The front Of the skirt can be laid il

sash and with flowers and foliage White
pinks, lilac. jasmine and myrtle are all
suitable flowers for bride.
a widow can wear pearl gray silk or
cashmere or Henrietta silk warp i'm gray
of the palcst shade. an4this can be trim
med lavishly with lace. it is not per
Missile for "a widow 10 wear veil but
she may wear "A spray of orange blossoms
at her throat and in her hair if she SO de
siros and is young. If she is going TO
travel she can wear pOplin gown or
plain cashmere in any quiet color or
shade, and it is quite the thing TO be
married very quietly and go off for a
short period Of lunacy on honeymoon.
\ reception after a wedding or any
other kind of reception makes it pos
sible for ladies, particularly young ones.
10 wear some very killing toilets, and
they can be modelled after those present
Cd in the illustration. Tho right hand
one is made of silk warp Henrietta cloth
in silver gray, with full vest front Of |
pale pink crepe dc chine and trimmed /
with black velvet ribbon The vest il /
shrred at the neck in a manner which /
leaves a little ruilic at the top.
The second is made Of palc robins egg
blue Bcngalinc silk. the skirt raised ON /
the right side over Il cream col0rcd faille
panel braided with silver braid. Around /
the waist and as pointed collarcltc are
ornaments Of iridc5ccnt beading. though
these can be better replaced with laco
over darker blue, as beading is rather
heavy for Bengaline Indeed gold braid
over faillo would be lighter and moro
drcssy.
This model would be very pretty for q
young lady in nuns Yelling, or Claircttc.
or simple cashmere, bat should be in
light delicate tints.
The third costume is for young mar
Rcd ladies and is superb in its elegant
style. The front is Of very rich shrimp

along the middle of the arms, with
slash at the top with satin let in, and
deep cuffs of point lace. A pink satin
standing collar is covered with lace laid
on Hat as IS also pointed girdlc at the
waist \ handsOmer costume need not
be desired. 10 would require about eight
yards of vclutina at ST per yard and
two Of satin at $3.50 a yard and four
yards of lace at whatever price ono &
wanted to pay. The style is so simple
that any lady vino can make any kind I
of dress can achieve it, and it is one cf d
those toilets that keep in fashion three {
or four seasons with no material altera- y
ton.
Tho newest styles in hats are cncour O
aging, and some Of them are very beau q
tiful both in design AMI form. but they VI
may change materially before the season d
Is fully open 1t is seldom before the e.
middle of September that the "opcn- d
