never knew that i was possible in
the proportions of beauty to have such
long neclSs, and / began at once to
study the effect. and decided il was a
necessity of fashion. The high band
is In again, and every sweet girlish
throat was swathed in bands of swiss,
tulle or ribbon, according TO the ma
terial used in the toilette. And | must
say the effect was good. There were
cunning little bows of ribbon az the
back of the neck. just where the loose
tendrils of hair fell over them, and /
could not see that the swan-lilie throcts
suffered In the least from the restric-
ton.
Edmund Russell, the high priest of
Delsarte, says that we kill the express
sion of the throat with high collar,
but that must have meant the high
stiff collar. These were the folds of
soft sillxen tissues and gave" with

The young girls dress is no longer
esthetic or of the first empire style. 1t
is made with simple. elose-fitting, but
not tightly-boned, waist. The mate
rial may be organdie, Swiss muslin,
batiste. null, China silk or any of the
dress goods sold for summer wear. The
trimming is nearly always ribbon.
saw one very fetching dress on red
haired girl-and, by the way, those
girls are wearing their own hair this

There was one fiounce on the skirt nine
inches deep and trimmed with several
rows of narrow darlS-green ribbon. The

with the narrow ribbon in rows.
Above this ruffie wide band of rib

ribbon. The high band had the mar
row ribbon run round IL 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 both above and below the edge
of the brim.
The effect was most artistic, for II

Before / 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 nar1esake
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.
'sBut what of the girls whose papas
have no turnouts, and who nave nc
maids to attend to them" hear some
girl ask.
Ny dear. those girls if they use good
taste could not be distinguished from
the others. They each have youth, Il
