ones have the met covered with m.ny rows

ores have the net covered with many rows
of narrow watered ribbon. Sometimes
this Is set on diagonelly, sometimes per-
pendicularly, and, very rarely, straight
across. The same effect is employed on
the wsist drsperies, the ribbon-striped net
being gathered in full at the shoulders
and drawn down to sharp point below
the waist. Those who find their lace
sufficiently fresh to wear another season,
but wish to vary the costume bit, can
accomplish this by the addition Of mar
row net of white w:tered silk embroidered
with gold, With collar and narrow cuffs to
match.
Foulsrds are extremely popular and
are sought after not only for dress occa-
sions, but are highly esteemsd for trsvel-
J ing owing 20 their dust shedding quality.
A recent bride in half mourning had one
for her wedding journey Of p!slded black
and white, panels, vest, cuffs and other
| trimming of the plain black. Usually this
| material, whatever may be the color Of
the pleids or the figure, is made up with
plain silk Of the prominent color.
The pre- ximity CT the month OF May is
suggestive OF weddings, and in gowns
for such occasions white sstin holds lis
serge trimmed with white velvet and
snowdrops, or white cloth trimmed with
grebe duck. A very besusiful white satin
dress worn by recent bride had the
right side fitted smooth and covered to
the breast with orange blossoms, while
the left side, immensely full at the shoul-
der, was Tapped ACROSS snd held e. the
waist by q gold girdle.
Several new wedding dress ideas have
burst forth. An Indian crepe, heavily
embroidered in white foss, with pearls,
has deep fringe Of orange blossoms and
seed pearls. There is no coronet OF
flowers. The coiffnre is arranged with
pesrl pins, and the Flemish lsce veil is
thus retained.
Another pau de sole bridal robe had
second jupe Of silk muslin delicately
wrought in fac gold thread. Orange
blossoms were mixed with clusters of
white lilas and ostrich tips.
No trousseau is complete without the
els sic tes gowns, and in these q woman
is allowed to exercise her taste for the
picturesque, brocaded fabrics, plain
colors subdued or gay, the only essential
being grace of outline. A very lovely one
is Of brecsde worn over petticost Of
apple g,eer; it has loose front, q yoke
in the oack snd a full Wattesu plat. A
woman arrsyed In this almost beguiles
one into the belief that one Of the cele-
brated painters creations has had
breethed into 1t the bresth Of life.
The lingerie OF the trousseau liz ex.
tremely elaborate, and fashion journals
speak Of silk and ribbons entering largely
into their make up, but more
delicate tsste suggests pure white
wash material such as percsie and cam
brio. The French manufactures are pre-
ferred both tor beauty of finish and durs-
bility in wear. Undergsrments Of these
can be made as expensive as the most
extravagant can desire by having them
handmade and nand- embroidered. The
lacss used are principally Valenclennes
end torchon, the Medici or cuble tor
chon being used for trimming skirts.
Fine tucks and feather stitching are seen
on the front Of gowns, few are INSIDE with
yokes. IT used st ell they ste short, in
robes de mutt, as in me,inees, the leaning |
is TO classic fashions with fullness from
the shoulders
Chemises are in sscq1e fashion cut to |
fl. the figure, with mere band for sleeves,
the neck V-shsped back and front. In the
b.ck the shape somewhat rounded; on
the garments much hemstitching is used
in ruffles and sewing On lace.
Corset covers are cut high at the back
with Pomp.deur front or pointed front,
the pointed styles in all under garments
being feature of the season. Corset
covers are also pointed back and front; |
square BAGS sud front, or rounded Off the |
shoulders. The Recsmier shape described |
for chemises Is fsvorite style In corset |
covers. Some of the new corset covers |
are finished with insertions OF embroidery |
down the entire fronts. Corset covers |
without any band over the shoulder and |
which are sim ely basted over the correct |
are shown in fine linen.
