simplicity at once the acme of art and
triumph of true beauty A long train
falls away from the figure over soft
billows OF chiffon and lace that hold
the rich satin away from the feet and
froth out at every motion of the folds
that sweep the floor. The neck and
upper portion OF the bodice are finish
ed with very rare and beautiful point
lace, the lace being draped across the
bust in a girlish. charming manner and
the trimming being repeated in the
short sleeves, which are finished just
below the elbow.
The simple lines of the gown are
merely arranged to set off to the most
perfect advantage a magnificent court
train of brocade such as never Amer
lean bride wore before. This superb
train Is brocaded and embroidered in
white lilies, typical of the youth and

the princess lines of the bridal gown,
and a court train never looks better
than when hung upon a gown of this
cut.
Although Oriental silks play the most
important part in the brides trous-
seau. she has shown herself a true
American in having the greater part
of her wedding gown made of satin
woven in America. The princess gown
and lining of the court train are of
the richest and most lustrous satin
that the william Strange mills could
produce, and other fruit of the same
looms appears in another sumptuous
gown in the trousseau.
