For Spring Brides
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Charmingly attractive are the trous-
seaux planned for the Easter brides Of
1905. and while 1t might be thought that
there could be nothing strikingly novel
left for the designers to furnish to the
public. the impossible has been attained,
and there Is no end of absolutely new fea-
lures to be seen.
White satin and point-Iace have from
time fmmemorial been considered the
proper attributes of a bride, but in these
days there is far more choice of materials
allowed. and there are many most charm-
ing gowns made of silk. chiffon and lace
that find favor. For an elaborate gown
the white satin or satin combined with
brocade still ranks foremost but the
gowns of lace with court train of brocade
or satin are also extremely effective Ac-
cordion-pleated chiffon completely yelled
with fiounces of lace is exquisitely dainty
and becoming, and has been chosen by
some OF the most prominent brides In the
fashionable world, while in the newest
models are to be seen lace, chiffon and
satin all combined.

larger wraps are trimmed with embroid-

mentfng the incrustations of lace and tulle
ruches.
Velvet ribbon is especially attractive on
the black dark gray and brown taffetas
one small black taffeta mantle had vel
vet trellis work up the middle Of the back
and on either side OF the front The man
tie had sleeve-like capes falling from the
shoulders and reaching almost half way to
the elbow, and these were also trimmed
with the velvet lattice work Walls of
Troy patterns and similar old-fashioned de-
signs worked out in velvet ribbon or in
silk cord are also most attractive on these
taffeta wraps
These little taffeta wraps are in a great
measure made to match the dress exactly
IN color II not In material. They worn
with veilings, crepe de chine lightweight
cloth costumes and all the many materials
used for afternoon driving and calling
tunes. Sometimes however, IT Is possible
to have a wrap that will go with several
costumes. A yellow mantle, for instance,
made round. reaching about two-thirds of
the depth Of the bodice and made of
number of little ruffies with edgings of
tulle ruche II trimmed with insertions of
yellow and white lace will look very beau
tiful with variety of afternoon and simple
dinner costumes for dining at the restau-
rants, provided no inharmonious color be
introduced In the hat.
Next to yellow. pale green Is possibly. In
a taffeta collarette. capable of the most
varied use. But no plain tafreta wrap can
be worn with a different colored costume.
Only those which are most fanciful and
not large are useful for variety OF cos
tunes and then only when the collarette
has been selected In special harmony with
the gowns.
Collarettes or small shoulder capes are
also made entirely of lace. Irish crochet,
point de yenise and valenciennes are much
used. Round capes have three lounces
of the lace around a gathered lace yoke.
Ribbon OF the color of the gown or some
harmonious hue is used In gathered ruffies
underneath the lace ones. These lace
capes are made with foundations OF silk
and without them.
Fichus are. of all these collarettes. the
most fascinating. They are largely made
of linen, but so heavily embroidered and
40 richly trimmed with openwork and in
sertions that they seem to be made almost
entirely of lace. When heavy linen is used
for these fichus not third OF the material
Is left, much Is cut away for the tnser-
tons and open work. They are made of
various shapes. but especially attrac-
tive when they extend down the front al
most to the bottom OF the skirt, when. in
deed. they can hardly be called fchus. but
rather 6olmans. These magnificent pieces
of hand work are TO be worn with tafHeta
and linen morning and afternoon gowns as
outer wraps. For wear with linen dresses
simply as collars for indoors and as part
of the dress there are much smaller fchus
and these are of the delicate handkerchief
linen and are not heavily embroidered or so
very much trimmed.
All manner OF elaboration enters into the
making Of these wonderful colarettes.

Gowns for School Girls

II Jessie has reached the age when she
fuses and fdgets about her dress,
looks at herself in the glass, worries
because her cloak or her hat or her jacket
or something else Is last years style, and
altogether behaves like a vain and silly

duct.

