THE HOME DRESSM.AKER.
KardinE the Latest In Costumes for Various OccasiDns.

Tailored Gowns.-Thcse have become and include the severely plain and braid-triis med suits aS well. A June bride should include in this line, when she has S3C0 to spend, Il braid-,riI--aed gray cloth, a stitched plaid choyiot, and china blue pique. She sh uld also have white and n pink orgendie, black tafleta silk skirt. two silk blouscs, black serge rainy-day suit and plenty of cotton shirt waists. also white pique gown.
 For one in mourning neat rainy-day gown may be made with serge skirt having lapped seams, and a ilyfront rcCfer jacket lined with black tafTcta. With 1t may be worn n short waist of taffcta in lengthwise cordinga with stock collar to correspond, and toque of black straw trimmed in taifeta and quilIs, and black veil Everything should be quiet, stylish, and yet thor cughlv subdued in tone for deep mourning. Do not wear crape on rainy day unless you use the rain-proof English make.
 Cotton dresses are to be much worn this summer. A nice supply for the young lady visiting through the sum- mcr would include a china LlUc jaCEct suit and white dress of Piquc, one white orgaadic, one pink figured orraGdiC, q green or blue and vhitc dir1ity. Flcn- ty of comfortable, rool shirt waists in white lawn and rique and coiorcd per- calc, Madras, ginFham, chcyiot and pique will complete tais wardrobe. Any of the woolen skirts may bg worn with the shirt waists, but if twG new ones are bought get a natnral-colc"cd linen crash and n black serge T2ic with a tailor-like finish, very plain but well cut, and evenly hulv without any dip at the back.
 Girls Dresses.-There is no striking caangc in girls frocks. They are stiil made with the round waist, yoke effect and rcvcrs, with tiny jacket fronts. small sleeves, and slightly blouse cf- fleets. The new ginghan and pique frocls are made with yolics or ginps of white tucked nainsook or embroi- dcry, but the wooden dresses have yolses of tafTeta. white or colored, made rlaln or with lcngthwisc or crosswisc tucks. Velvet and satin ribbon. braid and lace insertion are all used as trimmings. In materials, children wear just about what their elders do-sergcs, cheviots, caahmcrcs. poplins. challies, foulards, t-1ictas, piques, ginghams, organdics, dimitics, Lightweight flannels and fancy dress goods.
 Colorcd piquc dresses are in favor this spring. A large heavy rib, express ly for jacket suits. is as high as a dol lar a yard, but very pretty domestic goods may be bought for from l5 to 9 cents. \ not too heavy weight should be selected for n gored skirt and blouse waist with shirt sleeves. Euttorholcs for studs and link buttons should be made in the plait and the cuffs. The yoke may be made with either straight or diagonal tucls, or with Hamburg in- scrtiou alternating with tucks. The dcublc-sliirt effect will be noticed in shaped flounces, rufI!es rounding up 10 the belt, and longrointed aprons or pcplums. but none of these VII iron or prove as scrviceable as n fivc-gored skirt made with few tucks as bor- der The material should be washed before cutting, to prevent its shrinking afterward.
 Bridesmaids costumes should never be of extremely expensive materials unless the girls are all sufficiently wealthy to endure the tax. A TrG-ty idea for an early spring wedding would be white organdic for the six brides Eaids, with pink flowers, pink sashcs and collars, pink chiffon hats, and white gloves and slippers. Trim the gowns with ruchcs Of the material edged with narrow white ribbon, using lcngthwisc rows on the waist and diIaitics, lightweight nanncls and sleeves, and several crosswise rows above the knee flounce of the skirt. The flower girls should all be in pure white; the maid of honor might be in pale green organdic over white, with white flowers, gloves, sash, collar and hat. The brides dress of dainty organ die should be trimmed with many rows of lace inserting with ribbon sash. Her veil should be of tulle, and her bouquet be all white. None of the gowns suggested are expensive, as cv- celleut doublc-width organdie may be bought for GO cents a yard; better quality at dollar is 6s sinches in width. Emma M. Hooper, in Ladies' Home
