OF rose, lavender, green, blue and yellow,
with a fine pattern covering them. Again,
the pale grounds are sprinkled with floral
designs in one or several tints, and these
are almost the prettiest of any, although
it is difficult to make choice among such
delicate and fairyIike fabrics. There are
close Persian patterns fancy stripes and
geometricaI patterns without number, as
well as solid colors, although these last
seem to be of secondary consideration be-
side the figured goods.
The shirt waists shown as the prelimi-
nary disclosures of summer styles are all
full and have decided bishop sleeves.
They are of figured cambria and lawn and
have plain white collars and cuffs. The
bishop sleeve will probably be saen on
other bodices besides shirt waists, but al

"In selecting bridesmaids wisely
expounds a young woman engaged in
that interesting occupation, ''it is not
beauty that counts so much as style and
carriage. In particular you want girls
who walk well. The slow march down
the aisle is the best test of gait I know
of. I've watched bridal professions Of
ten and I've seen girls radiantly pref
ty lose all the effect of their good looks
by their hobbling walk. Try to move
the feet forward very slowly and see
how easily it becomes a limping hitch.
It should be a glide, then the slowness
is stately. The bride herself is helped
by her long train, her dropping head,
and the leaning on her fathers arm
before and her husbands after the cere-
mony, but the bridemaid wears a short
gown, must look on a level, walks up
and down at the side of another girl,
and so has her own grace alone on
which to depend. A girl who walks
we'll, whose head is we'll set on her
shoulders, and whose hair FRANCES
well makes a good appearance as a
hridemaid, even if she lacks extraordi-
flary beauty of face"
