A BEAUTIFUL EVENING GOWN
Another evening gown of quite a diff
ferent type Is all Of lace, excepting the
tlny edge of the skirt, which peeps below
the long lace redingote. This is of soft
HDerty satin in a creamy white. This lace
Dress Is creamy ecru and fits the figure
like new French glove, the seams being
held tight all the way with featherbone
1t fastens In the back and is decollete
| Where 1t faStens there are little yellow
| velvet buttons. and cluster of black
velvet roses with yellow centers crosses
| one shoulder.
| There are sleeves to this gown but they
do not extend to the shoulder looking
| more like long mitts.
This gown also trails about the feet and
Is exceedingly close-ftting about the hips,
| giving an effect1of sextr eme slenderness-
| an effect. by the way. which Miss Fair
cultivates in all of her gowns
| To jump from evening robes to street
| gowns rs to tell about a handsome tailor
| gown which Miss Fair intends to wear
| soon after her marriage-in fact, 1t may
be intended as the goingaway gown.
This is of lightweight spring broadcloth
| OF the new variety, which has a surface
almost like satin. Ii is of a lovely shade
| OF silver gray. made up with strapped
| seams and numerous strap decorations
| The gown is odd because of its little cut
away coat rounding down to a rather long
| tab-like tail at the back. This coat opens
| broadly In front and has two waistcoats.
one of a sort of dull peacock green and
| the other of rich mauve cloth. They
| open one over the other. and show
ruffled skirt of white silk null or grass
linen. The combination of these two pc
| culiar colors with the clear silver gray
is very fetching and decidedly foreign
looking.
A DRESS FOR ORDINARY WEAR.
A turban of black tulIe, jetted finely,
| Is to be worn with this gown, and it has
!; for trimming a single tall white plume in
front. held by large ornament of fine
cut steel
The most practical and plain gown in
all: the wedding. outfits is of navy blue
lightweight serge. This is made up with
coat bodice, opening over a bright
scarlet vest fastened with gold buttons
[ There is finely tucked shirt of finest
white linen. with a standing collar and
masculine tie.
Brick-colored gloves and large rough
| straw turban. after the Spanish toreador
style, will be worn with this gown.
A walking stick will also be carried, and
single magnifyng eyeglass will dangle
from a fine gold chain about the neck.
There are a dozen fine white shirt
waists for hot summer days, and these
have the yokes and front pieces embroi-
dered by hand as delicately as a pocket
collars with bows and ends in front, and
white pearl dumb-bell studs are in each
cuff, to show how simple are the access
series of a shirtwaist. Women worth a
few thousand would probably, have gold
studs set with diamonds, but not so with
the future Mrs. Vanderbilt.
There are some lovely white pque
gowns also for the hot summer days.
and these have little jackets. most beau
tifully enriched with white braiding. one
gown having the pique cut-away in places
under the embroidery.
There is one beautiful, dainty white
| muslin with a long floating skirt covered
with little inch-deep ruf1les. and having
| the bodice set in with the most delicate
needlework The arms and necks show
| through plainly in this, and a pale-blue
sash ties about the waist
A hat of leghorn heaped with tumbing
white ortrich plumes will be worn with
/ this, and will make 1t an ideal summer
toilet such as one reads about in old
fashioned poetry.
