 It is a passing fancy to tuck striped goods in such O way that the stripes are visible; and again so that the stripes do not reveal themselves, so that it looks like two materials. Of course the tucks are no wider than a straw, and lie very close together. An endless amount of handiwork is put mp ashrdlu aetaoi ?gehvbgkqj w is put upon these dresses, and the coutur- ieres vie with each other in making each gown a little bit fussier and more elabor- ate than the others

Their bodices are, how ever, very elaborate, and are a mass of fine tucxing and lace. Lace cloth comes in all materials.

three tunics, all opening in front and ter minating in a point just in the middle of the front breadth. The tunics were bor- dered with a coarse, lace-like material of silk. The bodice was sleeveless and low in the neck, and was for wear over very tight-fitting waist of lace cloth.
 Hats are receiving more attention than ever before, and are poetic in this har- monies An exquisite hat built for young woman who is to attend the wedding of Miss Mable Mckinley, and who has had many handsome hats and gowns made for her visit to Wasn't that festive week, Is of bluebell straw, with layers of white between the rows of blue.
 The top is big soft bag of turquois blue satin, trimmed with the green leaves of the rose plant. These leaves lie all around the crown, and are set in the folds with irregularity, the deep green of the leaves looking charming against the turquois blue of the crown. At one side there is an im- mense red rose as large as the biggest American beauty that ever grew This is beautiful pattern for a summer hat, and one that, while a. picture hat, is not too striking for street wear.
 A round hat with round brim is trimmed upon the edge with a fall of ecru lace. The top is trimmed with the same lace, which
The age-herald., 1900-04-22

is twisted around the crown and carried up to the back in a big loose fold, where 1t is hidden up under a great bunch of roses.
 The trimming of this hat is rather odd, as the roses lie at the back, high upon the coil of lace, while the stems point toward the front and terminate upon the brim just over the forehead, where the roses gener- ally lie.
 Ribbon, as a hat trimming, has been supplanted by lace and satin, though sometimes used in bows and in rosettes which are so- skillfully made as to look like pon pons. The softest effects are sought and the hard outlines of felt and straw are avoided.
 It is rumored that the queen, or her daughter, the Princess Christian, will hold a garden party this June, and, to antici- pate such an event, several very smart American women have ordered handsome costumes and picture hats.
 The Countess of Craven who looks like child, though she has been married since 1S93 and must now be fully twenty-six years old, has a new gown which is a dream in prettiness; a sort of peaches and cream delicacy pervades it, but in sum- mer one can stand great deal of peaches and cream.

 Plaid is the ruling fancy of the moment and plaid, whether in silk or wool, is made up into charming summer dresses. Plaid wool skirts with the tiniest and most bril- liant thread of silk crossing the plaids is made up in the new mode skirts which are tucked around the belt and f1aring around the hips These skirts set as close as can be imagined for six inches below the belt line, where the tucks suddenly cease and the skirt falls plain to the very hem.
 To make the new skirt very attractive there Is deep skirt of silk, bordered with deep ruffie of the dress goods. This drop skirt is quite short, escaping the ground all the way around, so 1t is not necessary to hold it up The outer skirt only is lifted and the drop skirt hangs nearly to the ground. This pretty fashion is less tiring on the arm than that of lifting the whole skirt and drop skirt.
