GIRLS FAVORED
By COURT MODE
Buckingham Style Order
Makes Dowagers
Gloomy.
FLOWERS ADORN HAIR
Feathers and Sweeping
Trains Go Out Of
Fashion.

(Washfngt0a Herald-Cr0 Atlantic
Service Special Cable DfsDstch.)
London, July 12.-Flowers, trails,
wreaths, and gariands of dainty
blooms. posies and bouquets were
the feature Of Their Majesties' first
court Of the season at Buckingham
Palace.
Debutantes are delighted and
dowaeers depressed at the changes
in court dress. The charm OF youth
has full play. Gsrlands Of flowers
and leaves provide a. more girlishly
becoming finish to the coiffure than
ever the old feathers did, but the
stately dignity of the dowager van
ishes with the plumes and flowing
court train.
Simplicity Ordered.
Man Is being shorn of his pic
turesque black velvet, his cut-steel
buttons. and his silver shoe buckles,
and woman is shedding her feathers,
veil, and sweeping court train by
Royal command.
The dresses worn at court are
simply smart evening gowns, such
as a well-dressed woman would
wear at a dance or dinner party"
said one court dressmaker.
There was never any intention
to make uniform court dresses. The
designs furnished by the Queen
were for the purpose of Indicating
the general trend of court dress
and. needless to say, no women are
wearing bare-backed dresses OF
shoulder-strap sleeves"
Ffsh-TaiI Trains.
Although the full court train has
been given its dismissal. many OF
the dresses show wispy little trains
of the fish-tail persuasion Some
times the sash draperies end their
career in a gossan1er little train OF
chiffon, lined with chiffon in another
shade. Divided trains are also IA
yored by some women. The train
in every case Is of the most airy
description, and can be switched
over the arm.
White is worn by the majority of
the debutantes, chiffon, silk geor-
gette, lace, and other diaphanous
textures being the materials most
honored. There is a new apricot
shade flushed with rose and a range
of becoming rose tints that look
particularly we'll under the brill
liant lights.
