reers with a more charmingysselecte
array oil dainty wearing apparel than
will Miss Catnleen Nelson. White is
to be the prevailing tone of more than
half the gowns she has selected for
her trousseau, for it is the color that
best suits her fresh complexion and
girlish beauty. Many OF her gowns
are marked by extreme simplicity,
others are more or less elaborate, bat
| all have been chosen with good taste
and an idea of fitness.
Daintiest of all is her wedding gown,
which is said to be an ideal one for a
young girl. IL is to be- composed en-
tirely OF chiffon of the fiimsiest de
scription, with here and there touches
of exquisite old lace, but only enough
of this will be used to give character
to the gown and not to take away
from the delicate, airy effect. The
bodice is high. The yoke and up
per part OF L e sleeves are of the same
beautiful lace, while the lower part
rails in long, soft pun of chiffon.
Miss Nelson expects TO wear a tulle
veil in preference to lace. With her
wedding gown, and will, of course,
wear ,ne gorgeous string of pearls
that is Reginald Vanderbilt's wedding
gift.
OF other white frocks there is. fully
score. A white dinner gown is
made of satin and tulle, the latter. en-
hpn in ar1C SC oil
lace gown almost of the princess
model that should be vastly becom-
ing. This is trimmed with tiny chIf-
fOn rosebujs in the palest and most
delicate shade of pink. ..,
One frock is of taffeta silk, white,
of the soft french kind. The. skirt
is fairly full, and is. trimmed with.
three graduated Lands of white velvet.
With thissis worn Louis, XIV. coat of
the same silk, heavily embroidered
down the front, on the wide cuffs and
deep pocket flaps in all the soft pastel
shades, The only touch of color is a
tie of black velvet which comes from
under the wide embroidered collar,
hangs almost to the waist-line and is
finished with black silk fringe. This
gown, intended for afternoon affairs ia
Newport, is one of the smartest of the
collection. 49,. ~
Some of the so-called simple" mus
lin frocks are the most elaborate in
Miss Nelson wardrobe Most of them
are fashioned almost entirely OF hand
tucks, shirring or Open-work, and are
beautifully made. Some, INTENDED ppr
summer dinners, are trimmed. more or
less with lace; others for morning
wear are embroidered ON the. sma-
terial. There are some .pfque- and
crash skirts and coaIs to be worn for
morning drives or walks, and Some of
these are trimmed With Irish lSee.
The bIouses to he used with these
suits are mostly of lace or lace and
null, dainty and : becoming, In
scarcely any of them is there a Itrace
of color, and when it does. appear it
is in faint tones and delicate designs.
Colored frocks are not tabooed by
Miss Nelson. There is the inevitable
blue gown, dark, and made for ser
| vice. 1t is smart. 1nere is astallor-
made of dark hue, to do. duty, SOFT is
said, for travelling. There are some
soft-toned linen frocks, and one OF
two pongee silks trimmed with, lace
that has been dyed to. MATCH the ma
terial -...
In this fortunate young woman's
outfit there are any NUMBER of extra
garments-uriving coats, a rain coat
!, coats for evening or afternoon wear
She has negligees, matinees, hats, par
asols, shoes in almost endless va
riety.
1t is to be the lingerie, however, thai
Miss Nelson has possibly devotedf the
most time. Anything daintfer OF
more enhancing it would be difficult
TO imagine. Some came from well
known establishments in Paris, But q
! large part of it was made in contents
in America. 1t is all of the finest
material, and all is trimmed. with
real lace. There is not a garmeutthat
is not marked with the initials &C
