A complete summer outfit for a society
tcllo , with n good fat pocketbook to draw
from , can bo purchased for well , somo-
\vhcro In the neighborhood of (5,000. , There
nro various degrees of completeness for
Which fact the belles nnd brides of Omaha
nro , no doubt , duly thankful A
very considerable Horn Is the under-
Wear. It is nil of the finest
Bilk. The Ilttlo vests which nro to bo worn
under the cornels are of knit silk. They are
of ovcry Imaginable tint , and match the
dross. Some of thorn nro embroidered in a
Wheel design , but most of them nro edged
with real Torchon loco nnd caught with nar
row ribbons.
Corsets nro the shape of the Ilttlo pointed
Swiss bolts that lace In the back ,
trilby nro laced at ono side , after
they nroon , and for slender figures
they are very becoming and cer
tainly much cooler than the regulation stiff
fitays. Many of the girls nro simply wear
ing broad bolts instead of corsets , because
dresses nro not worn tight , and thnro Is no
need of being uncomfortable toe nothing. "
For ball drcsics , petticoats are made of
whlto silk or fine mull , with two soft rufllcs
the entire length , and then for all other oc
casions they nro of fine linen , mudo with a
deep hemstitch and an edging of real laco.
There nro no flounces , because they would
spoil the effect of the plain dress skirts.
Then there Is the dainty hosiery , all of
ellk. of ovcry Imaginable shade , with open
work on the Instep. Two or three dorcii pair
will probably be sufllciont , for of course the
Omaha belle docs not darn. She will wear
n black pair in the morning , for
the afternoon drive or walk n
pair to match her dress and another
pair In the evening to match the dinner or
ball dress.
For evening nt homo she will wear Jos-
Bcphlno gowns. They are all made in the
true Empire fashion , without waists , with
Ilttlo trains and skimpy skirts , nnd each ono
is provided with a sash , which is tied di
rectly in the back.
They uro as vet a Ilttlo to bo advanced for
boll room wear , though wo are Informed that
they , will bo worn next winter. Some of
thorn nro of old-fashioned brocade , copied
from the kinds worn a hundred years ago.
One Is a palo pink , with little wild straw
berries and yellow butterflies ever It , and
this bos turned down rallies of yellow loco
about the low neck and puffed sleeves , and a
sash of yellow silk. Others are of white
mull , of whiteluco , of baby-blue , and migno
nette green.
Ball dresses nro numerous. Most of them
have white tulle skirts with satin bodices of
whlto , blue , pink or yellow , and sashes to
match. Ono odd dress Is of silver tissue made
with plaited suirt and an empire waist with u
bright , cherry sash fringed und fulling at ono
eldo. It will attract attention , which , after
nil , is the chief thing ut u ball.
Thcro Is another of yellow crcpo made with
nn nccordoon skirt and waist , which is ex
tremely pretty , and down ono side is a cas
cade of yellow crunh roses nnd loaves. There
la n princess of whlto faille , fitting closely
and made with a rather high neck and with
out sleeves.
Wbon this young , lady travels she will
have a pearl gray mohair with a finely
jiloatcd sitlrt , and u belted waist , which has
tucks on the puffed arms nnd ull ever the
front.and a graysaso of the same material.
A-Jackot of melton cloth of the same color ,
with a whlto goat cloth coat embroidered In
Bllvor , and a sailor bat of gray straw ,
trimmed with wblto'nud silver , to bo worn
With it.
She \\i\l \ have a vlnagrctto nnd a chato-
lalno of sflver , a gray alligator bund bag , a
gray gauze veil'and little patent leather shoes
to wear ,
Of' ctrurso , this Is only a start. There are
the fans thyy'aro of lace , satin nnd some of
them entirely of wood , with carved sticks.
Her slippers match each gown , and so do her
jiarasols. ' Of course , she has a hnlf-dozon
ginghams , all trimmed with lace and ribbons
bens : and as many figured silk gowns , and
her lingerie includes many of the empire
ruchings to wear with them , and Martha
Washington fichus.
