flowers on a hat and natural overs of the

picturesque. One Empire costume OF this
class has been described, but many more
as charming are to be seen among the
French models, although the Empire coat
pure and simple, as it was exploited last
season, is not considered so chic as some
other models. There are many modified
models, and the Empire coat Of lace or
other transparent stuff over a prinoesse
robe is well liked.
Directoire ideas have gained upon the
Empire, and the two are combined until
the most learned student Of dress periods
would find it hard to say where one begins

more fashionable still, mousseline Gle SOLE.
These materials are, Of course, used for
the coat and skirt costume, too, usually
In combination with cloth or lace; and
mousseline de sole, al has been noted be-
fore in this department, enters into fully
three-fourths Of the drcssy Partisan Co.'S
tunes, hut for the Empire gown without a
coat such soft clinging or floating tufts
are the ideal thing. The short wasted
bodice may be arranged in bolero fashion
with elaboration of lace or embroidery,
or may be simply draped, but the SUCCESS
Of the frook depends, in any event. upon
the skill with which the gown is out and
hung, and ii is wise not to attempt such an
effect unless one has a dressmakor OF whom
one may be very sure. The picture frook
that succeeds merely in being a c~arioature
is the saddcst Of sartorial spectaoles, and
a group OF bridesmaids arrayed In Co.'S
TUNES resembling awkward neSlig6s

upon a downward career.

This costume deserves attention, quite
aside from any thought Of wedding party
plans, and is one of the most successfully

with good effect, although nothing would
be quite an adequate substitute for the

built up on princess lines and giving the
simplest Of silhouettes despite the intricate
detail. This point Of silhouette is q vital
one In connection with the bridal gown,
and though makers have experimental
along various lines nothing has been found
40 graceful and charming In general effect
as the clinging robe Of unbroken lines,
defining the figure beneath o floating,
d%iaphanous veil.
Tho charm of the bridal veil In decidedly
married when 1t falls over q gown OF fussy
design, broken out in frills and furbelows,
and the attempts made 90 far to use the
Empire robe for bridal wear has in the esti-
nation Of the Partisan critics been distinctly
unsuccessful, although one Of the greatest
French dressmakers recently stood sponsor
for O wedding gown Of this type and q
charming Partisan bride wore the gown.
The Empire model was OF the severest
simplicity, and was in itself charming;
but the general verdict among those who
make a serious business Of dress was that
the Empire lines were not artistioally suited
TO the bridal costume as are princess
outlines.
The prinossse Of the one piece class Ia
difioult of achievement. and where n
cannot employ a dressmaker capable Of
doing justice to such a model 1t will be
wiser to content oneself with q bodice
and skirt frook, the line Of union being
accented a. little rs possible, 30 that there
may be o suggestion Of unbroken line.
The surplioe bodice Is much liked by

lane, accentuates the length and slenderness
Of the figure, and simplihes the handling
Of the prinoeese idea. In n French model
worn by one Of the spring brides in Paris
and pictured here, q line Of orange flower
buds and leaves is set along the centre Of
the lace.
The French use the orange flower more
Generally than Americans now do, and In
fact insist more firmly upon wedding gown
traditions. White satin, Of the new supple
satin Of course. but still the traditional
white satin, is used for nine out Of ten smart
French wedding gowns; while on this side
OF the water wedding gowns OF chihonI
mousseline, sheer silks, crepe de chine and
other thin stuffs are popular, though white
satin 10 still considered the most conven-
tional thing.
For the sheer stuffs tho princess models;
with full skirts and bodioes fitted TO the
waist by fine vertical tuoks or shirrings,
preferably the former, are desirable, and a
frock Of this type usually has a round
guimpe and shoulder trimming, instead OF
the pointed line so common in the one
piece draped princess. The mousseline
and lace model reproduced in the central
group is a good frook Of this general class
and has a now and very modish note in the
finely tucked motifs OF silk set into tho
mousseline with inset lace.
A good model, too, though Of more con-
ventional sort, is pictured in the same group
and3came from one Of the most famous Of the
French makers, but would be becoming
only to a bride Of sufficient height to carry
we'll the pettiooat skirt. Well worn, that
same petticoat skirt, draped back with
little wreaths Of orange blossoms, to show
q petticoat Of lace, Is a picturesque and
effective feature Of the frock; and there
10 also a good detail In the arrangement
Of the bodice drapery, with its double,
shirred frills Of the satin, narrowing from
bust to waist line, down the front.
The skirt Of the wedding gown; like all
the modish skirts. takes on the circular
fare, though by no means always cut q on.

lar. II Ats snlgly over the hips and ripples
to ample width at bottom, and, though
houncing Of handsome lace il often used
for trimming, because Of the elegance inn
parted to the frock by such lace, the ten-
denoy toward fat skirt trimming, which
has been 30 marked during the past season,
lie emphasized in the bridal gown; and one
sees, too, many wedding gown skirts, un-
trimmed, and depending upon the grace
Of their folds and cut, for their cachct,
The one desire is to make asbride look tall
and slender unless, by nature, she IL al
ready too generously endowed with those
charaoteristics-and tho plain, untrimmed
skirt does much for this good cause.
Sleeves may be OF elbow length after the
prevailing fashion Of the season. or may
reach to tho wrists and drop over the hand.
Some OF the great dress artists contend that
the long mitten sleeve har nonizes better
with the Ions, c!inging, sweap!nS iIrr-+ ~
the gown than does a short sleeve, and
insist uFon n long close sleeve with tho rcs-
ulation princess wedding gown of satin.
There is something to be said in favor ot
their theory, but the elbow sleeve not eN-
IRENE in fulneSs at top and narrowing
toward the elbow to fit the arih closely
affords much the same silhouette in con,
neotion with long gloves that h prr.ani'l
by tho long sleeve. and the same oSior'i,ns
cannot be urged against it thit are Used
against the frilly or fussy short slseye.
