The French bride looks back to her

already young matron in dress, with
diamond stars flashing in her hair,
diamond brooch and bracelets, heavy
gold embroideries lending splendor to
her skirts, and the richer. more digni-
fed laces of womanhood garnishing her
draperies and hanging about her for a
bridal vail.
No French girl is ever married with

there is trim little coat of serge over

certainly bears the cachet of an artists

is slightly draped and has round the

ventional design of black velvet, and
the long jacket, entirely of the cloth,
with revers of the same, opens over

gauntlet cuffs are also Of velvet.

mere cut en- prsncesse, the whole front
falling in folds from the neck, and con-

band of moss-green velvet, vailed with
creamy guipure point-lace. A sort of

seams and meets just across the bust
The Medici collar is of the lace over
velvet, and deep cuff of the same
reaches nearly to the elbow, the sleeve
above it being very wide.
The stylish hat also illustrated, is
one of the highest novelties. The
crown Is Of stone-colored velvet with
rim Of turquoise blue, and stones are
set in the embroidery according the
present mode. The feathers are OF
stone and turquoise blue.
An uptown furrier has come to the
rescue of those who have short shout
