WOMAN'S WORLD.

the wise woman does not provide any
more Of anything than she has practical
ly immediate use for.
Then, again, the trousseau should be de-
signed for the use to which It is to be
put. The bride who is going 10 travel for
a year needs quite a different outfit from
that required by one who is going at once
to settle down to live in a city. The bride
who is going to live in a mining camp
needs a different trousseau from that re-
quired by the bride who is to live in a
university town.
The farmers bride who is going to do
her own housework in a sparsely settled
district needs a number of wash dresses
in which she can bake and boil and yet
look neat and attractive, while the bride
of the city lawyer, who is going to live in
a hotel, most needs dresses in which she
can breakfast. lunch and dine in public
dining rooms in the face and eyes" Of
well-dressed people. etc.
If the bride is going to live at a New
port hotel this summer she must have
full dress toilettes for dinners and
dances and evening functions of all de-
scriptions; but if she is going to live on a
ranch and take care of her house, she
doesn't need ball gowns. and she does
need cotton dresses by the half dozen at
least. The fomer needs golf shoes and
satin slippers, the latter wants comfort
able homework and farm shoes. One
needs bathing dresses and the other sun
bonnets. Both need to remember that a
woman should be just as careful to dress
becomingly after marriage as before.

There are no materials more beautiful
than the voiles and light canvases which
are being made over silk foundations of
a different shade. A favorite combination
is ecru or dove gray canvas over tur-
quoise or leaf green glace silk. Ribbon
and lace are the usual trimmings. The
more elaborate gowns show lovely sprays

The fashions of the moment END to-
wards black and white parasols, and
many white silk, satins, and chiffons are
covered with vermicelli designs in black
all over it. Killed chiffon is being made
up over sarcenet, with tucks introduced
| at intervals. The ornamentation of the
handles is all important; they display
rosettes of ribbon and chiffon, and elong-
ated bows, and the newest top are crys-
tai balls so translucent that the seers
of fate ought to be able to discover mys-
tic pictures therein. Long four-sided ham
dies Of ivory have been imported, exqui-
siteiy carved; chenille embroidery figures
on parasols, as on everything else, and en-
tire covers of luxeuiI lace are the fashion.
| Some of the parasols are striped perpen-
dicularly, and some horizontally, on glace
silk; a good example of this had black
lines round to the depth of -four inches,
where they were met by black. A white

MORE, had a very beautiful head of a
sphinx for the top in gold and green EN-
amel, and many in chine are ruffled over
silk foundations. The new elongated
| points are very pretty open and closed,
but they require the outside to be bouil-
lonned. Some of the long points fall-over
a deep frill of lace.
The new summer colors are tones of
green and dead lilac, also pale raspberry
red and some very faint blues. The sum-
mer goods show that white backgrounds
predominant.
There are charming new crepes and
summer grenadines galore. some of the
latter almost transparent. A smart cos
tune noticed yesterday at the shore was
of sand-colored silk made up with CASH
mere. There was a plated ruffie of cash
mere, and above that, three miiliner's
folds about two inches apart. There was
an odd little apron overskirt of the cash
mere bordered with two narrow plated
ruffles. The collarette and belt were of
burnt orange satin.
Tan, biscuit and sand color are in
vogue for street gowns, with pipings.
collar, belt, etc, of cerise orange or
watermelon pink.
Among the novelties in silks is the
'.feur de peche." reproducing the ex-
auisite bloom of the peach. This color
will be popular in millinery also for
blouses and fete gowns.
Violets, as usual, are worn whenever
a woman has an excuse to wear them,
ana a pretty parasol had a bunch Of them
placed at the point of each rib. The
white chiffon was then SO puffed and
ruffed above them that 1t was hard
to say just what the design was. But the
effect was simply a white cloud. The
smart coaching umbrellas are of plaid
silk or the color to match a gown, and
sometimes they are crimson. The color
of the English hunting pink Is used, and
the reflection is most becoming then.
Some of the parasols a mousseiine

half way, so transparent that the shady
part is small indeed. However. these are
novel.
