Parasols of the material like the gown are
the correct thing to have.
Vinaigrettes of silver or gold handsomely
enameled and set with precious stones are
in favor.
French designers continue to make all
sorts of pretty effects in the use of black
velvet ribbon.
pretty friendship heart, handsomely en-
ameled in green or pink, is set with dia-
monds and rubies.
Card cases of open silver work, embossed
and relieved by bright cuttings, are among
the seasonable novelties
Feather boas in black, white and gray are
one of the very active fads of fashion in
London, and at least three boas are con
sidered necessary addition to the summer
outfit.
Hats of black Brussels net run with infn-
itesimally narrow tucks very close together
are one variation of millinery, and again
you see hat brms lined with tucked chiffon.
Dainty boleros of Renaissance lace and
| embroidered chiffon fastened at one side
with bow of velvet or silk ornaments adorn
many of the bodices of the foulard gowns.
Long, slender white wings are one of the
| special features of millinery and are espe-
cially pretty on the white straw hats
trimmed with tulle or chiffon and a black
velvet bow with stunning buckle.
An exqusitely wrought brooch in the
shape of a lizard has set in the back II row
of diamonds which are surrounded by
emeralds. Rubes serve as the eyes, and
| in the open jaws is set large pearl.
The new silk and lace stocks are an ex-
| tremely dainty and comfortable fashion, for
| in hot summer days even the most rigid
devotee of tailor styles is glad enough 10
substitute them for the stiff linen collar.
| The white pique skirt is indispensable to
| the summer girls outfit, and with this the
correct thing is the lawn shirt waist, snowy
white, kid belt and a white or violet neck
tie. Ecru piQue skirts, with the white
waists, are also very stylish.
Some Of the daintiest white shirt waists
have little stripe in the material, dlmlty
| fashion, that is very pretty in effect. These
| are made perfectly plain without Hamburg
or lace, which in many waists where 1t Is
not fine, is Disagreement.
/ Black bonnet silks of fine luster are lineo
with white taffeta Soyeux, with accessories
of the white silk overlaid with black chan
tilly insertions, and with further decora
| tions of black velvet straps and rosettes
| and ensuite with every full dress toilet IL
a boa, many varieties of which are to be
had. .n.

was fashionable for women to be timid and

woman was So endeavored to put on this

count in those days, just as timd ones are
now. Now that it is fashionable to he brave
we all try to be so. If we haven't the virtue

all things seemed very much against her.
And then, too, speaking Of the assumed
bravery, women have suffered so much in
all ages and it has been thoroughly in
grained into the feminine nature that 1t is
neither wise nor womanly to be perpetually
complaining that a sort Of forced courage
has become practically instructive. Men are
really braver, perhaps, but they have never
learned to disguise their feelings so well

Britnin's Queen Said TO Bc secret
sympnthizcr of Dress Reform.


II is not very generally known, perhaps,
that some years ago Queen Victoria caught
the dress reform fever and Joined an asso-
citation. She furthermore invegled a num-
Der of her dowager friends into becoming
members.
Although the queen never astonished her
court by appearing in dress cut a la refor-
nation, she thought the idea Of some not
too radical reforms in dress capital one
al least for the other women
Through the queens influence the princess
OF Wales and her daughters became inter-
ested and for a brief season Princess Vic
tora and the duchess of Fife appeared upon
occasions in garbs that were at least semi
reformed.
1t cannot be said however, that they ever
became violently enthusiastic upon the SUBJ
ject.
During the last fifteen years the princess
OF Wales has scarcely varied the fashion of
her costumes at all. Through the age of
big, puffed sleeves she clung to small ones.
For the make Of her gowns the style known
as the princess" has always been adhered

