Tho front of the skirt can be laid in
deep plaits on each side of a front breadth
of satin or MORE, or tho plats can meet.
The back brcadths are full and hang
from the top without drapery, and can
be walking length or train. A wide
sash with fringcd out ends is suitable Of
ribbon, and in several instances the sash
has been made of hemstitched muslin.
Some have double skirts, with tho upper
one drawn up on the left side under a
sash and with flowers and foliage. White
pinks, lilac, jasmine and myrtle aro all
suitable flowers for bride.
"A widow can wear pearl gray silk or
cashmere or Henrietta silk warp in gray
of the palcst shade, and this can be trim
med lavishly with lace. 1t is not per-
missible for widow to wear a veil, but
she may wear spray Of orange blossoms
at her throat and in her hair if she SO do
sires and is young. II she is going to
travel sho can wear n poplin gown or
plain cashmere in any quiet color or
shade, and it is quite the thing to be
married very quietly and so of for
short period Of lunacy on a honeymoon.
a reception after wedding or any
other kind of q reception makes it pos
siblc for ladies, particularly young ones,
TO wear some very killing toilets, and
they can be modelled after those present
ed in the illustration. The 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 is
shirred ut the neck in a manner which
leaves u little rutlle at the top.
Tho second is made of pale robins egg
blue Bengaline silk, the skirt raised ON
the right side over cream colored faille
panel braided with silver braid. Around
the waist and as pointed collarette are
ornaments of iridescent beading, though
these can be better replaced with lace
over darker blue. as beading is rather
heavy for Bengaline. Indeed gold braid
over faille would be lighter and moro
dressy.
This model would be very pretty for n
young lady in nuns yelling, or Clairette,
or simple cashmere, but should be in
light delicate tints.
The third costume is for young mar
ried ladies and is superb in its elegant
style. The front is of very rich shrimp
pink satin, and the vest of moss green
yelutina, with n wide revers of Irish
point lace, which is also laid upon tho
front of the waist and extends over the
shoulder, forming V point in the back.
There are pocketlids of the velutina.
The sleeves are puifed by means Of plaits
along the middle of the arms, with a
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 a pointed girdle at the
waist. handsomer costume need not
be desired. 1t would require about eight
yards of velutina at 81 per yard and
two of satin at $3.50 a yard and four
yards of lace at whatever price one
wanted to pay. The style Is SO simple
that any lady who can make any kind
OF dress can achieve it, and it Is one Of
those toilets that keep in fashion three
or four seasons with no material altera-
ton.
The newest styles in hats are encour-
aging, and some Of them are very beau
tiful both in design aud form, but they
may change materially before the season
is fully open IL is seldom before the
middle Of September that the "open-
lngs are held. and these are pattern
