The return of lace, I think, gives all gowns an airiness that is hardly cb- tainable in any other trimming. The "all-over' lace is much in vogue now. Many yokes and lbodices are made with this. giving chic air to the gown. A pretty gown of this kind was made of the all-over lace, of rather a heavy pattern forming the bodice and the upper part Of the shirt, over dainty vio- let cashmere.
 Another creation of this kind. ex- tremely modish, was the black guipure applied in narrow bands over white challie The use of black lace on the light materials is highly approved py the leading modistes.
 A new foundation for the dainty gowns of summer has been presented The materials being used fer them are varied, but still each retains some dis tinctive feature peculiar to the season First is a skirt of white taffeta, provided with ruffles galore, especially in the back. Over this is a skiri Of lace edged muslin, coming directly under the outside. You can hardly imagine the effect of this foundation, it is so pretty; more.so when the cut side material is sufficiently filmy nOdCl III S0COnd mourning, saw was white muslin made up ever white silk. The ruffies of the latter were edged with narrow black velvet ribbon. The top and bottom of the skirt flounce as well as the bodice had an edging con sisting of four-inch band of white ribbed silk, set off with a piping of black velvet
 Another day is at hand which all ways invokes a great deal of planning and pleasurable emotions Comm ence- ment day. Pretty nearly every mollier must help select this gown of gowns, and it must be just exactly the correct thing. There are so many materials to select from, that it Is really in- spring. Another feature which Is nc- tlceable is the simplicity of these cos tunes. The popular silks of other years have taken a back seat, as the slightest suspicion of ostentation or display is avoided The thin, fluffy textiles are universally becoming to youth and as this is the day of days the appropriate material is required. The pure white is preferable this year than the creamy tints. Chif- ion, plain and embroidered, Liberty silk, soft crepe de chine, net, null. Oriental lawn, organ6y, embroidered mousselines and nainsooks are all susceptible. of being arranged in grace full draped and looped effects, so much in favor. A pretty creation for one graduate 1 have seen was a com of silk warped Henrietta. with tucked shirred Liberty silk Ruchings of the Liberty silk trimmed hn wide band of white ribbon is wound about the waist and daint:ly bowed in the center of the front With this cos tune white glace kid gloves are worn. these seeming to take the place of the suede gloves which have so long been favored. Other suitable adjuncts for ne graduation gown are the glace kid gloves, hand painted fan with mother of-pearl sticks, and white slippers The latter have not been in vogue for several seasons, but are now coming Il.
 An important factor in the spring are ribbons Every week | lew novelties are added in this line, lntii we now have ribbons by the | core, all differently designed, but each | ingularly charming. Those with the | sherry and yellow poppy designs are | Tery popular at present. but the fa- | cred seems to be the narrow figured | nd striped ribbon that is shirred on | cord These are used to trim many T the summer gowns. The gauge rib ons are much in vogue also. Dainty olored handkerthiefs have place in his summers wardrobe. Deicately inted linen is selected for them. The dges of eCSrso are trimmed in lace nd embroidered in small white f1cral r conventional designs.
