the courier: FASHION LETTER. The new skirt will Hare more thin ''ever. There seems to be do limit to the But 'tinea and fullness from .the knee down, ? especially when soft and diaphanous 'material are ueedr All the fulfoecs is, of course, cut cir cular fashion. .By, thtsjneans it is ac 'centaated about the feet. It is restored, that -there is to be an attempt madete soetinne the revived of the three quarter coat. Bat I hardly ' think it will prove successful, as it is tee 'caaiberaome far this sasse sf the year. For next "aatamD, "howerer, its vogae seems certain. Tea- twos will be more" generally wora thaa ever darisg Leaf, when oae is oftener "at home." The smartest are cut oai straight PriBCsase JieeeJalliBg Iron a square deeollats, that neither outline ear conceal the figure. These lines, I am told, 'are being adopted in Paris by the -extremists" for "habihse- jgowBC, bat they are rather too proBoasesd te find much favor with the Modish din over here. " The tea gowss are so made that one slip may be used for several outside slips by such aa are economically in clined. One tea gown that I have in mind has a pink alipof soft "French taffeta, cat on those straight lines that outline yet do not reveal. The outside slip is of black net. with polka" dots a jour, outlined with a thread ofgold. t The net is veiled with one thickness .of black chiffon, which subdues the pink of the lining to the color of a pale pink tope. It has the inevitable drcalar rufie, whiah ia finished ahomt the fast with a 'fluffy little raffle of the aame material. JCjp the frost, and outlining JtheJJecoi 'lete, is a fiae embroidery done in gray ish mosaeeline de soie, with applica tiees of black mousseline, outlised with geld and silver thread and the finest and tiniest of gold and silver spangles. The sleeves of net are to the elbow, and transparent. They are oatliaed withthe ssjaeembtaJdsxy,,withaJitUe. frill of the net to soften its stiffness. The other gown to be wora with the same pink slip is dose in heavy-Irish crechet, than which solace is saasrter. It is cat on thaasase Uses with the square decollete. The distiaction of this lace is its heavy raised design. The lace ia veiled with one thickness of white chiffon, which turns the slip into cold, clear pink and divorcee it definitely from the warm glow of the topaz. After this economical bint, which has the truly "heart-to-heart talk" atmos phere, who shall cry out against the ex travagance of the Modishes. Another good tea gown just created on the aame straight lines. It is done in soft Liberty satin. The outside slip is of violet chiffon with a very full accordeon pleated cir cular ruffle. Orer thk is a long Mandarin coat which reaches to the knees. t This coat is made of black net closely woven with a fine design done in che nille of the same color as the chiffon' .and accentuated at close intervals with clusters ot purple beads in two shades. The coat k outlined with' an ineh widegold and black galloon studded with small amethysts. The square decollete also appears on the chiffon slip. The sleeves of the Mandarin coat" are of cbiffooelbow length, and finished with a double frill of the chiffon. As some among us follow the lead of our English cousins, it is well to note the prevailing popularity of black gowns -:in Lesdon.- These need not necessarily be mourn ing. The eombreness of the black may by combining different materiale and a jadicKwaaalaction pf-tritamisg be made. ..quite smart, and yet conform, to the pre scribed mourning of the court edict The black-and-white combinations ,of which I spoke a week or two ago are extremely popular In .London, and prom ise to be very much wora here later on. An unusual and rather extravagant combination in 'black-and-white was shown lately. It was of heavy white lace Boosts over white Bilk and veiled with bass: set The white lace -was made isTrihssase, sad fitted the figure, 'doisgaway with any possibility of ex tra fu Umbo. The aswast designs id tailor gowns point distiactly to my prediction that the slender, wilkivy figure is ptill most to be desired. The aswast "dtsasy" tailor gowss shew aa asSaite variety in the circular lessee, ia rather narrower widths, however. It ia tacked, stitched ' and strapped in every conceivable way. A thin gown specially to be commend ed to the stout woman is made ioPrio cease form, over a Pricceeee underskirt of taffeta silk. The seams in the thin material are 'made to disappear entirely under un dulating bands of black or white lace insertion. These bands extend from-the bust to the aist line, and from there flares out to the bottom of the skirt. A ruche of lace trims it around the hem. A revival which will be seen this sum jmer is the old-time lace mit's of grand mother's days. These mitts are in tended to be worn with elbow sleeves. Some of them are of openwork lace, while the others show applique flowers of lace on finest lace. This is a fashion that spells comfort, and therefore let us hope that it will widely prevail during the dog days. Lady Modish, in Town -Topies.- -- THE STYLE, YOU KNOW. BY WILLIAM REED DU7KOY.
