Another had medallions of lace appiled to it with the silk cut out beneath. A third was a summer lace, rather inexpensive but made charming by an outline stitch In colored silk carried around each flower in the lace. A fourth was in white silk with a pink silk fagot stitching running between the sticks. One was a so-called Japanese fan, In white silk with immense red blossoms sprawling over it; and one dear little fan, only four inches long, was a study ia Louisine silk, trimmed with gold lace of the Louis XI period, the earliest gold lace which is now preserved. The Summer Colors. One Is interested to know which way the colors will turn and whether black and white will hold the fort, or if greem will zut out both. Green is unquestionably the tancy of the month. But it is more cor- rect to describe it as a fancy than as & permanency for it will soon disappear or diminish in popularity.. It is now worn in vellings, sashes and in trimmings and even in whole gowns. Brick red is worn in French cloth and is quite fashionable in Paris. Though hot for summer it can be made cool by white stocks and white lace wristbands and can be subdued by black taffeta sashings and trimmings. Artistic to the last degres are some of the gowns worn by the young women. The girls of the present day are studying dress as well as athletics and the combinations which they strike are most pleasing to the eve. ‘A much written about debutante m‘h‘l gown In cream veiling. It is trh with yellow lace. Now there comes a sash 'in dull blue taffeta with stock to match; and, topping it all, is a hat in black straw trimmed with dull blue silk and big cream roses with one deep red beauty. Another gown worn by this young lady, ~ is In cream, but treated quite differently. with the material, which is a cream broadcloth, there are bands of biack panne, very narrow and put on in points, with butter colored lace falllng from them. Around the foot there is a flounce of broadcloth, headed with black panne, and butter colored lace. Different beilts and stocks are worn and hats matching them. New Summer Sets. It 1s very up to dats to own a summer set. A description of one of these will tell the story. The beginning is a hat of Ja straw, brown and trimmed with brown leaves and faced with brown chiffon. At the side there hangs a green feather over upon the hair. For the neck there Is a boa in brown silk muslin, with pink roses set in the muslin and with thla roses Ig:en are & eat many green leaves. paces ?;(ween the roses are filleg in with the eaves. The belt is a wide piece of Liberty rib- bon with gold chains und buckles and at the neck there is a buckle to match one in front. Tassels finish the boa an there is a bunch of tassels attached to the belt in front. A pink and gray set is quite cool and refreshing in the dog days. The mneck rufle i3 in pearl gray silk, with a big pink rose at the chin. The ends are ribbon ends with a gold medallion upon the end of each. The hat is In pink and gray, gray straw with a pink feather at the side, much like a Gainsborough. The beit is in gray silk with an immense chou in pink and fastening it at the side. A chou of the same description trims the bust. The importance of the little “set” is great, for by its agency many a gown can be made to look pretty and to do duty far beyond its nfipolnted time. The making of a neck rufile, pf a stock, a belt and a set of choux I8 such an easy possibility that one can do it for one's self, even though ohe is not very familiar with the needle.
