plalts, from the reverse of which tsl
real point lace at twenty dollars pei
yard, headed by a bias fold of the ma.
tetial, neatly bound with the came, al.
ternately knotted and box plated; an
exquisite wreath of lilies and orange
blossoms depends from the side seam,

illusion; the ends are simply kuotted
and fastened at the right side by bou-
quet of orange blossoms and lilies.
The corsage of the dress is made OF low
neck and short sleeves, by the brides
express order. This the Nine. wished
to be distinctly understood as the low
corsage is not considered en- regle here
II is trimmed with point lace and head
ing to match the revers. In place OF
buttons, Lucca bows are used to fasten
the corsage.
The bridal veil ia cut in form, to fall
from the coronal of orange blossoms
and lilies, over the lace to the waist and
TO the bottom Of the skirt at the back.
Some slight idea OF the cost Of this
costume may be formed, when we state
that there are TWENTY-FIVE yards OF satin,
at twelve dollars per yard, eight yards
Of lining silk and four yards OF lace
used, besides the usual Innings and the
flowers Remember, also, that rhe lace
cost twenty dollars per yard. l almost
forgot TO mention that the back breadths
and train of this dress are lined and
wsdded like quilt This gives the
satin a so't. rich look, and prevents it
from breaking into little wrinkles.

cut in wide points, ten inches deep
caught up and pulled slightly by bias
bands of the same; each point and the

bottom of the train at the back. A
small overskirt, en- toJiier, trimmed. to
match the skirt, with the addition Of
plain and crimped fringe This dress
has high corsage for dinner, also a
low one Tor evening wear, and costs the
modest little sum of three hundred dol
lars.
Next comes a walking suit of olive
green sicilene cloth. Two founcas,
SIX inches deep, bound and headed with
velvet, of an olive brown shade, trims
the back hreaiths; one tiounce extends
entirely arou-d the shirt; the ront is

A carriage dress of peacock blue, gros

site. An evening dress of Nile green,
trimmed with q darker shade, and
magnificent black silk, which | have
not space to describe, complete the suits
furnished by Madame Waring. We
must not omit to mention that hats,
bonnets, fans and gloves to match, ac-
conranv these costumes.
The dress tor the brides mother is a
rich black MORE antique skirt, court
train; waist, basque, with round points,
trimmed with thread lace and exquisite
gimp and jet ornaments, also furnished
bv the same establishment.
In relation TO bonnets, The most prom
inent shapes are the Marie Antoinette,
TO be worn either as a round hat or
bonnet; the Royals and the GreriHe,
both round hats, and the Louvre, a
bonnet. The materials used are OF the
best, and the prices range accordingly.
1t is almost impossible to buy bonnet
or. hat at any OF the first class millinery
establishments for less than twenty-five
or thirty dollars. Many OF the wives
and daughters OF our well.to-do citizens
make their own honnets in order to
AVOID paving such ruinous prices.
