NH\V YOHK , July 21. Just at this moment fashion li revolving vigorously round the Louis XVI period. In Paris , where the dramatization of Dumas' novel. "Le Collier do la Heine , " has revived Interest In the styles of this time , all Hie new things are cither "Louis XVI" or "Marie Antoinette. " and It Is hinted by authorities high In rnat- tera modish that by winter we will all be looking exactly like old court portraits. Stiff bretellei and crinoline skirts , It Is said , will give way to soft draperies and floating fichus ; the fichus , In all degrees of laca and muslin , have already appeared as Inviting ac cessories , but later on they will be part and parcel of the short bodies. As for > our dresk- up bodice , 11 will ba something entirely dif ferent from what It has been. ' THK IlKION OP TUB COAT. It Is to be a coat evidently. Uut when' Monsieur Felix says It Is to be a Louis XVI coat , another big wig says It will bo a Louis Qulnza coat. At any rate. It will be a coat , short and open , and with a smart , flared tall and hip pockets , nnd the iif may be rltliir a tight affair , with Jeweled buttons , or else In the shape of a "fichu mentcur , " which fichu and called because means a story-telling , so cause It gives a deceiving air of plumpness Hut. In plain English , a fichu mentcur Is simply a fichu with crossed bsrtha-folds. In the way of hats , If one Is to Judge from present Indications , headgear Is to be fear fully and wonderfully made. Yet , some of the midsummer hats are very charming. All shew the Influence of Louis XVI modes In breadth of crown , but where some aru perfect flower gardens of random posies , others are distinguished chiefly by odd shapings and a fantastic wearing of the straw. One very wonderful model on this order , and which Is here pictured , was called the Marie Antoinette , and as can be seen. It Is more like a mop cip than a hat. It was of fine black chip , with the crown pleated Into the brim mop cap fashbn , and the brim cJgod quaintly with a little frill of the chip. The trimmings were black velvet ribbon , black feathers and LT France roses. AN ANToiNinrn HAT. Another In the same shape was of white chip , with a frill of crimped blond Uca standing up all round the crown , two bunches of pink and green roses lit each s.do Still another was of pile green chip , with a wreath cf pink anJ white verbena , and bo.vs and strings cf green taffeta ribbon , and this r.'as the sweetest of all. Ono could flgaro the sort of woman who will wear It , even If she hadn't been seen MARIE ANTOINETTE HAT. sitting under a tree at an out-of-town garden party. She was tall and blond of course , ns should be the woman who takes to Marie Antoinette fashions , and straight under her oval chin the w'de strings cf her hat wore tied In a big fetching bow. She wore a gown of white organdie , barrel with green and little vines cf pink , and made with a rohnd bodice and a frilled fichu , with long ends of white silk mull. Her big hat was tilted low over her forehe".d after the approved Marie Antoinette fashion , and though her front hair cculd not be seen one was con fident It was arranged pompadour , from the wiy the sides such cool , blond , white sides ! were sleeked back. Besides , the stately pompadour puff goes with the Louis XVI modes , and the woman who would wear such. Adorable toggery could not do other than ha\e her locks In keeping , She was a pattern to be remembered. DESIGNED roil HRUNKTTBS. . Seated next to the demure blond lady was n dashing symphony of brunette coloring tnd yellow taffeta bilk A black-eyed maid t was this , nnd though her gown , which was sprigged with wall-flowers and trimmed with quaint little mines of Swiss v\as most worthy of tribute , it was her headgear that struck the eye of the searcher after truth and millinery. It