For graduating dresses, nothing Is
prettier than white dotted Swiss mus
lin, with one or more rutiles on the
skirt, plain or edged by Valenciennes
lace, full waist cut half high at the
neck; pulled sleeves to the elbow and
belt fastened at the back or side by
large rosette. Crepon with tiny silk
embroidered crescent, or silk dotted
nuns yelling are very appropriate as
well and TO these materials, plain skirts
and silk waist trimmings are best
adapted. White satin striped grena-
done is another suitable fabric, and
pretty foot trimming is box plated
grenadineruching, the corsage having
lace or grenadiue frill, edged with
puff and standing ruffle, put on in
round yokeshape, with pulled elbow
sleeves. The larger proportion of
graduating dresses are cut somewhat
low at the neck with elbow sleeves,
but high neck and long sleeves are
simply a matter of individual taste
Where expenseis not considered, silk
Innings are always used, but are by no
means obligatory.
SATIN is REALLY
the leading material for wedding dres-
ses, at the same time crepe de Chine
possesses the great advantage of being
suitable for any evening entertain
ment. The skirt of "a crepe de Chine
dress, recently made for an out of town
wedding, was trimmed with very full
ruching tackled in points, and over the
the full waist, two embroidered chiffon
frills outlined round yoke; third
frill falling from inside a rather low
neck, and puffed sleeves were finished
with similar chiffon frills.
THE LATEST CAPRICE
is black satin trimmed with white
silk, butter-color or cream tinted lace,
and jet yokes over cream lace, or
guipure lace yokes over black, edged
at front and back by jet "rain fringe"
are very striking. Accordion plated
f1ounces of Brusself net on black satin,
are edged by white guipure lace, or
numerous rows of white lace insertion
on black satin are seen; care should be
taken however to guard against too
much white in these combination cos
tunes. Pulled sleeves are trimmed
by lengthwise or crosswise rows of in
sertion, diagonal insertions also, are
used on close sleeves below the elbow.
Reductions in dress fabrics being made
by all large Establishments, shopping
may now be done at great advantage,
and connoiseurs in the matter of per-
fumes do not fail to take with them to
the country, supply Of Murray C.

THE SKIRTS OF TENNIS Or YACHTING
SUTs.
are about two inches from the ground,
and not more than four yards in
width, trimmed with from three to
nine satin folds, or bias 6oupce
headed by satin ribbin or fold.
White serge, cashmere or challi are
most stylish, still blue or crimson are
much more serviceable than white.
Elton jackets. or round waists with
belts are stylish and large turn-down
collars meeting the front revers are
termed double revers. A broad
brimmed sailor hat or yachting cap are
most popular.
LEGHoRN's TRIMMED WITH LARGE
. Roses
are the leading style in shade bats, six
or seven roses with balf-blown buds
and foliage, being no eSaggeration.
Small flowers also, such as lilacs, lilies
of-the-valley are very fashionable, and
one very large crimson or pink rose
among small flowers is quite effective.
White trough and ready' straws,
trimmed in similar style are much in
favor and not so expensive as Leg
horns. Shirred null hats trimmed
with large plain or accordion-plaited
null bows and gauze pompous, are
brought out in q great variety Of light
shades for young persons aud in black
or navy-blue for middle-aged ladies.
