Picture bridal Gown

There was a time when 80 brides out
of 100 seemed content to appear in white
satin, and when a gown of white soft
silk was looked upon as a decided inno-
walton, and one, moreover that did not
deserve encouragement. BY slow degrees,
however, one lovely fabric after another
has been ingeniously introduced by the
modistes, until the bride OF today is con-
fronted by a positively bewildering choice
Of materials, and her safest plan is to
decide in favor Of something which she
knows from past experience is certain to
prove becoming to her own individual
style.
And here II is that the vogue for the
picture gown comes so pleasantly to the
rescue, since the graceful modes which are
inspired by the canvases OF the old mas
tiers know no hard and fast limitations,
and are positively mot OF an age, but for
all time" Bridal dresses designed on these
lines, too, do not bear their date, and can
be worn even for two or three seasons for
dance and dinner dresses. Picture gowns
are carried out most successfully in soft
satin, or In crepe de chine since graceful
folds and flowing draperies are inseparable
from bridal gowns Of this description.
When the bride as the central figure Of
picture gown, # is absolutely necessary, Of
course, that the bridesmaids dresses should
be in keeping and In their case, also, at
the present moment. there are many charm
ing styles available. The Romney dresses
in soft white satin, with pale blue sashes
and oross-over hschus OF white frilled mus
lin. are always becoming, especially when
the costumes are completed with hats Of
white horsehair made with shady brims
trimmed with pink roses and tied round
the crown with pale blue ribbon with long
floating ends at the back. For small chill
dren nothing Is prettier than the Charles
costumes In white satin. The boys suits
should be arranged with slung shoulder
ospes and worn with white hats. plumed
with ostrich feathers. while the little girls
should wear satin frocks made to touch
the ground and close hitting caps OF satin
and point lace.

Green and white wedding.

What is described as the most beautiful
green and white wedding was solemnized
In New York City church last week. The
bridesmaids gowns were Of white dotted
net over pale green chiffon. The stocks
and Jokes were OF unlined, thin, white
lace, almost like the net, and these Yokes
or guimpes descended low In the front In
curve point. Green. bretelles, perhaps
an Inch and half wide, edged with what
looked like pale green satin-covered cord.
crossed over the shoulders near the sleeves,
meeting and crossing below the point on
the guimpe in the front, also in the back,
and ending under the moderately wide,
Straightforward white girdles, made Of
white satin folds The sleeves were short
puffH Of white net over the green chiffon,
with lace rufies to the elbows and small
green bows on each.
The skirts OF these gowns were Of the
green chiffon and the white net gathered
at the top, both materials hanging In full
folds to the floor. Both skirts were RULED
at the lower edge with the material Of
which they were made, and above this ruff
fling, the top one edging about the knees
were five garland effects, the material be-
ing apparently gathered in ruched tucks,
say an eighth Of an inch deep and the same
