New York, April 27.-F'or Il dainty

whether any dress and lat provided
for the warm days Of JUNE could sur

The dress is modelled Oh on brought

daughters Of very Wr3i[HE lHn4liy.
and the dress and relAHTk%u!> hat i'll
question were TO be S"'il at Il recent
grand wedding. though the pretty
wearer was not one OF the three brides
maids
The fr0"!< was male Of dotted S'T'iss
muslin. the dots being Of Worst"d in
a dark rcd and Of Irregular sizes.
There were three narrow ruhtes at the
edge while the waist was adjusted to
the figure by shirrings. The under dress
was Of red silk, and on the sleeves and
pelerine were Topped bows Of black
velvet ribbon and a line of the same
run in trou trOu. A deep pelerlne was
formed by two widths of white crepe
de chine richly embroidered in white
silk. This also formed rutf1es to the ell
bow sleeves The hat was made of red
shirred chiffon, with a fiat crown, on
which was laid at the backea bunch Of
dark red cherries of heroic size, with
few shaded leaves lying along the
crown. But the careful finish Of the
folds around the brim and along the
edge Of the crown made any other
trimming seem superfuous.
A very striking blouse suit was
shown recently for girl of about the
| same age, though, generally speaking,
young girls do not wear striking gar
| ments. This one had the skirt of dark
gray cheviot with shaped fiounce, at
| the bottom of which were seWed three
| rows of rich black braid fagoted to-
| gether by bright blue saddler's silk.
| The blouse was OF blue Bedford cloth
| in the same brilliant shade, and this
| had fagoting of black to bind the
rows of braid. The blouse pouched
very full, and there were four white
pearl buttons almost as big as sau-
| GERS.
One really elegant and tasteful dress
for a young girl was made in a swell
| establishment last week. The skirt
was of fine blue and white checked
linen. with a shaped f1ounce at the
bottom of dark blue linen. This was
featherstitched in white silk. The
upper portion of the skirt was Of the

buttons in clusters of three were set
along the edge.
