others.
And the blonde has a kingdom all her
own. one which Others dare not attempt,
but in which she reigns supreme.
Cool. delightful, refreshing harmonies
of color are hers, whether her cheek

that delicate paleness SO often accom-
panying faxen hair and the blue or
violet eye.
All cold colors belong to this type
such as others are wise to avoid.
Cold blue from dark to light. silvery
that have no suggestion Of green or yell
low, chalky blues that are dull of sur
face and resemble some cold SKIES are
all at her command, the pure skin with
its blue vein the pale golden hair gam
ing a peculiar value with such a setting.
Harmonies of pale, cold green with
white or gray ae also hers, colors when
make others look ready for the TOMB
but which only enhance her peculiar
loveliness.
The cool blonde may also wear the
purplish white to be found in the white
iris.
This harmonized with purple is ex-
cuisite.
When pink is worn it should be a pale
cold tint. Cold violet pink is fine and
contrasted with cold grays or with blue
makes a charming harmony
All the cold violet tints, even laven-
der, may be worn. Red may be used If
so dark as to show red only in the light
but jet black, blue black and a cold
green SO dark as to be almost black are
finer.
Where there is a good color in the
cheek, blue white, the most trying OF all
colors, can be worn to advantage
This type never looks so well as in
diaphanous materials of the pure colo
colors.
White muslin should be one of her
favorite materials, for few are more be-
coming.
Gray contrasted with blue or violet or
purple, with black, black with white,
black with a cold violet pink are all
charming combinations.
The ornaments for this type admit of
great variety, amethysts, emeralds, dia-
monds, s%apphires, opats onyx, jet, silver
and steel being all suitable.
Among the flowers, white roses, all
white and purple mixed blooms, a~zaleas,
purple pansies and white iilacs can be
worn.
The colors to be chiefly affected are
Blue white, blue black, jet black, cold
lilacs, all cold blues, cold dark green,
cool grays, cool pale green. heliotrope
purple, cold pale violet pink.
Those to be avoided are:-Warm violets,
ambers, browns, yellow green, russets,

1t is a poor fashion that does not bene-
fit somebody, for while the average wom-
an is making valiant wal against the
new skirt. autumn brides are full of deep
content. This new cut of the neither IRA
peries certainly add to the height and
slenderness of those who are booked this
month for that trying walk up the church
aisle. though in an respects the bridal
dresses are p~rettier than ever before
Any rich white silk goods is acceptable
for a wedding gown, but If you must be
wed in the most fashionable fabric of the
season you will have a white duchess silk.
This is neither more nor less than a very
heavy peau de sole, and sugar-white is
the proper infection of blanched purity in
which it must be chosen.
Perhaps it is as well to common on the
brevity Of the wedding gown trains. Half
a dozen yards of white satin is consider
ed rank and tasteless extravaganza in any
but a royal parsonage who dresses accord

publican orders the bach breadths of her
skirt to curtain out six to ten inches, and
that is eli, and if you turn up the bottom

with brilliant silver tissue.
Rare and yet more rare every year is
the woman who elects to wear to the al
tar the all-enveloping veil of tulle. Wells
are almost universally pinned back from
the face, and fall in a narrow cascade of
tulle or lace, down the shoulders. Brides
have come to the conclusion that the veil
interferes with the well-planned tableau
her gown should present, and that a
shower of tulle prevents a~ppreciatiye
womankind in the congregation from taxi
ing in all the best points of the costume;
therefore, at some of the more recent
weddings, only two delicate tabs of lace
fell from the crown of the head to the
waistline of the wife-to-be.
Other brides, seen so far, lave adopted
small, narrow tulle streamers with finely
tucked edges, and these diminishing wells
are fastened to the head by coronets of
white roses just as often as by orange
blossoms. Sometimes tall. richly carved
ivory combs fasten tuile wells in place, as
Spanish women wear their mantillas, and
