Chiffon is the leading material for wed
ding dresses, worn chiefly, however by
youthful brides, while young ladies past
| the budding season or those more mature,
are apt to choose some statlier fabric, such
as Olga, crepe de Chine with high, glossy
surface, or crepe de Chine with a slight
| twill or the genuine material in its own
peculiar attractiveness, and some of the
most elegant gowns of the season have been
| in crepe de Chine, embroidered to order
| Satin likewise remains in style, but Is not
frequent selection and the same can be
asserted of lace. Quite pretty and com
paratively inexpensive gowns are made OF
| fine yelling trimmed with lace.
Transparent yokes Of lace or chiffon, or
both in combination, appear on bridal
dresses of every description, and sleeves are
finished in keeping, angel drapery also being
| still in great favor. The heavier class OF
| fabrics are sometimes made in princess
STYLE. when a fine figure may admit the
| same Trains are round and of course vary
in length. according to fancy, and wells,
| usually of tule, are very long and kept in
position by garland of flowers, ending in
two sprays at the back, and for such pur
pose orange buds and blossoms lead, though
anv small white flower can be substituted,
the usual choice in place of orange blossoms
| being lilies of the valley, or Star OF Beth
lebem flowers. Bridesmaids sometimes
wear lilies of the valley, and for them any
pretty sheer material, especially net, Is APP
nropriate At recent wedding the brides
| maids wore pink net, made low neck and
short sleeves. with picture hats OF roses.
