should always be pure white, a list which
inclundes muslin iiixlerwcar, nightdresses,

not so quickly become soiled would be
worn more than they are. The Juliet shoe
for the street is merely a revival of the old
fashioned congress goiter with elastic in
he sides that went out of style for women
years ago, although it remained in use for
men. It was predicted that side lace boots
would .also reappear, but none have been
seen as yet. Button boots are first favor-
ites, but the Bluchcr cut laced style is
likewise much worn, especially in tan
shades. Low, flat heels are decidedly the
fashion, but the toe;§‘anges impartially
from pointed to common sense shapes.
Patent leather retains its popularity, al-
though, as it is not elastic, the foot takes
a. Wider shoe in this material than in kid.
A woman with a. large foot cannot do
better than confine herself to plain fine
French kid boots, as they fit perfectly and
comfortably, and having a. dull finish are
inconspicuous. For evening wear she
should select black suede or satin shoes
without rosettes or buckles.
Now for the other extremity. The flat

come in, nor are they likely to do so. We
are too well accustomed to the softening

HANG UP YOUR HAMMOCK.
How to Make It rctty and “1:31. to “'ear
In It.~
Have you hung out your hammock? ' A
hammock, a novel and a negligce gown
are justifiable indulgenccs when warm
weather sets in. With plenty of cushions
and a story over which one may fall asleep
—a volume of sermons might answer the
purpose better, by the way, although such
literature is not usually rscommended as
restful summer reading—a hammock is an
ideal lounging place on hot days. If 1y-
ing still and reading or dreaming becomes
monotonous, by swinging a few minutes a.
sufficiently respectable amount of seasick-
ness may be produced to let one fancy that
one is enjoying the delights of a yachting
excursion.
For several seasons it has been the fash-
ion to make on ’s own hammock, and the
materials for these wonderful webs have
been offered as regular summer goods in

the shops, large hanks of twisted silken
cord and big netting needles to carry it.
Fanciful cotton hammocks, too, are dis—
played ready made in various brilliant
hues, decorated with fringe and valance like
the housings of a knight's horse in the
days of chivalry. Finally there are the
common manilla nets in red, yellow and
black, and they are the most serviceable of
the three, although the least expensive and
the least ornamented.
As for cushions, plush and silk are bet—

A PRETTY PARlS GO'VVN.
It Is of \Vliitc Lawn and Green Velvet.
French and Yankee Fashions.
We are fond of affirming in a. dissatisfied
manner that European fashion papers and
fashion writers are superior to those in
America, as is everything else abroad, ac-
cording to the critics. Their pictures are
certainly better and their articles are well
expressed, but it is astonishing to how
large an extent their professedly original
text is made up of reconnnendations of
particular dressmakcrs, hairdressers, per-
fumcrs and cosmetic manufacturers. If a.
woman writes to a reputable American
publication for advice concerning her com-
A VELVET AND LAWN COMBINATION.
plcxion or hair, she is given several bits of
practical advice, with perhaps a. harmless
prescription tacked on that she can have
made up at any Chemist’s shop. On the
contrary, the correspondents’ column of a
French fashion paper is a mere string of
addresses of business firms whose merchan-
dise is recommended by the person having
charge of that department of the journal
over his signature. The French are a.
thrifty nation, and it may be reckoned that
a comfortable income is netted from this
sort of journalism, which cuts both ways.
It is a very good sort of scheme from a.
financial point of View, but the American
public is better served, for our journal-
ists are paid at only one point on the route
and have no temptation to fill up their al-
lotted space with advertisements of par
ticular articles. After all, it is a great
thing to be an American—we all feel it
even when we are foolish enough not to ad-
mit it——and it is best of all to be an Amer-
ican woman, for she has the advantage of
living from infancy in an atmosphere of
mental freedom such as the women of no
other nation enjoy. N 0 amount of later
experience counteracts the early influence
of prejudice and narrow views, and Amer-
ican women can count upon themselves as
their best guides in spite of the superior
educational advantages of their European
sisters.
But we have wandered away from fash-
ions, which purport to be our main ob-
ject. We still look to Paris for them, and
the heart of Paris is the stage. From that
standard authority is derived the costume
of which a sketch is given. The skirt of
White lawn is trimmed with bands of em-
broidered insertion and an embroidered
flounce. The bodice is of malchite green
velvet, with a short, full basque. It has a
full vest of white silk muslin and velvet
rovers covered with guipure. The sleevcs'
reach to the elbow, and a. black satin girdle
encircles the waist. J UDIC CHOLLET.
London papers gravely announce the
“engaged mantle” as a New York novelty,j
worn, it seems, by young flancces. as a-
morc outward sign of their contemplation
of matrimony than the engagement ring.

too full nor too skimpy. Some are paneled,

face, but not with the painful smoothness
and regularity that characterized the days
of our grandmothers. A sketch is given
of a. simple coiffurc in which the hair is
waved all over the head, then parted in
the middle and drawn loosely to the back,
where it is coiled in a. figure 8, which is
secured. by an ornamental pin.

