The Wedding Color Scheme.

The French wedding colors this season
are pink and yellow, and in the day time
the result is decidedly artistic. OF
course, the French add Il little blue III
the shape of blue wild flowers, or blue
ribbon, and the scene is a gay one, for
harmony.
The bride who dresses all in white may
have very little cclor embroidery upon
her skirt There is no objection to an
orange blossom design worked in the
ratural colors. And there is no ObJec-
tion. for that matter to a vine of heavy
white roses. with green leaves and
stems. But the bride may not fancy
such a SoWn.
The prettiest bridal party of Easter

ment of a Paris modiste who made the
gowns in Europe, will have>~a set of

Wedding Gowns of Lace.

They are taking the inexpensive net
laces and making them up perfectly
plain The trimming consists of a lace
founce, or a lace yoke, a lace panel.
or a very wide lace sash. The bodice
in this case is nearly all of the lace with
the net serving as foundation.
The trouble with the white lace dress,
or the net one is that il needs an ele-
CANT lining for the lining is as visible
as the dress. But II one will work care
fully upon the gown there can always
be found some cheap substitute which
looks just as well as the more expensive
material.
The bride can eccnomiZe upon her
gown. And, as she does so. she can
have the satisfaction of feeling that
other brides are doing the same for the
day of the immensely expensive wedding
dress has gone by. The bride of today
IS more sensible. And she relies upon
her veil to hide her dress. also upon the
occasion, and comforts herself with tbs
fact that she is to wear 1t only a very
few times.
The bridesmaids, or the maids ol

not be very costly. With taffeta less
than 81 a yard the gown is bound to be
reasonable in price. II should be an
ivory white with d high lace trimmed
stock. The sleeves should be puffed at
the shoulder in enormous puffs. and
there should be a very deep and very
tight cuff. Tn. yoke can be lace and the
lower part brX plated upon the yoke.
A wide girdle will finish this waist.
Dame Fashion rather insists upon it
that the wedding gown shall train. But
the bride who desires to transform it
into a piazza gown can cut off the train,
making the skirt suitable for walking
purposes or for dancing. A dressmaker
who is planning many an Easter we'd
ding dress has this to say about the
wedding robe:
mo wedding dress should be elabor-
ate. Three days should be sufficient for
it's making. If there is embroidery up
on 1t, then it will take longer. Other
wise, three days should be enough, with
two persons working upon it.
AN elegant material is peau de sole,
which, though dull, Is much esteemed
as the material for q brides gown. 1t
should be made long and trimmed with
the conventional fiounce, which should
be rather deep in. the back and sloping
narrower toward the front. The fiounce
should be headed by double shirrings,
and at the head of the shirring, there
can be little frill Of lace. 1t is a pref
ty idea to enbroider q running vine of
orange blossoms upon the skirt either
on the flounce or upon the skirt itself.
MANY brides resort to the shirt waist
even for wedding occasions. We had a
oride come to US yesterday to leave an
order for q handsome wedding skirt of

they are embroidering hat ribbons to "a
great extent.
Brides who are planning the summer
at some fashionable resort are making
two skirts with the wedding dress. One
skirt is long and trimmed with lace
ficunce. This is the wedding skirt. The
other skirt is short, is box plated, and
just the thing for dancing and for even
ings upon the piazza. The same waist
will do for both.

You can't do much better than ride
a skirt, unless you enbroider it, or trim
1t with lace festoon, which makes very
elaborate skirt for a bridesmaid.
There come lovely pattern dresses

wants to trim her slippers cheaply, but

Colonial brides and use big diamond

The bride need not wear gloves unless
she so desires. Fashion rather incltnes
TO no gloves at all. But the bride can
wear white gloves, carrying the right
glove in her hand. Or she can have IL
removed at the altar by the matron OF
honor. These gloves must be blue white
and long in the wrists.
The bride who starts at once upon her
wedding tourney should wear q little

sometimes called plateau. There must

pearls. but they come cheap If one
knows how to buy pearls by the peck
at the mock gem stores.
There is such fancy for mock gems
this year that one may be pardoned for
judging all jewels TO be mock ones.
There is hardly a great occasion at
which one does not see mock jewels
used for embroideries, for girdles, and
even fer necklaces and dog collars The
popular gems just now are pearls. al
though topaz and green stones OF all
shades are wonderfully liked. The bride
can make her bridesmaids gift of
large pink topaz and of pink mounted
shells without fear OF being criticised
by Dame Fashion, who smiles upon pink
of every description
Bracelets will be worn by the bride

are the silver chains. They are heavy

Brides in Travelling Gowns.

This, coming from one who makes
many a wedding gown, can be taken as
authority. The bride who wants TO be
married In travelling dress can select
the new Scottish cloths, which are
smooth and built of the light coffee col
deeper coffee. These dresses, which run
from the lightest biscuit and ecru down
to the deepest tan and brown, are ideal
for the bride who starts at once upon

%HE Easter bride will dress in
white. but her maids will be
glorious in all the colors of tie
rainbow, for II is the style to
have the spring weddings as gay as pos
sible
The innovation which the bride makes
this year is that she shall have eight
maids of honor and one matron of
honor. The latter supports her to the
altar and delivers her into the hands
of the groom.
The matron of honor may be the
brides married sister, or she may be
young married friend, bride of last
June or OF November. But she must be
young and blooming, and she must dress
in pink.
The wedding colors of this spring are
pink and lilac The bride carries flow
ers of pink-roses, orchids, or pinks, or
she goes into the spring garden and gets
a bunch of lilacs showing pink touches.
Her gown is white, but her flowers are
pink.
The material that is always correct
for brides dress is white satin. But,
where you tire of white satin, there are
other pretty suggestions, the most popu-
glossy, inexpensive. and easily draped.
1t makes up charmingly in the new
styles.
A coming bride OF Easter month Will
wear white peau de cygne, with
sleeves chopped off just above the wrist,

finished with lace. The bodice Will DE

Ii is not necessary 10 make the wed
ding gown very elaborate. and brides
are awakening TO this fact. The veil
hides the gown, which, If white and
glossy, and nicely finished, scarcely
shows at all, beyond looking elegant
as nnodiste expresses 1t.
The bride who is in mourning can be
married in thin white voile with dul
finish. or she can select poplin, which
is called mourning material or she
can use merino, cashmere, yelling, OF
