This house has always received the first premium at all the expositions, and is the recipient of the oxlt award over all competitors for patterns of fash ions at the Centennial xnd Paris expositions. Misses’ Costumes. Fio. 1—Figured and plain goods com bine very effectively in this way, but the charming arrangement illustrated shows the “Hilda” dress, made in a highly picturesque and becoming fash ion. The full nainsook skirt is made of “Kursheedt’s Standard” cluster tuck ing, the jaunty little basque is of dark red cashmere, and the sash of surah Tbe Beige Tints. The pretty beige and almond-tinted dresses are revived, and find as mnch favor as they met ten or twenty-five years ago. In fact, the “stone” and “twine” tints have periodic fits of com ing to the front, and then disappearing in the interest of something more pro nounced. The difficulty about these lovely shades is, that they require something to give them character. They are refined and delicate looking, but flat unless enriched with embroidery, or made up with flounces and lace. Ten years ago the contrast of such tints with brown was popular; but now shading, or the addition of embroidery in self or jardinier colors are preferred. matching it perfectly. The basque in front in Zouave shape over made of the tucking, and the uk. piccm fall in moderately long and full postil ion plaits over the sash. It is completed by a deep collar edged with embroidery, and the sleeves are finished with em broidery to correspond. Pattern for from eight to twelve. Price 25 cents. Fio. 2—Gives a pleasing front view of the “Fleurette” costume made of pale blue surah, “Kursheedt’s Stan dard” Oriental lace net in cream-color with narrow flbunclngs to match, and a vest and collar of dark blue velvet. The back pieces of the waist are cut the entire length of the gar ment, and a full breadth of lace net is arranged in thu skirt portion of the drapery. The graceful disposal of lace garniture and drapery in front is clearly shown in theillustration.The flounces are surah and lace alternat ing. The fronts are trim med with lace, and the velvet vest and collar are rendered more effective by contrast. , Patterns for fourteen and sixteen years. Price 26 cents. I,orrnlne Costume.

The front of the The most humorous member of a dog jts his tail. over garment describes very short jack et fronts opening over a plaited vest which is confined at the waist by a broad, plaited belt, but the side forms and back pieces fall in broad plaits to the lower edge of the underskirt. The front drapery consists of a round apron looped high at the sides, and the skirt is trimmed with a narrow protective plait ing and seven bias folds slightly over lapping. One material may be used throughout if preferred, but effective combinations of silk and velvet, wool and velvet, plain and brocaded silk, and plain and embroidered cashmere, bison cloth or flannel can be made in this way with very stylish results. The trim ming should always corresond with the goods selected. Price of patterns 30 cents each size. Idoeuea Basque*. A practical and attractive design adapted to all varieties of dress goods. The fronts terminate in pointed shape and the sides are nicely curved, while the extra fullness below the waist line in the back is laid in plaits on the inside which gives a styl ish and graceful appearance to the back. Passementerie ar ranged as illustrated is very effective on some materials. The adaptability of the design to all kinds and qualities of dress goods renders it a desir able model, and the trimming should be selected to contrast or correspond with the goodB chosen. This combines nicely with the “Ohrystenah” skirt. Two yards and seven-eighths of goods twenty-four inches wide will be required for a medium size, two yards and one-quarter of passementerie and three-eighths of a yard of velvet will be sufllcient to trim as illustrated. Price of patterns, 25 cents each size. Washing Dresses. In washing mateiials—cottons, linens and others—the variety was never great er than this season, and there are so many that are dressy looking and at the same time serviceable, that no young girl need be without a summer ward robe, for a very little effort would ena ble her to supply herself. At the same time, we warn them against the cheap cottons, which are neither worth the making nor the trimming that is some times put upon them, and are only fit for the most ordinary purposes. A two-toned zephyr gingham, in blue or heliotrope, looks well with knife-plait ing of itself or tucking for ornamenta tion, and may be worn with a lttle fichu of black lace, and black chip hat or bon net. A blue and white cotton is trim med with blue and white embroidery, and a gray-blue linen with white linen embroidery on gray-blue ground. Seersucker makes a very useful every day washing dress, and rosy be utilized for excursions because it stands any amount of weather. The simplest styles are always best for simple materials, and a straight skirt tucked at the bot tom, a belted bodice tucked back and front, and trimmed at the neck and sleeves with torchon lace, is a good for mula for girls. Seersucker shows great er variety in its lines of color this season, and is, therefore, more desirable. Plain gray cottons and gray-blue are made up with red to look very pretty for country wear. The red sometimes forms a frilling over which the contrast ing color is cut out in points or shell shapes, while upon the bodice it forms a tucked vest. Another fashion is to trim it on the basque or blouse in the form of a handkerchief, the points of which are brought down in front, and in this case, it is also used for cuffs and the collars, and for the hat or cap. Lawns with small figures are made up with open V-shaped bodices edged with lace and belted with soft silk the color of the figure; or they are fin ished with Swiss bodices in silk or velvet. Some very pretty white and tinted mus lins are made with tucked skirts, full bodices and full sleeves, with straight over vest of ruby or pale gold silk, satin or velvet. These are rev movable and are not at all ob ligatory—they can be worn or not, as feeling dictates. Flnerette Costume. A dressy design, specially suited to summer fabric, where embroidery or lace can be used for trimming or for a combination of plain and figured goods. The polonaise back is united to jacket ronts which disclose a tight-fitting pointed vest, and all the skirt that is visible is trimmed with gathered ruffles. The size for sixteen will require three yards and three-eighths of plain goods, twenty-four inches wide, and two yards and one-half of figured goods of the same width to make the polonaise and drapery. One yard of velvet will be sufllcient for the vest, collar and revere, and two yards and one-eighth of narrow embroidery % will trim the front and sleeves. Eight yards of wide embroid ery and one yard and five-eighths of the material will trim the skirt as represent ed ; or, if the material is used for all the flounces, three yards and seven-eighths will be required. The underskirt should be of lining and will take four yards. Patterns for fourteen and sixteen years. Price 25 cents each. A Skin of Beauty Is a Joy Forever. DR. T.