Enormous Cost of the Social Launch
of IL Young Lady.
A girl is a very expensive luxury nova
days, whether she lives in England or
America. Still it costs more to make ones
debut in England than it does in America,
for over there a girl is not properly intro
duced until she has been presented at court
and the cost of launching daughter in So
ciety is something to drive impecunious
fathers into lunatic asylum. One girl who
came up from her Berkshire home to be
presented this spring has given an account
of what she endured and what her fathers
pocketbook suffered. First, large aristo-
cratic and handsomely furnished house was
rented in London for the season-nearly
every one rents his town house now-and a
big rent charged. Then began the work of
laying in a wardrobe.
This girl first paid visit to place where
corsets are made to order. She had a.
pretty figure, but madam insisted that she
must have an eighteen inch waist to be
beautiful. She was measured and fitted for
riding, opera and ordinary corsets and the
bill came to $780, Twenty five pair Of the
smartest boots and slippers added to the
bllls. A score of pretty hats, to go with
various dresses, made big hole in $500, and
three times the amount went to the dress
maker. A riding habit cost $50, a bicycle
suit the same and several dozes pairs of
gloves to match were no small item
The presentation dress cost 5000, though
1t was plainly made of exquisite white satin
broche. For fee of SIS lady came and
taught the young lady the court bow, the
way to courtesy and carry her train This
was hard work for the debutante and she
said she was as tired after an afternoon
with her teacher as though she had spent
the time on the golf links. And after all
the time and trouble it was but few brief
seconds she spent in the royal presence.

ARoTHsCHILp WEDDING.

The wedding of Lord Roths cDild's
daughter, Lady Charlotte Evelina
Ro,hschild, to Lieutenant Give Beh-
rens, which was solemnjz3d at the new
Vest Eud Synagogue, Bayswater, says
the London Leader, was modest and
unostentalious ceremony-almost even
to sombreness.
The Jews are proud of their Roths-
childs, and if there is anything that
would increase that pride it is that Eve.
lima Rothschild did not go outside the
community for husband, and that that
husband was not banker or business
man, but one of the rapidly.increasing
uand of Jewish officers in the army and
a son of well-knowp Jewish philan
throp st OF Manchester.
After the choir bad burst out in the
Joyous hymn, blessed Be He That
Cometh in the Name of he Lord" the
bridal procession entered and took its
place under the chupah--a handsome
canopy under which f'cm time i'm
memorial Jewish weddings have been
invariably performed.
The bride wore magnificent dress
of rich ivory satin; the bridesm aids
one of them Lady Siby Primrose
daughter of Lord Rosebery-were at
tired in blue liberty satin. sid wore
cream Leghorn hats, with red roses
tied under the chin with black ribbon
velvet.
There were also several page-boys in
flesh colored stockings, blue satin
shoes with large buckles, and white
Cavalier hats with white feathers. AL.
together charming little procession.
The Rev. S. Singer, the former teach
or of the bride, then delivered al
eloquent little address to the couple,
dwelling upon the beauty and triumph
of love, which conquers all things, and
adorning his periods with quotations
from the "Song of Songs" the great
Hebrew idyll.
Then came the pledgiug of troth-a
recent innovation in Jewry, but in
which lady champions will rejoice to
hear the bride promises to love her
husband, but not to obey him. There
is no question of that.
Then followed certain curious bene-
diotious in Hebrew glorifying marriage
chastity. and then the bridegroom,
placing the ring on the brides finger,
repeated the words, Behold, thou ait
consecrated to me by this ring, accord
ING to the law of Moses aud Iarael'-
the usual Jewish wedding formula.
The chief rabbi, attired in white and
scarlet academic robes, then read the
six benedictions prescribed at Heore"
marriages, after which q small wine
glass was laid upon the floor, aud me
bridegroom was asked to stamp upon 1t
and crush it. This breaking OF the glass
is various explained es hint that lie
hes its shade as we'll asils light, and as
reminder of the desola,iou OF Ja.rsa' EN-
and the still uuended captivity OF Israel.
Tue chief rabbi then solemnly pro-
nounced the pentateuchal blessing,
