SIMPLE PRINT DRESSES.

Housemaid's print of tbe oldfasbioaed kind in homely colours like lavender, pink, blue, Bnd buff, is tbe latest fancy among smartlydressed girls for ooantry wear, gays tbe London Daily Mail of August 13 lib. The dress is made with the utmost simplicity, sometimes merely deeply hemmed at tbe «dge of the skirt, in ether oases finished by means of three broad tuoks called by tbe modistes plis religieuse. Tbe corsage is equally simple; in faot tbe dress resembles as maob as possible a housemaid's morning gown, though it is slightly glorified by paffed elbow sleeves finished off with a little white cambric embroidery. Bound the throat is worn what is known as tbe Byron collar, a shallow turned-over affair made of embroidered cambric. To perfect the picture, the hair ought to be dressed Madonna-wise, with a centre oartingg and the tresses Bhould be taken beneath the ears, so as to completely cover them, and be knotted at the back above the collar. ■ But even without this striot exactitude to tbe pictuie, the housemaid's dress looks simple, cool, and eminently becoming for country near.
