Decorations for Home Wedding.
From the Housekeeper.

From the Housekeeper.
Almost any flowers which an old-fashion-
ed garden affords are lovely for June
wedding, and those who have wedding in
the family this month need not be con-
cerned about the arrangements. A bay
widow Is often used as the place for the
bridal party to stand, and this lends itself
particularly we'll to decoration.
The curtains can be drawn together and
edged with delicate vines. Between each
window section tall evergreen tree plant
ed in large pot, painted white, can help
make a most graceful background. A low
set at the back of the bay window. Upon
this may be placed a vase of blossoms of
any desired hue, and two tall brass candle
sticks holding lighted tapers. A small
white rug upon the floor in front of the
table marks the spot where the clergyman
is to stand. Curving outward from the
front OF the bay window small evergreen
trees, also in white pots, can make green
chancel boundary, leaving an opening at
the center where the bride and groom will
stand.
Another pretty arrangement Is to have
screens placed at the back of the bay
window, covered with sprays Of graceful
bloom. The ceiling of the bay window can
be covered with wire netting and massed
with laurel leaves or other dark green, and
hanging from this can be numerous lengths
of fine wire or string wound with vines and
each holding from its tip end a spray of
blossoms-either roses, snowballs, peones
or lilies could be used, and the effect Is
the time of the bridal procession. If
wished, these ribbons can be held by four
little girls dressed in white and crowned
with flowers.

EVENING TOILETS WITH NEW HEADGEAR.

will have an important influence on French
millinery for foreign use.
1--WE do not intend to handle any large
hats for theater use" declared one i'm
porter of prominence in a recent interview.
Small fiat turbans of flowers or feaves,
bandeaux with light, feathery lifts and in
finitesimal chapeaux which is wisp of tube
and great rose may, perhaps, make, shall
be our models
Perched upon the elaborate erections of
curled, pulled and waved hair which are
the vogue this millinery, 1t Is declared, will
set upon the head more like hair ornaments
than hats Nobody's view will be obstruct-
ed, woman will be fairer thereby and her
inordinate hunger for fixiness satisfied.
Some painted models of the evening cha
peaux which will make their appearance
here give backing to these promises, for
all those described as theater hats are in
differently tiny. A group OF delightful
headdresseS were fashioned OF twists or
wired gilt or silver tulle satin ribbon or
velvet holding in place wide paradise
plumes, which rose very slightly at the
left and then curled low at the sides of
the couture. The twists themselves were
in the tiniest wreaths, which were set
squarely on top of the head over soft puffs
of the hair. A marvellous little hat was a
tiny saucer-fat turban OF pale rose tulle
edged with wreath of deeper pink rose
buds. At the left an igrette in comics

slant was in shaded pinks. -

described it. but on Monday last the con-

made.
The party left Zermatt at pm, hating
at the Lac Noir Hotel. an hour below the
Alpine Club hut, to enable the venturesome
young climber to change into very mas

brief rest and some supper at the cabin.
the ascent proper was begun soon after
midnight. Down in Zermatt all the tele-
scopes in the village were leveled at the
shoulder of the great peak where the climb
ers' movements could be seen, and at 8
o'clock in the morning a great cheer from
the crowds of visitors and villagers
nounced that the Matterhorn had been won
for the first time this season-and by girl
of seventeen! The descent was commenced
an hour later, and at pm. the little party
was safely back in Zermatt and the plucky
little climber was receiving the congrat-

NEW YORK, August 10, 1906
Theater headgear-this including hats de-
nned headdresses. and ornaments of all
sorts-is mooted subject which smart wo-
men seem to be settling for themselves At
recent hat sale organized by the Comtesse
de Greluffe, a noted leader of the Paris set,
some of the most charming evening crea-
tons were contributed by society women
The ostensible purpose of the sale was
charity. but those concerned In it took the
opportunity to give some excellent object
lessons anent the evening manners of mil
linery. Both amateur and professional
modistes," says Paris journal, were for
once in league on one point, namely, the
alteration of the large theater hat, that
long-tolerated nuisance which has never
been thoroughly squashed here. The tri-
umphant success of the tiny toques and
bandeaux with transparent lifts set forth
by these ladies as approved headgear Is
assured, that the large evening hat
which in the order of things is sure to bid
for favor, will find little place in the we'll
bred world.
Coming at a moment when there Is an
enormous revival of interest in evening
headgear, the limitations as set forth by

