Some of the New Creations Which
Fashion Approves.
Tailer-made dresses are as much in de-
mand as ever. As they can only be prop
erly cut by a few of the best Partisan
houses they retain their stamp Of elegance,
and will never be commonplace. One of
the newest of these dresses has plated
skirt of gray striped goods, with black
threads running through the stripes. The
draped unique forms a long apron. with a
shawl point in trout and the back draping
is arranged in close plaits. The waist is
cut like a riding habit, and is open in shawl
shape to the waist. 1t has large collar
and revers, and closes on the lower part by
means of double row of buttons The back
has two very narrow flaps which cross each
other To relieve the great simplicity of
this dress there is a small plaStron added
in front of the waist where the jacket is
open between the reyerS of black and white
checked surah, producing the effect of a
mans shirt. This front piece is slightly
gathered around the neck. A small turned
down collar of surah falls over the straight
collar. The tight-ftting sleeves have
double rows of three buttons and Surah
cuffs, which turn back over the sleeves.
much alike, with some slight changes in the
details OF the waists. Many kinds of hats
and bonnetS are used with these dresses
the ''Bolero." 1t is arranged in several
ways. A very fine straw is usually chosen.
and the brim is not covered. In this case
the only trimming consists of number of
ribbon loops. There is also in vogue a
turban-Shaped hat of a combination of
straw in open work and jet beads, which
form points all around the brim. The
trimming on the left side consists of corn
colored satin ribbon loops.
One OF the prettieSt ways of making a
summer dress is in drectoire STYLE 1t con-
SlStS OF large full skirt raised on one side
over plain skirt. The waist has a deep
turned over collar, leaving the neck per-
fectly free. Embroidered lawns make very
elegant costumes, particularly when striped
with Insertions of ecru lace. Around the
skirts are wide silk scarfS.
A dress of red muslin with small cream
colored brocaded dots is trimmed with red
and cream ribbon, red velvet and cream
colored gauze. The muslin skirt is arranged
| in triple hollow plaits. Taken from either
side OF The front Of the apron are pieces of
ribbon in cream and red, which are tied in
double bows. There are three of these bows
at regular intervals. Small panniers form
points on the sides, and are taken up to the
back where the ends are draped. The
muslin jacket opens in front over plated
cream gauze talbot" This is loose over
the skirt and fastened down under crosswise
bands of ribbon, with small bow without
ends in the center of each. There are
three OF these bands. The high collar,
small revers in 'front.' and cuffs are of red
velvet.
1t is considered more stylish in France
for bride to wear long plain tulle veil
| than a lace one. The lace veil is heavier,
shorter and not as graceful and simple as
the tqlle one. Orange blossom coiffures
| are varied. They sometimes consist of a
| small bunch OF the flowers placed like an
| aigrette,. with the hair dressed very high.
Another way is to have very light wreath
of orange blossoms on the back of the head,
with the veil thrown over it. The fashion
of placing the flowers over the veil has not
proved a success, in spite of several at
tempts to make it one. The most beauti-
| full and becoming style for a young bride
| is the long tulle veil, which covers the
whole toilet like light cloud. 1t is in
| very good taste for bride not to wear
Jewels on her wedding day, particularly
during the marriage ceremony.-New York
