Fashions.

Tarlatan and tulle over silk are made up
for summer full dress. The prettiest mod
els have the round Josephine waists, with
wide belts and elaborately trimmed skirts.
a pretty dress worn by bridemaid at
summer wedding illustrates these. 1t is of
white tarlatan over white silk, trimmed
with yards upon yards of blue forget-me-
nots. The silk skirt is merely foundation
for the tablier and pleatings of tulle and
the flower garlands. Around the bottom
of the skirt are six rows of tarlatan pleat-
ings laid closely together. The tablier is
Grecian shape-longer on the left side than
on the right-and consists of easy folds
draped across the silk, trimmed with three
long garlands, placed quite far apart and
arranged diagonally. All that part of the
skirt that is not covered by this apron has
pleatings extending from the belt to the
foot; down the middle of the back are
clusters of long loops of white gross grain
ribbon about two inches wide.
The low, round, close-ftting waist is
| fastened behind, and, in order to make it
fit well. is separate from the skirt, and has
long pieces extending over the hips, but
which are concealed beneath the skirt
The tarlatan is seved plainly over the silk
lining, being taken in with every seam of
| the darts and side FORMS The Greek
bertha is made of folds of white lisse, and
has rows Of finely crimped iisse at the top
and bottom; the sleeves are half-lOng, and
are pufied with three rows of crimped lisse
on the edge. \ garland Of forget-menots
begins in the middle of the back, passes
over the right arm, and extends diagonally
across the front of the corsage, ending low
down on the left hip, thus making four
diagonal vines in the front of the dress.
The wide belt is three broad folds of white
gros grain, fastened behind by a cluster of
gros grain ribbon loops like those that
trim the back of train. A spray of the
blue flowers trims the hair, which is tied
back by white gros grain ribbon.
