A lovcly young bride of New York
city wore at the belt of her wedding
dress of cream satin a dainty half
basket made of pearls and lace over a
foundation of gold wire. The basket

Some of the newest brocaded gauzes
have designs so rich and heavy as to
closely resemble hand embroidery /;
these solid black goods have single
sprays of flowers, such as hyacinths,
tulips, roses and daises, scattered at
wide intervals over plain ground. A
very beautiful dress is produced by
taking one of these gauzes and en-
broidering the brocade figure with cut
jet beads. Enough of the material is
beaded in this to form corsage
and skirt draperies. The costume
thus arranged has a very elegant effect.
