FELT HATS.
The windows are full OF felt hats, and
they are becoming more and more
popular. They come in derbyS, sailor
and other shaped crowns, with wide
brims. They can be deliberately
trimmed or worn with only the ribbon
band or the military cord around the
crown. They are very light in weight
and are most comfortable for summer
wear. A Fifth avenue milliner showed
me an exquisite chapeau, which 1 will
describe: 1t was a low-crowned, broad
brimmed, cream-White felt of exquisite
quality. trimmed in white velvet and
India silk, with several white wings
and one snowy sea-guil's head and
breast. TIE effect of the twist about
the crown and the bow, and loops of
the velvet and India silk combined was
not only novel. but very effective. -,
Birds and wings seem to be the favor
tie trimming for hats and bonnets.
Black and white are the favorite colorS,
although colored wings and birds are
occasionally seen.
EVENING DRESSES.
The materials for evening dresses are
numerous, and in coloring and design
they SurpaSS anything seen in years.
The price is the greatest wonder of all.
The soft, draping silks, known under
the generic titles OF Bengaline, peau de
sole, Victoria reps, Sicilienne and China
and India silks, form the body OF Innings
of the handsomest party dresses, and
for garnitureS there are embroidered
gauzes, exquisite laces, printed and
plain crepe lisses and silk nets. The
garniture should match the silk in tint.
The silk Innings are usually cut decolta,
square, round or V shape, and the
sleeves made without lining. A high
necked and long-sleeved unlined under
body, made of the silk, can also be had,
and it can be worn under the other
dress waist when desired. Its effect
will be to transform the evening dress
into costume suitable for less "dressy"
occasions.
A HALF-MOURNING BRIDE.
n IOllS -oOCOliu ottCCU HiOuIot6, dlllOtfS
other things, showed me a Il o lsseau for
a young woman of twenty-three, who
makes her second venture upon the
treacherous sea of matrmony early in
August. Her first husband was old and
wealthy, while the bride was beautiful,
vivacious and in her teens. Three years
after their marriage the old gentleman
died, and the sparkling little widow has
waited the required year. 1t will be
just a year next week, and now she is to
marry handsome Apollo of twenty
four, with whom she is madly in love.
The trousseau is novel, beautiful and
becoming. There are a dozen sets of
silk underwear and as many more of
finest batiste. They are in white, pearl
and lavender, four suits of each color.
They are lace-trimmed and hand-em-
broidered in wreaths of white and pur-
pie violets. The embroidery on the
silk garments is done in silk, and that
upon the batiste is done in linen floss.
All seams are finished in briar stitch.
The stockings are gray, lilac and
black, with Suede shoes, ties and Slip
perS to match. Hidden in the suit are
soft, white China silk Sachet bags of orris
root, lavender flowers and dried viOlets,
giving to the garments the subtle per-
fume of delicate flowers. The dresses
are black, white, gray. purple and Law
ender. Without seeing this trousseau
one can form no idea of its beauty and
variety, and yet but a few colors are
used.
The bridal gown is of the richest
quality of white peau de sole, with veil
and draperies OF white silk tulle, with
an embroidered wreath of white violets.
The bouquet will be bunch of white
violets. Magnificent diamonds will help
to set off the young widows beauty
glad she is truly in love with her Adonis,
and hope she will have long and happy
life in which to spend the old fellows
money. CHIC.