was a wonderful hat , modern and eccentric tea a degree , but It became the girl's little black head cnchantlngly. And so one put away the Idea of picturing It on the wrong maid. It was a dead white chip with a sort of billycock crown , high and stiff and largest at the top ; around this the brim was literally ftllled on , most of the full ness being at the left whore , undarneath dark red roses burned against the hair The cole , other trimming was a big flyaway bow of thick velvet ribbon nt th ; light side , and n band of the same that encir cled the crown as If holding It In. Dlit the effect was stunning. CROWNS. DUIMS AND TRIMMINGS. The ciowns of trimmed sailors hive broadened out astonishingly slnco spring. Some shown by one of our smartest man- mllllncrs , Indeed , are almost all crown , brims being very narrow and trimmings put on to Increase this effect , Posed on the head well forward , as Is now the moilo for nlmnst all hats , at a little distance they have the air of turbans. Crowns of wider brimmed sillers nro not so large , but. the trimmings even of them are massed almost out to the edge of the brim , and when a few weeks ago this trimming was chiefly a mad collection of Indiscrim inate blossoms , birds , wings and chiffon and nre now much used. Gulls and white pigeons are the favorite blrdllngs , and the chiffon Is rolled In loose ropes and made up Into great snow hill puffs. These chiffon snowballs are very funny. They uro hs large round as your lists doubled , and often stand straight up on a tall wire stem , which Is also clumsily wrapped with chiffon. Onoery dashIng - Ing hat lately sesn wns entirely trimmed wl'h these puffs , interspersed with others of salmon pink satin ribbon. A French walking hat hid one In golden brown taffeta ribbon rHtig from loops of white chlflon. NB\V MODE OP THE VEIL. The hat Itself vvasBrown rough straw and with It was worn a white point applique veil , all the best and the worst modes are born , FRHNCH HAT AND VBIU. uncommonly long and loosely attached. I had a narrow , very decorative swirl border , tnd > sas figured sparingly \ > ltli tiny flits ; at the back the two short scarf ends knotted once , and then hung loocse. In 1'arls. whsre white veils are very much worn , and when bordered the decorative edge Is always far below the chin. Point appllijue , tulle and > > lcn < ] net ru the text'let ' used , and when not bordered the veils are very wide , IIng In thick folds under the chin. Illack' tulle , however. Is more universally becoming than any white veil , when worn In the way mentioned. As to midsummer parasols , words fall to give on adequate Idea of their variety and loveliness. Like everything else they seem more charming than ever this year. Those n white and Bilk and white chiffon arc much sed and become n plain gown prodigiously. hey nre not altered greatly In shape , nnd cntlnuo sensible In 8le , though the same Illy little sun-shades that our mothers ns&d , nd that .turn over Into fans when thd * ccaslon repulres , nre seen. rilAIIj AS THI3Y AUB FA1H. They nro all delightful and expenilve , nnd lie most iH'rltliablo of perishable things , nd , of course , not one will be fashionable ext summer. Meanwhile , however , three f the prettiest lately seen are worthy of escrlptlon , and that the women under them ooked adorable goes without saying. The alntlcst of th < \ three by far wai of white afleta silk , flowered In pompadour colors , nd with a coal black border , which cmplm- Izlng note was repeated In a big jet knob t end ct a slender 'nandle of white enamel ; Instead of lining , the bones of the skeleton icro wrapped with pink jllk , which gave hem the look ot palo rose coral ; and at the utsldo top , nnd haif way down the handle , hero were bunches of pink flowers tied with { tiots ot black ribbon.

