White nuns yelling. cashmere or al
batross cloth, trimmed with white lace
and broad sashes of white satin or
moirc, are favoritc materials for grad
| uating dresses this season. Not ono
dress Of this description xhibited thus
far has been made with even dcmi-
train. Every dress Is sheet. and nearly
every one is made with a pointed bodice
and painters.
The favor which foulard enjoys is per-
haps due to the fact that n dress made
of it is always bright and pretty in APP
pearancc; it Is much cooler and pleas
antcr for summer wear than gros-g ain
silk; it lends itself 10 any sort OF drap-
ing or trimming, being supple, ,ct firm
in texture, aud Is much less liable to
crumplc or grow limp thin lawn or mus
lin. and the silk is so light that 1t proves
q happy medium in dress Tor our iitful
climate.

Of lace. This nc. is cut in plain prin-
cesse style over foundation Of white

bertha Of painted Span sh lacc. These
exquis to dresses are among he most
beautifal ana becoming Of summer tot
lets.

the :" Dircctoire. and is made OF white
Renaissance lace. with very opcn-work

White China Grape shawls are being
utilized for polonaises. and are made up
over underskirts OF silk or satin. A
very simple vet elegant one made up
over an underskirt Of peach blossom
satin had the front Of the polonaise cut
in a long point, thus showing the rich
embroidery Of the shawl corner to fine
advantage The narrower embroidery
formed border all around the polo
naise. The fringe OF the shawl was re-
placed by wide lace of the creamy tint
Of the Grape. ABORTION OF the embroid-
cry upon the other half Of the shawl was
sacrificed to decorate the short sleeves
and bodice.

giant costume for child ia made OF rus

The fronts of the rcdingotc were crossed
and open at the foot. Tho deep Charles
III. collar of velvet was cut in squares
and faced with satin. IN suit was a
soft Moorish cap Of russet-brown satin.
trimmed with velvet. with plume and
tips OF the same dark hue, shading to
gold. This suit was designed for a
carriage dress for cool weather ut the
seaside.
Comparatively few women can ap-
propriately or becomingly wear the hair
| in Greek style with its accompanying
| filet Of ribbon or silvcfcd bands. In the
first place, the hair should be very
abundant; in the second place, the feat
ures should be classic in outline, and.
lastly, the face should be beautiful, or
ut least attractive enough to bear the
test of this severe style OF couture. Tho
women of Greece, WHO adopted this
fashion Of banding down the waves Of
hair, did SO to keep in position their
ovcrabundant locks; but when one sees
''thinly settled" wisp-like head of
hair tightly banded down a la Roman
dame or woman OF the French Direc-.
toire period, one is led to suppose that
the wearer Of the filet has determined
by this means to secure what few re-
naming locks ungenerous nature has
left her.-N Y. EUc,iyy Post.
