White satin is still the first choioo
bridal dresses. with lace and pearl cn'
broidery for trimming The satin dr..
may be lightened in elect by a pe,ticoa,
front of China Grape put on in fe,toons
with tassels of pearls dropping betuce,
the curved folds The graceful llaw;r.
train of four breadths is laid in nl.;,'
at the top, which meet in the middlo
and are caught up slightly on each sids
to make large tournure; most trains
are plain around the edge, but some
times jabot of lace OF narrow width i
put there. Several gathered .rut,les y,
white taffeta silk, notched or pirked in
scallops on each edge, are put inside
the deep silk facing of the whole skirt
and there is also the usual muslin snd
lace sham pettcoat in the trained
breadths. In these rich dresses the pad
hustle is of satin. and the s;eels are in.
cascd n satin ribbon. The front n,
the skirt is arranged with reference to
the brides height, as. for short bride.
the skirt may have lengthwife iabots Of
lace with organ plaits Of satin between.
or else there may be panel of lace or
of pearl beading or tulle down the mid.
die, with plated panels or plated
| founces on each side; while for a tall
bride the lace flounc, may be in curves
across, or else in diagonal rows on the
I.ft 81 10 nd
remainder of the front and the right
side. Sometimes the bridal vail OF lace
is d spensed with for very young brides,
and arranged as the Greek apron, and
the more youthful-looking tulle veil
serves instead. The corsage is pointed
/ in front, and may have either a basque
back, or be pointed, or else have the
< train draped upon il. High baslues,
/ with very wide standing collar of lace
or of beading, or of the satin edged with
pearl beads, are the fashion abroad for
church weddings; if there is lace
opening at all it is in heart shape, but
more often there is merely frill of lace
down the 'front.' with perhaps narrow
vest of pearl embroidery. The elbow
sleeves are made of satin, with culi Of
the lace, in preference to entire lace
sleeves A few natural orange bios.
SONS are the flowers now used BY brides;
there is a small bunch at the throat, or
perhaps AT tie SIDE of the high collar, on
the left side OF the skirt, aud in the vail
on top # the high couture, unless it is
more becom ng to the bride to wear her
j hair in some other way, when the iow-
ers must BE- worn lower. The tulle vail
is not hemmed, and some diamond pins
are worn in it to fasten ii securely.
Similar dresses are carried out in the
scft Bengalne repped silks, or in the
ottoman silks that are not so flexible,
aud sometimes the entire dress is Of
China Grape, which is especially pretty
for mid summer wedding. A pr tiy
tulle dress worn by bride in April viii
also bc a good model for summer. The
tafieta SIR train was covered with tulle
gathered in clusters of three fat puhs,
aud these clusters were separated by a
frl of the tulle doubled. The waist
was cut low in sharp V in the front
and back of the NECK, and was also
pointed at the waist line. A very dainty
dress of crepe ] sse for bride wearing
mourning had folds for thinning, while
Valenciennes lace lounces were on a
silk muslin dress worn ut home we'd
ding by very young bride.
When the gre; test economy must be
considered. and the bride likes the gloss
and glitter of satin and beads, the mex
penSive satin s,irah may be ma lie ny
with some bias rutfles of the ma,eria
for llounces up the left side, while thu
crystil- beaded nets that are not so cost
" as they were last year may form
Greek apron, and be let in the neck il
the shape of V, OF in Pompadou

yard are also graceful for simple dres
that needs only some Oriental lace a
