is arranged on the coiffUre in deep plaitsr
leaving small ends upright on the crown
of the head To this piece is firmly PIN
ned the coronet of orange blossoms, the
single bride rose or the .'sunburst' Of
briIliants as the mode Of dressing the
brides head is arranged.
What is called the face covering is a
small separate piece of tulle or lace. This
covers the brides face as she goes up the
aisle. and is removed by the maid-of-
honor after the ceremony. before the
bride turns to come down the aisle on the
arm of the new-made Benedict.
To all outward view the veil is in one
piece draped over the brides head, but as
a matter of fact, the separate piece is
resorted to, so as not TO damage the coif-
fure or pull the coronet over one ear
when the bride as is supposed throws
back the veil from off her face" The
face" covering is attached with a couple
OF halrpins.
The maid of honor always whisks it out
of sight, it matters not how or where it
is disposed If invisible TO the eyes of
the congregation. The face" covering
reaches to the waist. By using it the
bride avoids resembling "a fountain of
tulle." as may happen when the flmy
cataract is disposed to entirely cover her
face and person.
In spite Of the traditional preference for
lace-trimmed gowns Of gauze or sheer
fabrics fer a garden party, there is MOTH
Ing more fashionable than one Of pale
colOTed tailor-made linen. 1t is hard to
decide between the rose pink, fresh as
Aurora's S cheeks, or the heavenly blue, or
the golden yellow linen. The fine linen is
as glossy as satin, and seems to have al
most as much body when first made
up. These gowns are carefully lined, stiff
fened. ano stayed until they seem TO have
few points of resemblance between them
and the old-fashioned wash dress" The
slim young mat-on, tall and slender in
her rose pink tailor-made linen, outshines
the younger girls in their furbelows and
founces.
linens is white or ecru, solid, all-over en-
broidery, OF sprigged batiste. Chiffon LIB
erty silk, and the satiny gauzes are mot
in it this season compared with all-oVer
embroidery and fine needlework- The
familiar cart-wheel and the countless in
terlacing OF arabesques multiply q pro-
fusion Of patterns for US TO choose.
Touches Of black velvet, sparingly en-
ployed, IS another favorite device
Hand embroidery is having immense
vogue just now. A little of ii smarter
a summer frock and gives II distinction
1t saves q gown from the dubious i'm
preston of having been turned out ready
made in hundreds of the same pattern.
Applications OF hand embroidery need not
y
scarcely be neglected by the girl who de-
sires her summer wardrobe faithfully to
reflect the changes which come over the
face of fashion
Instead of lace one sees taffeta en-
ployed TO trim a foulard silk. 1t may
seem odd to decorate one silk fabric with
another. but IT is quite fashionable. Pip
ings OF black taffeta print smart pattern
on an almond green foulard around the
hips like a low girdle and straight down
the front. Here and there on the Eton
and once only upon the sleeves. Some
times the pipings are waved, fUting up
and down with undulations. Quite as Of
ten the pipings adhere TO straight lines
in the effort TO follow tailor smartness.
A feature of fashionable gowns IS the ar
rangement Of bands. White linen bands
are used on a raspberry -colored dress.
The bands are studded with French knots
IN either black or raspberry pink en-
broidery, cottons, or floss silk. Some
times the bands receive a regular design,
trailing vines or buds, or single flowers
or geometrical figures applied at inter
vals Bands Of ecru embroidery make ef-
fecttve applications. You see them on
blue cloths and blue silk summer frocks.
