The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1901-06-01

.>AokWAnu- Oolflcn0 and seven
other women at luncheon last week,
IN q palm-room much patronized by
the Modishss. displayed some unique
examples OF up-to-dste apparel. Mrs.
oelrich's gown was Of the lightest and
most summery description. A simple
foulard OF blue ground and trailing
white figure, it was made with bands OF
two and half inch wide cream lace,
insertion running from top to bottom Of
the skirt, and joining with those Of the
waist to give tho Princssse effect. 1t
fitted her plump figure perfectly, and
provoked such general admiration that
l shall not be surprised to see more
than ono copy Of it before tho waning of
summer. A sailor hat OF white straw.
perched jauntily upon ber dark head,
was extremely juvenile in effect. Its
trimming consisted Of one white and
one polka dot, white and black. feather,

tween. A tall. handsome brunette Of
the party was clad entirely in black.
Her gown had sailor collar, and her
hat was plain, with black veil tossed
back carelessly from her face.
Many Of the seasons gowns have
scarf Of the finest chiffon, knotted in
sailor fashion in front just a bit below
the bust. A handsome dark blue tailor.

heavy black-and-whits silk, and where

blue gave decidedly chic effect. This

five. and was most attractive. The
scsrfs of lavender are especially pretty.
but ono cannot be too particular about
shade. Plumes, to be proper, must be
enormous. A bright red hat of medium
size had scarlet plume raised over it
in front, well from the face, and looked
very stunning on dark girl clad in q
deep maroon tailor gown. While the
wearing Of such hats with tailor gowns
may seem triie odd, it must be borne
in mind that the tailor gown Of today
is not the severe thing it vas q few
years ago, being often most dressy as
regards the wairt, while the skirts are
frequently more or less elaborate. The
hats, as q consequence. with their
plumes and flowers, are really quite
appropriate. The plumes are shown of
wonderful length, to 60 entirely around
the big Gainsborough hats. Those of
palest blue, on blue tulle hats made in
tiny folds, are among the prettiest
shown. They are great bother at the
play, both because Of their size and be-
cause woman hates to remove any
thing 20 becoming. Perhaps the mode
will increase the demand for boxes.
Coaching hats are to be more elaborate.
A handsome coat is shown in one Of the
very best shops, made Of silk pongee,
tight fitting in the back and loose in
front, with rounding collar not very
deep. The collar, cuffs and the entire
front on either side of the fastenings
are embroidered in delicately colored
flowers raised up from the silk. A band
Of the embroidery also garnishes tho
bottom of the coat, which is long
enough to completely cover the gown.
Ostrich feather boas seem to have a
wonderful vogue for coaching. As the

House the other evening it was observed
that every woman wore feather boa.
