Now that Easter is over the fashiona-
h1as resnme their usual amusements,
and dinner and evening dresses will be
snhiects of design. The most elegant
dreSses will be Chamberg gauze and
prenadine in broad stripes of white with
LIGHT blue, spring green, rose color or
violet. Narrow stripes are suitable for
the street, but more stylish effects are
produced for indoor dresses of solid
strines of not less thon two inches, and
sometimes as broad as the palm OF
your hand. 1t is to be remarked that
these are striking and admirable in eff
| feet only when seen In light colors and
| thin fabrics. The newest goods for
evening dress are the China crepes in
white rose color, pale buff, and tender
green and deep azure. These are espe-
cIallv adapted to the different styles of
dress now in fashion. An elegant dress
of this material, which is In favor only
with most exclusive fashtonables, rath-
er more than heavy silks is thus de-
signed. 1t is to be worn by tall women
of elegant proportions. The front of
the skirt is perfectly plain gored

cred with four deep flounces
rounding tunic fashion to the hips,
where they curve shellwise into an
enormous rosette. Above these floun-

the delicate Vatican shades. One pat
tern IL silver grey rose color, pale
pea green, and black. Another is
milky blue black straw and pale green,
each separated by thread OF white.
The Vatican colors are the favorite
fashion, but the least that can be said
Of them Is that in half-inCh stripes they
are not effective. These pale colors
want breadth to give effective contrast.
A genuine Vatican costume has skirt
of broad stripes of black and white-the
latter brocaded with figures in gold
satin. Above this is worn skirt OF
pale green satin muck putfed, and over
this d loose robe OF rose colored gaze de
chGm6erg, Topped at the side by broad
satin ribbon. This robe is Worn loose,
closed at the throat only, showing green
satin bodice underneath. The appro-
pirate fold is laid in the back, and is
trimmed with knots of pink satin rib
bon. The hat worn with this costume
Is Shepherdess, shape of crinoline or
curled straw, with garland of delicate
summer flowers. For evening dress
tiny hat of white crepe is set on one
side, ornamented with loops Of rose
colored ribbon and garland of fine va.
ried flowers. This style, like the POM
padour, is only suitable for indoor or
carriage costumes. For any one who
fancies the Waltean style In simpler
taste, gay striped petticoat with over
dress of silver grey or black gaze, may
be worn with a soft silk scarf, barred
with the Vatican colors, laid in plat
In the back from which it floats broad
