PARISIAN MOURNING.
FASHIONABLE GOWNS FOR THIS SEASON
"A DAINTY sTROUssEAU.
Paris April 20.

Paris, April 20.
In regard to mourning the French have been per-
haps the most conservative nation. Not only has
mourning been generally worn here than in
other countries. but the laws governing the of
the dress and the material of which 1t is made
have been most clearly defined. No French woman
trusts her ordinary dressmaker milliner pro-
vide her mourning for her. Certain shops and
establishments in Paris make a speciality Of mourn
ing, and take orders for other style OF costume.
These places vary greatly in price do estab-
lishments of another sort: high priced
and fashionable. and others humble. but for the
very reason that the laws governing mourning are
strictly defined in France going into black need
not be expensive a change 1t Is in other
countries. Even the humber shops that deal ex-
clusvely in black goods know what is correct in
that line.
There is to be seen. however. slight change in
the attitude of the French toward mourning. Ger
tainly that seen to-day IS pretter coquettish
II one may the word, and includes a greater
variety of designs and fabrics than the mourning
of half dozen years ago. The manager of one of
the largest and best known emporiums of this sort
while admitting that greater latitude in this respect
is permissible, has ingenious explanation of the
reason for the change.
Formerly he says, lit the general custom
among Frenchwomen to wear black costumes for
the street and therefore it necessary that the
mourning costume should be strictly defined that
IT might be recognized such Now that
women wear blue. brown, and, in fact. all quiet
shades for the street greater latitude may be
allowed the mourning costume"

TO BE WORN AT WEDDING.

One of the smartest spring weddings promises
to be brilliant from the point of view of the
milliner. The wedding dress is perfectly conven-
tional, long affair of dead white satin. trimmed
only mOusselfne de sole and orange blossoms.
Now, when so many brides are attempting some
thing unusual in the way of wedding gowns. this
return to the oldtime simplicity appears almost In
the light OF novelty. But the gown for the ciyll
country and the gown is therefore somewhat more
Ella borate than would he allowed bride married

erty satin. trimmed elaborately with Irish lace.
ON the sides the skirt is shrred for a space some
four inches broad and six inches long. and on each
sic of shirring starts waving entredeuX OF
the beautiful lace that descends TO the bottom OF
the skirt. Between the entredeux at the bottom
is lace motif that is several times repeated about