Not hat there In any particular novelty to the net. The Woman's building at the Coltim- ) lan World's fair at Chicago will long be rc- ncmbercd as a wonderful monument to wom an by woman In every part of the eastern , northern , central nnd western states the sex tea with man In Industrial , professional nnd ntcllcctual progress. In all these districts he old order has yielded to tlio new. But In the south It has heretofore been very differ ent. The old order prevailed everywhere. onsenatism was the universal rule , and change bcomcd Impossible The Atlanta ex- losltlon has wrought u peaceful but rapid revolution In Dixie. Within a twelvemonth t has effected a change such as would have utterly bonified Mrs Grundy in 1S92. It las put the foutli in line with the rebt of the union , and opened up a new era for Us people. The story Is brief and Interesting When ho male directors began their plans and ar rangements far the exposition there was little or no provision made for what Is now known as a woman's department. Hut there were thousands of cultured poutnrrn men and A omen who had attended the World's fair , and been amazed nt the Woman s building and Its exhibits within the fair grounds , and ho great Woman's Temple In the city proper This acted as an Incentive , which resulted n the formation of a board of lady managers. Including n laige number of the leading women of the state. The exposition directors lielng unable to furnish a building , the women raised , by their own ef forts , the sum ot $15.000 , to which the directory afterward made an addition of $10,000. Then the energetic woman's boarD opened a competition for female architects , and selected the design ot ono of the competi tors , Miss Mercur of 1'ittsburg , for the Woman's building. This much accomplished , the board formulated a plan of action to [ nr-reachlnc ; and comprehensive as to equal that of the Chicago fair. A boird of visitors was established , consisting of Mrs. Cleveland , the countess of Aberdeen , a dozen distln gtiished society women from the great cities 3f the land , and another dozen from Georgia This gave the woman's department a social tone and character of the best type A second move was to enlist the Interest of the many women's oiganlzatlons of the country , a third , to obtain the Invaluable aid of the press , domestic and foreign ; a fourth , to at tract exhibitors troin distant points , both at home nnd abroul ; and a fifth , to increase the attractiveness , variety , beauty and utility of the exhibits to bo shown In the Woman's building. Along all these lines work is now going on continuously. Assuring responses have como trom every quarter In the new world and the old. 1 nut It Is In regard to the exhibition o ! woman's Industry and work that the largest labor has been done. The mere list of the committees affords a good Insight Into what Is being accomplished. Practically every thing in which woman Is concerned Is covered. Among others there are committees on decorative and applied art , floriculture , agriculture and pomology , fine art , sculpture hospitals and charities- kindergartens , day nurseries and children's schools , woman's professions , patents. Inventions and dibcov- orlea , lltnaturc nnd the press , architecture building and housekeeping , bee culture , poul try and ornithology , copklng , embroidery and education , music , normal schoo's and colleges , and household economics. The Woman's building under such auspices promises to be ' the feature ot the exposition. It Is artistic'home-like , and elegnnt. The exhibits will be enough In number and In terest to stock a great museum. It will un doubtedly bo nn Important factor In Improv ing the condition of the women In the south , nnd especially of those who are dependent. nt < iiOK Tim mo OIIA.MII : . Mm.

She the widow of Captain Hlchard King , anil she owns a principality In southern Texas Her landed estate consists of about 1,250,000 acres that Is to say , nearly 200 square miles Tor taking care of this vast domain a small army of moil Is required. Their votes are controlled by the mistress , who Is to all Intents and purposes a queen. The records of the land ofllco at Wash ington reveal some extraordinary facts , with relation to that part of southern Texas which seems on the map to Intrude Into Mexico terminating In n point at the mouth of the Rio Grande , This region , nearly as big as New Hngland , comprises four great coun ties , and Is owned by four families the Kings , the Kennedys , the Collinses and the Armstrongs. Much the largest of the fcur share * belongs In fee simple to Mrs , King. The ancient road from San Antonio to Urownsvlllo has been closed by Mrs. King's fence. ' , and thcro are no gates. There Is no road la In that country The only way to get from Drownsvllle to Alice Is by a stage route of forty hours. The 'stage car ries mall for a large part of Mexico. In the entire distance