New Yoke, July 2.—It is not easy to fore
cast—in fabric or design—that which will
bo likely to becouie a popular “rase" in
this country. Every sea-wn there are sty les
and designs that >< take" and other* that il.e
anatnral death. The canvas materials were
in great force abroad last year; at* they
cover the counters of the great dry goods
bouses in New York at the present moment;
but tlw are not very generally bought or
soM. They form part' of the wardrobe of
the dressy your g or married lady who can
afford a variety or costumes; but th y arc
looked at, aelmired and left by the thrifty
matron who has to provide for herself anti
daughters.
Canvas dresses in seasonable styles aro
expensive; they must be made over silk; and
the Dimming part—which consists of
s.ripes—if velvet or plush in rich, con
trasting colors, is usually supplemented
by a vest or rovers of silk velvet, in . the
deepest shade of the stripe. This, and the
silk lining, brings the cost of materials
alone up to a high figure; and w hen to this,
the usual fifteen or twenty dollars for mak
ing is added, the outlay is more than is re
quired for a silk and it is not a silk dress al
ter all. This is an nnanswexahle position
with many women. ' If they aro to have a
nice dress and pay a good price, it must ho
■ilk and mnst show that it is silk.
Abroad a canvass dress such as I have
mentioned, would be considered suffi
ciently elegant for a “dinner" or for “best"
by the wives of well to do mercbunt» and
professional men: and more distinguished
than a plain silk; while the cost to them
would be reduced to probably half, by the
lessened cost of materials ami labor.
It is always a problem with us to find
suitable lining for woolen fabrics woven
with an open mesh. The value of them
does not justify the cost which we put upon
silk. In Europe, silky linings, light in lex-
tare, yet twilled and durable, have been
brought to perfection, while they add little
to the cost of the dress. But with ns—as
yet—good silk lining costs morn than a silk
faced "satin" or “velvet” ontside; because
the first is all silk; the second und third
twe-thirds cotton. The final difficulty
with the canvas materials is the making.
The combination stripes ri quire urtLtic
manipulation and are the despair of a com
mon-place worker. Iu fact, dress-making
has already become an art which demands
genius and i tiers its rewards to tho pos
sessors.
THE SOMMER SILK.
Tbo character of the summer silk of to
day has quite changed from that of a few
years ago Then, the single materials wire
■till in use. Dresses were not overlaid or
made double as now, nor so generally com
bined to form tbo trimming. The “sutn.
mer silk" in small check or hair-stiipe was
a standard fabric, very light in weight,
very much ruffled as was tho fushioiPln
those duys, and the ruffles often hound
with a color to given brightness and char
acter. Summer silks of this kind have
disappeared or are displayed at very much
reduced prices. Surahs have tuken their
place, foulards are revived nod soft China
silks; the latter for the wear of children
and young girls; and also as a foundation
for the black or cream lace drcsies which
have quite taken tho place of grenadine*.
The fa.-hion of sverlaying and combining
has stimulated iaventii® genius in the man-
ofacturc of light silk, wonlon and even cot
ton fabrics; und an infinite numler ot
lovely, transparent tissues lire shown for
covering aud combining or making up
lone, which are inexpensive excopt for
coat of making. For trimming and com
bining with nun’a veiling aud other thin
wools there is n new, soft, “frosted” silk,
with dull corrugated surface which h.n.
however, a rich effect. It w guplayed in
eUAhh IrtnUM, amber, pals salmon pink
snd yellow, and la Used like Crepe de
Chine for full vest and dr.tpcrie*. Combi
nation* •>! this Hina are Vvty pr. ity for
S ng gills; aud It they can m ike them up
nseVvts the cost is slight. But married
tl find them of little service and prtfer
for summer dress occasions two toilettes,
one of black lace and one of cream hum
over twilled foulard of China silk; made so
that they can he adapted to differmt pur
poses. Two dresses of this kind,
cleverly constructed, will not cost more if
as much, ns one oM-fashiomd grenadine of
good quality, made oversilk, and trimmed
a* formerly with lace or fringe or both. The
secret is this. In the making of the mod-
■ eru lace dress only “piece" lace is used ; ex
cept upon the sleeve*, and even here, trim
ming lace is not nices*ary. Piece lace,
Bouncing and thin, lace like tissues are
now produced at very low rates ; from
twenty-five centsjffor Madras muslin to
Mienty-five centi for imitation Chantilly or
Spanish lace. Seven yards will “drape" a
driss ; ten of fonhird or thin surah at sixty
to seventy cents per yard will make the tm-
derdriss and less will be requited if a yard
aud a half of better quality or of satin ia
employed for a narrow, knife-pleating
around thebottom. Thus, fitteen dollars
will pure hone the materials for a dress,
which, when tastefully made, looks as if it
cost seventy dive to a hundred; and often
does, in the haudi.of an expensive dress
maker.
