Latest Pads and FancIes
 Latterly the bridal has shifted in point of popularity from June to Sep tenber or October, and with the tes- tive season now in sight the bride ana her interest assume paramount impor- tance in the fashion world.
 For many years through all the Varl- ations of styles and designs She Wed- ding gown remained unchangaDle III one respect-it must be of the heaVlesl stiffest silk no matter how unadapted to the prevailing mode or how uhoe- coming to it's Wearer. Now all that is changed and much more latitude is allowed; although white silk or satin is and perhaps al- ways will be the favorite foundation
 material, it may be softened Wlth trimmings Or even entirely covered ] with tulle, chiffon, net or lace, and IS in itself of a far more pliable, grace ful naure han ha which made up grandmoher's much-prized bridal gown
 For the bride whose nuptials are set l for he very frs of September days batiste sheer as a veil, made up over either summer taffeta or a peau de cygne is permissible, in which case the | lines are 'of extreme simplicity in spite | of masses of delicate Mechlin lace put on in bands and frills. Win costume of this sort the veil Is much more eitec- | tive if of Mechln or one of the figured 1 faces instead of the conventional tulle
 which somehow seems to be out of l place with it.
 l For anything like a ceremon1ous
 wedding, however silks and satins are still preferred, chiefly because less
 perishable and bevause sentiment even
 in this practical age demands that this
 most important dress o ia lifetime be somewhat more distinctive and dis
 tinguished than muslin, no matter how
 beautiful or costly
 From Paris comes an exquisite model
 in new material and with several new touches introduced. Sole de tulle
 is, as it's name implies, cross between
 silk and tulle It has soft, lustrons | surface flmer than taffeta. yet With | more body than tulle, possessing the | most desirable qualities of both. The
 foundation is of taffeta, milkWhite, and the design Empire The skirt
 hangs slightly fulled from a series of
 serpentine cored shirs which extend from the hips to the bust in girdle l effect, the undulations marked with heavy lace motifs Around the bottom
 the s5ie de tulle is given three wide tucks, including the hem each of which is headed with a frilll of narrow lace. Above this is a nine-inch band of ! Spanish lace. with scalloped edges. A
 scarf of the same lace is draped fichu
 fashion over the shoulders and tied
 in a knot with some white silk, high
 up on the bust. The point thus formed
 at the neck is filled in with chiffon
 topped with a stock of the Spanish
 lace, and at the back a long scarf is
 knotted where 1t meets the chiffon
 pointed yoke and falls in two long
 streamers nearly to the lower tuck at
 the bottom. The sleeves are novel
 little affairs being rather pouchy at the
 inchtop and ending at the elbow in
 two-inch double ruff1es of the gown
 material turned backward finished
 simply with ruching of narrow lace.
 Although the overdress is never and
 exceedingly popular. there are many
 1906 brides who prefer the con-
 ventional style; for them there is noth-
 ng more desirable, even amnog the
 myraids of novelties, than duchess sa-
 tin made en princess, if the figure per
 mits, or, barring that. with a princess
 girdle. The satin is so rich In itself
 that the simplest lines may be followed

 At one rf the coming Septembe weddings arranged for a country house
 the attendants will wear of whit dotted net over foundation skirts o

 The net gowns are trimmed witl Valenciennes lace Greek bant around the full skirts, and little Dutcf yokes filled in with Duchesse lace, ex

They may be finished at tn elbow with a fall of lace or ruff1es O ' he material, whatever it may be ] but more popular are the decorate, bands, either tight or loose-ftting. { Very charming bridesmaids dresse s are made of printed chiffon, large, soft l tinted roses scattered over the sur s face pr merely forming a wide border
 There are also some beautiful gray } anda blacks among these printe, chiffons which make up into atraetiv e gown for matrons.
