THE LITTLE THINGS IN FALL DRESS.

Paris, France. 1t is the season for
brides to plan their finery. The mod:stes

finest lace while MISUNDERSTANDING bride

ton, an interested spectator!
All the bridal traditions are violated
this season; and we are having brides
such as never We're seen before in the
world of ashion.
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 chiffon stock
may be 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 wearing the
soft smooth satin-faced goods in place
of the traditional White satin. Can you
Imagine a material as fine as silk, as
glossy as satin, and as pliable as VEIL

full grade, surely such as was never seen
before. They are making a glossy Hen
rietta that is beautiful for bridal gowns;
and then there are the new nuns veil

does lace, which is the bridal stuff.
In spite of the financial difficulties in

ever and looking charming. She is the
matchmaker of the younger set of Paris,
and is the acknowledged patroness of
every love affair. She attends more we'd

Paris: Of course this entails giving many

A WEDDING GOWN.
Recently she attended a wedding at
which she wore that color of the month,
blue! Her gown was a lovely thing in
~periwinkle 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 bride on this occasion wore a gown
Of satin faced cashmere, surely as lus-
trous as satin. The apparent economy
of this costume was destroyed by the
panels of lace which trimmed it's side
breadths. The lace wa 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

The 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 made 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 collarettes
and more vests. Ten dozen would not
be too many of these articles If all were
enumerated. And the reason for this Is
apparent. With the new bodices of the
season there is required a separate yoke
often a separate vest. With these must
go neck arrangements. If the gown be
blue these must be blue, white n black
stocks and stocks of red and gold. Vests
and Jokes and collarettes there must also
be in abundance. Besides these come the
lace sleeves which accompany every
gown these days. So it is. that in buy
ing her trousseau the girl must think as
much of these minor items os she does
of her gowns. Roman blue and Russian
blue are the blues of the moment; ever
navy is popular and there are periwfnkle
n tendre and turquoise and the Other
blues, all now in vogue.
WEDDING TRIPLES.
There are new ~pocketbooks, and they
are odd.
