CANT attire The costume was striI<ingly
plain and simple, but OF great richness.
Imagine flowing robe OF cleaning
ivory satin trimmed--nay, c0yered-witb
a most delicate web of old English point
lace, not only encircling the front and
sides OF the skirt ia deep fiounce headed
with a narrow garland OF orange flowers
but also draped over the corsage, then
continued up TO the hair and falling veil
like entirely over the train. The lace
was fastened TO the hair by a small spray
of the nuptial blossom. AT another
brilliant afternoon wedding the bride
was arrayed In gown quite striking In
its originality. The material was q
beautiful ottoman faille embroidered
with silver thread The corsage ended
at the waist, and was closed behind.
The front was quite plain, the embroid-
cry, Stimulating orange leaves, being laid
on In Figaro style, with q larger branch
extending across the bust from armhole
to armhole. The back was plain, cut to
a point. Ceinture Of ottoman faille rib
bon embroidered in silver, having long
ends also richly embroidered; sleeves
plain and not too large; straight collar
scalloped and embroidered; train round
cd at the bottom, consisting OF four large
double pieats, two on. each side, and cut
on the bias so as to fall open fan-wise;
bottom of the skirt in front having
orange flowers richly embroidered in
silver; on the left side two branches of
the natural orange flowers reaching from
the hip to the embroidery; veil of silk
tulle scalloped on the lower edge with
silver thread.
The bridesmaid wore pink faille with
garniture of lace in corn-yellow silk
tulle. The waist was double, there being
a figaro OF faille opening upon corsage
of crepe de chine.
My last illustration represents a very
charming interior costume, consisting Of
jacket of plum-colored striped silk,
bordered with pale blue silk. The skirt
is in embroidered cream tulle, the fiounce,
being headed with pale-blue silk. The
Charlotte Corday ichu is in white silk
crepe, while the sash is of pale-blue silk
making up an ensemble strikingly pic
turesque and graceful.
Another charming original indoor cos
tune may be made Of iron-gray cloth In
combination with either dark-blue or
black velvet. The velvet serves to make
the straight collar and plastron, the point
of which reaches to the waist darts. The
belt is also of velvet, and the bottom Of
the skirt has a velvet border The sides
of the skirt and corsage, each side of the
plastron and the upper portion of the
sleeves as high as the elbows are orna-
mented with frog-like silk cord trimming
in graduated sizes. The front breadth,
which is cut bias at the top, is slightly
gathered. The back breadth is pleated,
and the pleats caught in small band,
which is hooked to the waist. The cor
sage is closed by hooks in front, and the
basques are ruffied.
One sees many stylish outdoor dresses
made up with jacket corsages They
have velvet plastrons and Medicis col
lars. The bottom of the skirt usually
has a deep founce of hollow pleats.,
Feather trimming often borders the
jacket basque, and also the edges of the
bertha which frames the velvet plastron.,
The suede glove will continue to main
tain its popularity. For morning call,
the ultra-fashionable wears two-but-
ton white suede glove of white stitch
ing. If she goes out for an airing in
her pony phaeton and drives herself, she
must wear two-button English gloves.
In the afternoon, for the promenade or
for call making her hands should be
clad in suede gloves of natural color, or,

wrists. The city dame of fashion affects
the six-button mousquetaire in glace
kid. For full mourning, black suede;
half mourning, gray gloves with black
stitching; for ball, soiree, or ceremoni-
Gus receptions, white suede mousque-
taires.
The glove box has gone the way of
many other boxes. The sachet, deli
cately perfumed with violet, heliotrope,
or some odor which manifests itself in
ftful breaths, is the only receptacle for
