tswny orange In color, which is called
"Rold OF India" and on this the truly
fashionable woman must write in green

sealing wax. This greenery-yelloWy
combination has nothing to recommend
it, 80 IL can never become popular with
ladies' Of artistic taste.
The latest tea gowns have the bodice
draped and crossed over at the waist
with V-shaDed vest Of contrasting
color. A pretty effect may be made
with grey crepe, lined with rose pink
silk, and q killed pink crepe vest and
fiounces OF pink on the sleeves TO the
elbow. Accordion plating is largely
used for tea gowns, and when IL is
adopted they can made very simply,
falling in straight lines from the neck
TO the hem.
At the university match between OK
ford and Cambridge pretty gowns were
8 noticeable feature Of the entertain
ment, aud never before has there been
so hne a display Of clothes st this match.
Black aud blue was the faYOrite COM
binatiOn OF color, yet there was the
usual variety OF green-irrespectiye OF
cOmplexions-and a dainty sprinkling
OF white and yellow dresses. One odd
little bonnet was scarcely any bonnet at
all In front, and had a Fan OF lace stand
ing erect st the back.
Moire antiq ne, not watered silk, will
ba the feature of next winters styles.
The latest capes are already made Of
this handsome material, trimmed with
italian or Flemish lace, and lined
throughout with white satin, in true
Partisan elegance.
The return OF the Victorian colffure
is another abomlnatlon lowering In the
air, and many OF the Partisan actresses
are already wearing their hair drawn
over the eyes.
The description Of a gown OF ideas,
rather than beauty, worn by Nine.
Patti az Albert Hall in London, may be
interesting as an evidence OF poor taste.
Ii had no particular style and was made
OF white satin and pale blue brocade.
The skirt was q double one, the under
part being OF white satin with three
lace founces on the bottom, headed
with bead trimming. The upper skirt
OF pale blue was cut 10 fit so closely
that each had TO be opened and tied to-
zsther with three satin bows, the white
satin train escaping through the open
Ing at the back. The bodice was white
satin In front and blue at the back, the
sleeves being full puffs OF blue.

decorating the modern wedding cake
are a great improvement on the conven-
tional cupids, darts, aud hearts, no
longer used Artistic arrangements OF
flowers and tiny oranges, mingled with
the orange blossoms, relieve the dead
whiteness which has always been Goa
siderei The appropriate thing. The
royal wedding cake of graduated tiers
was decorated on the lower one with
two ships in bas-relief, together with
buoys aud anchors; another was em6el-
ished with dolphias and figures with
harps, and the top tier consisted OF a
nautilus she'll, supported by cupids
resting on shells and seaweed. A
smaller cake given to the Princess May
had four medalliOns, with the mono
gram OF the bride ADD groom In pale
blue aud pink, mounted on white satin
and surmounted by cOronets and Prince
OF Wales plumes. Among the flowers
10 the decorations were May blossoms,
orange blossoms, and white roses.
The clown sleeve, which is much
newer than the bullying style Of the ear
IL season, is composed entirely Of ruff
les from the elbow to the shoulder.
The pulled sleeve is diminishing up
ward, and every fresh touch Of fashion
reveals a little more Of the tight under-
sleeves.
Although hats are worn by young
girls, 0onnets are in the majority where

ever for house wear, but black Oxford
ties are the only low shoes permissible
In the street, while suede is the newest
thing in white shoes, and they are
pointed of with patent leather, white
suede or tan. Red morocco shoes are
fashionable for piazza wear.
