EVENING GOWNS Fol GIRLS AND MATRONs.
marble brow" These wreaths of roses were
just roses pure and simple, without foliage,
and they came right down to the forehead,
where they rested their pink or white pet
ais without any intervening bang orfrizzes.
They looked pretty in the old days, but
somehow now they look quaint, but not so
becoming as if the curls cam down oyer
the marble brow" for there is not one
woman in a hundred who looks well with
her forehead bare. There is a really good
excuse for those who wear '~'fronts" when
their own hair is Thin and scanty.
That reminds me that a young lady of
my acquaintance, who has recently come
here from Peru, told me of a remedy for
thin hair. 1t is to take the shells from a
pound of English walnuts and pour a quart
of boiling water over them and leave them
SO. Every morning and evening some of
the water should be rubbed into the roots
of the hair. This has been productive of adj
mirable results in two cases to my personal
knowledge, and one subject is nearly 70
years old.
An evening dress, worn by a young lady
at a recent function, was made of white
mousseline de sole, with pink polka dots
al over lt-that is to say, the front of the
dress was of that material, while the train
was of rose pink satin. The front breadth
of the silk muslin was embroidered in pink
and gold threads. The baby waist was
belted with pink MORE ribbon and had a
square bow of the same on the corsage, held
by a rose. All around the shoulders there
was a wreath of pink crush roses. There
We're two long ends Of MORE ribbon, which
were sewed under a bunch of three large
roses, and a double bow with fshtail ends.
The elbow sleeves were made of one droop-
ing puff. The whole gown was lovely.
There was a wreath of pink roses intended
to wear in the hair with this gown.
a been pleased to note that the rich
MORE silks are again c%ominginto vogue for
elegant costumes for both young and old.
The colored and tinted moires make eNcep-
tionally rich gowns for the young married
ladies and the black for the older and mid
die aged ladies. They are also worn for
half mourning. took particular notice of
a dress of black MORE made for a young
widow OF three years, now in her last stage
OF mourning en- reggie. She had a rich black
MORE antique, cut princess, with the back
of the skirt very full. There was a row of
line jet passementerie around the bottom.
Inc upper sleeves were MORE, and the low
er portion was OF black crepe lisse closely
shlrred over white satin. There was an
inset vest front to the waist made in the
same manner, bordered with a pointed ber-
tina OF passementerie.
There is a difference between MORE and
MORE antique. The first has the pattern
or shading which makes the ''watered" ap-
pearance small and of almost regular pat
tern. Tn MORE antique has large and ir-
regular patterns. This is caused by pres
sure, and there is nothing that could be
richer. MORE, or ''ondine," as some call it,
is not generally of as good quality as the
MORE antique. When one buys MORE of
second quality, it can be made to look
equally rich by lining it with canton fan
mel. This also holds true with thin sat-
ms. 1t seems to give them body and
weight, and they fold in a rich round style
that is the distinguishing trait of the best
and most expensive qualities. MORE sleeves
and other garniture for fine dresses give a
very elegant and sumptuous effect. White
MORE is beautiful for wedding gowns. Not
even satin can throw w the beauty of lace
as can MORE.
The same house that made the last men,

was notable for it's simple lines and genu-