AUTISTIC DRKSSMXKTSO.
The difference between the best and the
v orst may be all a matter of detail; both
11tii g from the same foundation—that is,
a i (.tract outline- ami one producing lines
of beauty, while the other will turn out a
t; .in » all patches, or rigid as a wooden
block.
“THE HACK*" AHD “SADDLES,"
Almost tbo same words will describe the
dr.** of to-lay ami that of live or ten years
u,'o; yet the effect is entirely different, sim-
pty Lecuuse the drapery has been loosened;
th" ‘ tie buck” tapes turned into straps or
“sad lies" aud the fullness lifted into the
si ml lance of an expensive tournure. The
straight tolds at the hack of the skirt aro u
revival in the direction of simplicity ns well
iih convenience. Bat they are not universal.
They ore considered suitable for the you g
»ml for simple country styles, and are sup-
pi mented by enormous hows and wide
msbes. The differences are often made by
a lopp or a touch, taking in something her* 1 ,
letting it oat there, aud, above all, differ-
eminting it from a similar style.
The aim of the dressmaker without ge
nius is to iuiilate the commonplace; the
aim of the dressmaker with genius is to de
part from the commonplace and to impart
originality to all her pioduotions. Here is
a field for our girls far more worthy of their
powers in painting plaques or pails, and
what is better still, vastly more remunera
tive. Why should the rich cream of this
occupation be skimmed off by those who
do not possess half the capacity? A girl
who had .studied drawing, who understood
the anatomy of tho arm, would never
threaten paralysis by cutting a straight,
tig^it sleeve, nor would she consider the
foundation form—either as a whole or iu
part —a* something dependent upou fashion
and subject to its caprices. The anatomy
of the figure being always the same, the
uulliit.-s of its covering should bo the same;
the changes and new departures being ul-
wuys in the line of detail. It is upon this
basis e f essential principles and in connec
tion with drawing that dressmaking should
he taught to girls in our public schools, not
embarrassed by the minutiu of changing
and fluctuating fashion.
THE VEST
is protean in the number of shapes it as
sumes; aud looking at it from a general and
inexperienced point of view, the different
styles seem to bo without significance and
to be common to every occasion and pur
pose. But this is not by any meuos'the
case. The plain vest is for tbo street; the
full habit vest for cotton morning gowns;
the loose, droop,ug “Moliere” vest is re
served for children and tea gowns. The
unwritten laws with regard to the detail of
clothes ate now more right than the written
ones.
The fresh vest of the season is the pretty,
clean looking vest of white pique, fastened
with small, round pearl buttons and worn
with modest, nutriwmed costumes of gray
or coppery brown tweed. The jacket, close
fitting, closed at the throat and the skirt
plaited, with striped or kilted pauels; or
perhaps open and uuited by cords over the
plaiting at the side. These costumes are
excellent for traveling and seem to have
largely taken the place of twilled vesta—one
white, one buff, one of the material.
Hut* are not now made to match, they aro
too high and would be too heavy. Dark
straw or straw to match can be found readily
and is more convenient.
A material somewhat lighter in texture,
but dark or neutral in color, and very ser
viceable, consists of wool checked in almost
invisible line s and very smsll Hqutgrcs with
linen. It is soft, but firm in textnre; light
in weight snd inexpensive—only 30 cents
per yard. It may be made np v.ith plain
saline or Enroll plaiting* utnl full vest, aud
does not tequire a skirt liuing aniens ns n
foundation. There is not the tame objection
to the introduction of the linen into the
body of the wool a* to the mixture of silk
and wool, ami it reduces cost and weight
while not impairing its usefnl qualities. It
is usual to make up this material with plain
satiue or Surah for plaitiugs and vest iu the
ahade of the linen lines, always darker than
the body part of the fuhtic, but it conld bo
just as well completed by plain vests of
piqitf or wash leather and a few bronzed
buttons put on in two* and threes.
cooz, COLORS.