TO CATCH A BUYER’S’EYE.
Schemes of Sig-ewd Manufacturers That
Make Their Toilet Articles Sell.
What an excellent thing it is, from a
merely business point of view, to under-
stand something about human naturcl It
is easier and more profitable to cater to
the fancy than to win the favor of sober
judgment, and shrewd manufacturers
guide themselves accordingly. For in-
stance, can there be any doubt that the
enticing form in which they are put up
sells half the cosmetics that are now on the
market? One maker sends out his paste
or pomade, or whatever it is, in tiny yel-
LAVENDER CREPON GOWN.
low and brown earthen pots, with two
handles and a cover, and there is no way
of getting these enchanting pots except by
buying the cosmetic. Another adopts an
irresistible triangular bottle as a. vehicle
for his wares, and to see this bottle is to
desire it. so intensely that it is'bought at
once, necessarily with its contents. A
certain make of nail powder is put up in
little diamond shaped boxes, and it sells
not because the powder is so good, but be-
cause the boxes am so odd.
It is not cosmetic makers alone either
who know the value of a. taking outside to
their, goods. Cherries preserved in a bulb-
ous glass jar, with a bale, command a high-
er price than the same fruit in an ordinary
screw can. German mustard in curious
crockery jugs, with cars, is more attract—
ive tothe customer than German mustard
in bottles. Chianti is much improved by
being bottled in flasks netted with twisted
straw, and how much of the bewitchment
of champagne depends upon the silver foil
and the cork! Probably if it were served
to us from u. dclf pitcher it would be no
more alluring than sparkling cider.
Again, French dealers have a. peculiar
knack for putting up dress patterns in
boxes that renders the material doubly at-
tractive. A band of trimming tastefully
folded across the face of the goods, some
paper lace and fastenings of taffeta. ribbon
make up so pleasing a. whole that it is
bought out of hand. Our own dry goods
dealers line the articles of muslin under-
wear that they display with pink and blue
tissue paper, thereby securing purchasers
who would not have thought of buying if
the artful fashion of the garments’ expo-
surchad not caught their fancy.
Therefore, as the eye so craves indul-
gence, we will offer it a suggestion for a.
costume of lavender crepon. The skirt
and the sleeve puffs are accordion plaited.
The gathered bodice has a Shirred plastron
of white moussclino de lainc back and.
front, with bretclles of white guipure.
J UDIC CHOLLET.
If in doubt as to what material to buy
for your best gown, get crcpon. It and
grenadine will be favorite materials of the
season, at all events with those who can-
not afford silk and chifi‘on.
cred with white, green and gray linen and
plain scarlet ticking will make as pretty
covers for a. set of out of deer cushions as
can be desired—covers that will go through
rough usage and be none the worse for it.
Cool gowns go with the hammock, of
course—something made of ' pongeo or
linen lawn or some other thin stuff. The
sheer tropical fabric called pina would be
exactly the thing, but that is not so easily
obtained as swiss or silk muslin.
A sketch is given of a. negligco gown of
mauve mousseline do sole. It is Shirred
in at the waist to fit the figure, and the
bottom of the skirt is trimmed with a
flounce headed by a puffing. A wide dou-
ble berths. covers the shoulders. Violet
velvet ribbon is arranged in a choux with
long ends at the left side of the corsage.
A violet velvet collar surrounds the neck,
and the elbow sleeves are trimmed with
the same color. J UDIC CHOLLET.
JUST LIKE A MAN’S.
They Are Even Selling Women's Vests
Ready Made This Year. .
The delights of shopping are beginning
to be tempered by heat of the streets and
the closeness of the stores. Already there
is a. perceptible falling 011' of attendance in
the dry goods temples, and that in spite of
the bargains advertised and spread out to
induce custom. There are a great many
genuine bargains among the articles
shown, for all goods are being sold at un-
usually low prices this scaSon, and a com-
plete outfit from head to foot may be ob-
tained at a. inodemto expenditure by a
woman who knows where and howto buy.
A new departure is the selling of ready
made vests for women. They have come
into fashion within a. year, being produced
to fill the hiatus in the front of the open
blazer. They are made in every respect
like a. man’s waistcoat, except that they are
sometimes double breasted, and they come

in all colors and materials, scarlet cloth
being especially favored this season. A
stifl shirt bosom and collar, with a man’s
tie, are usually worn with them.
A large number of pretty, flufiy things
for the neck have appeared lately, lace,
chifi'on, ribbons, gimp and all sorts of
trimming being employed in their manu-
facture. These trifles are a dangerous in-
dulgence for a short necked woman, but
they do good service in softening the lines
of a. long neck. There is no end to the va-
riety of styles shown in this kind of goods,
for most of them are imported, and the
Parisian mind has particular ingenuity in
the invention of decorative adjuncts to the
toilet. A number of them are made with
a high standing collar, which is rather
burdensome in warm weather, but this
fashion in not invariable.
A very pretty yoke was soon made of
gathered black chiffon and bordered with
a full double ruffle of the same. A sketch
is given of a more elaborate arrangement,
the foundation of which is a yoke of black
moire trimmed with jet. It is surrounded-
with wide flounces of chantilly lace and
fastens in front .under a large lace bow
with very long ends. This makes a pretty 1
addition to a plain black costume.
