Pullman sleepers, day coaches, smoking car

thought that everybody was married List
June, so I inn happy to tell (hum that
tho very new-oat things out in tho way of
wctiiiing gowns la to uso lino white book
muslin with mitin or molro Hashes nntl
accessories, niui tullo veils with myrtlo
nnd orungu blossoms. Tho skirts can bo
simply hemmed about four Inches deep.
RECEPTION DUUSSES WAIIRANTED TO BCB
JUOATE. '
Tho' front of tho skirt can bo laid In
deep plaits on each sldo of a front breadth
of satin or molro, or tho plaits can tucot.
Tho back breadths aro full and hang
from tho top without drapery, nnd can
bo walking length or a, train. A wldo
sash with fringed out ends Is suitablo of
ribbon, and In several instances tho sash
tins been imido of hemstitched muslin.
Somo have double Hkirts, with tho upper
ono drawn up on tho loft sido undor a
sash and with flowers and f oliago. Whito
pinks, lilac, jastulno and myrtlo aro all
suitablo ilowers for n bride.
A widow can wear pearl gray silk or
coshmoro or Henrietta silk warp In gray
of tho palest shado, and this can bo trim
med lavishly with laco. It is not per
missible for a widow to wear a veil, but
sho may wear a spray of orango blossoms
at her throat and In her hair if sho bo do
sires nnd is young. If sho is going to
travel sho can wear a poplin gown or
plain coshmero in any quiet color or
shado. and it is quito tho thing to bo
married very quietly and go oir for a
short period of lunacy on n honeymoon.
A reception after a wedding or any
other kind of a reception makes it pos
sible for ladies, particularly young ones,
to wear hoiuo very killing toilets, and
they can lo modeled nftor thoso present
d in tho illustration. Tho right hand
ono is made of silk warp Henrietta cloth
In silver gray, with a full vest front of
pale pink crcpo do chine nnd triimnod
with black velvet ribbon. Tho vest la
shirred at tho neck hi a manner which
leaves a little rufllo at tho top.
Tho second is jjiudo of palo robin's egg
blue Oengulino silk, tho skirt raised on
tho right sido over a cream colored falllo
panel braided with silver braid. Around
tho waist and ns a pointed collarctto nre
ornaments of iridescent beading, though
theso can bo better replaced wi'h laco
over darker blue, ns beading is rather
heavy for Ucngaline. Indeed gold braid
over falllo would bo lighter und moro
dressy.
Tills model would bo very pretty for a
young lady in nun's veiling, or Clairctte,
or simple coshmero, but should bo in
light delicate tints.
Tho third costurao is for young mar
ried ladies and is superb in its elegant
stylo. Tho front is of very rich shrimp
pink satin, and tho vest ot moss green
velutiua, with a wldo rovers of Irish
point luce, which is also laid upon tho
front of tho waist and extends over tho
shoulder, forming a V point in tho back.
Thero aro pockotllds of tho velutina.
Tho alcoves nro pulled by means of plaits
aloug tho middlo of tho arms, with a
slash at the top with satin lot in, and
deep cuffs of point laco. A pink satin
standing collar is covered with Inco laid
on fiat, ns is also a pointed girdlo at tho
waist, A Imiidsomor costumo need not
bo desired. It would roqulro about eight
yards of velutina at 91 per yard and
two of satin at 91.60 a yard and four
yards of laco at whatever prlco ono
wanted to pay. Tho stylo is bo simple
that any lady who can mako any kind
ot dress can achiovo it, and it Is ono of
those toilets that keep in fashion thrco
or four seasons with no material altera
tion. Tho nowest stylos in hats aro encour
aging, and somo of thorn aro very beau
tiful both In design and form, but thoy
may chango materially beforo tho season
is fully open. It is seldom beforo tho
middlo of September1 that tho "open
ings" nro held, and theso are pattern
hats sent along to 'feel tho market."
Tho bonnet is of light, golden brown
velvet, with ricli bows of a still lighter
Bhado of very heavy Batin faced gros
grain silk. A very pretty lemon colored
aigrette is perched on the left eido.

Tho lint is of hunter's green velvet,
