above the heads of the bridal couple was
woven loosely of grass with daisies and @
few clover heads intermingled.
The bridesmaids wore gowns with strik-
ing admixtures of green. They did not
dress alike, as is usual in this country, but
followed foreign fashion in counting diver
sity, thou gh harmony was not in any degree
sacrificed. One of the Drettest frOcks of
the half dozen was of green shot silk, COW
cred with white net, the draperies being
sewn with gold beads. The hat of green
crepe was trimmed with gold and white
daisies.
| do not profess deep interest in trous-
seau frOcks, because there is no need. The
interest of the bride herself is intense
enough to excuse other people. Her inter-
est is the main reason why do not care for
them, for she usually tires herself out over
them TO such an extent that she spoilS her
complexion for the wedding. An evening
gown lately seen is, nevertheless, perhaps
worth describing. Pale blue crepe de Chine
is the material, figured in stripes with small
pink roses. The skirt is straight and sim
pie, the low bodice of plain crepe folds
across on the bosom, and is embroidered
with single roses and with butterflies and
dragon flies from the shoulders round the
corsage. With this frock goes necklace
of pearls and pink canoes and a
pearl and cameo fillet for the hair. Roses
are the flowers 10 carry with it, and its effect
frock to be noticed from the same outfit,
though the pale leaf green and white bro
cade of this same costume is extremely
rich and heavy
Valley lilies are the flowers displayed
upon it in scattered clusters, the figured
front being inclOsed in an apron tiounce Of
point lace that edges the bottom and runs up
to the waist on either side. The back of the
skirt is of plain rich corded faille. Brocade
is called IN again for the bodice, which has a
puff of white chiffon about the shoulders
and a deep waist founce of the lace which
constitutes the skirt trimming. The lace is
caught with ribbons kn0tted with ostrich
feathers.
The latest ideas in boating dress are per-
haps Of more interest to those young w0-
men-and for good or for evil, there are
such numbers Of them-who have no pros
pect of immediate marriage. Some of tile
prettiest frocks seen have plain skirts, with
the hem turned upon the outside. Such a
dress will have Swiss bodice and braces
through which to slip the arms, so that all
the weight comes from the shoulders. This
is q very convenient style for wearing
with silk or linen skirt. Another boat
dress has q cOrselet bodice attached to
the skirt and is worn with blue
and white or pink and white skirt
made with large frilled revers, all
worked In feauher stitch. Boating shirts.

out this summer with blouse fronts, only
the collar and cuffs-thOugh on hot day
this ''only" will be execrated-being stiff.
Afternoon frccks for country wear are be-
ing made af shot silks and even of shot cot
ton. beautiful example is a pink and
blue surah whose blended tints give some
what the effect of a red mauve. 1t is made
with a long, ful-pOinted bodice at the back
and is edged with two handkerchefs of shot
crepe llsse, the longer points falling IN the
middle. At the throat is placed wide bow
Of white satin ribbon, and cream cOl0red
guipure is applied as a Swiss bodice and as
gantlet cuffs to the sleeves. On the top of
the cOrseet is perched second white satin
bow. The skirt has in front tucked i1Ounce
Of The crepe lisse, and at either side Is an &C
Gordon pleating which is arranged in double
perpendicular lines, forming continuous
bottom. The skirt just touches the ground,
and is pleated fantail fashion behind.
People who are fashionable are supposed
to have left the city, but there are neverthe-
less on any bright afternoon many fine
toilets to see. A girl was buving a bunch of
pink laurel this morning, who wore fawn
coOred frock with bodice whose front
was composed altogether of frillings Of black
chiffon. Her coat reVerS we're faced with
cream-cOl0red guipure and this was studded
with small, glittering jet facets. At her
waist was a guipure and Jet band Her
skirt was bordered with seven black chiffon
pipings. Another girl wore a light gray
crepOn dress whose plain skirt was richly
braided in silver. IL was made double
breasted as to the bodice, with a turned
down collar showing white linen dress
shirt garnished with silver embroidery. AT
her throat was white muslin tie. Her
sleeves buttoned inside the arms to the ell
bows Her hat was a small gray straw
sailor resting on a eOrOnet of fine pink flow
ers and trimmed with gray ribbon velvet
and white wings.
There was one very pretty dress in pale
blue trimmed with silver braid. the deep
skirted coat cut in tabs outlined with silver,
the revers and wide gantlet cuffs in the
same styles. There was another in golden