Cool effects are uow/sougUt fur. The
fiery reds snd brilliant yellows have given
place to grey bints, mushroom browns,
p.de ecru, tinted white and lilac. Gray anil
lilac and gray and white ate a remiuise nee
Ilf the stylca of half a century ago-which
have been revived occasionally since and
ara al ways suggestive ot the fuirness and
sweetness, the freshness and the coolness
ot theyonng summer. Lillies who go to
the country need only a thin tweed or
checked wool for traveling and cool days;
a conple of cotton print or gingham dresses
for mourning;u liluj tmAliu and linen lawn
for afternoon wear and a half worn silk (or
Sundays and occasion*, to be well fitted
out, ao far as dr. su * aro concerned. For
the rest, one black or brown and one white
straw lnit, a black ttohn, a gray duster or
nlster, a stria 1 sun uuibrelli, a pongee pa a.
■ol, a Japanese fan, a pair of black jersey
milts, a sack for cool mornings, one pair of
kul and one pair of silk and linen glove*
and the whole outfit is complete at a cost Of
filty dollars or less, If the Udy is her own
dressmaker. *
THE COST or A COTTON oowx,
Very good and pretty materials can now
be ubbuued at a very moderate price, pro
vided they are not the “novelties" ot the
season. But fashionable making brings
them np to bigb figures. Nor are the bigb
charges conlluid to imparting modiste* and
drersmskers upon the exclusive side streets
givnig upon Fiiffi or Madison aveones. Leas
exalted personages-that is, dressmakers
occupying room* near laird avenue—sup
port cnildien, and perhaps husbands, on
uie results ot their lab jr and that of the
girls they employ, charging fifteen to
iwentj-five dollars lot making a
suit or silk dress, and ten to
for the simplest cotton.
lYork-Chose who “go out-by the day” for
dteaamaking or to “cut and fit." A com
petent woman who worka is this way earn*
two and a half to three dollars per day anil
her mid-day meal ; perhaps also, her din
ner in the evening, and it is-extremely diffi
cult to secure them, all their time being
filled weeks aud months in advance. It
was remarked by one ot them recently that
times had greatly changed ; that in the very
first families, lathes “sat right down" and
worked with oer steadily till all was done ;
whereas she used hardly to see them ex
cept when fitting thorn, and bed much fewer
customers of that class. This is enoonrag-
ing; and now, if educated women will enter
tile field of dressmaking and being their en
ergy and trained fa uiltiea to bear upon it,
we ahull soon cense to want to go to Paris
to get a dress made and “oar girls” will be
so much the richer ; and better still, inde
pendent of fortune.
XXE SHOP FROCK.
It may.be said, “Why pay these high
prices for making cheap anmmer cottons
nuil wools, when they can aotnally bo
bought roady made in anv large shop for
the cost of msking?" That auy woman
should do so, i specially one who earns her
money, or with whom it is not plentiful
seems absord. But although tho fact does
operate agaiuat dressmakers and in favor of
the shops, still there are many women who
would hke to do it, who never buy a “really
mado” dress if they can help it; the three
prineipal reasons being, first, the difficulty
of obtaining right kinds and colots of ma
terial; second, a good fit, and third, good
finish. Stock suits and costumes are made
of left over materials. They are ent dn
general principles: not in new styls or to
please individualized tastes; und as* they are
made by cheap workers, the workinauship
is very imperfect and requires much subse
quent “editing."
White, ready-made dresses and costumes
are too often a delusion and a snare. They
are advertised for what they are not; are
either puerile or elaborated to such an ex
tent with ribbons or embroidery that plain
women cannot wear them and require all
the resource* i t a French laundry to make
them clean when they are dirty. But the
beauty of modern embroidery npou tinted
cottons is very tempting, while its cheap
ness renders it available for every one who
can afford to dress at all.
