And. by the way. a garden party is one
of the few entertainments to which young

upon the middle aged women to pay
strict attention to what they wear, for
their gowns will be quite as much in

1t is a mistake for women whose hair has

themselves always to wear black. Soft
grays, lavenders and puppies, and even
white, are as permissible for the matron

A bcrdered veil must be worn with the
border below the ehfn. A double width
veil, having loose, easy folds under the

white nets are trying to any woman over
twenty-five. Wells are not properly
worn to evening entertainments.
