WEDDING GOWNS.
Several important weddings of late have given
some interesting hints regarding costumes for such
functions. Here two up-to-date wedding gowns.
Very graceful and simple is a princesse frock of
white satin with high, plain choker and long, tight
sleeves Of the same. Soft frills of lace fall over
the hands, and a lace bow fastens the choker at
the back. About the shoulders is a fchu of some
priceless old cream Chanty that is rarely seen
now This Is arranged in square, knots the
breast and falls in long ends down on the skirt.
The veil is of tuIe. The second dress is far more
elaborate. Ivory satin is again the material and
the princesse form is used. The upper part of the
bodice is draped with lace and this falls down one

side to show little of lace underskirt. The same
