simply to satisfy a feminine superstition
thnt to go to the altar without any of those
mystic blossoms would be to court the
worst kind of luck.
To replace the long-respected wreaths and

good silbi'tltutcs have been brought prom
inently forward. Costly whlto polar fox fur

of them. Ermine has too decided a yellow

but no ostrich feathers- are adopted , and on
the whole a rule of splendid simplicity , re
lieved by passementeries , governs the de
signing of tlieso all-Important toilets.
A PRINCESS GOWN.
An exemplification of this Is the white
eatln Princess suit inado for a January
bride. This garment hooks together down
the back , and Us only relief Is In the two
bands of seed pearl passementeries that
extend from shoulder to foot. Hero and
there among the pearls small rhlncstoncn
nro disposed and the design of the bead
ing Is orange blossoms amid Ivy leaves ,
At the wrists of the clo o satin sleeves ,
at the elbows and around the collar such
beading Is used again , while the veil drapes
from a Jeweled ornament nnd tuft of white
aigrette slips. This veil , by the wny , Is
of a now silk tulle , that cornea woven In a
very largo mesh and with the narrowest
whlto satin sclvego. This Is not though ;
BO great a novelty as the veil of enbroldercd
tulle that has appeared recently in sev
eral church aisles. This Is small , worn off
the faro and either dotted over with little
flvo-petaled blossoms , or has an elaborate
orchid border. In which silver threads are
much woven with the white silk needle
work.
These little novelties are especially pre
pared for the use of brides who have not
Inherited , or cannot afford , whlto lace veils ,
though considering their size there really
Bcema no reason why every girl should
not , at her wedding , now crown herself
with lace. So much can be asserted lu
view of the lately popularized lace hood
veils , shown on one of the models given
this week. The entire garment or garnish
ment , as ono may think It deserves designa
tion , Is scarcely larger than an apron with
a bib , and the fact that a hood Is carried
up from the shouldci nnd arranged over
the long-established tradition that a bride
intmt not go to the altar with her head
uncovered.

TIIR BRIDESMAIDS.
A brldo Is always expected to show her
taste and Individuality 1m the schema of
color , mode of hat and pattern of frock
she selects for her attending maids , so
that thcio are few hard and fast rules to
bo Get forth on this score. For Instance ,
nt ono Important New York wedding last
month the six maids appeared In scarlet
tulle , black satin Bashes and wide black
velvet hats loaded with jacqueminot roses.
Another debutante , who took matrimonial
vows , was followed by four fair girls with
crjstul beaded lace , that one might easily
liavo mistaken them for a twinkling con
stellation.
However , It Is now the mode to cut a
bridesmaid's dress with a distinctly trained
effect In the back widths and to give them
hats , wide and plume-shaded , to match
the prevailing tint In their dresses. An
extremely pretty model for a maid of honor's
toilet Is shown In figure five , whcro two
shades of pink are the dominating color.
The v-shaped under petticoat In this In-
fltanco Is of what wo now rail pearl pink
chiffon , draped on white silk. The four
puffed rulltes nt the foot are caught , nt one
slilo , by two silk bluah roses , while the
princess back of the drcts Is of peach plnic
satin. Satlit of the same sort composes
the double-breasted waistcoat , decked with

two rows of largo pearl buttons , and the
top of the bodlco and the alcoves are made
from cream-tinted renaissance lace.
The puffs on the shoulders are made ot
chiffon and held by pearl ornaments anu
the crown of BO much beauty Is n wide
peach pink velvet or felt hat , enhanced
by a panache of rose and whlto and pale
green plumes. Without variation the
sleeves to this , as to all other well cut
gowns of the time known as the present ,
lit nearly skin tight and straight to the
bhouldur , whcro a puff or a knot , or n
couple of meager frills lend some small
relief.
IMPORTANT DETAILS.
Ono of the oddities of the season In the
way of things matrimonial , are the now
bridesmaids' gloves of whlto or pearl gray
auedo that are no long they reach quite
comfortably up to the shoulder and there ,
by a few buttons , can bo attached to the
shoulder straps. They are meant to form a
sleeve and from the wrist to nrmholc wrinkle
up slightly. Others are to be had quite as
long but buttomlng the whole way up quite
smoothly , with closebt round gilt billets.
Fans , nnd feather ones at that , fill the hands
of nearly all tlio bridesmaids who do not
carry small bouquets and ono cannot fall
to not how often fur appeara on their pretty
costumes.
Striking results are for example achieved
In such a combination aa the sixth llguro

