hours thinking over the details Of her
trousseau. but HES herself Immediately
to the fashionable modistes to carry out
her ideas. The bride-elect whose outfit
must be built on the limited plan is
obliged to be wary In her purchases.
She will need a smart tailored walking
frock. which every girl knows must have
short skirt, and she will be wise If she
buys this suit ready made-a much safer
thing to do than to trust to the not al
ways tender mercies of the inexpensive
tailor. Then, If the money holds out, a
second tailored costume for church and
formal calling will come next on the list,
or perhaps, as 1t is spring. a frock Of
taffeta. messalne or marquisette will fill
the double role. OF course she must have
heaps Of shirt waists and blouses Simple
little house dresses of wash and light
weight material may be made at home for
a mere trif1e-as to their number. as many
as she can afford Several linen three

Melon Bonuets.

Baby caps for spring are made Of three
pieces cut like the sides of a circular
triangle and sewed together with a fancy
stitch or a strip Of lace insertion Some
times the sections over the face and at
the back of the neck are made of dotted
swiss. while the middle section is Of baby
Irish lace. In other caps all three sec
lions are of fine nainsook. but the middle
section is heavily embroidered This new
style is very becoming to the babys head
and brings the joining of the sections
just behind the ear. SO that whatever lace
is used as trimming will converge toward
this point.
A very attractive cap may be made of
all-over embroidery. using valenciennes
insertion between the sections, and for
very plain bonnets pink linen may be
used. with a little hand embroidery around

A Hint for the Bride.
How often bride ruins the picture pre-
scented by her well-gowned party at the
altar by her own awkward position! Per-
maps she does not stand erect. but allows
her body to curve like a half hoop re-
leased from the staples around a barrel.
Perhaps she stands with her abdomen
out and her chest sunken. as If she were
actually fitting backward, or with one
foot thrust forward and tone shoulder

maker who turned out that lovely white
gown is severely criticised for its poor At.

regality OF air impossible with the long
wisp Of lace, which no amount Of
diaphanous doublure deftly disposed
seems capable of maintaining in position.
OF truth there's nothing more sp.en-
did than a splendid train falling from
the shoulders.
At a London Wedding.
English brides have many brilliant
ideas when 1t comes to introducing novel
ties into their wedding arrangements. At
a fashionable London wedding only few
days ago preceding the bride walked a
little girl who bore in her arms a white
satin knee!ing cushion for the bride. An
other instance recently noted was the
presence of couple of tiny boys In pink.
They were the only attendants the bride
had chosen to follow her. In third
instance the pages of honor wore the kilt,
dress uncommon enough to make a
picturesque effect, to say the least.

and six of better quality all linen. hem
stitched, 21x4O. may be bought for % cents
each. The bath towels will measure
22x44, and $3.50 will purchase the set.
Pretty Trifes Later.
Very neat bureau scarfs may be pur-
chased at IS cents each. and for present
use two will be sufficient. There will be
plenty of time after the bride gets settled
for making pretty little trifles to decorate
the bedrooms.
A pair of pillow shams will cost but a
dollar, and may be of material to match
the bureau scarf.
The total cost of furnishing the bed
linen will be about 1884, apportioned thus

Portable. So, and the set of shams and
scarf $1.75.
OF course the list may be ;dded to or
reduced as suiting individual needs and
circumstances.
Table Linen Is Costly.
Fine table napery is dear to the heart
of every housekeeper. from the bride to
the grandmother; but this equipment is
costly. and very few prospective brides
can spare sufficient to provide a large
stock or even a small one. of fine linen.
The wiser plan is to get what really is
necessary in a fairly good quality and
then add to the list a little at time.
Cotton or even a mixture of cotton and
linen-union. it is called-should have
place among the table pnens.
For everyday wear there is nothing
better at the price than the cream dice
patterned cloths. The writer saw one
with a pretty f1eur de lis design as a
border that was every thread linen. and
would come white with a single washing.
1t cost only Is cents yard. and was
sixty inches wide. Two yards will make
a tablecloth and four in number will be
sufficient.

