I uating sister the problem is compar
atively simple and the expense Of a
suitable dress not great. But, If the
embroideries have to be purchased
the cost of even a simple dress may
rise to a prohibitive figure.
The lines of the graduating dresses
should be simple and graceful and
their overlooking with frills, fiounces
etc, should be carefully avoided
However, there is ample room for
elaboration of details to produce any
variety of effects from the plainest
and most severe to the frivolously
ornamental. Princess effects are very
pretty and will be used a great deal
this year. Graduated tucks are quite
suitable for ornamenting the skirts.
The waist will in most cases be made
with a deep yoke and, perhaps, with
a bertha falling over the sleeves.
There will be a great variety Of
sleeves, from the full top sleeve,
with close fitting long cuffs of lace or
transparent material, to the short
elbow sleeves, with frills at the lower
end.
Openwork effects will be compar-
atively rare this year, excepting of
course the popular Broderie Anglaise
and Teneriffe openwork. Raised EN-.
broidery designs on sheer founda.
tions will be the most popular. These
embrolderies are exceedingly pretty
AMI can be bought in varying widths
and at prices equally varying. These
materials are just as suitable for in.
sertions and founcings, as they are
to form the actual foundation of gar.

Fleshy women will be delighted to
hear of new invention brought out
by some Enblish manufacturer, which
will enable even a woman of consid.
cradle embonpoint to dress in fashion
without making herself ridiculous
The invention consists in detachable
founce, which is fastened below the
hip line and gives to the dress the
proper fiaring effects, without adding
to the dimensions of the hip part. The
fiounce comes almost to the knee and
may be. elaborate to any degree 1t
is fastened in band set with count
less buttonholes, stoutly worked and
1t may be attached by means of these
button holes to any kind of a deep
tight fitting yoke. Very stout wo-
men can have the yoke made of Isle
or cheaper woven fabric, while the
slender girl may select nearsilk or
some cheaper lining. Two or three
of these ruffies if home made, will
cost little more than silk petticoat,
ready made and are decidedly valu-
able addition to any woman's toilet
outfit, while the present style lasts.
June brides are confronted with
the delightful task of planning their
wedding dresses. White, either pure
white or of some delicate and scarcely
noticeable tint, is, just as ever, the
proper thing for wedding dresses
But white is not white by any means,
when 1t comes to making the most ap- |
selection for the bride |
Great care Should be exercised in the |
selection, as the beauty of the general !
effect of the bridal costume depends |
upon 1t. Rose and ivory tints are |
suitable for the brunette. while the
exquisite silver, pearl or the new
oyster shades are more for the |
blonde. Another feature which de-
serves careful consideration is the
best suited to the figure of
the bride. OF course, in many cases
the question OF expense is the para
mount issue and cannot be overcome,
but under more favorable conditions
due attention should be given to that
matter The soft, clinging effects of
some materials are more becoming

awkward and crushed If surrounded
With the stiff and unyielding folds
