Some Beautiful Costumes Which Will
Adorn the Sweet Girl Graduate.
NEW York, June THE sweet girl
graduate has been in futter of excitement
for more than a month over her gowns
And now the young man whose heart does
not palpitate at sight of them is not worth
trying to please. The proper thing for the
valedictorian is gown of white India silk.
The drapery should be full and caught up
here and there in the front with rosettes of
white ribbon. The skirt is made with
full ruche of the silk The bodice is
shirred and the collar cut low 50 as to show
just little Of the neck. The gown will
have full leg-o'-muttol sleeves. She will
not wear any jewelry or flowers. have
seen another pretty graduating gown made
OF cheese cloth, the shade being a delicate
cream. The skirt had deep hem, above
which were two rows OF fine Swiss embroid-
cry. The waist was round and
snirred into belt. On the front
of the bodice bands of the Swiss
embroidery were let in, forming yoke. The
cloth between the embroidery is pulled. A
broad turnover collar trimmed with Valen-
Gle mes lace, and full sleeves with cuffs of
insertion trimmed with lace give the gown
a dressy effect. A broad India silk sash is
the last detail. As the cheese cloth costs
only IL cents yard, and as it comes in all
the pretty delicate shades, every girl should
have at least one OF them in her
wardrobe. They look very much like
the nuns veillngs- Here is yet an
other graduating gown, but much more
expense than the one Just described. 1t is
Greek gown, made of white nuns yelling
and trimmed with key-pattern silver passe-
menterie. The side opens over a silk petit
coat, embroidered in silver. II has large

front to snow a band Of the silver embroid-
cry. The bodice is cut in a modest Y and
trimmed with the same embroidery. This
gown is to be worn by one or the pupils at
Mrs. Reeds school, over which ex-PreSident
Cleveiaud's sister once presided.
| saw stunning gown at the races the
other day. 1t was made of red India silk,
the close fitting shirt having a deep hem,
over whlcl were rows of black lace inser-
lace drawn into a high collar. With it was
worn red tulle hat, with rossttes Of black
lace
Thick white dresses made of duck are to be
much worn; they are especially adapted to
the plain skirts now so common. Here is
smart driving cloak intended for cool days
and just being completed at one of our lead
ing modistes for an actress. 1t is made of
pink cloth lined with silk, the shade being
lovely green. The sleeves and front are
exquisitely embroidered with leaves and
flowers. 1t entirely envelops the figure and
is made very full on the shoulders.
Another pretty gown just made for New
port is an old rose cashmere aud black
guipure lace. The Figaro waist is trimmed
with turnover collar of the lace, and the
vest is male of the same material. A large
sash of guipure falls over an accordion
pleated front of silk from the sides of the
bodice. Some beautiful passementerie and
fringe finishes the sides. The skirt is demi-
trained.
Nearly every dress see is made with a
Figaro jacket, or else the waist is trimmed
to give the effect of one.
