such a headdress. Besiles, ima- agine how unsigntly the unfortunate maiden looked, with little streams of biue water running down her face and neck. Many now merely have their hair taste- fully and compactly dressed and decline to wear any sort of headgear. Not a few regret the banishment of the great hats, which certainly offered a considerable pro- tection from the sun’s fierce rays. Bathing slippers have been voted ugly and clumsy, and asa result they are sel- dom seen. Stockings, always black, of one size smaller than those usually worn, if of sufficient thickness or substance, will hold the foot in shape. The best and most becoming cost at least $5 per pair, as the all-silk hose enjoy a great vogue, buv must be of the most expensive grade. Those of wool and silk mixed are sometimes seen. Naturally being of a small size such hose are quite an item, as even the best wear out very rapidly. Most bathers on leaving the water are at once enveloped in a voluminous, long circular cape, which hides defects and prevents any possible chill. These are as simply made as possible, but, as usual, all depends on the cut. The woman having the usual figure cer- tainly snould avoid surf bathing at fash- ionable resorts unless perfectly equipped at all points unless absolutely devoid of vanity, as no costume can be more unbe- coming, in fact absolutely hideous. Not a few of the prettiest toilettes of this sort are made at home, as their con- struction is wonderfully simvole, and ow- ing to the fact that when being made little defects are readily remecdied, even those with but few ideas of dressmaking will not fird them too difficult to handle. For Children. A mite of 6 years of age is a picture ina | tine white muslin frock, made with quaint muosquetaire sleeves, inserted with Valen- ciennes. A yokeof the sameinsertionisa specimen of Leautiful needlework. Round the bottom of the skirt are two frills of muslin, lace-edged. The square yoke is surrounded with a soft ruffie of the Iace, and tho little costume is completed with a long sash of soft silk. For a wee maid of 10 has b’en made an odd evening gown of soft white India silk. It has a V-shaped fold of chiffon and ruches a la Marie Antoinette that extend over the si.oulders and down the front. The sleeves are composed of two kiltings of silk, one extending over the other. If you want your little daughter to be attired like a Dutch girl purc:ase s soft figure of woolen material and some silk or velyet to make the short-waisted bod- ice, which must have epaulettes, collar, cuffs and skirtband to match; a white chemisette and a close bonnet are also necessary, as asa pattern or illustra- tion of the dainty garment. For maidens of 15 or 16 I want to men- tion two gowns. One is of a fine cash- mere, made with a guipure waist; the same lace edges a bolero-like collar. For the second cashmere is like wiseemployed, and it has a velvet bolero edged with a handsome silk passementerie. The vest, and sash, that ties at the left side with short loops and long ends, ars of a soft silk that matches the fabric of which the costume is composed. Very chic is a frock fora chila of 8, of pale blus corded silk; the short jacke: is set in three box pleats in the back and twoin front. The yoke and the bishop sleeves are completed with a ruche of the silk. A poke bonnet of 1830, with a white straw brim, a crown of soft blue silk and a bow of blue s'lk ribbon tied in two long rabbit-like ears goes well with it. MARCELLA. Junior Order American Mechanics.
