After all that may be said in favor of
reflection of the fashions of the en-
pire or other equally gorgeous period of
dress, simplicity lis: usually the keynote
Of majority of the frocks donned for
the great occasion. White, of course, is
the favorite color and the young girls
fancy seems to naturally favor the trans
parent fabrics whose sheer and delicate
quality calls for dainty manipulation in
the construction and quantities of flmy
lace for the trimming.
Silk null, the fine nets and esprits and
the sheerest white lawn are always APP
proved, but where economy is a consid-'
GRAFTON there is the white mercerized
muslin which is used so much this year,
as we'll as white batiste. The favorite
laces are Falenciennes and fine quality
of Mechlin, used fOunce edging on
many OF the prettieSt models. A pleas
ing example is seen in a gown of silk
| null, the skirt of which is in three deep
| t1Ounc(s.
Each Of the founces is tucked vertical
~ to the depth of about three inches, the
| lower edges being finished with narrow
border of the finest Mechlin. An inser-
ton OF the lace again appears upon the
bodice in vertical clusters Of three, which
are then strapped across with CORE
| spending clusters to simulate yoke, and
in the center of the chic little blouse
The sleeves are tucked at the shoulder
half way to the elbow, where there: are
three more rows of the insertion. They
are extremely full at the wrist, where
the material is gathered into deep lace
cuff
The collar, which is high and close
| fitting, is also of the lace and is finished
| at the upper edge with a narrow fold
Of the null. A crush belt of white Louis
inc silk is tied at the back with two flow
| ing ends coming from cluster of perky
loops just at the waist line.
After the frock is decided upon, there
are the delightful little accessions to be
considered. Ii hats are worn they are
appropriately of white maline or chiffon,
or maybe white horsehair, with a wreath
of lilies of the valley, or ones chosen
flower, providing it be white. with a
scarf of lace or soft silk falling in 4
modish bow at the back.
A fan may be carried by the graduate
who would be strictly up to date, in lieu
of the regulation bouquet. Then it is
that fancy may range over the pretty
affairs of white silk gauze, hand painted
in some fetching design, or perhaps fin:
: ished at the top with band Of artificial
flowers, which, when the fan is closed,
F., forms the prettiest bouquet imaginable.
J Lace mits and the fine silk gloves in
pretty open work designs over the wrist
and hand bid fair to rival kid gloves in
popularity. and certainly they seem a fit
accompaniment of the charming costume
in which the girl graduate will array her
: self-New York Mail and Express.