corn-colored moire Is the chief fabric used ,
the lower half of the skirt silt In six tails ,
nnd every tab embrolded over In gold
sequins. Between them falls out portions of
an accordion-pleated underskirt of yellow
chiffon and the back widths of the skirt are
edged with n band of mink. Straps of so-
quln-pcwdcrcd moire , over a chiffon undcr-
walst , form the bodlco , while the uhoul-
der straps are the slim bodies of two little
minks. A yellow velvet hat , docked with
fur and plumes tops oft everything ef
fectively and pearl gray gloves stitched In
yellow silk Is the last touch such a toilet
needs. MILLICUNT AUUOWI'OINT.

AllflfllllC III tilt * fil'll'IICH'H.
Some time ago a Berlin Journalist , Arthur
Klrchhoff , addressed a circular to over 100
( Jorman profctnors ami men of loiters , re
questing their opinion on the admission of
women to university education. As regards
admitting thorn to the same classrooms na
mala etudei'U , ( hero In In Germany a gen *
oral agreement om the part of the Qerman
professors , Tlio objections are twofold-
First , the danger lest the presence of young
woiiK'ii should disturb the attention of the
men etudonts ; and , secondly , the liability ot
tlio professors to descend to the level ot
their female auditors.
In the domain of mcdlclno and eclcuco the
Cloniian physicians are said In central to
liavo little faith lu the possibility of women
attaining superiority In these branches. "As
the result of personal experience , " writes
Dr. Frcund , director of the university clln-
Iquo at Strasburg , "the aptitude of women
for medical studies does not rlso beyond
mediocrity. All that can bo done by zeal ,
application , order nnd perseverance they
accomplish. They fall , to an extraordinary
degree , In manual address. " Hero It should
bo pointed out that , according to the testi
mony of Dr. Johannes Orth , director of the
I'athoologlcal Institute nt Oottlngcn , women
are decidedly more adroit with their flugors
than men.
But Dr. Freund declares that "as practl-
phM garters arc ornamented with the most
fcUhlng climps of cairn germ or Scotch poo-
bio net In old silver.

tloncrs , they have never risen above the
ordinary standard. " "In science , " ho E.IJH ,
"It Is mediocrity. Until now n woman has
never sot herself to solve n great scientific
problem ; she has never found an original
solution to even an easy problem. "
I'rof. Adolph Gusscrow , at present nt the
charity hospital In Berlin , taught for five
years In Zurich , where there are many fe
male students among his pupils. Ills ex
perience wcs that "with a few exceptions
all the women manifested much earncstncsu
nnd application and displayed a sjrt of en
thusiasm for their work. Ills astonishment
was accordingly nil the greater when It
turned out that , "with ono or two excep
tions , the standard of their examinations
scarcely attained the average of ordinary
students. "
Dr. Blrch-Hlrsbfeld , director of the Patho
logical Institute at the University ot Leipzig ,
confirms the Imprefslon. "Even among our
most capable woman students wo find a diffi
culty to apprehend the relations of scien
tific experiments ono with the other , and to
bring them under general Ideas , although
they ha\c a surprising faculty In accumulat
ing a store of notions of details. " In other
terms , "wcman lacks the faculty ot syn
thesis , " and nearly all authorities consulted
agrco on this point. They admit that
women may become druggists or dentists ,
assistant doctors and nurses ; they will never
become great physicians , and as for surgery ,
that Is not to be thought of they have not
the necessary physical strength for that. "
On the other hand , professors of mathe
matics express themselves much more favor
ably with regard to the aptitudes of women
for these higher studies. They are said to
have "marked dispositions for this most
abstract of abstract sciences. "

fastldloufncts. . There nro ninny women who
can amply afford to wear silk to whom It Is
exceedingly disagreeable , causing a ' con
stant Irritation of the skin , and who nlao
find llslo unpleasant. For thefo there Is a
highly refined grade of cotton , selling at

method Is followed , stockings may often
: ) o worn for three days without discomfort.

In buying hose It Is always well to get
them longer than the foot , and ono should

wnys wash the stockings before ever wear
ing them. This shrinks the thread and In
creases their durability by a very largo
jor cent.
