AN EVENT LONG REMEMBERED.
It Occurs Tiller: a Girl Gets Her First
Evening Dress.
The first evening dress of a young girl is
a very important thing, at least to her, and
should be chosen carefully with an eye to
setting off her youthful freshness and the
great mistake to put young girls in thick
silks and satins and smother the simplici-

nets and all sheer, dainty fabrics are suit-
able and ma y be trim med Wit-h silk or vel-
vet ribbons and light. lace. If jewels are
worn, they should be of the sinmlest. The
most fastidious; taste dispenses with them
entirely until the ingenue stage is passed.
It is also much the best form to have the
corsage out only half low. An extremely
pretty gown worn by a girl of 17 at a late
wedding reception vas made of plain white
silk muslin, with a full waist gathered into
a belt, the neck being cut down but two
heading. The puffed sleeves reached to the
elbow, and. a few sprays of snzilnx were the
only adornment. This unusually simple
attire gave the young girl, who, it though
pretty, was rat-her heavy, a delicacy and re-
fluemeut of appearance which a more elab-
orate toilet, such as she will have to wear
in two or three years, would have put out
of the question.
The gown of which a sketch is given is
not so plain as the one just. mentioned, but
is nevertheless simple and appropriate
enough for the average young girl. It is of
embroidered silk muslin, pale greenin tint,
made over a silk lining of the same color.
The full muslin skirt hangs over abell skirt
of the silk, around the bottom of which are
set moss green velvet rosettes at regular in-
tervals. The full bodice is gathered in at
the waist under a. belt trimmed with velvet
rosettes. The neck is cut square and is sur-
rounded by a shlrred ruflle of the muslin.
The sleeves, which extend almost to the el-
bow, (ire very full, and over the upper half
velvet straps are tucked, ending in bows
and rosettes. \‘x’hite gloves are worn.

I Beautiful “'ash Silks For the Fancy Waists
l of Springtime.
A beautiful line of wash silks has been
brought out for the spring trade, so lovely
in color and soft in texture that it is diffi-
g cult to make a choice where every piece is
so attractive. Solid colors are shown in
dull blue, light violet, absinthe green and
old rose, but stripes prevail, and their com-
binations are innumerable. All the stripes
are of narrow width, in Whatever manner
they are clustered, and. the effect as a whole
is of harmonious and subdued brightness.
Rose and gray, rose and green, rose and
tan, and violet a rd tan are some Of the com-
binations seen. The goods are said to really
wash, provided soft water and a. small
quantity of line soap be used, and no fabric
every day use as warm weather comes on.
For more elaborate bodices brocaded taf-
fetus and, satin or, moire striped silks are
employed. These and similar weaves may
be obtained to great advantage at this sea-

son, as all the large shops are closing out
the remainder of their winter stock of silks
and crapes at reduced prices, and five or six
yard lengths of fine quality may be bought
at half the price per yard that was charged
two or three months previous. In thin
qualities of silk the soft varieties wear bet-
ter than the glaee kinds of the same grade,
although the latter appear to have more
body.
In regard to the mode of making these
waists there is only one law—they shall not
be plain. Even the wash silks are usually
made up full with a folded belt and col-
lar, balloon sleeves and a double ruehing
down the front, while cor-sages intended for
theater and evening wear are so volumi—
nously and variously trim med that it would
' seem impossible for the subtlest ingenuity
to invent a new style. A sketch is given of
a theater bodice com posed of pale green
craps and laurel green satin ribbon, made
over a fitted lining of pale green surah. It
is Shirred in the form of a round yoke,
which is outlined by a band of ribbon fin-
ished with erect bows on the shoulders. A
second parallel band curves across the bust.
The bodice is gathered in at the waist un-
der 8. pointed ribbon belt- and has a short,
full basque lined with surah and trimmed
with a band of ribbon. The tight, Shirred
sleeves extend from the wrist to above the
elbow, where they are met by a balloon
puff with a ruillc trimmed with a ribbon
band. The standing collar of ribbon is sur-
mounted by u rushing of the crape. The
bodice closes at the buck.

of material for the construction of dainty

The Eton jacket is too convenient to be-

for the appropriate expression of grief. The

a full erape vest, is bordered with the same
trimming. Tight crepe cuffs extend to the
elbow, while crape epaulets fall over the
puff that forms the upper part of the sleeve.
Grape is still the orthodox material for
mourning, although it is so unserviceablc n.
stuff. V‘v’oolen crane and crepons, henriet-
ta, serge, camel’s hair and all dull finished
black cloths are employed, while some
beautiful black silk crepons are shown
among,r the new spring goods, having a nar-
row plain silk stripe, or a silk stripe with a
sort of ruffled effect, or the goods, instead
of being striped, are sprinkled with plain
silk flecks. For warm weather grenadine,
nun’s veiling and plain black silk net may
also be used. Ample veils of the latter are
far better for summer wear than the suffo-
cating crape ones and are quite as complete
mourning.
The custom of. wearing black lisse or
tulle ruchings next the neck and wrists is
one to be followed with caution, as the dye
is usually not fast in those materials and ‘is
apt to come off upon the skin under the in-
fluence of warmth or dampness. A fold of
dull china silk or a plaiting of silk net is a
safer finish to adopt.
A spring mourning toilet is shown made
of dull finished and woolen material. It has
a round bell skirt trimmed with three bias
bands of crapc of different widths. The
plain corsage has a short basque and opens
in front over a full vest of black gauze con-
fined by a crepe girdle. The full cloth
sleeves are trimmed with crape. A triple
cape accompanies the gown, the two lower
capes of cloth and the upper one of cra-pe.
They are mounted on a yoke which is con—
cealed by a cloth collar continued down the
front edges of the cape in the form of crepe
revers. The bonnet, with its trimming and
strings, is of crape and has a ruching,r of
white Grape beneath the close brim.

' The source of decorative novelties seems

ish chestnuts seen in the markets. The
pins are stuck in around the edge. The
tiny decorated rolling pins, etc., once pop-
ular for key racks, have been superseded by
wood or composition oak and maple leaves,
painted and valued in the natural colors.
Several small gilt hooks are fastened on
the face of the leaf to hold the keys, and
the leaf is hung up by the stem. Some-
thing decidedly new are the white applique
letters now for sale at the notion counters.
They are about three-quarters of an inch
long and are embroidered, but have no
background, and are intended to save the
labor of embroidering initials on household
linen and underwear. The idea is a novel
but practical one.
.Voluminous lamp shades are still popular,
but ingenuity has been almost exhausted
on them, and every combination of china
silk, lace and crepe has been tried over and
over; Some new ones are shown made of
crape paper in shades of lavender. orna-
mented with a large cluster of purple and
White flag lilies or iris, also made of paper.
The same scheme might. be morecheerfully
carried out in pale yellow, since there are
yellow irises in nature. These millinery
lamp shades are not satisfactoryon the
whole. however, as they are too flimsy to be
trusted in the neighborhood of fire.
A doll boubon box is a rather attractive
novelty which, trivial as it may seem, sells
at between $3 and $4. The foundation is a
rather tall, round box, to the lid of which
is fastened the upper half- of a doll’s body,
with head and arms complete. The skirt
is secured to the waist of the doll and is
made just the right length and circumfer-
ence to cover the box when the lid is on.
These dolls are dressed in various styles—
one in gray. as a Quaker, with a silk bonnet
and a kerchief; another in lace and muslin,
with a. hat and a tiny basket of flowers.
The prettiest are the “folly” costumes of
satin and ribbons, hung with little bells.
