INNOVATIONS IN WEDDING ATTIRE
Itisssid that abroad brides are intro
ducng some innovations in traditional
Wedding attire. Pale colors are occs-
sionally being worn in piece OF tho white
which has been orthodox 30 long. How
ever. bridal gowns of white have been
too long standard and invariable. and
are. moreover, too appropriate to be
easily changed.
Paris, they say, DEGREES that bridal
costumes must be worn without bustles.
This is becoming the law for most gowns,
and ell fashionable women now content
themselves with the roeda An excessive
tournurc has almost become a sign Of
bad taste here. A Paris correspondent,
writing 70 the B0zar, says on thus sAo-
iect:
"There Il truce for the moment to
the quarrel between those contending for
and against the tOurpurr. 1t ls secure
for the present, but | shall not be sur
priscd TO see the combat renewed next
winter. The prudent party IS the neu-
trial one, which admits that there are two
sides to the question and that each shall
have liberty of choice 10 dress either with
or without hustle. as best suits her.
A lnss's COSTUME
in figured India silk is made with mar
row. buttoned vest Of velvet, on each
side of which the silk is laid in narrow
successive plaits, tho plsits on the right
side crossing those on the left obliquely
TO the left hip, where the fold OF the ma
terisl is caught beneath narrow NIB
bon sash.
Az FABLY-PALL DRESS.
A charming dress for early fall was
observed the other day upon young
lady OF fashion. This dress combined =
dark, rich green .tOute with terra Gotta
colored fouidrd, with large geometri-
cal scroll design in n somewhat lighter
tint covering its surface. The basque
Was made of the JoUt<, with full front,
SHRED at the neck, caught in at the
waist, and allowed 10 expand below that
point, this being Of the figured JoHtGrd.
The collar was of green velvet ("dog-
collar" style). covered with design in
frill white braid, and the cuffs were SINH
lar. The draperies were wholly on the
sides and back, the whole front OF the
skirt being exposed. The side draperies
appeared to come from beneath the
basque on each hip and we're gracefully
arranged. The front Of the skirt was Il
course Of the to0i0c6, and made per-
fectly plain, not even a foot-plaiting
being added. The gloves accompany
ing this toilet were terra-cotta undressed
kid stitched in white.
A NOVEL ORNAMENT.
An oxidized silver chatelaine orns-
ment recently noticed was in the form
of al octopus, with huge garnet eyes.
The eight legs we're grotesquely twlned
and twisted in n horribly natural fashion,
and from five of them hung respectively
the neat little silver watch. an ornate
silver vinaigrette, button-hook, pen
knife, pencil, and pocketmrror IN a
little oddly-shaped silver case.
HATS FOR TEE FALL
will be decidedly large, and Gains
borough and all similar shapes OF wide
brims and Insignificant crowns will be
popular.
Street jackets will be again the popu-
lar form Of street wrapping. but there
are a number of jaunty little wraps that
will push them hard for q place in the
popular esteem. Among these are Cisite
shapes in cloths covered with braid,
which are seen chiefly in black. but oc-
casionaly in dark reds and green's and
golden brown.
CHINA SILK
is one Of the summer materials which is
perfectly appropriate for fall wear, and
It's use st the present time is extensive.
Redingotos are usurping the place of
polonalSes.
Cashmere tints, which resemble Per
sian colorings, are popular for millinery
purposes.
A large velvet poke, recently seen, was
trimmed with French gray ostrich feath-
ers and black velvet.
NEW STYLE N GLOVES.
Gloves are worn having the inside Of
the fingers in kid TO contrast IN color
with the rest OF the glove. Green gloves,
for instance, have the insertions in the
fingers of white, the stitching on the
back being Of the same.
Soft gray shades are popular this fall
Reseda has once moro made its appear
ance as favorto tint, probably because
it is green, and anything green "goes.
MORE will he sgain used for combina-
ton with wool materials on street dress.
