turely or In proper accordance with her
age there is no more artfully artistic way
OF adequately displaying her blanched
tresses and Of bringing out the delicate
tints Of rose in her cheeks than by dress
ing her, from train to shoulders, In un-
broken and unrelieved white of a proper
color. We use the true color advisedly,
for, in the shops and fitting rooms, we hear
glib talk Of lemon white, ash white, shell
white, porcelain white, flesh white, rose
white. almond white, and then the more
familiar descriptions OF ivory, pearl and
oyster white. Every name here given sig

more or less becoming to the complexion,
hair and eyes of different women.A A dis
tinct and delicious character is given nearly
all the white costumes by the use Of laces
that range, in the quality Of their color

tea color and soft cafe au lait.

Every species Of white goods, from the

A Whit Quartet.
A group OF four agreeable white toilets,
contrived most gracefully and inexpensively
with lace, give timely Illustration to the
present argument. The frock in the chair
shows how a fine transparent almond white
canvas, dropped upon a white lining is gar
landed and medallioned with cream white
Austrian crochet lace. A few straps Of
shining, nat, white silk braid are stitched
on the sleeves and breast Of the bodice,
and. to the rear Of this most graceful frock
stands a pretty decollete thing OF crisp
white Swiss. adorned with insertions made
Of broad honiton beading. A tiny vest Of
mock honiton Is set In the front below two
tiny coral pink ribbon r%osettes, and here
we have a positively ideal gown for the girl
who yearns to present a picturesque and