there Is not u single settle ment , because the territory traversed belongs to Mrs , King. Thej region Is wholly wllil being used for cattle gracing. In "Tho Wesl from a Car Window" Mrs. King Is referrei to by Ilichard Harding Davis , who remarks that It Is difficult to Imagine a solitary fam ily occupying an ar alarger than some of the eastern states an area that would In the east support a stale capital , with gov ernor and legislature and numerous smal towntwith competing railway systems am rival base ball 'nines. The owner of thin principality Is a gener ous and liberal , minded woman , about CO years of age. She does mucligood.and takes care of her people. To each laborer on her estates she gj\ei a cow. Her ranch ot Santa Gertrudla Is the largest In the world ; It ls bounded by Corpus C'hrlstl bty for a distance of forty miles , and by barbed wire fence * for 300 miles more. From'her front door to her front gale Is thirteen miles , and the can drive In her carriage ilxty-flve miles In a alralgh line without going off her own premises. Her liousf lookn like a castle on the Ilhlne a typ leal baronial mansion. It U situated on a slight eminence , surrounded by the modes duellings of her defenders and by fields ot waving corn , lleyond on every side Is a green wilderness of meirjulte and cactus. The chateau Is as completely furnished and as handsomely equipped as any mansion on Fifth avenue In New York. No luxury that money can buy anywhere la lacking to the widow , who , by the way , Is the daughter of the first Presbyterian missionary to the Rio Grande. Corpus Chrlstl Is the terminus of a lallway , and from that point a continuous stream of wagons carries Ice and other neces saries to the ranch. Mrs. King lives for sev eral months ot each year In a palace at Cor pus Chrlstl. Her son-in-law , Robert J. Kle- barg , Is general manager of the ranch , on which ore 200,000 cattle of Improved breeds. Long trains of freight cars nre made up at Corpus Chrlstl to carry Mrs. King's cattle to the cist. To run the vast estate casts about $100,000 a year. Fir every twenty miles ot barbed wire fence thcro Is a man to make repairs and sec that no break occurs. In the old days to cut n fencs was an offense likely to result In the death of the perpetrator ot the act. Throe hundrcl cowboys are regularly employed , 1,200 ponlca being set aside for their uso. Every spring all of the calves are rounded up for branding. They are driven Into a pen through a wooden chute , and as they leave the t'ntito each one Is caught by the leg and thrown upon its side. Then ono of a dozen Irons that are kept red-hot In an open fire Is pressed upon the animal's nose. All brands are registered , nnd sometimes each member of a family has one. Mr Davis speaks of a girl who cimo out In society In New York three winters ago and who Is known In Texas only as "the owner of the triangle brand. " Nobody can get water In that country save by good will of the owners of the great estates , and no one can trnvel without their permission , Inas much as tlierj are no public roads.

Wltn summer feasting comes a demand for dainty dishes , delicious things which melt In the mouth and cause one to call down every blessing upon the head of the ccok , and to exclaim : "Ah ! that tastes like a little bit ot heaven ! " To concoct these toothsome morsels Is often not so dlfllcult as It sounds , or , shall I say , as it tastes. The first consideration is that the morsel must bo cold cold as charity , and light light as vanity. Perhaps 'tis H Russian Ice garnished with violets , or a fruit , sahd .1 "fruit kaltschale , " as the Russians call It. FOOD A LA RUSSE Is quite the thing at present , possibly be cause that nation has brought the art of things "frold" and gelo to such distracting perfection. For example , what can be more refreshing than a Russian Ice , which , at the present , is the most recherche dish at the smart din ner party 7 The mode of Its manufacture Is as follows : Whisk n pint and a halt of cream to a froth ; add nearly a pound of fine sugar , a wine glassful of Maraschino or other llqueure , hilt a wine glassful of kumiiel , sixteen drops of essence of vanilla , one and one-half ounces ot gelatine dissolved In a gill of balling water , which should be rose water. Have In reaJl- ness a glass of spinach juice for coloring the cream licit the mixture carefully and scat ter in It shredded fresh plsachlos and almonJs Pour all Into a mould and place In a pall of crushed Ice and salt. Serve with Iced cham- pigue sauce and vanilla gauffres. FROZEN SALADS. A fruit salad , or fruit kaltschalo , as the Russians say , calls for any and every fruit peaches , pared , stoned and sliced , pineapples , apricots , melon , all fresh If possible Put In a dish and place on the Ice. Put Into a saucepan ono pint of Lafltte , two "pints of champagne , a pinch of cinnamon , a wine glassful of'Madelra , and sugar to taste , nail , stirring constantly for flvo minutes ; when PARASOLS FOR DC ACH OR MOUNTAIN. cold , pour over the fruit and serve ; . Common rod wine may be substituted for the La fltte and lemonade and orangeade for the champagne. . A DELICIOUS RUSSIAN DISH. Maccdolno a la Ktisse , a dish fit for the gods , Is something like a fruit salad. Peel and slice thinly three oranges and put them In a china mould. ScUtor over these a layer of single grapes , wiped there iglrty dry ; then a handful of fresh berries , Inter mixed with finely shredded almonds and small pieces of pineapple ; cover these with another layer cf grapes , hedged In with slices of oranges , so that at the top as at the bottom of the Macedolne they are that first. Melt two gills of gelatine In a pint of water ; add a wlno glassful of Maraschino , or other llqueure , a tumbler of syrup of sugar , a llqueure glass of anisette and two table spoons of kummel. Take a small handful of Russian violets ( petals ) nnd throw them Into this mixture ; pour It over the fruit and put the mold In crushed ice until eet When ready to serve , garnish with Russian violets , lets. COOL INTERVALS WHEN DINING. Sorbets , which come In so refreshingly between the Joint and the next course , are very easily mode. If ono happens to have the proper moulds , as they need only to bo filled and burled In tee. A sorbet Is usually made by mixing a lemon water Ice with liquor , or syrup for flavoring ; a little fruit , either fresh or preserved , serves to garnish the sorbets , which , owing to the spirit used In making them , are never as solid as other Ices , Here Is an easy recipe ; Make a strong lemonade , and when partly frozen add two glasses of rum or brandy , or ono of brandy and three of champagne to a quart of Ice. Sorbets can be varied In definitely , for almost an } water Ice flavored with spirit answers. Sorbet a la Royale Is oranges pulped and pressed through a slevo. To each halt pint , put two ttblcspoons of brandy and two of orange svrup. A RICH CHILLY CREAM A refreshing dessert for a July day In Bavarian creum with chocolate , and Its manu facture Is quite simple. Doll together n pint of cream or rich milk and two table- spoonsful of sugar ; when nearly cool , flavor with vanilla , and add hall a box of gelatine , which has been dissolved In a cup of water ; also add the yolks of four eggs well beaten and two sticks of chocolate which have been dissolved In a little hot water. When It Vias become quite cold stir In a pint of cream , which has been whipped to a stiff froth. Put In a mould and set on the ice until wanted. AN APPETIZING DESSERT. Creine panachee a la Russe Is made like Davarlan cream , with equal quantities of different fruits , cither fresh or preserved. Put In pineapple , cherries , strawberries , peaches and plums. Divide this In three quantities. Color one pink with cochineal , and others green with plstachc ; then when the cream Is turned out of the mold garnlsl ! the base of It with little heaps of the pink and green cream , with whipped cream over all. Junket Is always a nice dessert for a warm day , because It Is easily made , and If made In time can be put on the Ice and eaten cold. The bottle of rennet , which U bought at any druggist's , usually has printed directions giving the prpportlon ot rennet usually a tibleipoonful to a quart eof milk.

Each Individual member felt satisfied with the resolution and assured that It was a credit to herself and the organisation.

"How on earth could anybody remedy an evil be fore It existed ? " The thin lady looked startled , so the sec retary put in consolingly : "Never mind , this resolution will show everybody that we are and have been radically opposed to nil sorts and conditions nf bribery " "Oh , docs boodllng mean bribery ? " gasped the thin ladv. "Why , I thought all along that a boodler was something like a burglar , who went In and helped himself to tilings " "I knew that you were making a mistake , " Interrupted the empire-gowned member. "I know It all along Of course n teal boodler Is one who helps others rather than him self " "I don't see. " the secretary began , In a puzzling way "You don't have to , " said the other , smartly. "Nobody sees a boodler when he Is boodllng He is only heard of afterward through the psoplo whom he has benefited They tell on him , and so ho .has to be pun- hhoJ Instead ot them. Isn't that clearjl' "Of course It Is , " said little Miss Snway , "but nro you stlre , then , that our resolution Is Just right' It seems to me " "Nonsense. Of course It's right. Oh ! pshaw.

" I Miss Sawdy still looked troubled and tin- convince 1 , and said she guesseJ she'd speak to her papa about It , anyhow. The emplro- waUted woman nearly screamed. "IJut In deed you mustn't ! Dear , dear , Miss Sawdy , I'll give you that lace handkerchief you liked so much If you'll keep perfectly silent yes , and the enameled butterfly clasp , too.

