the lace, making the yellow doubly becoming. The silk Is shirrod over cords at the bust line and again above the waist the sleeves being shirred to correspond.

Parasols of red French cotton with embroidered oriental borders are to flash across the summer landscape.

The tint called champagne is next to white in favor and has the advantage that it will not sunburn or become discolored. Pale blue and reseda green are other fashionable colors. Among the novelties in gold trimmings are the cockades in white and gold, all gold or in straw and gold or black and gold. There are also the gold epaulets, gold cords, braids and tassels. A drapery of white or black lace is another of the season’s innovations.—Delineator.
