Here Is the description OF a magniflt
cent gown in an English trosseau, for
which article the bride-elect paid her
dressmaker $500. The foundation Is q
thick duchess satin OF q dogrose pink,
the skirt flat in front and at the sides
but flarlng at the edge; frills OF old
Louis Seize Aiencon lace trim the
seams down the front OF the skirt and
fall in cascades ornamented with rose
cites OF amber ribbon adorned with
vIOlets and yellow hyacinths. The bod
Ice is low and shows no seams, fasten-
ing under folded plalts at the back. In
front 1t Is blouse-shape, with falls Of
Alencon lace and bows Of yellow satin
ribbon. The waistband is Of two rows
of yellow satin ribbon placed apart
are full cpauletteS OF the Alencon lace
caught up with the same violets and
hyacInths which appear on the skirts.
The Marie Antolnette style of hair
dressing is making desperate efforts to
break into society, but the women look
at 1t askance, for ringlets do not seem
possible. At dinner lntime at Paris
the other day one OF the guests had her
hair dressed this way, with two little
Curis resting on her white neck and a
diadem set well forward on her hair.
She was gazed at respectfully, but not
wholly admiringly.
New neckwear is all OF the Aamboy-
ant Elizabeth style, though as yet not
SO exaggerated. Some modish collars
stand high around the throat in smah
lace-edged squares or vandykeS Of
white law or chlfron-a pretty but per-
Ishable fashion for summer wear.
The tip.tilted hat, automatically
dubbed the nose hat, has come to stay,
for It has not only demonstrated Its be-
comIngness, but Its usefulness as well,
being an ideal heRdgear for driving, as
the most inqulsitlve sunshine cannot
penetrate beneath its brin.
The hlghly-colored straw hats, whose
vivid greens and puppies would be quite
too trying next the face, are lined be-
meath the brlin with fine white chip, or
Neapolitan straw. and 50 saves ones
MISREPRESENTATION much to the
feminine satisfaction.
The bigger the bow at the back Of the
neck the more chic the girl, and when
the brlm Of her hat Is filed with roses
and tilted well over her nose. then. In
deed, may she rest content, for she IS
demonstrating the very latest Partisan
mode.
The brilliant American beauty rose,
which fairly throbs with color, has for
the moment superseded all other flowers
as corsage, and the tallormade girl Is
seldom seen without single fragrant
bud pinned to her smart little Jacket.
A handsome new gown has a harlng
skirt Of dark blue patterned in white
check. The bodice Is. Of pale yellow chlt-
fon half concealed by Zouave jacket
Of white satin embroidered with black
butterflies Of lace.
Ona Of the new trimmings is tulle braid
spangled with gold and silver, A dinner
dress Of white satin trimmed with this
presents pretty appearance.
Feminine feet requiring shoes larger
than No. ought never be incased in
lIght-colored leather.
The cloth cape will enjoy as great a
vogue this spring as the more dressy
velvet affairs.
A black velvet bodice is good form,
even in summer provided the weather
allows 1t.
Checked skirts with plain cloth bod
ices are much more chic than all check
costumes.
