now for arranging in rows across the
front and sides of the satin dress, or
else in jabots and panels on the sides.
Wide lace f1ounces at the foot are fes-
TONED at intervals with small bou.
quets and satin ribbon loops. When
lace is used on the train, it is not as
f1ounces, but in lengthwise designs.
In one instance lately wide duchesse
tlounce, with the straight edges sewed
together, formed beautiful panier
scarf that was passed around the hips.
and held in the back and front bv a
cluster of flowers. Sometimes lace is
used for the transparent sleeves in
stead of the pearl trimming. Flowers
are not as lavishly used as they were
formerly. Small bouquets set at in
tervals down the front amid rows of
lace, or else clusters for the back and
front of the paniers, are favorite styles
of garniture. Some sets of orange
blossoms outline the panier on the
hips, others. form q curve around q
tablier, and still others are massed as
panels ON the side. A fancy with
Worth is that of arranging orange
buds in pyramid of lace or else satin
plaitings in the front of the skirt.
White lilacs, jasmine or clematis are
mixed with orange blossoms. The
bridal veil is of tulle, and is now draped
on the side and back of the hair, in
stead of being thrown over the face in
French fashion. The edges are not
henmed, and cluster of flowers holds
the veil instead of a wreath.
Simple fabrics are chosen for BRIDE
maids dresses to be worn at June we'd
dings. The fancy is to make these of
soft. light, summary materials. such as
India muslins, or else the soft twilled
foulard silk known as Surrah silk, and
the lace garniture is either Breton or
Valenciennes. These dresses are made
up more youthfully than the wedding
dress, and carry out the prevailing
style, with its bouffant paniers and
shirred basques and aprons. Imported
Surrah dresses for bridemaids at re-
cent wedding had the short turned
back fronts of the over-dress formed of
diagonal rows of Breton insertion and
Surrah silk, while the back was
punched up voluminously, and held by
large clusters of loops of satin ribbon.
In this instance the wedding was con-
Quoted in English fashion, and the
bridesmaids wore Gainsborough hats of
white silk, with Prince of Wales red
satin stirring and piping. Instead of
bonnets, however, short wells of tulle
arranged on the back of the head in
Spanish style are now generally worn
by trademarks. To use some deep col
or for garniture is a fancy for bride
maids; thus at Grace Church we'd
ding lately the four trademarks wore
clusters of deep red currants and green
leaves for garniture. When there are
six or eight bridemaids it is customary
to have two with rose trimmings, two
with pale blue, two with green and the
others may have dark red or else
Marshal Neil yellow. Worth uses what
he calls opal tints in sashes and trim
mingS on bridemaids' dresses. For in
stance, he uses white grenadine with
brocaded satin stripes in it for the
basque and train, while the front and
sides of plain square-meshed grena-
dine have a panier scarf or sash OF
green brocaded ribbon shot with pink
and white, like an opal, draped across
the front and about the hips. To con-
tinue the opal effect, pale green silk
knife-plaitings are placed under white
grenadine plaitings to trim the sides
and end of the train.-Harper's Bazar.
