Beautiful Spring aud summer Materials
styles in Bouquets.

BeAuEt1uk spring auH summer materials
styles in Bouquets.
Surah is still much worn.
The fancy for gold trimmings and for
imitation jewels is greater than at any
previous season.
There is sufficient variety in round hats
to please all tastes.
For thin material fuller sleeves will be
much worn, as the long close ones will
prove too warm for the summer heats.
Skirt trimmings are as yet very plain
and narrow.
Soft sicilienne aud Bengalino are used
for bridesmaids.
Small boys who assist at weddings are
dressed as pages, or else they wear
the Continental suit AID three-cornered
hat.
The fancy for diaphanous biliowy draD-
cry is again INDUCED in 10 the detrimenG
of heavier textiles in the choice of mater
iaI for bridal dresses. Rich lustrous silks
are often selected for the foundation slip,
but the summer bride this year will be
draped with cIoudlike folds of tulle, or,
where expense is not considered, with
daintiest lace, from taroat to skirt hem.
Sleeves are full at the top, most com
fortably but not ungracefully loose about
the arm, long and fitting the wrist snug
ly, often covering good deal Of the back
of the hand.
Bodices continue to be full and trimmed
in various ways. buttons for both use and
ornament are again worn, though not TO
fasten the gowns down the front, or to be
seen if they do.
White and yellow appear to be the
favorite combination Of colors for trim
mings, and small sized chrysanthemams
in ali sorts and varieties OF color are the
popular flower.
Partisan women are copying the Ameri-
hi n az Of far<
and cover the bodies OF their evening
dresses with brooches of every description.
Diamond and sapphire lizards glitter In
their bonnets at the theatre. Joan of
Arc diamond sword or crescent of bril-
lants sparkles at the throat, even with a
nigh dress, and the largest jewel they pos
sess acts as buckle at the waist. The
earrings are small, usually q single ener-
aid, turquoise, or sapphire, surrounded
with diamonds.
Skirts for walking costumes are still
made much too long for either beauty or
comfort. They rest several inches on the
ground, are made very plain with the
most scant draDery, all the fullness being
carried to the back,
Cancels hair ia all eolors and shades Is
always popular. Albatross cloth of good
quality makes up and wears we'll. Henri
ettas, crepons, buntings. monRirs, India
aud foulard silks. ginghams and challies
are all fashionable.
Here is the new fashion in houquetsl
No more composed punches OF flowers"
are carried by the fashionable women. A
beribboned bouquet is regarded as bad
forn,p only the Partisan has another
phrase for chad form and a dame of the
a spray or branch of some flowers in sea-
son, such as lilac or minosa- In this land
OF extravaganza, where all the flowers are
always IN bloom, she might hold spray
of orchids or bunch of roses, but the ar
ranged bouquet, jalnaisl The idea is to
resemble the young martyrs in the pic
lures. these said martyrs generally hold
ing in one hand palm branch. Perhaps
our florists will catch on TO this new
wrinkle and nave some extraordinary
lovely blooms prepared for their fair Gus
toners who are to figure at the spring
weddings
The summer bell skirt is wider and
fuller than the original model OF the
early spring.
Heavy cords and milliner's folds are
used by French and English designers on
plain skirts of silk or satin.
The spring colors are beautifully soft,
yet decided, and all tints TO suit all COM
plexions are attainable.
The prettiest trimmings for zephyr
gingnam5 and batistes are OF open WORK
embroideries or light fine linen laces.
Cream colored Russian lace is also used.
The trimmings form jacket fronts. deep
basques, entire sleeves, or the puff OF the
sleeve only. Bretelles and hchu shaped
pieces of lace and embroidery are en-
I ployed, also pointed belts and half high
\ peasant waists are used as a finish 20
| dressy morning costumes.
Taffetas silks in changeable effects are
in high favor. They are made into charm
I ing summer gowns, skirts and fancy
waists, and they are also used as frills
| and other trimmings for plain neutral
silk and fine unpatterned wool dresses,

A novelty in the fine Russian net wells

| nected webs, with spider in eachs all as
| delicate as possible. Another is the cross
4 barred net, with four small spots at each
| crossing Then there are the gold, jet
