The seated figure in our illustration, which shows a simulated tunic trimming on the skirt, wears a pretty gown of pale grey summer-cloth, the bands on the skirt and on the gown bodice being of embroidered purple silk, while the vest in front is of pale green silk, and bands of cream-coloured silk embroidery on cream silk. The same embroidery heads the flounce at the bottom of the skirt. The lining of this gown is of purple silk; and it has a grey hat and grey and purple ostrich feathers to wear with it. The group of “Three New Gowns” begins to show some slight evidences of autumnal styles, especially the lady in the centre, who wears a light fawn-coloured braided jacket, with a skirt of light brown cloth, which is scalloped with velvet of a darker shade, the lower flounce being embroidered also in silks of a darker brown. This is a charming autumnal costume for short visits and journeys in England. The hat is a sailor one, trimmed as these hats generally are at present, with more or less elaboration. The present one has trimmings of yellow chiffon, with wheatears laid over it. The figure on the left hand wears an embroidered and ribbon-trimmed gown of black satin, the front of the skirt and vest being of pale lemon-coloured silk, with chiffon of the same hue, and bands of ribbon. The hat is of the new burnt straw, and is trimmed with white chiffon, with poppies and bunches of oats arranged amongst it. The right-hand figure wears one of the new scarf bodices, crossed over in front, a shirt-front of white silk, and a light green tie. The dress is of figured poplin, with bands of green silk on the skirt. The toque is of crinoline, with green and black chiffon, and black ostrich feathers. The newest style is to have a neck and waist-band of a different colour from the rest of the dress. For instance, if the gown be mauve, the velvet at the neck or waist may be of pale blue or pale green, and with a black gown orange is much worn. There has been a great feeling towards mixed colours, and it is quite wonderful how we have got over the old idea that it was both vulgar and ugly to wear many colours, or to mix two incongruous materials in one gown. The third illustration shows two charming gowns. The one on the extreme right wears one of the new satin foulards of dark blue, with a small white pattern on it. It is trimmed with light blue ribbon in scallops round the skirt and up the side, the sleeves, and the yoke. The last-named is of white silk, and so is the under-skirt. The second figure wears a dress of white figured muslin, the bodice trimmed with ruffles, and the vest is of tucked muslin. Straps of ribbon are on the top of the sleeve and round the points of the tunic and waist. The under-skirt is of muslin flounced, and with folds of muslin between each. This model would be suitable for a coloured muslin, as well as a white one.
