PARTS, France.-It is the season for
brides to plan their finery. The mo-
distes run their fingers through the
folds Of finest lace while mademoiselle
the bride-to- be-looks on and signs
with anticipation an interested spec
tator!
All the bridal traditions are violated
this season; and we are having brides
such as never wSre seen before in the
world of fashion.
Never before have the necks of bridal
gowns been cut lower than the chin,
yet this season they are rounded below
the throat, and are even low enough to
show an inch of the neck. A soft chif-
fon stock may he worn if desired, for
there are many brides who simply will
not depart from tradition to the extent
of wearing the low neck.
In another respect the brides of the
autumn of 1900 are departing from
time-honored custom. They are wear
ing the soft smooth satin-faced goods

IL spite of the financial difficulties in
which the Castellanes DIRE said to be
involved, the Countess is out as much
as ever and looking charming. She is
the matchmaker OF the younger set of
Paris; and is the acknowledged patron
css Of every love affair. She attends
Lore weddings than any other society
woman in Paris: Of course this entails
giving many present, but this means
no embarrassment for the Countess.
A Wedding Gown.
Recently she attended wedding at
which she wore that color of the month
biuei Her gown was lovely thing in
perlwinkle blue brocade draped with
lace. The bodice was cut in TWO long
points in front. that latest scheme to
give length to the waist. Stoles of lace
fell from two rosettes of silk upon the
bust The stock was of lace with ends
sharply wired in the back.
The pride on this occasion wore a
gown Of satin faced cashmere surely
as lustrous as satin. The apparent
economy of this costume was destroyed
by the panels OF lace which trimmed
its side breadths. The Lace was a rare
old Point, in pattern, the designs being
almost raised, SO fine and soft and clear
were they.
The bodice was tight fitting without
a suspicion of blouse, on the contrary
there were short bodice points in front.
Inc neck was very low and there were
no sleeves, the yoke and sleeves being
covered by the rare lace. Many of the
wedding gowns are fade in this way
with transparent neck and sleeves.
The brides trousseau of the season
Of 1900 consists largely of the small
things of dress. Instead of ten dozen
of all kinds of underwear there are
more cravats, more neckers, more COL
larettes and more veSts. Ten dozen
would not be too many of these arti-
cles If all were enumerated. And the
reason for this is apparent. With the
new bodices of this season there is re-
quired a separate yoke, often a separ-
ate vest. With these must go neck ar