striking and essential feature. They are
requisite to give character to the continental
idea.
On the street beside or behind the conti-
mental girl walks the lad who looks as il he
were home on vacation from Eaton. He
doesn't always enjoy the Etonian effect Of
himself, for TIE bona fide American boys are
apt to look and to jeer Still, the Eaton lad
knows he is in the height of fashion and ne
has more and more comrades to keep him
company every day. He is a natty and
smart and comical figure with his stove
pipe hat and his Byron collar and his short
jacket and his long trousers. He wears
gloves as he walks Fifth avenue, and some
how that Of itself is almost enough to differ
entiate him from a normal, human sort oil
boy.
The Grecan tea gown is the costume In
which you are apt to find woman, II you

classic about the robe, in spite of its name,

grace and general becOmingness over most

Special Fashion Letter to THE SUNDAY CALL.

NEW YORK, June 8, 1s91-The tailor
made girl is no longer what she was. Like
bric-a- brac her popularity is on the wane.
1t is the continental girl who is succeeding
her as an outdoor figure. The continental
girl owes her success TO the fact that she
is picturesque, an adjective nobody ever
dreamed of applying to the tailor-made girl
The continental girl wears cooked hat and
a long tailed coat, and she winds about her
throat big muslin fchu. She has en0r-
nous lace cuffs at her wrists and her waist
coat is gorgeously embroidered. She car
ries In her hand a dOg-whip, and she looks
like dashing marquise of the court of now
one and now another of the highly esteemed
LOuises.
AS here presented her dress is of black
corded silk, with vest, revers and cuffs Of
VIII lite satin worked with gold There is
lace at her neck and lace at her wrists, but

But to conclude: There is a widespread
belief that the five senses Of savages are ex-
traOTdinariy sharp and acute. Especially
in the matter Of vision. popular opinion
would award the palm to the Indian. Here.
again, the popular notion Is clearly In the
wrong. An English traveller in South
America recently had occasion TO test the
question. He was greatly surprised to find
that lis guides could distinguish objects
which he could not make out At all. Thus,
when tiny 81 eek appeared on the land
scape OF the pampas native could tell by
the sight and movements what manner OF
thing il was. The EngllShman subsequent
~ discovered that this extraordinary range
of vision was due more to long experience
than TO the actual possession of keen eyes.
For he took two of his gnides off their
native heath, and by giving them unfamiliar
sights and scenes in a city, neither one of
them could see any better than an ordinary
person.
In truth, the FIVE senses Of the Indian or
savage are dull compared with the five
senses of civilized man. Major Powell of
the Bureau Of Ethnology, Washington Chan
whom there is no higher authority in this
country, says that a savage sees but few
sights, hears but few sounds, tastes but few
favOrs, smells but few odOrs; his whole
sensuous life is narrow and blunt The
sensitiveneSs Of the Indian is as big a myth
as the wisdom of the owL-American \ otes
and Queries.

June weddings follow one another in
rapid succession and some of them call out
very pretty ideas. There has not been a
June in many summers without its daisy
weddings, but this season the daisies are
used with great quantities of green. At a
country wedding not many days ago marsh
grasses were used with the daisies, standing
up rank and tall above them. The fire.

ECONOMY IN WEALTHY HOMES.

Household Expenses More Carefully
Looked After in England Than Here.
To keep an establishment extrayagantly
on $4,000 or S20,0 600 works quite as much
mischief as to mismanage on $1,000 or less.
Why is 1t that servants who have been in ser
vice in good families in England. Ireland or
Scotland are sought after so eagerly with
us? For the simple reason that there the
household affairs are managed with thrift
among the very wealthy. If the mistress OF
the house is too delicate, or has too many
social engagements to attend to the details
herself, there is always a housekeeper who
does this in a systematic way.
Stores are kept in locked room, the cook
reports each morning what she needs for
the day, and the articles are given TO her;
the sekeeper, knowing the menu for each
meal, understands If the cook is making
proper demands. No waste of any kind is
allowed; tue very scullery maid knows this
and dares not leave her soap in the water,
etc. There is no better school for training
a servant than for her to be taken into q
rich household of this sort.-N. Y. World.
