October is, like May, set apart as thu
most suitable Of all for weddings, though
why could never understand. Still al
most all the swell weddings are seen dur
ing one or the other Of those months.
There are to be two notable weddings
in October. and some Of the finest Of
bridal garments are now on the stocks,
and one or two favored souls are let to
gaze upon their beauty.
One Of these bridal outfits is for very
rich young lady, and she could have had
all the dressmakers in Paris working for
her, but to her credit, rs an American
girl, her wedding gown is made in this
country, Us Is also the silk Of which it is
developed. The lace unfortunately can
not he made in this country. And just
see what very dainty and elegant dress
it is! And don't you all wish you were
young again and could have another
bridal outfit?
But white wedding gown and veil,
like youth, come to a woman but once In
life. Such a pity it Is too! How many
mistakes we might rcctify in the light OF
experience of life if we could be young
twice! But we would need to be able to
keep the experience Of the first youth to
guide us through the second.
This particular bridal robe Is OF thick
and firm mat white peau de sole and,
made with medium train. The girlish
waist is made full in what is called "ba-
by" shape and has a few plaits laid along.
The belt Is but twist Of the same silk.
The yoke is Of real duchesse lace. The
long sleeves nre Of liberty satin laid In
upward plaits and end in rufhe of lace
ut the wrists.
The skirt is plated short distance
down the sides and laid in double box
plat in the back, which gives sweep
to the train. Around the bottom is
sort Of irregular putting Of liberty headed
by row Of splendid lace-duchesse lace.
and real at that.
The veil is of the most evanescent
tulle, with bunch of orange blossoms
set in with the tulle and falling back
from the face. But it Is not obligatory
to throw the veil back, for some would
not think they were really being married
il they could not have the misty, tllmy
folds over their blushing faces.
have often wondered why we always
say blushing bride. In nine cases out OF
ten the bride IL pale and frightened so
that she could not blush If she thought OF
it. Maybe some shadow Of the future

do look lovely, and more SO when the
soft white cloud shadows the face.
Brides can choose between big bou-
DUETS and the prayer book, and If they
will take the advice of those who know
they will take the prayer book, for they
will need in the new life oil that the
prayer book can teach them. Flowers
do not count The bouquets IRE unusu-
ally large this season and are not con-
fined to orange blossoms at all, for We
see white roses, orchids and stephanotis
and myrtle and, in fact, many different
but always white flowers, save in the
case Of orchids, which are apt to have
some other color in the center, but or
chds are permitted many things.
The other bridal robe was even less
pretentious, though no less pretty. The
silk was frosty taffeta with several tiny
ruf1les of white chiffon around the bot
tom, and the waist was one mass OF chif-
fon shirring with double lot around the
neck. The sleeves were also Of the shlr.
red chiffon, and they were long and had
points upon the upper side. which came
quite down to the knucklcs. The veil
was longer than the other one and is to
be thrown over the head and fall to the
knees in front and to the bottom Of the
dress in the back. This dress has the
train scarcely more than what we call
demitrain.
Now for some of the dresses made for
the mothers and bridesmaids One dress
for the mother of the first mentioned
bride Is of the richest Of dark purple
