Tor go ~nS, undergarments, jewels, etc. The
expenses FIR entertainments are slight,
com0arstivelv. IL is said here that for
81 900 a year young woman in society can
ha' two or three dresses from Paris, as
well as supplemei tary gowns made in this
city, and fair display Of Je wells. Some Of
them, of course, eXpend much larger sum
than this. The father Of family of girls,
two of whom have 'come out and one
was recently marrie1, estimated that, IN
GLIDING an European trip for each and a
pair of ponies with a stylish cart for sum-
mer driving, that it cost in the neighbor-
hood of s., $40 Il year to maintain the girls
on an equality with their social mates, and
he thought that that would be probably
fair average for girls who are seen in the
best social circles.
The bridal gown, says the New York
Sun, changes q little from the plain gar
nent of recent years. At recent wedding
in England two sisters were Joined in the
holy bands, and their gowns, which were
alike, are spoken of by the fashion journals
as interesting specimens of the modern
dressmaker's art. The bri les were attired
in rich lvory-white silk brocade, trimmed
with silk lace and orange blossoms, long
trains caught up with a narrow Vatican
plat to one shoulder. fastened with a spray
of orange blossoms and tulle wells, and each
carried bouquets, the gifts OF the bride
grooms.
A gown designed and executed for a
well known American woman by London
milliner has attracted attention in the
metropolis.
The material employed is white Sicili-
enne, the bodice being arranged in the re-
naissance style, and the skirt handsomely
trimmed with white lisse, embroidered with
gold roses. The whole gown is also prettily
ornamented with silk feather trimming.
A late conceit in coats Is called the
Trouville jacket
1t is described in the Queen as of mush-
room-faced cloth, enhanced on the sleeves,
collar and lapel with an applique work in
either red or dark mushroom velvet, out
lined and defined with gold and silk cord 1t
is lined throughout with plaid silk, and IN
tended to be worn fastened or opened.
Slanting pockets on the hips. Cross-fold
draperies form the front in creme de laine
or Bengaline silk, ornamented with pearl
trefoils.
The Queen also describes some Of the late
specimens of French millinery art.
The French summer hat Is of black crino-
line straw, edged with a gemmed gallon and
trimmed round the crown with a tors lde of
black veil vet, finished off with large but
terfiy bow. In the scoop Of the brlm Is
PLACED a red faille bow, and at the back rises
"a tuft of red flo Rers.
A bonnet is of crushed strawberry China
crepe, yelled with mouis3liue chiffon, en-
broidered in soft Vatican tlnts, lappet of
antique lace draped to outline the pointed
brim, on the left side of which are nestled
two small birds with tails upward to form
an aigrette, in combination with variagated
ospreys. Strings in pink corded ribbon.
The Scarborough hat is of Mordore straw,
enhanced with lace, black velvet ribbon and
double marg derites.
A Waterbury girl abroad has had an out
Of the ordinary experience, says the Water
bury American. The only other occupan;
Of railway carriage in Switzerland, beside
the Waterbury girl and her party, was a
fine looking Englishman, well along in
years. He CHANGED to sit next to the Water
bury girl aud calamity improved the occa>
sion for chat with a fair cousin from
across the or. The talk was not very
serious, but the Waterbury girl found her
COMPANION very entertaining. Arrived at
their journeys end and going to an inn the
Waterbury girl found hersslf at table again
next her pleasant English companion.
Once more they enjoyed the charms of con-
versation at one or two meals, and then the
Englishman left for some other resort. In
quiry at the hotel as to who he was revealed
his identity as Lord Salisbury, premier Of
England.
Point lace is never washed until after it
has been worn, says the New York Recorder.
The makers ia 80 the utmost pains to keep 1t
white aud clean, audsgenerally succeed in SO
doing. In spite of them, though, sometimes
it turns yellow or gets soiled, in which case
it is either chalked or loaded into wilderness.
Chalk is comparatively harmless. IL is
easily beaten out IN wearing. IL it lies un-
disturbed for long. though, it Injuries the
texture by eating the threads. Lead is
simply deadly. 1t is rubbed into the fabric
and stiffens it to the point of breaking.
Besides, it turns dark by contact with il u
minating gas, thus spotting and running the
lace. Before buying lace, especially a
costly piece, strike it smartly against dark
wooden surface and crease a thick founce
betwixt the bare thumb and finger. Chalk
leaves a faint mark on the wool; lead is
palpabe to the finger tips. If either is
present in quantity let alone that particular
pattern.
Much is said pro and con as to the effect
OF salt water on the hair.
When properly applied salt water is not
only not injurious, but it is an excellent
tonic. If allowed to remain in a damp
mass, however, it will cause the hair to
fall out. The strands should be carefully
combsd after the bath and not put up until
perfectly dry.
Tar soap rubbed into the scalp before
going in bathing helps to keep blonde hair
light. In such cases it is well to dry le
hair in the sun. A three-cornered hand
kerchief of rubber that costs SO so is the
only means of keeping the hair dry in div
ing and bathing. 1t should be tied rurban
fashion as tightly as possible.
The hair curled constantly in one place
engenders a fever which causes it to fall
out. 1t is wise, therefore, to change from
top-knot to Psyche, and thence to Langtry
as frequently as possible.
A lady writing from abroad says: 1.-THE
Princess of Wales, whose taste in dress is
considered perfect, wore, during the regatta
week at Cowes, white serge skirt, with
blue cloth coat opening over a pale mauve
silk blouse. A mauve band trimmed the
white sailor hat worn en- suite. The princess
looked ex oeedingly well in this simple dress,
and occasionally the blue jacket was ex-
changed for a white pilot coat lined with
red silk, the two coats, with skirts to match,
being worn turn and turn about"
The latest sheath" skirt is several de-
grees more absurd and uncomfortable-look-
ing than any of the models that have yet
appeared, banding the figure tightly with
an inch to spare. A gored seam goes up the
front, and there are cores at the sides, which
remove every particle of fullness In the skirt
front. AT the extreme back a few inches of
fullness terminates in a short train. This
skirt has even narrower cores than the bell
skirt, favored Of Dame Fashion, whose
movements just now are most undecided
She is as variable as the weather vane. IL