One way of utilizing then,—perhaps the
easiest—is to buy a "robe." They can be
purchased with flouncing, or an “all over"
embroidered shirt from three to five dollars.
The “robe” will make two pretty skirts and
for two dollars to two snd a half con be
bought very well cat and well made sacques,
shaped in to the flgure and trimmed length
wise and as a border with insertion und em
broidery. No one, whose time is worth
anything, would make them for the money;
nor could the material alone be purchased
at retail prices for much less; and thus for
from eight to ten dollars, anil even less,
with only tho trouble of patting together
the simple skirts, which require no draping
or over-making, two pretty, white, house or
morning dresses may lie secured, which are
good for frequent wear through the sum
mer for two or three years.
MCTCRESQOE LITTLE GIRLS.
Summer dressing in the country is charm
ing this year, because delicate tints iu cot
tons and white wools are so much use'. It
is a real pleasme to see the return to the
straight, simple skirt; because it is such n
comfort to the tired, and a welcome relief
from the weight and burdensome character
of the "costame." Figured cottons should
not be made np with a basque or plaited
(Norfolk) jacket. They abuuid b« made
with gathered bodice, belted in to the
waist and English “bonsemsid H skirt;
straight at the back and fall, but wth an
spr<?n turned over and “tueked in" on one
side.
Th (re never was a time when wlilto was'so
much used or adopted for so many pur
poses; from the white cotton skirt and
sacqtio to the India muslin enriched with
exquisite embroidery and lino Valenciennes;
from tbo tinted flannel and vicuna cloth
lined with corded ailk, to the satin and
lace, which is tbo regulation evening toi
lette. This refinement of color is the' dis
tinguishing mark of high fashion, and tho
best “society.” The great majority cannot
afford to wear whito dresses that will not
wash, or that cost almost as much to clean
as to buy new.
Tho out-door life obtains a picturesque
ness belonging solely to these later' 1 tears',
from the quaint dressing of the children;
particularly the little girls. The quaint
medieval or early English frocks und bod
ices, the "grannj" bonnet*or large “witch"
bats are all reproductions ot Christmas
pictures and story books, which havogrown
out of the Greenaway idea. But they aro
charming, all the sumo; and will influence
in indirect ways the art and dress of the
future. Jessie Juke.

Washirotor, July 2.—One of the most
frequent visitors at the White House dur
ing the pest three weeks bus been a tall,
olive-skinned, dreamy-eyed girl, who i*
generally accompanied to the grounds by a
venerable old gentleman, with one of the
sunniest faces iu the world. The girl is
kl:ss Helen Bancroft, and the old gentle
man ia her grandfather, the historian. Mias
Bancroft’s calls are not formal, or in the
line of society etiquette. As soon as she
enters the White House she is shown to
Mrs. Cleveland's apartments, and she sel
dom leaves short of an hour or two. As
this occurs several times a week, it is ap
parent that the two ladies must have acme
interest for each other.
Since tbe first reception after the return
from Deer Park, tbe mistress of the White
House and ibo historian's granddaughter
have grown as affectionate as a pair of
school girls. Mrs. Cleveland saw Miss Ban
croft for tbe first time at the reception, and
fell iu love with her at first sight, as girls
fail in love with each other. She took oc
casion before the reception WbS over to get
her iu a corner, have a chat with her. aud
get her promise to come to the White
House the next day. The friend -hip seems
to have been mutual, for Miss Bancroft is
now the most earnest admirer the Presi
dent's wife bos at the capital, while Mr*.
Cleveland speaks of the dark eyed girl us
the sweetest creature in Washington.
To those who are acquainted with both
ladies, the friendship between them will be
a mutter of surprise, There are not, per
haps, two more dissimilar natures among
all the society women in Washington. They
are different in person, in temperament, in
tastes—in fact, in all the qualifications
which are popularly supposed to draw peo
ple together. If there was ever a case of
extremes meeting, this is one. Mrs. Cleve
land, as has been often written, is of
medium height, with a bright, vivacious
face, iaugbidg eyes, and lips tbatcome very
near pouting. Miss Bancroft is very tall for a
woman, has a dark, Spanish face, serious in
cast, with black eyes, whose expression hss
in it something of the dreamer's, even
while she is smiling. Mrs. Cleveland lias
high animal spirits, loves life, action and
movement, while her frignd, since her ar
rival in Washington a year ago, has avoided
society as mach as possible and devoted
most of her time to study and to aiding her
grandfather in his literary work. Mrs.
