MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Tortoise Is the newest shade of brown. Chantilly net is coming Into favor for veils. . Among straw hats the chip directoire leads. Rouleaux of satin form one of the fashionable methods of trimming. Taffeta gowns, both plain and checked, are to reign supreme this summer. Petticoats of china silk are found both in black and white and pongees in natural color and gun metal. A novelty in high priced parasol handles is a straight design of chipped pearl colored to match the tinting of the sunshade. The rage for gold, which has been so marked a feature in Parisian trimmings all the season, has now given place to one for silver. Sleeves are immense, and most of them are made in open balloons. Others are balloon shaped, closed at the hand, and fitted with a stiff lace cuff which may be slashed or may be closed. Inside the stiff lace cuff there is a soft lingerie cuff.—Brooklyn Eagle.
