ME FOR BRIDE.

satin outlining its bottom curve. The
sleeves are also OF the chiffon. held at two
points with lace that they may pun at

no hem shows-which, with the massive

court train. The veil drops slightly on the
tan and is Of raw-edged tulle caught at
the top OF the head with a knot OF orange

The costume the little maid of honor
wears Is OF white gros grain, with coral

All Novelties in This.
The second bridal toilet, though charm
ing in its own way, loses somewhat through
too energetic striving for novelty. Simple
lines are always more becoming than fussy
effects, and nowhere is this fact more strilx-
ing than in wedding fnery, which to pos
sess the dignity its office calls for can not
pc too furbelowed. However, there must be
ueNlces Tor all types, and perhaps the de-
signer- had very thin girl in mind-the
sort whose young bones must be hidden at
any cost-when this creation was evolved
AT any rate, 1t seems admirably suited to
such wearer, and those who care for tunic
effects will find in the lace upper part a
drapery much affected by dressy French
gowns.
There. is always talk against it. but all
The sighs and omens point toward a revival
OF the overskirt. Where there is no tunic
some other skirt will show a hip yoke of
lace or rich embroidery, pointing down into
WeH-dehned little apron at the front. IL
short at the back. And what Is this but the
overskirt in the germ? Well, We shall see
what We shall see.
Meanwhile let US return to the tunic gown,
whose g9Sund principle is a white taffeta
princess slip, opening at the back and cut
en- train. Striped Louisine forms the finely
killed skirt founce, which is edged with q
tiny ruching Of white chiffon, and over a
tucked bodice of Louisine the princess up
perdress is placed, the corset portion being
silk-covered whalebone. 1t is of point an
-plique, one Of those delicate braid sewn
nets. which are as beautiful as inexpensive
tas laces go). and a bertha of the same is
caught ar the bust with a diamond and
pearl brooch. A knotted girdle of chiffon
with slides of the same stones gracefully
drapes the hips and falls at one side. The
veil Is OF tulle, but unlike the nimbus that
hangs about the other bride II shows an
inch-wide hem.
bridesmaids Gown.
The bridesmaids costume is what IN
known as COSTUME russe"-at least IL
was called Russian dress by the oblig-
ing lady who furnished the design 1t is
of cloth in a blue that touches on tur-
Quoise. with the hardness of that colo,
left out, and trimmings OF brown sable
fox The model is sort of redinEote,
demi-traIned and worn over a high, long.
sleeveo slip OF white gros grain
The becoming hat Is also blue and
white. cloth forming the puffed crown.
OF blue panne. slipped through a hand
some buckle, ornamenting the front And
now the fetching detail Of the bridesmaids
yet-up-ths bridegrooms gift which she
wears near the left shoulder; no more than
a veryscommonplace duck in tiny diamonds
set In aluminium, for barnyard creatures,
you must know, are the latest things In
jewelry.
we will throw the rice and the slipper and
watch one OF these fair brides go away In
the smarts coat that follows. The wedding
veil need not necessarily be Of tulle. Lace
ones are worn SIS well, and some seen in
point applique are possessions to be de-
sired and cherished forever. the dainty
borders running to embroidered orange
blossoms, Jessamine, doves and love-knots.
One yard and half in width and three
yards and quarter In length are the
proper dimensions. and SIT will buy a per-
feet love.
The wedding handkerchief, which Is some
times carried by its center-1ust a pinch OF
two fingers, you know. under the prayer
hook-should, of course. have a border OF
lace. even IL none is worn elsewhere Nom
ogrammeo medallions in transparent cor
ners are modish designs for these.
For Travelling.
For the going-away gown pale tan zibe-
line is a stylish and beautiful material.
One OF such a stuff has trimmings OF black
soutache braid. white guipure and black
velvet ribbon. The cut shows the disposi-
tion Of these. the dapper coat that tops
the smart gown being Of lightweight kerr
sey in the same faint brown, with heavy
stitched border. A lining and collar Of
sable fox are elegant features which make
the bride almost forget the new husband.
