Co. are tying bows and fashioning rib
bon rosettes, which are to emphasize
the beauty and supply the finishing
touches to the dainty belongings of the
prospective bride
In accordance with that old couplet
Which says, if she would be lucky a
bride must be married in
Something DID, something new.
Something borrowed, something blue
Mrs. Dimmick has chosen pale blue
as the color scheme Of her artistic
lingerie. OF course the greatest inter-
est centers about the bridal set proper.
of which there are three pieces. They
are designed in the empire style. The
sheerest linen cambria has been selected
for their development. The night dress
is cut low in the neck, and alternate
rows of linen cambria and Valenciennes
insertion form square yoke to the
depth of several inches An outstanding
ruffle is attached to narrow beading,
through which ribbon is threaded,
which at the left side, near the Shout
der, abruptly ties in loops and flowing
ends.
The full balloon sleeves are shirred
into band of the beading and finished
off by deep frill of Valenciennes. Blue
satin ribbon of a very delicate tint is
drawn through the band and ties a true
lovers knot at the wrist.
The decorative scheme is repeated in
the formation Of broad epaulets, which
fall in graceful folds over the shoulders,
continuing in cascade to the waist
line. The back corresponds with the
front, the fingered widths of material
hanging free. A ribbon belt inserted in
the under arm seam ties loosely in front
in a fascinating bow, producing the
desirable short waist effect The char
acter of the lace is exceedingly fine
and Of the popular f1eur de lis pattern.
The remaining two pieces of the set
are deliberately decorated in rows of
Valenciennes insertion, and linen of

material is heavy white satin, brocaded
in stemless and leafless chrysanthe-
NUNS. 1t is cut quite full, and is in
the style called "Elizabethan" Two
ten-inch founces Of Mechlin lace, in
which the same detached blossoms are
noticeable, are caught in festoons about
the lower edge of the skirt At inter-
walls white satin ribbon, fashioned into
an elaborate garniture, appears. The
trio of dust ruffies are composed of
green taffeta, edged with narrower lace
to match. On the front gore of the
pettlcoat, just above the knee, is fast
ened great cluster of satin ribbon
loops.
The stays, as is the vogue, are made
OF material like the skirt and are sup
piled with needful accessories in solid
gold. Another attractive petticoat is
of cream-white taffeta. The trimming
consists of deep Spanish flounce, COM
posed Of perpendicular strips of cluny
lace, connecting fan-shaped pieces of
taffetas. Underneath the lace edge fall
several pink ruff1es, the middle one in
the prevailing blue hue. The broad
heading at the top of the f1ounce per-
mits narrow, blue ribbons to be woven
In and out of it in a picturesque man
ner. The belt is simply strip of bead
ing, through which a blue ribbon is
visible.
THE TEA JACKETS.
Among the array of tea jackets none
is SO beautiful as the one in yellow
taffeta of very fine texture, with a
small printed panel design, disclosed
between the hairline stripes of black
satin. This has been effectively con-
structed after the Louis XIV. style
over modish bouffant blouse append
age. The front jacket portions fall
aWay in revere fashion from the fuI1
blouse, which terminates at the waist.
The back is ample and shirred into a
belt concealed by folded girdle of
black satin. Below it a ripple f1ounce
joins in pleasing manner the well-fit-
ted side seams of the bodice, which
flares over the hips.
Lace and ribbon, sewed together,
combine to supply stylish air to the
dainty peignoir, and from the high

| satin stock fails lace jabot. The
sleeves are up to date, and at the
waist Join folded cuff, revealing a
| lace fril1. which fallg well over the
hand. A lining Of ciel blue satin fur
! nishes pretty contrast and is slightly
in evidence where parts of the gar
ment fall away from the figure. The
girdle effect at the back is repeated
across the front, only in greater
width. Black satin rosettes, prettily
arranged, are quite chic. The black
and yellow color scheme with the
glimpse of blue, is irresistibly charm
ing.
Extreme originality was observed in
the development of the excellent neg
ligee which is to be donned the morn
ing after the marriage. Upon it has
known to the connoisseur as the
Marguerite" Valenciennes. A very
soft silk Of azure hue has been chosen
for its construction. 1t is cut with
short yoke at the back, outlined by
pearl beading.
SLEEVES ARE PUFFED.
Short, puffed sleeves reach the ell
bow. and are held in place by an
elastic ribbon Over this falls a
sign. 1t is two yards wide, circular
in shape, and composed of lace in
sertion and silk. Surrounding them
are bretelles of crosswise insertion
These also form a wide plastron
across the front. from which the full
ness of the garment depends. con-
tinuous ruffle of the lace edge defines
the bretelles over the shoulders, and
further embellishes the fancy yoke.
A satin sash is attached to the side
seams, and ties in a loose knot and
ends Cleopatra like. The plaits at the
back are unconfined and fall in a
graceful demi-train. The yoke, the
sleeves, and the collar are profusely
adorned by rosettes, extremely simple,
but captivating.
Two black silk petticoats of the tros-
seau deserve more than passing COM
ment. One is ornamented by yellow
Dresden plating, showing glimpses of
ecrue chiffon. Another, less preten-
tious, is notable chiefly for it's extrava-
CANT width and particularly well cord
ed ruff1es, which impaired to it a GER
tain Smartness.
The minor accessories of the trosseau
are in equally good taste. A harmo-
niCus color scheme has been observed,
the keynote of it all being pale blue,

The ''sweet girl graduates Of Berlin
have instituted similar festivities

drawn the line on the bier halle. 1t is
in their favorite bun shops that they
meet, and here, as they quaff chocolate,
they sing their songs and make merry,
more or less after the fashion of Carl

as simple little school girls. They GER

open, for the comfort and convenience of
feminine kind, clothes exchange, on the
plan of one which has proved successful
in London that its proprietor has had to en-

exchange is place where private wardrobes

the prospective bride for color scheme,

is an artistic creation in lace and deli

Sheer linen and Valenciennes, with the

as fell last evening is rare occur
renee this late in the fall, and was due
to the warm wave which swept up
from the south, mingling with cooler
current above, causing great preci-
pitation. The cooler current got the
mastery last night and the tempera-

The rain came in showers, but a
large amount of water fell between
$50 and 900 p. M, overlooking the
cutters in some places. and giving the
streets good washing. The rain fell
so fast that the mud was beaten down
fast, and the water flowed off of the
surface of the streets almost as rapidly
as it fell. The water which fell will
leave the soil in good condition for the
winter.
