Tulle has been so lavishly used in
millinery, that flower laden hats have
of late been chosen in preference.
Rich floral embellishments are the style
and wings darting upwards from the
midst, are very fashionable or entire
large birds sit in apparent contentment
among exquisite simulations of Ma
tures handiwork. The fad of the sea-
son, however, is the single, long quill
feather that occasionally reaches two
feet and as there is no increase in with,
the effect is frequently grOtesqe But
single feathers are almost always seen
as a completion to outing hats and do
not usually appear in combination
with flowers, being preferablyin in finish
to tulle, mOusseline or velvet garni-
lures, where stuck through, rather
than rising from rOsettes, the quill
stem is quite as conspicuous as the
feathered ending. Sometimes the sin

SKIRTS
White, or colored pique or light
quality wool, in white or delicate
shades, are much more stylish with in
dependent waists, than black skirts,
which are hardly now classed as high
style, unless worn with black waist,
which may, nevertheless. be of some
comparatively thin material. White
or colored skirts of cotton, wool or
silk, are preferably completed by
white or colOred silk waists and though
the two are often in unison, yet con-
trasts are frequently seen and here
there is no rule, the wearer's taste
having full opportunity for exercise.
White silk or fine white cotton waists
are extremely fashionable. Detacha-
BILE yOkes and sleeves are an important
factor in dress: a gown can thus be
made high neck or low neck upon oc-
casion and great variety can be OBJ
tanned by changes.
"Clotille." Perfume bottles provid-
ed with lock and key, are a recent and
valuable introduction, since by the
same, waiting maids and Wallets can nc

Economy Some of the prettiest
if not the most expensive dresses seen
here, are the result of good manage
ment. The custom of yelling mater
ial, allows partly worn goods TO appear
fresh from beneath such friendly over
casting and beautiful blue silk even

has come out fresh apparently because
seen through black net. Combina.
tiOns of material are also largely il
order, and your black satin skirt under
net, with pink satin bodice covered by
black and broad collar of satin would
look charming. Sleeves of black satin
under net and touched by pink.
Curiosity" An afternoon dress
worn by a member of the Vanderbilt
family, who is here on short sojourr
is of white organdie, trimmed with
three ruffles around the lower edge
and a group of three ruffies foot
above: the waist shows fine crosswist
ruffles that meet lace yoke, wrinkled
sleeves. Parasol and hat of white
mousseline. LUCY CARTER.
