June roses and brides will soon be here

much exercised over the accompanying

They come in all shades, pale pink, blue,

MoNoGRAMs ON UNDERWEAR.
The brides monogram nowadays IS
worked upon most of her underiinen,
either in corner or In tue centre. The
night dresses are trimmed with dchus
and frilis Of deeply vandyked muslin
em broidery, their large, square. impor-
tant looking fronts worked all over with
fine stitching; at the extreme edges are
frillingS of narrow Valenclennes, and
down the middle viii run a full, wide,
lace-edged jabot. Some. in lieu of collars,
have double friils or ruffs of lace or cam
brio at the throat. and some have zouave-
shaped trimmings. One odd design has
yoke worked with embroidery of owls
heads, with ceffs, collars aud refer
fronts cut out in the shape of owls
wings.
For those who still prefer the chemise
the following styles are given:-A major
fty OF the chemises are CUT In the French
Empire style, drawn IN at the waists and
crossing in front, with deep falling friIls
turning from the neck downward. To
vary the design, some have gathered
fronts OF alternate rows of lace and iuser-
ton, and some are trimmed with braces
OF wide. thick, open guipure. There are
those that are go arranged that in The
upper part the fulness from the should
ers slopes into the middle, and there are
those whose folds cross each other in
front and which have square tops Of lace
beaded by pretty insertion. Many have
no sleeves. but simply bands OF lace
beaded insertion.
In hosiery there is such q variety in
kinds and colors that every ones Ia ste
can be satisfied. STOCKINGS and glo yes
are often chosen the same color as the
gown, and black is always wise selec-
ton. A good cotton stocking for about

found by experience that silk outlas Is The

BRIDAL GOWNS.

Don't you think white is the sweetest and
daintiests 1t isn't necessary to get one of
those heavy. oftentimes ungraceful silks
with a train yards long. Something
simple will look just as bridal ike You
know the typical bridal dress through all
time has been Of pure white, signifying
that the heart that beats below is as
clean aud spotless as the gown. There is
wide choice of materials for bridal
gowns. The lighter textures, like nous
seine de sole, China silk aud embroid-
cred mnlls, are very sweet and graceful
for very young brides, while for stately
women, white brocade, rich corded silk
and the traditional white satin have the
choice.
Even the bridal gown Is not exempt
from the onslaught of the barbaric craze,
and gold and silver play an active part on
the white fabrics.
The gown should invariably be high
necked and long-sleeved; to have it other
wise is a breach OF good form, and how
ever sweet and lovely the Young brides
arms and throat may be they must be en-
tirely covered, for it is a solemn and re-
ligious ceremony, the wedding, and
should be borne in mind as such when
the gown is arranged.
