GIFTS TO PLEASE THE BRIDE
Many Simple and inexpensive Pres
ents That Will Be Sure to
Be Appreciated.

Young girls often want to make
a wedding gift that is not expensive
and yet they want it to be in perfect
taste and, If possible. not duplicated.
One girl has made habit of giving
a guest book or register for the new
home. These can be found at a leath-
er and novelty shop for SIS. They
come in all colors and when marked
in gilt with the name or initials make
a gift sure to be enjoyed and appre-
ciated.
Another girl says she has given
several little fiat, solid gold lead pen
ellis to be carried in the gold mesh
bag or purse. These also at the most
famous of jewellers sell for IS, and
when sent in the choicest of wrap
pings are certainly dainty gifts.
And a third young woman. who
has made a study of appropriate and
appreciated wedding gifts. claims that
the little. apparently insignificant
things such as sugar tongs, mustard
spoons, butter ball picks. tea balls,
etc. are frequently missing from a
collection of gifts, so she confines her
remembrances to these.
A set of the heavy bronze or metal
book ends. so artistic and decorative,

DECREE OF PARTISAN AR5lTERs

Styles Are Varied, but That Partleu-

Cheruit, leading Paris modiste. In
sists upon the redingote that reaches
the hem of the skirt, and as Jenny
also takes up the idea, it is posi-.
BILE that the fashion will be generally
seen over here.
Jenny is not as great an artist as
Cheruit, but she is popular and
pleases the Americans. This season
she has repeated her success of last
spring and she will now begin to suf-
fer the fruits Of popularity among
Americans; she will be exploited by
all the trade and wholesale houses,
her models will be copied In every
kind of cheap material and sold for
$40 or less, and the fastidious woman,
along with the exclusive dressmaking
houses and specially shops, will be
intent upon search for and wondering
where they can secure models to Of
fer to the women who will pay good
prices, but who refuse the exploited
fashions of the shops.
Every great dressmaker of Paris
has suffered from an excess of favor
itism here. AS soon as the whole
saler or those who cater to the trade
of the shops offer hundreds of models
from one house, the country is flooded
with them. the fashion is soon done
for, and the dressmakers lose trade.
Well, whatever the result, here is
the redingote and the pot hat as the
leading features of the season. The
former is easier to wear than the lat
ter, but they go admirably together.
The redingote is able to stand a Law
ish amount Of fur, and it looks as
though women will shortly resemble
the men of Peary's arctic expedition
Even the chins are to be smothered

The simpler redingote, however, will
be more dignitied. The best models
are in dark blue, of course. for there
Is no genuine diversion from this color
for street clothes, and there is not

position collar of satin or velvet. II

Many of the fall dresses for street

A green sash will add dash to the

New parasols have the edges turned
up all around.
A little Irish lace is used to trim
garden party frocks.
Champagne seems to be the favorite
color
White shoes look very smart with
the taffeta dresses.
Delicately colOred linens are used
for afternoon frocks.
The success of hat is largely a
matter of poise and tilt.
The gay sweater over the white
