cred in Colors.
This is the season of the year whel
almost every detail of the wardrob
has its fascinating aspect, for Their
are so many things to be decided upol
and planned for both the dainty sum
mer gowns and the tailor gowns fol
travelling and home year, besides lin
gerie, hosiery and footwear. The ex
quisitely fine gauzy materials so deli
cately embroidered, and which look Sc
enticing in all their bewildering array
in the shop windows just now, tempt
the careful housewife to almost forget
her vows of economy, which annually
are sworn to before temptation comes
in the way. Two very dainty models
one for a dinner gown and another
summer frOck, are both suitable in
these fabrics and suggest ideas of what
may be expected for the summer, which
viii run in mad riot to muslins and
lace combinations. In new dress goods
for spring and summer are the voiles,
very handsome in texture and coloring.
Another new material is eolienne, love-
lier than silk, and having a sheen like
frosty moonlight For wash dresses
the damasks are beautiful, but very
scarce
COIFFURES AND DAINTY ORNA-
MENTS.
Women not having enough front hair
to cover pompadour, and others not
knowing how to arrange the stiff halo
round their faces will be glad to know
that lovelocks may, with propriety, ca
ress the forehead, and that the low
couture is again in vogue cluster
of flowers with loops of black velvet
ribbon is sometimes caught in low at
VIII n
strings of pearls may be worn above
the ear, Japanee fashion. For evening
the high chignon is best adapted to
ornamentation, as ii forms a pleasing
background for velvet butterfly COW
cred with genuine butterfly wings: or
spray-like ornament rising from the
heart Of a black velvet rose; or a
rosette or fluffy bow of soft ribbon of
any becoming color. A most attractive
ornament, for either low or high Golf
fure, is sometimes seen in Greek art
The foundation is of some stiff fabric.
Which is covered with black velvet and
decorated with spangles or with
single jewel in the front. A coronet of |
flowers is very becoming; and a Juliet |
crown of pearls is charming.
HAT DECORATIONS A FINE ART.
A gauzy textile resembling what used |
to be called silk illusion, now known as |
maline, is in high favor in millinery. 1t |
forms puffs, rosetteS, and clouds and |
sometimes envelops flower hat, like
mist in a field of heather The most |
unexpected arrangement of the spider
web stuff is to cut it into long strips,
like carpet rags, and crochet it into
brims, crowns and trimmings At a
recent millinery opening there was
shown very stylish hat of crochetted
maline, in combination with tan leather
rosettes, and dead roses in burnt or
ange shades Maline thus used has a
sllvery appearance, and. judging from
the prime of the hat just mentioned, it
might easily pass for silver filigree.
Another attractive creation was
white Neapolitan, decorated with sew
eral pearl cabochons and a long white
ostrich plume, turned under side I'D |
with the stem dotted witk pearls A |
nat Of fancy violet braid had a broad |
lold of the most exquisite violet velvet.
caught to the crown by a cut steel or !
nament. Of all the beautiful trim
mlngs, nothing is so lovely as the roses
that are used in wreaths, mats and | .
clusters. For travelling or street hat !
a very pretty one was of black lace ,
braid, with turn-up brim, finished with !
a silvery satire straw edge, and horse
hair scarf wound and looped about the I
crown !
POINTS ON TAILoR-MADE GOWNS. t
The hem of a tailor skirt should-i g
lie perfectly smooth, without pleat or
wrinkle, to accomplish which is the S
chief stumbling block in home dress a
making. Since there is no limit to the z
shrinking of wooden stuffs, so there is Il
40 limit to the shrinking of the full
part of the hem, until it exactly fits. ?
Lhls is done by wetting, smoothing. 4
stretching and pressing with hot iron 2,
before the parallel rows of stitching :
are put in. The hem should not be

ular f1ounces, beginning at the waist
md overlapping, and ending at the

LOUNGES are seen on tailor skirts. In
ressing these plain or tucked draper
es, 1t is a great convenience to have II
wo yards Of muslin, wrung out of

lrable. A dainty garment of this kind H
