An Expensive Costume.
The expensive costume here rel resented
was noticed at an Easter wedding. 1t is
a magnificent creation of fine hand
wrought lace banded and edged with err
mine, while the belt is square cut girdle
of green Tanne fastened with FOUR mag
nifcently jeweled buttons. This beauti

turesque flower hat instead of the ermine
toque NAV be worn for some time yet
The fur doesn't give it heavy or warm
appearance and the lace over mousseiine
and silk is lovely and dainty.
Velvet Gowns Still Worn.
Even velvet gowns are still much worn.
For instance / saw Mrs. Clarence Mackay
yesterday dressed all in deep red of this
rich fabric. embroidered with gold.
Mrs Mackay. by the way, was with Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, for whom she had just
given a smart luncheon. 1t struck me that
the two are something of the same type,
and there is that characteristic slight
stoop of the shoulders. Mrs Mackay
however, is much the better looking, and
Notwithstanding the gorgeousness of Mrs.
Campbell's stage gowns, on the street she
is by no means smart.
The young society matron had few
days before been photographed with her
little daughter Katherine, who is per-
feet French doll, with glorious dark eyes.
The pictures We're so pleasing that Mrs.
Mackay insisted upon bringing Mrs.
Campbell 10 the studio. though the Eng
lish woman had made up her mind not to
pose in this country.
Mrs Mackay's Gown.
Mrs. Mackay wore with her red gown a
large hat of the same color, having a
magnificent red and black plume across
the front. Large hats are as much part
of her as is the fluffy pompadour which
surrounds her bright face. Another little
fashion which she seems to have par
ticular fonGness for is the wearing of
white tulle fold around the top of her
collar, with a large chou just under the
chin.
All last winter shop girls and, In fact,
nearly every woman you met on the
streets-not belonging to the fashionable
set-appeared in one Of these tulle affairs

The other is a girlish gown of Point de

blue silk running around the clinging
skirt and crossing the corsage and sleeves
On the skirt where the train begins TO

is a huge bow OF broad blue liberty satin.

The dress run with black velvet rib

white embroidery inserting and two rows
of tiny white pufiings. Though this gown
is extremely simple ii makes fresh and
pretty one for informal wear.

After Countess of Warwick.

the same effects.
