From Our Regular Correspondent.

June II, 1901.
Travelling cloaks are in special favor this
year and come in mohair, often showing
bright pink or blue, taffeta silk, pongee or
cloth. Shapes are the long sack or fitted,
the latter of course more dressy. The
travelling dress should clear the ground and
be completed by the little Eton jacket
opening over shirt waist and the hat in
outing style, of which there are many
shown, another sign of women's outdoor
life.
Lunch baskets proper are more used
by outing parties than those who travel by
rail or boat, since buffet cars, lunch coun-
ters and dining tables on boats, go largely
towards supplying needs of the inner man.
High grade lunch baskets are really re-
markable examples of what art can sup
ply in asmall compass. Plates are square,
metal bound and slowed in close rows;
knives and spoons take up scarce any
room; tight jars hold butter and china
lined metal boxes, tight fitting and close
together, accommodate viands, while a
kettle with alcohol lamp is provided for
making tea, with TASKS that presumably
are not empty.
Travelling satchels according to size, are
fitted with a greater or less number Of con-
veniences, beginning at small hand bags
that hold merely the purse and note book
with room for the handkerchief and one or
two small articles. From this. an increase
is seen, till the larger are receptacles for
all that is needful. Manicure sets keep
the hands in nice condition; comb, brush,
soap receptacle and two bottles respective
ly for Bay Rum and Murray & Larman' 5
Florida Water, that old time and ever
popular favorite, recognized necessity to
every traveller who values creature com
fort, since after exposure in the sun or
during the fatigues Of journey, its re-
freshing qualities are beyond compare.
Bridesmaids dresses are delightful ex-
amples of all that is best in thin fabrics
and usually very ornate in garniture, lace,
of course, being most prominent When
colors are chosen, pink or blue are most
frequent, the glare of red or tones of green
or yellow being, in general, thought in
appropriate. An element of poetry must
surround the bridal altar, and the blush Of
pink or the innate refinement of blue, render
them truly appropriate In harmony with
the sup posed dignity of the bride, her girl
attendants forego the levity of low neck and
sleeves must reach at least to the elbow.
Silk null, fabric somewhat heavier than
mousseline, is in much favor and recent
introduction is to lay fine organdie in floral
patterns, over taffeta silk and this is
draped by white net, which gives lovely,
dreamy appearance.
| Commencement gowns are much simpler
than the foregoing and silken textures are
debarred in favor of sheer cottons. In
these, organdie leads, with abundance OF
lace in trimming, some waists and sleeves
being made entirely of lace insertion alter
mating with narrow tucks. As may be
promised also in this day of tucks, they
are not omitted and shirrings play part,
founces or ruffiings being foregone con-