The richest woman In the world may como to live In Now York. She Is Senora Isadora Couslno of Santiago in Chill. Her fortune has been estimated at $200,000,000. Many facts combine to make Donna Cous lno of extreme Interest her vast fortune , her habit ot spending it In Monte Cristo-llke magnlflcance , her remarkable character and her two beautiful daughters. She Is n person so different from the ordinary , commonplace American millionaire that she will ba an objecl worthy of the attention of every class , from the mcmbera of fashionable society to students of political economy. Physically , Senora Couslno is of the high est type of Spanish beauty. Her daughters nre all that could be desired as youthful beauties of the same type , and their appear ance In the national costume Is charming. Senora Couslno lives and spends her money without much regard to public op.lnlon. She ' Is very fond 9 | b'clght. happy young men. She always surrounds hersU with a crowd of them , sometimeslentertalnlng as many as thirty or forty atja time. To those who please Ijer. according to the report of an An erlcan who -visited her at Santiago , slio gives all the moliey they can spend. When the -American fleet was at Val- Upshur and altilili officers to visit her at Macul and at' ' Santiago. About twenty of them accepted ; The whole city of San tiago was at thilr'disposal They could pay for nothing In shops and restaurants and the aters.

The seiiora's Ifiropfertles Include silver , cop per and coal 'nllliea. ' Innumerable herds of cattle , ncres of'reai estate In Santiago and Valparaiso , thLMWb chief cities of Chill ; a fleet of steamships , a railroad , smelting works , vineyards and Immense tracts of arable land. She not only sells large num bers of fine horses and cattle , but has had much success on the race course She bets heavily , and at one meeting her winnings were said to be $100,000 , From the coal mines alone rhe Is said to derive an Income of $80,000 a month. At one time she had a monopoly of the supply of good Chilian coal. To mine U and de liver It on shipboard cost her $1.25 a ton , and she sold It at a trifle less than $7.50 , at that time the cost ot Imported English coal , The llsl of the sources of her wealth might be continued by going Into such trifling de tails ai banks and potteries. Her money- spending powers are only equaled by her money-making powers. She leads a golden existence. If the late M. Dumas had known her he- would have acknowledged that his Monte Crlsto was lacking In Imaginative qualities. Ho.v can U ba wondered then that the young naval officers were somewhat Intoxicated by her magnificence ? New York would Indeed find a valuable addition to Us social life In her. rnnlilon ISoti-N. ( Hrussrls net and tulle fichus bordered with ono or three plaited rubles are used over a high and low necked corsage. The American challls are this summer ex ceptionally pretty In design , but the quality , though good , Is not at all like the French goods. Illack alpaca and black mohair skirts are Immensely popular this year , these c'.egantly cut nnd hung , and lined In color matching t'nnt ot the blouse bodice. She who Is tired of organ-pipe folds may have her godct skirt laid In backward-turning plaits at the back. With nn Interlining ot fibre chamois the plaits stand out with a graceful effect. The beautifully shaded silk embroidery on the edges of chiffon' , llsse , nnd tulle rufllcs and flouncing Is machine work entirely , but It has nil the exquisite and lovely effect of the finest hand work. In Paris , grny , beige , white nnd black al pacas nre everywllierc worn. Some of the black gowns have Immense sailor collars ot giecn , violet or brown velvet , with nn ap plique or rich cream lace nt the edge. Pretty outing suits ot blue Imperial ecrgc have Eton jackets with tnbbed fronts nnd large bishop sleeves. Wash silks , striped , checked or dotted , nro used for the blouse fronts , or often line French zephyrs In plain colors ot buff , yellow , pink or tan are sub stituted. Grass cloth Is pushing Its way to the front among summer materials. Hcsldes Its use for fronts and broad collars It also serves for waists and whole dresses It has the advantage over some thin materials ot per mitting a collar to gleam through It without showing what the material Is. Though a vast majority of skirts nro mi- trimmed , not a few of the newest creations show signs of alteration In this respect. Flounces appear on many snnrtly made gowns brought from Europe , and It Is said that when trimmed skirts again prevail , flounces