A dainty little sleeve has three rows
of ruchinR around It and is finished with
lace. The sleeve may be made loose or
tight, according to fancy, and may be
made very short or elbow length. as a
matter OF personal taste. Very short
ones are preferable fer this type of
gown. With this tint of pale rose color
the lace may be white, cream colored,
or light yellow.
Around the skirt are arranged four
rows OF the dainty. girllsh-looking ruch-

The princess style of gown, in various
modified sorms. has always heen fay-
orIte as well as most becoming style
for wedding gowns. This season the
stamp OF fashion Is set particularly up
on this type Of gown. and with II the
charming empire gown, also in modified
lines.
Both types Of gowns are dif1cult-the
empire especially sO-but both have the
long, flowing lines which adapt them

ing TO them a grace and dignity which

While simplicity IN skirt lines is
sought in a wedding gown, many styles
OF trimmings are in vogue. One may
e.nbelIish the gown with garniture put
on in zigZag. paraneled, or perpendicular
lines, and may use passementeries,
hand embroidery, lace. quillings, folds,
or knife pleatings, according TO the
material or which the gown Is made

bodice and sleeves, embroidered richly
by hand. and interspersed with applica

lire from 4 snort-waisted bodice TO the
feet is undesirable. may have a wide
pleated glrdle around the waist with a
separate skirt. This gives a suggestion
of empire or princess, and yet has the
effect OF shortening the figure.
The numberless charming arrange
ments OF panels and draperies now in
vogue give opportunities for bringing
out the best and conceaIing the worst
IN every WOman's figure, so that every
bride may have the joy of realizing
that she looks her best in her wedding
gown.

An Exauisire New Model.

The gown shown in figure A is a be-
hvitching example Of a wedding dress
suitable to a youthful bride. In another
material and trimmed differently, it
nyil make up admirably for an older
girl.
The material is fine silk point desprit
over a tafreta slip, with chiffon be-
tween the outer and under dress. This
yelling of chiffon, considered indispensa-
BILE beneath gowns of net, lace or SINH
lar diaphRnous meshes. gives a wonder

gown.

this, beneath which begins full gath
cred bodice OF point d'esprit.
Silk point d'esprit, by the way. is
much more filmy and delicate in ap-

Around the bodice is a wide band of

folds and has a double shirring down
