inality and beauty of the gowns, and al
though two of the dreSsmakers have
French names, one and all have been long
enough in this country to have become
thoroughly AmericaniZed, and their de-
signs are the result of the demands of the
time and their customers taste. To be
original nowadays is to strike the keynote
of success, provided that, of course, the
originality springs from refinement of
taste, for that must be the basis. Why
can Felix charge $125 for a simple little
gown of white crepon made for young
grip Why, simply because his idea of
applying a few yards of lace was original.
No one had gown conveying that same
idea, so he could demand about $50 more
than the usual excellent modiste. Take a
gown lately planned by one of our clever
est dressmakers here for the seaside, it is
of the finest white flannel over white glace
silk, the gown is a.mouel in its way, the
fit and style being perfection, but the but
tons-well, no one else Will have any like
them, for they are copied from the most
eXquisitely tinted. shells. In Paris the
addition of those buttons would make the
gown bring an extra $50.
Our women are frequently accused of
spending more than other women on their
clothes. Now | do not admit this in the
least. We have natural knsck of max
ing the most of everything. Among the
Callfornlan women GOOD ngureS are the
rule, not the exception, and that is half
the battle, for a woman blessed with a
shapely form can wear ordinary garments
with certain air that not the most beau
tiful clothes can impart to her square an
gular sister. But tempus fugit, and. l have
told you nothing concerning the many
lovely things appertainlng to women
which have seen or heard about. Now

clothes. 1t will not alone be case of
white facings and white Innings, but the
newest of blouses are made of white mus
lin, lace and chiffon. Serge and tweed
dresses have large muslin collars turned
back upon them. Nothing is prettier than
this touch of white on dark gowns. Odd,
is it not, how the most extravaganza styles
are invariably the most becoming. A few
days ago [ saw charming blue serge

ton and has a roll collar. With such cos
tunes goes new belt about four inches
wide, made of different colored elastic,
fastening in front with oxidized hooks and
eyes.
Bodices are almost all bloused or chemi-
setted; they are made in printed taffetas,
a kind of cashmere-shawl design is much
in demand, but any soft, harmonious
blending of colors is pretty. All are orna-
mented with black or ecru lace, and velvet
bretelles of black, green, cerise, any shade
affording a pretty contrast or blending
well with the silk.
Yokes and insertions of fine gray linen,
embroidered with white, are quite new
and chic. As it is impossible to line thin
materials with erin, a lining called
gazeline has been manufactured for this
especial purpose; it is sort of open can
vas, pliable and yet capable Of sustaining
the godets in form. 1t is placed between
the dress and silk lining and hem of
erin is generally added.
Chimes and glace silks are peculiarly the
fashion of the moment. Sometimes these

white. l consider them very hideous but,
then, they are among the novelties. Stone
color, with peach as brocade, is artistic,
the peach color being represented by hya-
cinths.
Ruff1es for the throat are necessity, if
you desire the latest. One made of lisse,
intermixed with satin ribbon, closely
pleated with roses at each side, was pretty,
and another had a band of black-ribbon
velvet for the throat, covered with choice
violets. 1t had three pendent edges,
fringed with violets-two long, the other
short.

is nonsense, for see the latest Paris
papers-the sleeves are positively works of
art, but simply huge, and if they have no
stiffening must be blown up like balloons
Grasscloth is used for most of them. Fiber
chamois has been trying to rival haircloth,
but I prefer the latter, the fiber chamois
being heavier and warmer, although much
can be said in its favor; for instance, it is
very wide and costs about 80 cents per
yard, while haircloth is SO narrow and
comes to from IS cents to 81 per yard.

at all. What she uses is the finest linen
you can imagine. 1t is as fine as the most
beautiful table-linen. The lining is of light
or dark-blue taffeta silk, and the skirt very
wide and godeted. The sleeves are said to
be the great point in the gown, being quite
unlike any we have seen, and l do hope L
can obtain cut of the gown before long:
1t has been such a success that the most
chic of bridesmaids dresses are being
made like 1t. Vogue made an excellent
remark few weeks ago which l shall
quote: Zone is wearied by continual ref
erences to the talents of Rouff, Randintz,
Laferriere. Doucet, to the extinguishment
of just recognition of the New York dress
maker. One is led to believe that New
York depends slavishly on Paris for fash
ions, notwithstanding the fact, to those
who are well informed, that the superior
New York houses care very little for Paris,
make their own models and have Glen
tele that is quite Indifferent to Paris.
Our leading dressmakers are their own
designers. They and their customers de-
termine our fashions and are wholly suffi-
cient to themselves" Then Vogue gives on
the middle page of this same number orig
inal designs from such noted modistes as
Madame Macheret, Madame Stauffer, Mrs.
Donovan and Madame d'Antricourt, and

was the custom for the bridesmaids to

similar office being performed for
the bride by the bridegroom's men. In

tear myself away from him. He has much
to say on the subject of poesy wedding
rings; on the frankness concerning the
bride and her dowry of the public prints a
century ago, and on the times of year dur

takes the following from the register of st.
Mary's Church, Beverley; it was written
in 1911:
When Advent comes do thou refraine
Till Hilary sets thee free again.
Next Septuagesma saith thee nay,
But when Low Sunday comes thou may;
Yet at Rogation thou must tarrie,
Till Trinitie shall bid thee marry.

marriages fair woman could not afford to
be capricious when affairs had progressed

Now that so many are preparing to leave
for seaside and mountain resorts, not a
few are taking preparations to counteract
the effects of sun and wind, but women
cannot be too cautions in the use of face
lotions and powders. Recent chemical
analysis of hair dyes and cosmetics shows
an appalling lack of conscience in their in
gradients. Out of many samples examined
at official laboratories not one was free
from lead. OF thirteen face lotions, ten
were found to contain corrosive sublimate.
Women should use such harmless things
as borax IN the water to soften it, or few
drops of ammonia, and the best soaps to
be had, returning if they must with
freckles ard sunburn, for these are GER
tainly good indications, and in the end the
compilations which have not been irritated
with cosmetics will last the best; besides,
II the general health is good there will not
be much the matter with the skin. A
famous beauty noted for her wonderful
complexion confided to a friend that it
was all due to the fact that she had always
avoided rich and greasy food, had invari-
ably had her full allowance of sleep, and
had exercised regularly. There should be
quite a boom in trunks this season, owing
to the skirts and sleeves. One debutante
told me she would certainly have to have
two extra trunks this summer. However,
L am happy to say that the indications are
that the skirts will not increase in size;
that is, more yards of material may posi-
bly, be used, but there will be less stiffen-
ing.
Again the fashion journal announces
that immense quantities of material are
consumed for sleeves, but that absolutely
no stiffening of any sort is used. Now this