one of these short Jackets made Of white
China silk. The back was full, as was the
front, but confined to the figure at the
waist with shirrings. while the fronts were
left loose to be tied in with wide blue
satin ribbon, the long ends Of which
reached to the knees. There was broad
collar ruffied and much inset with lace,
which spread itself well over the shoulders
and bustline. and this was fastened in the
front with a rosette of blue baby ribbon.
which cascaded almost to the waistline.
Jackets Attracting Attention.
The jacket Of all-over embroidery with
trimmings Of fine lace is another model at
tracing considerable attention Owing to
the beauty Of the material these jackets
are made to hang in loose lines from the
shoulders. displaying the pattern Of the
embroidery to the best advantage.
For the privacy OF ones boudoir these
are worn with handsome lingerie petticoats
layishly trimmed with lace or embroidery,
but when It Is desired that they make their
appearance In the bosom of ones family
they are accompanied by long trailing sep
arate skirts of lawn or like material trim
med to match or harmonic with the jacket.
in which case the costume Is particularly
effective. For the leisure hours Of these
hot summer days there are the most fas-
cinating Japanese kimonos whose cool silk
add little or no warmth but much attract
iveness to their wearer. These picturesque
garments show the long Japanese sleeve
which falls back from the arm in such an
alluring manner, revealing it's charming
plumpness, and the slender waist is
swathed with the plain silk obi, tied in

Hand Embroidery and Cluny Lace.
The entire bodice. looking for all the
world like a tight-fitting bolero, was COM
posed of medallions of hand embroidery and
cluny lace set in and filling up the spaces
between the embroidery. The neck was
cut in slight v, edged with valenciennes
while at the point of the V, just above the
bust lne was small roSette of shell pink
ribbon with a streamer of the ribbon run
ming to the lower edge of the empire boz
dice, where 1t formed another rosette. The
very short pulled sleeves were set with
tiny medallons of tucked muslin edged
with Valenciennes insertion, and the mar
row band of insertion, edged with fall
Of lace at the elbow, was caught with
bow of the same pink ribbon-a soft satin.
The long skirt, trailing a foot at the back,
was the most attractive thing about the
whole frock. 1t was run with perpendtcu-
lar rows of narrow lace raging out to make
space for more insets of tucked medallions
edged with insertion at the top of the full
f1ounce of muslin. The skirt itself was cut
in twain down front and rippled back
from the pink silk lining in lace-edged
ruffie that was the last ravishing touch
to perfect negligee.
Simpler negiigees for wear in ones dress
ing room are made of plain or figured
silk or muslin coming just below the hip
line, and are most attractive and useful.
A good model for very slender girl is
made of rows Of lace-edged muslin which
run around the figure, and the sleeves and
low neck cut square, are edged with three
rows of Valenciennes insertion. The prin-
cipal effect to be secured In these short
informal affairs is simplicity and GOODNESS.
and they are seldom fastened with any
thing more trying or secure than rosettes
of ribbon-say. two at the bust line.

The Language of Umbrellas.

From a Writer in Spare Moments.
There is a language of umbrellas as of
flowers For instance, place your UNI
breIia in a rack and 1t will often indicate
that 1t will change owners.
To open 1t quickly in the street means
that somebody's eye Is going to be in dan
ger.
To shut 1t quickly signifies that a hat or
two will probably be knocked Off
An umbrella carried over a woman. the
man getting nothing but the drippings OF
the rain, signifies courtship.
When a man has the umbrella, and the
woman the drippings, 1t indicates marriage.
To punch your umbrella into person,
and then open 1t, means II dislike you.
To swing your umbrella over your shoul-
der signifies 81 am making a nuisance OF
myself"
To trail your umbrella along the footpath
means that the man behind you is thirsting
for your blood.
To carry 1t at right angles under your
arm signifies that an eye is to be injured
by the man who follows you. This is gen.
orally a woman's way of carrying her UNI
brella.

The ways of putting the Spanish comb
Into the couture are various. With the

of the head back of the crown, or slightly

sary with the tall comb, it may be placed
a: the back of the couture. the square top
barely showing at the front. Conserva-
tive people will choose those only moderate
ly high. and true Spanish influences are
shown in the square tops, which, whether
high or low. the majority of the newest
combs display.
Transformations for Coiffures.

Though the garment which hangs in

are deliberately shirred crosswise in clusters
