New York, March 30.--After the vast
and variegated influx of wedding
gowns that have lately invaded the
newspapers, it seems almost an imper-
Thence TO further dilate on the SUBJ
ject, but since this is the moment for
marriage frocks the impertinence can
not be helped. All things have their
seasons and with Easter bells and the
change of the iris on the FURNISHED
dove" wedding gowns are in their
choicest flower, this being of all the
year the most fashionable period for
the tying of holy knots.
The Bridal Gowa.
70 begin then, satin is par excellence
the material of materials for the prop
er wedding frocks. Nobody, according
TO high authorities on the subject, who
is really anybody, can wear anything
else. The material. too, must be of a
superior grade, have. indeed. if pos
sible, that marvellous, old-fashioned
bnack of standing alone and only
the bodice, which should be high and
long-sleeved, has the privilege of trim
ming. The skirt is severely plain and
is made with a goreG front and sides
and trained back that may travel out
TO almost any distance, though one
yard and a quarter is considered a
happy medium to strike in the way Of
length.
JeveIed Lace.
4 very charming wedding gown,
here pictured, and that has just been
completed for an Easter bride, has a
train of this length. The material is
duchesse satin in a weight almost of
thin cardboard, and a soft ivory tone,
the trimming on the bodice being old
point net and point lace studded with
real diamonds. This precious lace, the
wedding gfft, by the way, of the bride
groom, takes the form of two shoulder
straps, and each tiny diamond has it's
separate setting, which is clamped on
to the lace. Nothing more beautiful
could be imagined, though certainly
point lace sprinkled with real gems
cannot be said to be a popular trim
ming for wedding frocks.
The Gould Model.
The bodice, with its half circle satin
folds, follows closely what is known as
the Anna Gould model which, of
course, will be a favorite for brides
now for some time TO come. 1t is en-
trely of satin, the blouse front Of the
point net, under the diamonded should
er straps being placed over the rich
stuff of the gown itself. The sleeves
have no interlining, and are the favor
tie glgot shape that fits the forearm
like glove and hangs in loose bag
upper pun. They fall low from the
shoulder, which is now the only cor
lect way for sleeves to fall
The Trained skirts.
The skirt has no stiff interlining. A
dainty lining Of ivory taffeta alone
faces the hared front and side cores,
but between this AMI the satin of the
back there is a light, feathery wad-
ding of cotton that gives the folds of
the train a rich heavy look
The veil Of tulle comes to the end
of the train, and rs adjusted across the
head with a wide effect, a spray of
orange Blossoms and a round diamond
and pearl brooch fastening it at the
TWO sides.
The shoes are of white satin en-
broidered across the pointed vamp
and then laced through three eyelets
with satin ribbon.

is one of four that will accompany this

1t is realized in cloth, which is the
