Workers, be they South Sea Islanders or
Bostonians by birth or descent, can find
things suited to their individual taste yet
within the limits of the present style.
COLOR TONES OF THE SEASON
Let us take our places in the throng and
I will prove what have said.
You are bewildered at first and can see
nothing in detail; but soon you are able
&c select patches of bright color as they
pass to and fro against the back ground
of the brown stone mansions or come
slowly down the steps of the churches.
You recognize the prevailing color tones
of the season-green alternating with
purple. There are flashes of crimson,
rlimpses of blue, the sky tint, and now
and then furry of old rose, but the
green and the purple predominant.
The ground COLOR" so to speak, of
the crowd is black.
1t is undeniably good taste to wear in
conspicuous dress in a place OF worship.
THE MAY WRAPS.
There are a few light capes worn by
Young women: there is q glimpse of
bright Innings underneath a biscuit col
ored wrap and as a dark green cape
blows over the wearer's arm it reveals a
dainty roSe-aZalea, fashion says 1t shall
be called this year-silk.
A great number of the Sunday costumes
have but the suggestion of wrap. The
need seems answered by a revers at the
bust rising and spreading in a frill around
the neck where it joins collar of some
sort or by a waist trim
ming that stimulates jacket
with full sleeve caps: or by bodice rib
bons ending in bows at the waist line
front and back; or by butterfly collars OF
heavy velvet tapering down 20 the waist
line in front, and fTilling out over deep
fall of wide lace; here and there a woman
seems to think her huge sleeves sufficient
rwrap,'' while another achieves the cur
rent airy effect by slashing her cape at the
back.
There will probably be coalition of
The brevelle reyers, and bolero Jackets for
the accepted summer street wrap, the
three Joined in one garment.
GREEN TAFFETA AND BLACK GRENADINE.
The costumes in color are for the most
part strongly accented.
Here is a gown of green taffeta shaded
so that it glints yellow as the full skirt
sWays in walking. 1t is subdued, how
ever, by black grenadine so nicely adj
iusted that the sprays of leaves on the thin
material appear to be woven in silk.
1t has narrow ruffies around the bottom
of the skirt, but no trimming between
that and the soft glrdle which Is of dark
green velvet, as is the soft neck band.
The bodice is the most striking part of
this costume; for it has a bertha of white
point de Gene, six inches or more IN
width. The sleeves are balloon puffs of
velvet silk and grenadine below the elbow
and very tight from the elbow TO the
hand.
This dress is stylish for the wearer-a
n1atron of more than medium height and
average weight-and il black lace were
substituted for the white, it would suit
the taste OF the most fastidious.
Her hat-for it can hardly be called
bonnet though it has strings-is of lace
straw, with haring brim, slightly curved
and trimmed with profusion of green
leaves and tiny pink buds and an up
right bow OF green ribbon TO match the
gown. The strings are of velvet, fastened
on the hair with stick pins.
HATS OR BoNNETs FOR CHURCH WEAR.
Society seems TO have reached a definite
conclusion with regard to hats and bon
nets.
The English idea is now fully engrafted
"a young girl should wear hat on all
occasions, young maJron may wear one
for undress, but for church or for i'm
portant functions she must at least have
strings so as to have the effect of a bonnet.
With regard TO strings there is also a
positive mandate this season. Young
inatrons wear satin about two inches
wide. Some merely draw one end through
the other and let them hang without even
q bow, under the chin or little on one
side. Others preserve the old order of
fashion and use stick pins on the hair. |
Where the neck is long and thin, the
latter style is more becoming.
All the best bonnets for the elcer women
this year are black, lightened by jet and
furnished with black velvet strings.
The absence of color on them is notice. !
l'.e The preference is given to Jet or !
