FASHION NOTES.
A new shade of pale gold color takes the name of “ dawn.” Gold bangles are the only jewellery much worn in street costume. Tournnres are made more bouffant and back draperies grow fuller. Porcelain blue is a lovely shade for a cheviot travelling suit for a young person. Boating suits show great improvements this season both in designs and making up. All ladies wear outdoor wraps when in the street, no matter how -warm the weather. Valenciennes (imitation) remains the favourite lace for white-dotted Swiss and mull dresses. Ombre watered silks in new designs in the shaded and watered effects appear among late importations. Ch*quer-board patterns in both wool and cotton materials are much used in forming parts of costumes. Pongee hunting jack.ts worn with black or coloured skirts make pretty and modest morning toilets at watering places. Sewing silk grenadine with square meshes, canvas grenadine, and black all wool nun’s veiling are the proper materials for summer mourning.
