jacket is a favorite model with the cloth
costume. and the wide sleeves do not crush
the sleeves of the dress waist over which
they are worn. There Is apparently no
desire to fit these Jackets. and yet far
more attention Is paid to their being suited
to the individual than the uninltiated could
possibly imagine.
In distinct contrast to this model with
the kimono jacket wrap Is the ono that

met with great favor, especially as IT is an
impossible model to copy in cheap ma

Linen gowns are to be seen also at the

Entire costumes Of taffeta silk are alb
solutely new in design and coloring. and
In most instances are extremely smart,
while never before have there been so
many different models of soft silk gowns
with satin finish; pongee also is to be
noted In the rather vivid colors, while
satin-f1nished crepe de chine is made up
in all light colors and an unlimited space
for the exhibition of exquisite hand en-
broidery on the material itself. No gown,
however. this year would be considered
complete without some hand embroidery
on 1t. either In the bands that trim it or
worked in the fabric or displayed on the
waistcoat or fronts of the coat.
Lightweight cloth gowns in summer are
not the most practical investments. but
none the less are they absolutely requisite
many a day. and for the races smart
cloth costume is always in good style. The
weight of cloth most fashionable Is de-
liciously light and soft and lends itself
most perfectly to the present styles. The
long plain skirt of circular design requires
the skill of an artist at dressmakng
to be turned out to perfection. but the
result Is so satisfactory that the cost of
such service does not seem excessive. There
is suggestion of the princess and also a
hint Of the Empire in most of the cloth
gowns, although the soft draped folds on
the waist quite do away with the hard,
crude lines of the princess gown in its ac-
curate copy. and the influence of the EN-
pire Is revealed only in the short waist
coat lines caused by the skirt coming so

@HlS Is the time of the year when
the most fascinating OF gowns
make their appearance and when
dressmakers have the best op-

their taste and skill. To be smartly

and aim Of every woman who prides her
self upon knowing how to dress we'll and
who realizes that this is of the very
best places to show Off a good gown. Small
wonder then Is it that new styles make
their debut, new fashions pass in review to
be condemned or applauded. while even the
most eccentric and startling OF Ideas can
be most carefully considered and dis
passionately judged by contrast with the
more conservative or better known effects

Picturesque Costumes for rr4des and Bridesmaids.

n RIDES and bridesmaids rejoice in a
n variety of material for their costumes
this season. At most elaborate
wedding recently the bride wore embroidered
lisse blonde made over satin. The corsage
was draped with gold gauZe and Irish lace.
The satin court train was also draLed with
Irish lace and mousseline de sole An
other late spring bride wore white satin,
embroidered in silver The bodice was also
embroidered in silver and trimmed with
crystal fringe and silver tassels. The train
was draped with tule and bordered with
silver
third bride wore white satin, draped
with Brussels lace. The wedding wells of
the three brides were of Irish lace, over a
tiara of orange blossoms and myrtle of
tu!le with orange blossom wreath and
a heather aigrette. and of tulle with a
Brussels border.

Quite dazzling bridal costume was
made of white silk, yelled with silver tissue,
in pearls and opalescent
sequins. A beautiful Empire bridal cos
tune was trimmed with Brussels and
Honiton lace. Most attractive also was
tulle wedding gown trimmed with Louis
XVI bows of satin, embroidered with pearls
and brilliants and having a court train of
lace over silver tissue. An Empire gown
of white satin was embroidered with
wreaths of pearls. The court train. which
fell from the shoulders, was of MORE
antique.
Bridesmaids costumes are also most
picturesque. At one wedding the brides
maids wore gowns of embroidered batiste
in pale ecru, made with draped surplice
fronts and Empire backs Over these
gowns were worn cream satin Directoire
coats. Their hats were pink, with long
planes.
Another set of bridesmaids wore white
chiffon, embroidered in pink and blue. and
their silver crinoline hats were trimmed
with pin! carnations and ferget-me- nots.
At another most attractive wedding the
bridesmaids wore. Romney froeks of pink
striped sauze and big straw hats tied with
blue ribbons and carried bouquets of pink
roses. -..~- g. ....s..

Silver embroidery also decorated another
bridal gown seen recently The skirt, of
ivory satin. was heavily embroidered with
SILVER ,sheaves. The waist was trimmed
with silver embroidery and had a yoke and
epauieis of silver lace. A bridal gown OF
white satin and chiffon was trimmed with
embroidered panels of chiffon, bordered
with passementere.' This gown had "a
