Men mean nothing by this apparent

expected that the courtliness Of the

Foolish Virgins.
Every expectant bride wishes to look
her very best ON her wedding day. 1t
is the red-letter day Of her life, the
day when, however insignificant she
may be, she is by Universal consent Of
paramount importance, the observed
If all observers. Ecsides her bridal
splendor the groom sinks into mere
necessary appendoge.
A girl would give or do or endure
anything for the sake Of looking her
sweetest and prettiest on the day

Many a girl sews herself sick in ner
determination TO have her regulation
dozens of lingerie and to possess gowns
Of every conceivable shape and color.
She thriftily reckons that che can have
twice as many by making them herself
Or by sewing with twice the nervous
energy OF paid seamstress with her
home dressmaker. So she has the
gowns at the expense Of her color and
rcundness and nerves, and goes to the
altar pale and worn, ard often with an
uncomfortable t. ndency to nervous
irritation, which promises i'll for the
beginning Of her welded life.
Now and then bride is sensible

unstable as an April day. it is really
more satisfactory to get her gowns 4

Leather Bodices.
Very stunning street gowns have
leather bodices made in q round-waist
fashion, with frin of bias cloth added.
The skirt of the gown is gored closely
about the hips that it may not inter-
fere with the fullness Of the bodice
frill. At the foot there are three tiny
frills Of leather set OF a deep facing Of
the same that finishes the inside and
outside edge of the skirt. The bodice
has cuffs and collar of cloth to match
the skirt. Such dress is, OF course,
worn without outer cloak.
Very heavy leather is often employed
with good effect, though the observer
Is forced to wonder if such requires the
se1yices Of q shoemaker. A more fit.

chamois, and in all cases, the leather or
kid exactly matches the cloth used in
combination. Chamois is especially
suited to this use and is beautiful in
deep red, gleen and purple.
The kid or skin is mounted Oh a fit

made, has only side and shoulder seams
being stretched to the figure. Great
care must be taken to avoid the bad
taste Of suggesting trunk trimmings,
