scanning, of course, being in the center
underneath. These plaits are pressed in
firmly and form sheath effect around
the waist and to a point several inches be-
low the hip line; then the scanning ceases
and the plaits are pressed in graduated
width to the knees from which point they
swing free. To give additional width
around the feet the skirt is sashed up to
the knee each side of the wide front sec
tons, and pane.s of sun-ray plated crepe
de chine are let in. Four-inch rufiles of
white lace set in under the slashed
edges, and at the top of each slash a care
lessly tied bow of white velvet ribbon is
fastened. The bodice is straight across the
back, but deeply pointed in the front, the
lower third being a peasant girdle and the
upper two-thirds of the crepe de chine
shirred al the top to form lengthwise folds
that extend down to and under the cross
wise folds of the girde part. In the CEN
ter front a deep V of Irish crochet lace over
tucked chiffon is inserted, and then comes
the novelty in bodice decoration that
gives surplice effect Inch-and-a- half
wide puffs or bouillonnees of soft white
satin, edged on each side with delicate
white lace, are slipped over thin silk elias
tics in the same way that the rubber straps
OF nose supporters are covered with satin
ribbon. The arrangement allows the puffs
TO give with the movement of the figures
after they are drawn taut across the bodice.
one of these fiat puffs starts from each
arm eye and curves downward, outlining
the Of the Irish crochet and then cross
ing IN the center front Just above the Cir
die ending, also at the top of the girdle,
under butterfly bows of white velvet rib
bon. The lace from the top of these cross
ing sections runs over the top of the Shout
ders and heads the high, full, single puffs
that form each sleeve. There is no bouil-
lonnee at the back, the lace dropping over
the shirred crepe forming the only decora-
ton. From the wide and high single puffs-
stinened with taffeta-the sleeves are shir-
red just above the elbows, and are finished
oy Tour lace ruffies of the same width and
design as the narrow ones on the corsage;
Two OF them turn up and two down, and
between them is an inch-wide puff of satin.
The TWO lower ones droop below the ell
bows. The satin forming these tiny scant
puns is beautifully embroidered by hand
in tiny pink rosebuds, and there is a knot
and long end al the back of the skirt of
white liberty satin ribbon, also embroid-
cred in clusters of these rosebuds
A hat for still another bride is a deep
red crinoline, with very wide brim lifted
at the left and back and having a mod
erately high, hve-shaped crown Three
different shades of red ribbon and of three
different widths laid in box-plaits the
wider and lighter one at the back and tbe
narrowest deepest toned at the outside and
IN the center and these are then placed
around the crown, and through the CEN

shades in omber effect. At the left hack
two wide but not long ostrich plumes shad-

nom the base of the crown and then droop
TO fall below the brim and almost against
the hair.
Another brides hat, a simple little one

IN fine crinoline, showing five shades of
blue braid, the darkest at the bottom
Through the left side and on a straight
line from back to front are thrust two
shaded quilts. showing the same shades of
DIue as the toque; the ends show at the
front, and one quill is placed directly above
the other The twists of blue ribbon around
, the crown are almost invisible
Still another trousseau gown is in male