tractve as the snowy imitation damask

neat cutaway tailored coats that almost
amounted to uniform last season have
been relegated to the realms of the ready
made this year. There Is a certain neg
lige about the most exclusive coats that

ically minded tailor to produce, and l
think we may be absolutely certain that

teristics has taken it's place. which is al

A Shawl Coat.
The shawl coat. too. is another favorite
model. 1t is shapely little jacket, the
hence the title. The plain and the much
trimmed skirts are dividing the fashion
honors Of the spring season. Many, even
Of the round jupes, are made without
trimming. or practically so, but special
care is taken that these skirts shall be
worn over correctly hanging petticoats
which support the outer material right
down to the hem without interfering In
the least with the even flow of the grace

One especially ugly fashion that is be-
ing adopted by several Of the noted dress
makers here in Paris is the fastening of
the skirt down the front seams. Now. no
matter how cleverly this arrangement is
carried out II is never attractive. and
when copied by unskillful hands the re-
suit Is deplorable. l am much in favor
of an opening at the left seam. if such a
seam exists. but 1 beg of my readers
never to permit their dressmakers to give
them the opening in the front seam. II
everybody was clever, what would be the
use of learning how to dress? 1t would
be pleasanter world to go through as
far as ones artistic eye is concerned. but

ourselves longing for a plain woman in
dowdy garments. Still that wouldn't
do. either. for no woman need be really
plain, and no woman has any right to
be dowdy. Wear an old gown with an
air. a delightful old lady once said to
me. MY dear. it's not the gown that
people VIII notice; IT'S the the air; But if

the stock is the gift of her motherAor

is the lucky recipient Of a linen shower.
For a girl in modest circumstances the
following list will be ample for the aver
age needs, and at the prices given the ar

as any young woman may feel proud to
possess.
To Furnish Two Beds.
Supposing two beds are to be furnished.
one full size, the other single, then three
pairs Of sheets for each bed may be
bought The larger size will cost 81 cents
each, the smaller 20 cents. One dozen
pillow slips at % cents each will be suffi-
cient for both beds.
The blankets come next, and In select

Use Braid on Dresses.

All kinds Of braiding will be extreme
ly fashionable this season. and quite a
good deal Of 1t may be done during the
cold weather, SO it will be ready for trim
ming when the gowns are to be made.
Bands Of white linen may be braided in
white or a delicate color-the latter Is
newer-and the simple vermicelli pattern
is a popular one.
Soutache braid is used.
Strips OF net for trimming waists and
gowns are decorated with the braid, some
times used alone, or continued with silk
floss in strands darned in with the braid.
These give a rich, handsome effect.

Deep cuffs OF the chiffon trimmed with

" the seclusion of box at the theater
it is impossible not to overhear the
conversation that emanates from the
u box next door-that is, II you want
to-and, the waits between the acts
at charity matinee the other afternoon
being tiresomely long, I wanted to and
did play the part OF eavesdropper. Two
American women who had evidently just

found mutual friends, and the following
dialogue took place

Second lady-And frightfully mean.
First lady-Oh, l know he stints her

First lady-No. indeed wouldn't
At the end of the performance the first
lady said TO the second lady just as she
was leaving, II am so glad TO have met
you. and do give my best love to the dear
Browns when you meet them. Should
this message by any chance be delivered
the Browns will very likely receive it with
a sniff and Mrs. Brown will probably in
quire the color of the first lady's hair
when the second lady met her.
A Word About Personal Criticism.
While most people enjoy nothing on
earth so much as discussing their friends
IL is astonishing how we all resent re-
marks being made about ourselves. AS
a rule. IL never occurs to people that they
are being talked about except as objects of
admiration. Most of us will cheerfully
pick our friends and relatives to pieces
and leave the room without a thought of
what may be said about ourselves when
our backs are turned. We are SO con-
WINGED that we are exceptions to every
rule that We cannot believe ourselves TO be
objects of adverse criticism. Though we
usually take no pains TO understand the
motives underlying the actions OF others,
we are furiously indignant IL our own are
taken into consideration. To speak of
others as we would be spoken of ourselves
is maxim the soundness of which no
body Is likely TO dispute. but In practice

could not say in their presence sug-

It is a difficult thing to predict the
most popular pattern In spring suits. 1t
remains for time to tell which OF all the
styles offered Is the most generally ac-
cepted. There Is the popular skirt and

worn in spite of the princess dresses and
the shirt waist suits, which have made
their appearance in renewed strength Of