Cleveland's tastes have become pretty well
known since Bbe has been in Washington,
so that tbe contract between tbe new
friends will seem moro marked wben a
glance is taken at Miss Bancroft. The girl
has been a unique flgure since her ar
rival hero. She had spent her life from her
infancy in Germany, she had studied under
the best German scholars, was a fervent
lover of German literature and contracted
in a noticeable way the German manner.
By the death of her parents she was left
alone, and came to America to live with
her grandfather. Every thing here seems to
her as strange as to he foreign born. She
speaks English fluently, ns her father care
fully taught hA the language of her
country, hut she had only a vague idea of its
institution*, manners, anil customs. Wben
she was introduced into society by her
grandfather, she created a sensation, not
so much on account ot her beauty, although
that was greatly admired, as on account of
her unique conversation and mental traits.
Her conversation, while not marked by
pedantry, had an clevuted tone which
caused her to be looked-upnn as a curiosity
by the women whoso ta'k is confined tn
comments aud gossip about the events of
society. The old historian grew exceed
ingly fond of her. He once more threw
open his doors to receptions and soon
drew a select circle aronnd the
beautiful girl The literary people
here are her greatest admirers.
She bos in her a vein of poetry. A smsll
volnmo of poems in German from her pen
is frequently shown by her grandfather to
bis literary friends. Ono of her poems, an
Ode to Goethe, received very high pruise
from the Nord-Znntiche Xeitong, an author
ity on literary affairs in Germany. Miss
Bancroft has gone into society seldom of
lsto. She likes books better than social
obit-chat, aud would rather read to her
grandfather and help him in bis labor than
figure in the gay throng. The old historian
is fairly wrapped up in her. She is the
sol ice of his declining years, and nodangb
ter was ever more de'oted.

II.T WnuderlnE* With Hostile Indians.
Tlio Mountain lUndezvous.
A lelipr.im tj the New York Herald from
Tombstone, A. T , July 1, says; The tall
story of lVck's little niece, rescued from
hostile Indiumi by Mexican*, throws con
siderable light on the manner in which tbe
redskins in >rk their trail. Trinidad N.r-
dsn, aged IU yean, tho retened girl, sty*
that during her captivity the band was
continually traveling, bnt always stopped
for meals. They had plenty of tortillas,
coffee, beef, snd nearly every day beef
steak, of which she was always given plenty.
8he never saw any one killed bnt often
heard firing and was told that it was Lucks
killing beef. Bhe never saw soldien or any
one dating her captivity. The neatest she
came of eeeing anybnly wee one night
wben the Indians passed so near Magdalena
that she heard the bond playing in tbe plaza
From what the child further states the In
diana must have carried her over a large
region of country. At one time they
•ere in the mountains where she
saw a Urge number of vquaw*. On an
other occasion the band camped on
the top of a high mountain where they
made a big fire aud smoke. O l the follow-
ing night a great number of Indians came
in and a man in command, evidently Gero-
nimo, sent th-m away, five and six together,
in fifteen or twenty different directions.
Sfie thinks there were about thirty in the
hand she traveled with, bnt she was always
kept in tho rear ami conhl not tell very
sccnrately their number nor what they did.
She wss well treated and given plenty to eat
every day. The greatest hardship she expe
rienced was being compelled to ride bare
back day after day tL'rough brush and over
a rough country. She says wben the Mex
icans attacked the Indians at tUracachi the
main body bad gone on ahead and only
about seven or efgjit of the band were pres
ent The stories of bail treatment by the
bocks, she states, are all false. The Indian,
•ehlom spoke to her during her stay with
them. The squaws would not let tbe yonng
men come near her. The acting Governor
of the St.te of Sonora bos sent a request to
Magdalena that the child be brought to Uer-
mo.it,>, where she is regarded as t great
heroine.
