Good Hints Cor Brides.

From time immemorial the brides
gown has been white; and if one could
only have simple muslin frock 1t
seems rs if it ought to he of that pure
tone. because her own heart is thought
TO be as clean and white rs IS her
gown. The white gown and the
orange blossoms are the privilege of
the bride, aud even if she has 10 econ
omixe and give up another gown | can
quite appreciate the feelings of the
Girl who insists on the white satin, the
blossoms aud the tulle veil. She can
never wear this costume but once in
her life, for after she has become a
wife roses must take the place OF the
orange blossoms and the tulle veil is
never again assumed. Heavy white
corded silk. white velvet. white bro
cade, white mouSseline de sole are all
shown for the brides gown; but the
real wedding material is white satin.
True. it grows yellow with age, rs
does ivory; but if love is young in the
heart there will be the same delight in
looking at the folds in the wedding
gswn THAI there is in recalling the
wedding-day.
A widow who is being married for
the second time may wear any color
she wishes, If she is in travelling cos
tune; but in full dress she must have
either pale gray or maure; or, If she
prefers, some other becoming color,
but never white; nor should she wear
orange blossoms. Roses, daisies OF
whatever flower is suited to the shade
of her frock, are proper; but the white,
sweet smelling blossom belongs en-
tirely to the young girl.

veil aud how far it should extend.

that is to say, you cannot tell how
much you need; the proper way is tc
