Russell Train, who has just departed

One OF the prettiest of the new chiffon
gowns made in Washington this season
is an afternoon costume, one Of several
of much the same style to be worn
later in the season at Narragansett Pier
by Miss Marguerite Barbour. This par
ticular Narragansett frock. which had
its initiation last week, is a Paquin
model with a plain white skirt narrow
at the hem, and then banded by several
inches of pale blue satin.
The overdress hangs loose from the
waist and is opened at either side. This
is a white ground strewn with small
sprig silks. which is one OF the newest
designs in chiffon and in marked con-
trast to the broad. flowing figures one

The top Of the gown is entirely OF the
figured chiffon, with girdle and sash OF
pale satin.
The perennial struggle for strings under
the chin promises TO be more successful
than heretofore. This old-new fashion
was shown to great advantage at the
wedding OF Miss Marie Thompson and
Ensign Henry Bruins, at st. Mathews
Church. on Tuesday afternoon, where
the three brides maids wore lace ere
atoms, held by black velvet strings i-2
inch wide.
As Miss Thompson. now Mrs. Henry
Bruins, is one of the most youthful brides
OF the year. her maiden attendants were
still younger. making the quaint revival
particularly attractive. Even for older
women the narrow line of velvet might
be an advantage when worn with a W
shaped or round neck. Round necks are.
however, so distinctly out Of fashion that
II Is hardly worth considering them. The
line of black velvet, even when only

ding. for there were no ties, Is a grace
full break in a somewhat ugly line from
chin to the top Of the pointed corsage.
The al lblack hat. instead of losing. is
gaining in popularity with every warm
day. The tulle ruche encircling the
crown, which made some of the earlier
hats of this character particularly sum-
by reason of the multitudinous imita-
tons and bad handiwork of the home
milliner.
The tulle trimmed hat. as worn by the
Countess Gizycki, Mrs. Thomas Laugh
lin, and other ultra-smart young women
in the early spring. was not an economic
piece of millinery. as the tulle was used
in great abundance, as well as manipu-
lated with a view to every position in
which the hat might be used. The pres
ent-day ruches to which less opulent
women have succumbed, are invariably |
too scant or too narrow and usually |
badly made, hence the woman who |
thinks she can trim herself a hat with |
a few yards of tulle will do well to fol- |

One of the latter day black creations
that is quite as smart and hardly less |
airy than tulle trimmed hats is a black |

This is along the same lines OF the early |
season, with the base of the crown
