Garden parties and flower luncheons
continue to be the order of the day. A
"white tulip" festival on Staten Island
recently was as pretty as anything of
the sort have seen. / don't know
how tulips ever were grown with long
stems. Tall old-fashioned china jars
were put about in the halls and the
drawing-rooms to hold them and they
stood up straight and imperious and
dominated the rooms. Some of them
were double, but most were single and
large and glorious as floral queens.
The hostess wore white brocade,
striped with pale pink and gray lines.
Round her shoulders was set collar
of cobwebby lace, surmounted by a
frilled collar, set in square points in
the front and made of pink velvet SO
pale as to be white, just flesh warmed.
The lace collar fell in lapels TO the
bosom and the sleeves were entirely of
lace worked in gold thread and lined
with faint peach color. AT the waist
was draped belt of peach velvet,
which fell at the back in long wing
like ends. 1t was really n beautiful
costume, breathing of the May time.
Another gown that moved soft and
slow among the flowers was silver
gray silk shot with yellow. It's deep
cape and full sleeves were edged with
frills of the silk and lace insertions,
and the vest was of yellow silk, lace
striped. At the Press club fair the
other night a pretty gown was OF gray
and heliotrope silk, shot bcwilderingly
and closely patterned. On the hem Of
the skirt were two founces edged with
lace, and the bodice was lace filed at
the throat and had belt and rosettes Of
velvet peach tinted.

should by good rights call ''early Vic

covered from waist to skirt with in.
