there is tendency just now toward
celebrating this toilet unduly. This is due
to the impression derived from England
that the going away suit must be splendid
affair indeed
At London. or fashionable country we'd
dings in England, the bride always leaves
her fathers house in a pastel -colored cloth
decked with panne, white gloves and a
plumed hat and carrying a jewelset card
case, and this justly arouses the envy of
the American bride, who desires to make
as admirable an exit, but conditions are
very different in the two countries. The
English bride usually gets into railway
carriage and makes a run of half an hour
to the country place or the shooting box
where hor honeymoon will be spent. In
America from two to five hours by rail is
the first effort demanded OF a bride, whose
pastel-tinted linery and white plumes would
then seem sadly out of place.
A simple tailor made suit is the best
going away gown after all, and many Of
these, already finished for the April journey
to some earthly paradise, show smart skirts
of brown. dahlia red and blue, hopsacking
frie2e. ladies' cloth or French broad
cloth. made to wear with coats Of black
taifeta shot with the color that pre-
dominates in the cloth. waist of white
or pale blue or pearl pink panne Is worn
under tho coat to the great advantage and
satisfaction Of the travelling bride.
The New FouInrds.
To loolVcn these pattern dresses and then
turn to the fashion plates OF 1899 is to find
/ not difference, even in detail. A tucked
waist, a tlounce footed skirt, bearing en-
crustations Of lace, are typical of the polka
dotted foulard and the tan -colored batiste
and the same regulations OF cut and orna-
mentation were faithfully observed two
years ago. What enhances the charm OF
the slate blue foulard bearing the big cream
! white bulls eye spots. as they are now
called, Is the CLEAN OF rose that shines
through the warp and woof of the silk al
every fold. A counter piled with snowy
new foulards shows this changeable light
In every one and a closely lowered gray
one turns blue in certain lights, while a
green one displays violet tones and a red
one Is boldly undershot with brown or yell
low.
AS to the batistes, they have been well
coined back with aCclamations OF Joy, and
in brown and string color, striped with
green and yellow silk cords or fiat satin
surfaced lines, they are more popular thar
ever. At one counter it is possible to buy
the batlste in the piece; at another the rib
bon that will adequately belt and sash and
collar it. The ribbon is pure batiste, with
a colored silk edge, or, preferably for belts
a flexible gold ribbon with blue, green ol
red border is used. To further recommend
and encourage the general popularity o
these light and durable gowns a batistt
lace is sold through which runs deicatc
vine done in a color that will match the
stripe in the material itself.

dressmakers are burning the midnight gas
In a praiseworthy effort at making the
most of every Lenten hour. Because the
wedding gowns are more and more elabo-
rate every year and the requisites for a
full trousseau grow in elaboration every
season, the workroom forces are this Lent
on an almost desperate stretch. or course,
the most important costume is fully
trained, long of sleeve and as high as pos
sible in the throat
In Paris pearl white satin is and has
been. and probably will ever remain, the
wedding dress OF choice and tradition, and
when the Partisan bride is very young she
gets nothing but white silk muslin for the
garnishment OF her satin. Other countries,
other manners and the American girl
lows lots Of lace. a silk instead of satin,
and a deep, deep cream silk at that. Con-
fident of her youth and freshness the
American bride elect does not hesitate TO
choose brocaded satin that in Paris is sup
posed to be only fit for dowagers, or white
velvet that In all continental Europe is
esteemed purely court material.
Bridal Fabrics.
Just for this year Loulsne silk and peau
de sole are the popular bridal fabrics, and
their deep cream, almost golden tone, is
rather intensified by the time tint OF the
lace that Is used in garnshment. 1t Is
the pleasure OF lucky girl to be married
in the laces her mother and grandmother
wore at their respective weddings. and
often enough, where the authentic veil and
founces are lacking, a clever dressmaker
will have good web OF modern Honiton
duchess, English point or Brussels care
fully treated at a shop where breeding an
antique complexion to laces is a speciality
This harmless hoax has been practiced SO
often that IL requires an eagle eye to dis
tinguish between lace that was made sew

music to be played low or loud as desired.
For the gouty person or the owner of a
sprained ankle there is tufted leg rest
that can be shifted to any height or posi-
tion desired and II the invalid Is too weak
or self-indulgent to hold his book there is
an obliging stand that will assume the task
for him. When a holiday in bed is desired
or enforced a pillar bed rest comes into
service and its top, subject to manifold
variations in form. can be converted from
n breakfast tray into a book rest, a writ
ing pad, an easel, or even an instrument
that will hold woods for winding.
To the powerful pillar OF this bed rest
a complete little dressing table top can be
fixed and when propped up the invalid can
go through the process OF shaving or hair
dressing or mancurng before a mirror and
all the proper appliances.
When a convalescent has not strength

freedom OF movement. the walking machine
Is taken from the storage closet and the
most restless individual can come and go

promises to become as recognized an insti-
tuition in the luxurious American home as

woman was taken from one of tho

loss of consciousness after he had read the
memoranda on visiting card found in her

apology for having collapsed. She was

notion that mind has supreme control over
any matter that might seem to the un-
initiated reason for womans strength
