CORRESPONDENCE of The Journal
June brides who can boast of any
family lace, or fine lace OF any descrip-
| ton, will use it to trim crepe-de- Chine
dress: and thus attain the very acme of
style; or preference may be given to
mousseline-de-soie. Cluny lace is large
| ly used by persons of moderate means,
either as insertions or narrower widths
on ruffies, in addition to lengthwise
tucks, and, within very recent date,
| like ripples on the surface of the water)
with small lace sprays among the rip
pies, that are called ''sunburst tucks'',
rendering one more dependent than ever
upon the dressmaker, as the required
skill is far beyond that of the ordinary
mortal.
WAISTS ARE FULL
with fancy yokes and tucked under
sleeves to the elbow, and these may be
detached after the wedding, and the
dress used for other occasions. This is
piece of economy now practiced by
many wealthy people, and needless to
say where very handsome old lace is
provided, it is draped to the best posi-
BILE advantage around the yoke, but
never cut. Trains are of necessity
round and quite long, as square ones
are impossible with soft materials A
tulle veil may be attached to the back
of the head or drawn over the face, and
small cluster of orange blossoms and
lilies-of-the-valley are on the veil and
at the left side of the corsage.
GRADUATING DRESSES
are also of soft fabrics, organdy being
in special demand, with two or three
sheer underskirts, and if desired much
time and money may be spent upon
tucks or insertions. Fine muslin is al
most as desirable as organdy, and much
more serviceable, but tucks seem an
essential, as all dresses for this purpose
shown by leading houses are tucked on
skirt, waist and sleeves, and not I'M
frequently deep ruffles have two or
three rows of insertion, and finished by
narrow rutfies. Waists have loose fronts
with fancy guimpes, which may be used
or not at pleasure. Sleeves are long,
and tucked either singly or in clusters,
and sashes are slightly punched at the
the back with two long ends.
| TRAVELLERS ARE WELL PROVIDED
with outside s-three-quarter-
| length black silk coats, which are suit
able for many other purposes, long,
| blue, gray OF crimson mohair clOaks,
with strapped seams, and circular tloun-
ces put on plain around the edge.
There is always fancy characterization
around the neck, which is open-ecru
lace collars, OF several little capes bound
at the edges, with a ribbon bow at the
front. The larger proportion of these
cloaks are so handsome that to display
man who has travelled would as soon
think of starting on journey minus
hat and gloves as without a supply of
| Murray & Lanman's Florida water
This standard accessory of the toilet is
indeed recognized necessity, especially
during summer, when its delicate fra
GRANGE is perculiarly refreshing alike to
the traveller on boat or car, and to
those who spend the season in the
mountains or at the seashore.
THE SMALL SAILOR HAT
is still worn, but the new sailor is large
and trimmings are draped and punched
around the crown and brim, until re-
cognition becomes difficult. Dotted or
plain silk, crepe-de-C Chine or white can
vas are the preferred trimmings, often
supplemented by quill, wings, some
times by an entire bird or bunch of
cherries. Shade hats intended for
watering place wear are very large, and
profusely trimmed with flowers; wreaths
of orchids so broad that they fill up a
wide brim, or bank of roses covering
the crown and sides of a Leghorn.
Neapolitan, chip and fancy straws are
all popular. and chiffon folds are used
either inside or outside of brims, and
colored or black velvet bows under
the brim contrast well with light
hued flowers and filmy fabrics.
