OF the new nuIfy wedding gowns and
in effect they are certainly exquisitely
lovely A white silk null gown over
white chiffon and taffeta, recently de-
signed for a New York bride, was
made with a double skirt effect and
trimmed with antique lace arranged as
a garniture and edged with narrow
white silk fringe The upper portion
of the skirt was made with hip yoke
of the lace outlined with rows of shir
ring, and the bodice which had the
effect of a bolero also showed the
shirring and the lace with it's border
and the dainty silk fringe.
Flower shaped lace insets form a
fairy-like trimming for a number of the
new wedding gowns for June brides.
There are airy white chiffon robes
made over white silk, which are. scat.
tered with full blown lace roses, grace
full sprays of lilacs, or artistic looking
lace orchids. Sometimes the lace
flower has the effect of being caught
to the filmy material by bowknot of
lace, which is also introduced as an
inset, and, like the flower, has the
fabric cut away beneath.
The embroidery wedding robe is also
new fashion this season, in white
silk null it is exquisite with an EN-,
broidered design of white silk orange
blossoms, daisies, or sprays of dainty
forget-me-nots.
AT an all white wedding, which is
| to take place early in June, the brides
dress is to be of white mousseline de
sole over white silk, deliberately en-
broidered with white violets. Little
lunches of white violets will also be
used TO hold in place the folds of her
tuile veil at either side of the head
And her bridal bouquet will be huge
bunch of white violets with many rib
bons arranged in loops and ends, the
ends knotted to represent violets.
Even a pretty girl may look any
thing but pretty on her wedding day
if her bridal veil is unbecomingly ar
ranged. However, there is no need
this year that it should be anything
but charming accessory to her we'd

an heir loom the tulle veil is preferred
to the heavier veil of lace. The tulle
adds the airy, foamy touch to the
costume so much to be desired. The
veil must be long, the square veil be-
ing preferred to the round 1t may be
finished merely with deep hem or
edged with narrow applique of some

In arranging the veil at the head the

The tulle may be plated or shirred

of orange blossoms, white violets, or
lilies of the valley may hold the plaits
in place at the sides; or they may be
fastened with small pearl buckles. It
is matter of individual preference
whether flowers are arranged with the
tulle toward the front or not. Orange
blossoms look extremely pretty caught
under the foamy folds of tulle in the
direct front. They are effective ar
ranged in sprays or in the form of one
or two small WreathS.

For the young woman who cannot
afford to lay her wedding gown aside
after the ceremony, but who wishes to
make use of it as an evening gown
an excellent idea is to have the long
train, which all wedding gowns should
have, made SO that it can be easily de-
tached and not ruin the tout ensemble
Of the costume. If the train is either
or satin or lace, it may be fastened to
fall from the shoulders, and in this
way be entirely separate from the rest
of the gown and easily removed when
desired.
The fact that the majority of June
brides will go to the altar in gowns Of
flmy materials does not mean that
the white satin wedding gown is no
more; for in no sense is this the case.
The stiff, heavy white satin gown is
no longer worn, but the wedding robe
of soft Liberty satin is regarded as
extremely good style.
