big white hats trimmed with pale blue
plumes and blue satin ribbon. Their
sashes and collars were blue, and their
bouquets pink roses. The color note of
blue and pink made a charming contrast.
The expense of the gowns deters many
brides occasionally try to consult their
a girl from being a bridesmaid, so that

cites that will not only be pretty on the
one occasion, but useful afterwards.
summer silks are so inexpensive and at
tractive, too, that they are rapidly grow
ing In favor. For a wedding that is to
take place in the middle of Tune the
BRIDES gown is to be of white satin mad
severely plain, and worn with a point
lace veil. The bridesmaids are to wear
SILK goWns-two of pale blue with
Wreaths of pink roses in P~ompadour pat
tern, and two of pale pink with deeper
pink design. The skirts are quite plain,
demi-train; the waists are cut in Marie
Antoinette style, and are trimmed with
hchus of white edged with lace ruffles;
elbow sleeves fitting tight to the arm and
finished with lace ruffles.
Large picture hats of white straw,
trimmed with black and white ostrich
plumes, make the wearers look as
though they had stepped out of some
old picture frame. The hats are the
most expensive part of the costumes.
for the silk costs very little, rs cents to
81 a yard. and fourteen yards will make
the gown.
Pale yellow, net, null, or chiffon gowns
made over satin or ~taffeta, and trimmed
with black velvet sashes and collars,
and worn with big hats trimmed with
ribbon and yellow roses, make effective
and quite inexpensive costumes. In
these are many varieties of net that are
inexpensive. With these gowns black
glace kid gloves should be worn. To be
sure, the black and yellow are somewhat
on the poster-girl order, but that need
not condemn them. and such sharp con-
trast in colors to the brides gown is
most effective.
If you want a veil warranted to in
sure good looks, get. a shadow veil. 1t is
the latest thing in face coverings, and
it is declared to be the one and only
thing of its sort which will properly,th
is to say, becomingly, protect your fea-
lures.
A shadow veil comes in the very finest
black or white silk tulle. and is cut on a
pattern SO skillfully manipulated that
when the veil is pinned in place not a
single wrinkle crosses ones face. The
| pattern takes somewhat the form of a
| gibbous moon, and the point striven after
is to avoid wrinkles in the yelling. for
they seem. to throw lines of age into the
face. The bottom edge of a shadow veil
has a narrow selvage, and then through
the tulle run, al eighth of an inch apart,
parallel lines of black thread that are
very fine.
Shadow wells are sold with six or eight
or ten of these lines, some of them run
ming up high enough to cast their shadow
over the mouth, while pretty girls wear
those that have lines clear up to the
level of the eyes. 1t is almost as mex
%plicable, but, nevertheless, a very impor-
tant fact, that any skin under a we'll
ined shade veil appears to excellent
advantage, and that under this cobweb
covering. whether bought in black or
white, defects of the facial cuticle are
not apparent to the keenest eye.
There has been a great deal said about
cobweb wells, but it is a term that was
in no way descriptive, except as COM
~paratively with the heavy net wells. The
newest veil is in reality a cobweb veil,
with all the irregularity and variety of
angular joints of a cobweb, and in the
centre or whereabouts of each web is a
chenille spider with long pointed legs.
The effect at a little distance is Of
stars. but a closer inspection shows the
mesh of the veil. and it becomes appar-
ent without doubt that the spiders web
and the spiders are all there, waiting
for the traditional fly. About the Dor
der are figures of the same shape as the
spiders, but without the chenille.

Before everything else the young
woman has a right to expect from her
husband tenderness, sympathy and faith
says Ruth Ashmore. writing in the June
Ladies' Home Journal of seWhat to
Expect from a Young Man. "But some
times, in his eagerness to make all life
fair to her, he fancie she is a doll, and
not a woman. And a doll is a very selfish
toy; it demands careful treatment all the
time, and it gives nothing but q pretty
appearance in return. 1t is the foolish
wife who expects infallibility in her hus-
band. She forgets that there Is a diff
ference between the housewife and the
house moth. She should expect from her
husband politeness at all times, and a GER
tain gentleness that every man, possess
ing the real instinct Of a man, gives to
a woman. But she should not expect
from him too much. She has no right
whatever to ask him permission to live a
lazy life herself, and to give up all her
days and years to vain and idle thoughts,
= When the wife can make her hus-
bands homecoming a joy, his home-stay-
ing a pleasure and a delight. and his leav-
ing home a sorrow, then, and then only
can she expect a great deal from him."
For preventing wrinkles try a little
almond oil rubbed on with the finger from
the outer corners of the eyes toward
the nose. Never rub the eyes when wax.
ing in the morning, but sponge when wax
fresh cold water if you wish to prevent
wrinkles appearing in the corners.
