SILK oRGANDIE.
the silk hangs in unbroken lines from
the bust line, where it is sewed to a
yoke of shirred white chiffon.
Around the bust from under the right
arm there was a scarf, or ''long
shawl" of white Spanish lace draped
up to the yoke ON the left side, where
it was caught up into bunch with
a spray of orange blossoms, and then
fell to the very floor. The yoke ended
at the throat, the rest of the neck be-
ing left uncovered.
The sleeves were of shirred chiffon
and reached to the knuckles. A tulle
veil hung to the bottom of the train in
the back and to the waist in front /
little spray of orange blossoms hang
ing loosely down with the lace scarf,
but none are to be worn on the head.
The modiste told me that the bride
is to carry large bouquet of orchids
and ferns.
A stunning travelling dress for this
same fortunate young lady is of pale

waist is tucked and run in diagonal
lines. The skirt is very long for an out
door gown and has eight or ten lines
of stitching directly around the bot
tom. There is a seam down the front,
and on both sides from about the
knees in a diagonal line to the center
of the back are narrow tucks, perhaps
so of them.
The skirt is sheath shaped all around,
save directly in the back, where it is
laid in many narrow plaits. With this
goes black velvet pointed Elton jack
ct with stitched cut out bands of the
pastel cloth and high collar and the
wide revers of the same. The revers
are embroidered lightly with gold
thread
Brides do not have the Secondary
dresses as they did. Everything but
their travelling gowns is just such as
they would wear at any time.
The traditional orange blossoms are
also a little out of date, and white
heather often replaces them; so do 9TH
er preferred blossoms. One thing
may note is that out of six dresses four
had long. square trains. and the very
heaviest quality of satin duchesse, ar
mure and faille are used.
One fancy seen in three of these was
a square opening in the blouse shaped
waist and this filed in with shirrings
Of chiffon. No bride wears low cut
bodice, and most of them have the col
lar as high as the ears and chin will
permit. Only one out of six fashion
able brides will have point lace veil.
All the others must be content with
tulle.
This one favored young lady says
this veil and the deep point fiounce
down the front of her gown are heir
looms and have been in the family for
generations. So they have. but not
her family, for happen to know just
whose great-great-gr grandmother wore
this lace in England. Times have
changed with that English family, and
so the American bride will wear the
priceless lace.
This young lady will wear for travel
ing mouse colored cloth. There is a
pointed tunic edged with deep APP
plique Of lace. There is side plated
fiounce of this cloth beneath the tunic.
The waist is blouse shape, the upper
part being laid in plaits. and the lace
applique is set across the bust.
Plaits and narrow folds and tucks
are largely employed as decoration
upon all these wedding dresses.
Next week | am to have delightful
times looking at the models for the
new Easter millinery. For once must
admit that I haven't the slightest in.
