row ribbon run round it in numerous
rows. and at the back was little bow
of the broader width. Growing the
chevalure of red hair was a white
Neapolitan sailor hat which had a
wreath of dark green flowers in fine
masses b2th above and below the edge
of the brim.
The effect was most artistic. for it
did not give even hint of struggle
to accomplish it. \ sash of dark green
ribbon with long ends tied at the back
completed the costume.
Before l forget it, must tell you
that all our best girls are trying to in
augurate and establish the fashion Of
going without gloves.
Their pretty hands with namesake
or birth ring add to the simplicity Of
their delightful toilets, as they walk
down our fashionable streets and
avenues. or drive leisurely in papa's
turnout through Central park. attended
by maid.
But what of the girls whose napas
have no turnUuts, and who nave no
maids to attend to them?- hear some
girl ask.

a broad hem on the skirt is enough

come color of ribbon that you can
wear, and which will harmonic with
your hat and hair. Have a parasol of
white China silk and pair of white
silk mitts, or silk gloves with embroid-
cred wrists. and then you are fit for
any company if you are still in your
early teens. As rule our girls grow
old too fast.
If you wear long dresses at fifteen,

is a rage just now for pink and black,
and l attended wedding at Grace
church last week where the maid of
honor wore pink satin gown with a
black Leghorn hat covered with pink
roses She was the brides sisters
miss of fourteen-and looked very
charming, but little odd, or perhaps,
might say, quaint. Black is not often
seen at wedding, but since then I
have noticed the prevalence of pink and
black in fashionable circles, and only
yesterday saw a pink null ON a young
girl. which had a black satin sash and
bows while the trimming was narrow

The hat with this costume was white