Until l had passed my thirteenth birthday

trimmed and freshened up, and when I had

BY this time l was 60 stirre1 LID that

What on earth can you be thinking Of
Jessie? school girls first duty to herself
is to wear heaithful dress. and, although
corsets are excellent and suitable In theI.
place for grown-up young women, they are
not parts of hygienic dress for you. / hope
that you spend good many hours every
day out OF doors. and that your director OF

any other abstruse subject in the school
For daily use a school girl needs weIl-made
loosely fitting blouses and skirts. and the
weight Of her clothing should hang not from
the hips but from the shoulders.
Deep breathing is your great necessity:
your lungs should be filled daily and often
with the purest air and your chest have
abundant room to expand. AS for shoes,
you must have common-sense lasts broad
enough In the sole and low enough in the
heel to enable you to walk with ease and
grace. A school girl must not wear tight
shoe nor high heel. You are too yourg
and too pretty to reQutr emuch ornament
In your dress. and there is no sense in
your fussing over shirt waists and simple
stocks. hair ribbons and belts.

FANCIFUL FICHUS AND
CHARMING COLLARETTES

THIs Springs fashions are character
lied by plethora OF small outer
wraps in many shapes and mate
rlals, but all fanciful in design and elabo-
rate in execution Instead of having three
or four boas that would do duty for any
and every occasion, 1t Is now temptation
to supply one OF these elaborate little COL
larettes or wraps for each costume. The
variety in style OF these small, triling outer
garments. which add almost nothing to
the warmth or weight of costume but
without which a woman seems not fully
dressed for out OF doors is simply bewiIder-
ing. There are straight scarfs In glitter
Ing materials. In lace and tulie net chiffon,
gauze, endless number of materials
These are OF the true empire order and
are most charming for evening wear with
empire costumes. They are made most elab-
crate by exquisite embroderies lace In
crustatfons, Insertions and edgings. A pale
blue silk Grape scarf embroidered with gold
had insertions OF gulpure and delicate ruff
hes OF gauze and lace added to the en-
broidery. Made OF real lace. these beau
tiful scarfs are mounted on the o,d-fash-
toned painted muslin. Pale pink scarfs
embroidered with silver are OF valenciennes
deiicately dyed. They have incrustations
OF Irish lace TO add to their weight and
worth. There are black lace scarfs en-
broidered with gold and small jewels. and
lavender gauze scarfs trimmed with long
bands OF yellow Cluny. Tulle Is also high
ly fashionable IN these scarfs. Powered
and figured tulle in white and light shades.
bedecked with sparkling crystal drops
strewn artistically over the gauzy fabric.
Is most ethereal Nothing could be more
artistic than these beautiful scarfs They
are very long and about half a yard wide.
Any one who has seen Nine. Bernhardt in
her empire costume VIII realize the possi-
bic grace OF these accessories of the toilet.
The empire ladies wore them loosely hang
ing over both arms at the elbows and fall
ing quite far down the back. They must
not come anywhere near the shoulders. or
they will look like shawls. But they may
be used for head coverings when going out
in the evening.
Small wraps for morning and afternoon
are being made largely of tafreta silk
trimmed with velvet ribbon. lace. chiffon.
collarettes. capes and fchus are Of many
sizes and shapes. Some Of them fall scarce

tarettes or hchus are also made to fail

All In Five Minutes.

DALLAS, Or, July 16-(To the
Editor.)-T is what we saw an
eight-year-old girl do in five minutes I:
The thermometer fingered around the
1O0-mark. The girl was asked to go
to the ice plant, a block away, for ice.
Siezing the opportunity for adventure,
she leaped a 5-foot sidewalk fell down
in six inches of dust; got up; busted
her white dress; dropped on her knee
and laced her shoe; fled to the ice
house and bought her ice; asked a
hundred questions; dashed out; slam
ming the screen door as she ran !;
entered a cheese factory asked fifty
more pertinent questions about the
business; fled around the corner to
the engine room Of the ice works took
in the situation siezed her ice and re-
turned on time, remarking "There's
lots of things over there" The writer
will wager money or marbles that
Dallas can't produce a boy that can
cover the same ground in double the
time and give as lucid an account of
what he saw.
