Hints and Suggestions ON Matters Of Inter-
est to the Fair Sex.
Nearly all the dressy bOdices for
young ladies in their teens, are either
laced or buttOned at the back. The
front of the corsage is generally much
trimmed.
Novel shirt waists from Paris. for ele-
giant morning wear, are made Of striped
surah or China silk with slender vines
of roses and leaves forming stripe on
the exquisitely tinted silk surface.
These waists are finished with a deep
Charles TX. collar and cuffs of moss
green velvet.
For stylish house dresses at the sum-
mer resorts are French corselets, very
high on the shoulders. and deeply
rounded at the neck, these completed
by Russian guimpe of lace or pleated
crepe lisse fastened in front with three
tiny diamond buttons. These corselets
are deeply pointed front and back, and
are finished with trimmings of MORE
ribbon.
There are now imported entire skirts,
skirt-frOnts, panels. revers, borders,
Figaro jackets and sleeves, made wholly
of passementerie, to be laid over skirts
Of silk of paler shade. Nothing can
equal the grace of the design, the
beauty and fineness of the work, and the
richness of the effects. Beads are still
intermingled in many of the patterns,
and there is among other impOrtations,
a superb panel and other ornamental
pieces of wall flowers executed in
bronze. mahogany, gold and terracotta
silk cords and beads, which is unsur-
passed in beauty and art by any treas
ured relics of the sixteenth century.
Charming gowns for summer we'd
dings are made of Valenciennes or of
the new fancy lace which, in delicate
web-like patterns, is woven to closely re-
semble point lace. Some of the dresses
have the lace over the whole gown,
covering the satin slip entirely. and
even extending beyond it at the neck.

ing also as transparent sleeves.
Other dainty bridal toilets have
flOunces, sleeves, and bodice of lace,
while for the guimpe. drapery and
veil silk net or tulle is used. Point

around the waist and tied ut the back.
Cream-white serge Or camels-hair
fabrics, barred with mahogany, cherry,
olive, Roman red. or marine blue, make

Out-of-tOwn wear. Some of the gowns
are made wholly Of the barred goods,
others have stylishly draped skirts of

trimmed with braiding in a vine pat
