Chiffon is the leading material for we'd
ding dresses, worn chiefly however by
youthful brides, while young ladies past
the Iii; l,ling season or those more mature,
ace apt to choose some statlier fabric,
such as Olga, a crepe de chine with high
glossy surface, or crepe de chine with a
slight twill, or the genuine material in
its own peculiar attractiveness and some
OF the most elegant gowns of the season,
have heen in crepe de chine embroidered
to order. Satin likewise remains in
style, but is not frequent selection and
the same can be asserted of lace. Quite
pretty and comparatively inexpensive
gowns are made of fine yelling trimmed
with lace.

OF lace or chiffon or both in combination,
appear OIL bridal dresses of every descrip-
ton and sleeves are finished in keeping,
angel drapery also being still in great
favor. The heavier class of fabrics are
sometimes made in princess style, when

are round and, of course, vary in length
according to fancy, and wells, usually of
OF tulle, are very long and kept in posi-
ton by garland of flowers ending in
two sprays at the back, and for such
purposes, orange buds and blossoms lead,

have opened on us like swarm of To-
Gusts, devouring before them, all colors
in cotton or linen, except few infre-
quent ones in solid colors embroidered,
this in turn bringing about an immense
demand for wash silk waists in stripes.
They are extremely pretty and notable
girls can buy the material at low price
and turn out attractive garments that
cost but little. Fancy materials in floral
or striped patterns or perhaps both, are
made up in entire dresses. They are fire.
quent, but after all, throughout dress in |
general, there is marked preference for |
plain goods embroidered, rather than |
fancy patterns. OF course the delight
full varieties in mousseline, lawn, etc.,
must command place for themselves
and challies this year, almost compete
and much thinner than formerly, with
satin stripes, can hardly be called
utility material. Department stores have
large exhibits of shirt waist suits in
checked or dotted light weight silks and
they are comparatively cheap, because
needing no laundering and very cool.
They come from SIP to about SIS, the
