Dancing Dresses.
Last Tuesday Nine. de Serizy gave quite
a pretentious dance. AS 1 looked over the

struck by noticeable change in the cut
of the skirts. There seems to be tend
ency toward fullness, suggestion of the
Louis QuinZe in many of the handsomeSt of
them Fashion certainly shows a leaning
toward the pompadour effects. The skirts
are trimmed with festoons of flowers en-
broidered on silks and satins and with gold
and silver ribbons twined in and out of the
garlands. 1 noticed Nine. de Serizy's dress
in particular. 1t was of pearl gray silk
with slight mauve tint. The flowers were
appliQued in crinkled velvet of two shades
delicate mauve and a faint pink. In
among the tracery of delicate foliage a mar
row, pale blue satin ribbon threaded its
way. The effect was more than pretty. The
decolletage of the gown was quite low, and
a dainty embroidered fchu of the sheerest
blue chiffon completed the old style effect.
A Fashionable Wedding
One of the most interesting events in So
ciety was the recent marriage of Mile.
Louise Lejeas, daughter of the Count and
Countess Lejeas (nee Jurien de la Graviere).
She was married to Lieutenant Georges
d Epinay. son of the eminent sculptor. The
pope sent his apostolic blessing, and the
ceremony was performed with great pomp
at the Chateau d'Aiserey. kilograms of
congratulation were received from Prince
Napoleon, Princess Mathilde and King Ed

bridegroom was the creole patriot Adrien

parchment lamp shades, with weird, dark
figures of women gowned in clinging pre-
raphaelite robes. their hair n bandeaux,
wandering amid stiff yew trees and cy-
press hedged gardens. are certainly new"
and original. Some of the stuffs, specially
woven for the artists who designed them,
are far beyond the reach of any ordinary
purse. Many are chefs d'Oeuvres in color

material with dull, greenish blue motifs
outlined with amber. A delicate stand for

round her feet. She holds light in eithen

coming from a land where the arrange
ment of flowers is part of the education,
1t must be something of shock to the
Japanese visiting this country to hear the
prosa1c names we bestow on our chrysan-
themums and to find how recklessly Ameri-
cans arrange bouquets. He appreciates
that as nation are much less fond
OF flowers than are his people, and how
little they mean to us in life beyond the
pleasing sensations produced by their
beauty. In Japan the arrangement of
them is pursued as an art, being profoundly
studied by men of rank philosophers and
priest. besides learned and literary men;
ladies of the aristocracy are allowed to
pract1ce the art as being likely to inspire
such estimable virtues as gentleness, self
denial. forgetfulness of care and spirituali-
". A lifetime is indeed not too long for
the Japanese, either man or woman, to de-
vote to an understanding of the subtle
meaning conveyed by flowers, and the rig
orous rules necessary to observe in produc-
ing with them the best artistic results
The Royal Flower.
In Japan the peony, although acknowl-
edged to be the royal flower of China, is
is given occasions of Importance the
position of honor on the dais in the prin-
cipal recess, never is it placed in the center
of the room nor a shelf, and no other
flower is allowed to come near it's royal
presence. Sometimes art dictates that two
black twigs shall be grouped behind 1t,
the thought being to enhance. by contrast
it's abundant life and beauty The lotus
flower also is conceded to have royal ma
tional rank, and is called the king of In
dian flowers. On festive days the Japan
csc never use it. they associate 1t en-
tirely with the spirit of the dead The roy
al flower of Japan, of course, is the cherry
blossom The idea of floral rank is one to
which the japanese are very sensitive and
the established laws of precedence must
be closely adhered to in the arrangement of
their flowers. To an American it seems
perhaps ineXplicable that they should have
placed the purple wistaria high above the
white, which they mostly exclude from
their compositions

New Ideas in Spring Millinery.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
One Of the new ideas in spring millinery
is to combine straw braids and tulle, the
latter being also introduced into the trim
ming For instance, Northumberland
braids being procured, each of these braids
is covered with three or four folds of Cos
samer (often in as many colors); then they
are sewn together, broad side against broad
side, the edge uppermost. StraWS so treat
ed are called wolfe" Another Idea is to
sew narrow straw braids on tulle or net
foundation, either side by side, SO as to
touch or with a narrow interval between.
For this purpose very narrow bands OF satin
straw are used instead of braidS. They may
be laid on fiat or only caught down at In
terValS of little less than an inch, so as
to form a loop. Being set very closely to-
gether the general effect is that of a fancy
satin straw shape; it is only on close in
spection that the tule foundation becomes
apparent. Gold tulle may be used as a
foundation for such an arrangement of
gold-cOlored satin straw. Straw SpangleS,
brought out last year as a trimming, are
now pressed into service for covering the
whole or portion of net shapes; in the
latter case straw satin bands are mixed
with the spangles, the latter forming a
simple pattern.
The use of net foundation enables a
miIliner to build up an arrangement of thick
straw braids, OVERLAPPING each other with
out increase of weight, would be the
case if there were second pleat under
Meath The fashion of introducing braids
placed upright alternately with fiat ones is
maintained.

Skating Costumes.
This difference in appearance was par
ticuarly noticeable at the Cercle DIES Aca-
cias the other afternoon. l paid particular
attention to the costumes of the skaters
They were chic in the extreme. One was
of myrtle green velvet. The coat was a
directoire with three short capes and lapels
of cream lace over satin. 1t was thrown
open over a blouse of white bengaline SILK,
with a fluffy jabot of lace. The long skirt
barely cleared the ground and was trim
med with five heavy folds around the bot
tom. The little hat three correred.
1t was made of velvet like the costume and
had for sole ornament huge rosette OF
pale blue satin. There was a frivolous at
fair which stood for a muff. This was a
mass of the deep green velvet mixed with
pale blue satin and chiffon.
One blond girl made picture in cos
tune of grayish blue of a pale tint. The
skirt had a deep fiounce of gray mouflon.

throughout the Season-principally with
Cluny or Luxeuil, plain or outlined with

Luxeuil is partly composed are used to Dor

Braids of this sort are interviewer or en-
