June Wedding Gowns

Wedding costumes are the all absorbing
topic of conversation at the moment and
Will be all through June, and il is curious
to notice how many different materials are
allowed now that few years ago would
have been thought impossible. The gown
worn by Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt on her
wedding day was one Of the most unique
Of the season and was made entirely of
tucked white tulle, with lace only at the
collar and in the sleeves. It is said that
it took twenty-five women week to tuck
the tulle, but anything more exquisite than
the gown has never yet been seen. Now
comes the Liberty silk wedding gown,
trimmed with chiffon and lace, delightfully."-
cool and summery looking. and very
youthful. but the trouble is that when too
elaborately made ct looks more like a
graduation gown and lacks the severity
that at one time was so requisite to any
smart wedding gown.
When white satin is used 1t is the Lib
erty satin and in simple design. One econ
omical fashion is to have a court train Of
satin and the gown itself of lace and the
train made so that it can be taken off af-
terward, leaving a white lace gown, but
there is something rather absurd in talk
Ing economy with so costly a combination
as lace and satin. However, the fashion
Is pretty one, worth copying. Chiffon
wedding gowns are fashionable and for
the moment attractive, but It requires so
many yards Of chiffon TO make any sort Of
an appearance, and chiffon has bad way
Of going to pieces in damp weather so
that after all once is enough for st to look
very smart. As a rule, wedding dresses are
not supposed to be worn twice for the same
occasion, but, all the same, the wedding
gown generally does duty for some few
other entertainments, and the chiffon, un-
less made exactly right, is not very salts
factory. When 1T is, however, its charm is
difficult to resist. The almost too popular
fad Of accordion plated gowns is seen in
this fabric, with the yoke and cuffs of lace.
Nothing very original but yet cool and
dainty looking.
In lace, satin or silk the princess style
is one Of the best for a wedding gown, but

Care of ChiIdren's Hair

Mothers should teach their children to
care for their hair as early as possible. II
the little girl is coaxed into the habit Of
giving her locks a hundred strokes with a
stiff lrush every morning and evening and
braiding them loosely for bed, the founda-
ton for future beautiful head 0f hair
will be laid. Counting the strokes will
tighten the task for her, and she will soon
become accustomed to it and make 1t part
of her daily toilet. Too many children
are allowed TO 90 to bed with their hair
IN a tousled condition only to have it
jerked and tangled hastily when school
time comes around. Such a practice is
disastrous TO the nerves Of a sensitive
child and ruinous to the hair. Teach the
little daughter to take care Of her hair.
and at the right time, and also to keep her
brushes and combs in the proper state of
cleanliness. These articles should be as
strictly personal property as the tooth
brush. Never allow one child to use the
others hair-brush. Diseases of the scalp
are most contagious and the brush is the
surest germ agent.

Fashions in JeWeIry

A beautiful bracelet seen recently was a
plain circlet Of gold the ends of which
terminated In serpents heads. Each head
was composed Of a single oval amethyst,
sunk in the gold. 1t was a rich and quaint
piece of jewelry.
In London emeralds are very much IA
vored just now, and form ideal adornment
for blondes. The notice of recent func-
ton contained dazzling description of a
white chiffon gown trimmed with touches
Of green and resplendent with emeralds.
Opals, pearls and turquoise still hold
their own, but pearls are now so costly
that they are only owned by the very
richest people. A decided vogue has de-
veloped in the matter Of settings. Jewels
are now set clear" as little gold being
visible as possible. The beauty Of rare
gems is much enhanced thereby.

It costs about As cents without the trim