will provide the leading garniture. A traveling -dress of brown and tan mixed chovlot has n short , double breasted basque und a six-yard skirt having godcts at each side. The skirt and the mutton-leg sleeves arc liltorllnud with fibre chamois to produce the correct bouffant oltect , and the chemisette and standing collar may be of duck or pquo. ! Haircloth is now hardly used at all for linings. Several substitutes are on the market for which wonderful qualities arc claimed. They are warranted not to crease , not to ; pllt , and not to lose their stiffness Whatever their faults may bo will soon be generally known , for their cheapness makes them widely employed. Among the more serviceable of the summer costumes are those of silver-colored mohair , the skirts full , but absolutely plain The short skirted coats are rcundeJ In front At the back a very frilly appearance Is given by means of flutes cf the mohair well stiffened , and corresponding to those which give fullness to the skirt. I'oavy white linen duck suits that cost qulto as much as a silk costume are made with gored skirt showing Inserted points on the lower portion of each seam , made of rich linen lace. The blouse or waistcoat jndthe Immense sailor collar and revers are trimmed with pink or blue linen , with a bordering of linen lace Insertion about two nnd one-half Inches v\Mc. The magpie combination Is becoming to women of nil ages auil complexions. A stylish example Includes a capo of black satin lined with white taffeta , with a neck ruche of black and white moussellne The capo Is cut In circular style and Interlined with fibre chamois. Velvet ribbon divides favor with spangled satin ribbon as a deco ration for the. fashionable. The Trilby lockets , In the shape of large hearts , arc attracting attention to the jewel ers' windows. These lockets nre a bit un gainly , bat being n fad of the hour , that Is not considered. They swing from a line gold or silver chain which Is worn about the neck. The lockets nre made to hold two pictures The Trilby lockets are made In gold and silver , nnd many of them nre Incrusted with jjems. The new "Dresden challls" nre of rrench manufacture , and they show many of the beautiful designs popular in Dresden ribbons and Bilks , and the small patterned Chine sa tins of last winter. These fabrics arc as dell- cite and sheer as veiling , and they make summer-llko and dainty gowns , which , though delicate In pattern and coloring , may bo worn on cool days and evenings during the entire beason. A delicate fawn-colored mohair Is made up with a fawn and rose chameleon silk , with glints of gold and silver variously showing on the lustrous surface as different lights fall Upon It. The skirt is also lined with the silk. The pretty silk corsage has a pointed yoke nnd falling shoulder frills of gulpere lace , the lace Insertion yoke made over plan rose silk. The sleeves have a largo Queen Anne puft to the elbows , with lace ruffles as a finish. Figured duck Is made up with a bagging front to the bodice of plain duck , a panel down the front of the skirt being of white duck to match. Illack lawn , nccordeon pleated and worn with a little white duck jacket that spreads widely open In front to show the loose blouse of the lawn , makes a stunning gown. It should be worn with an all black and cloud-like picture hat , or with a very trig rough straw In black bound close .with a roll of white duck for a band. Green nnd whlto Is a combination ot which one sees much , a notable example being a green and white organdie with n floral stripe of pink roses and green leaves. This Is made as n very modern princess dress , with the largo sleeves set on below the shoulders. The skirt has a plain hem , but the back of the bodice Is finished with frill of broad lace , which forms a babque , while a wide cape- like fichu Is draped full across the shoulders The hat Is a large leghorn , garlanded with green leaves. Upon some of the handsome dancing toilets of the season , the most artistic nnd beautiful effects nre produced In the combining of webllko laces nnd velvet ribbons In olive green , violet , old rose , E ° lle" ( brown , claret , and black. Dainty ecru laces .fnd Insertions combined with rose-colored velvet ribbons form a rich and most becoming mixture Pink llsse ruflles embroidered with green and gold , jnboted , and made up with wine-colored veivet , are another. Cream-yellow chlflon scalloped on the edges with deeper yellow silk floss nnd made up with green or ruby velvet loops and ends Is a Spanish fancy. FiinlnliKNotiH. . Mine.
