With the coming or rail- the bride
has again made her appearance in all
her loveliness, and there is a fresh
array Of new and beautiful frocks in
the contemplation of which women
never tire. Satin sometimes veiled
with lace is at the moment the favor
ite wedding robe, although the robe Of
one fashionable bride Of the east was
made Of a superb panne velvet
trimmed with old family point lace
and a large lace shawl veil added to
the richness Of the costume. OF course
it takes either tall or a full figure
to properly carry such rich materials,
and the petite or thin bride would do
well to wear chiffon or other filmy
gown and tulle veil Such frocks can
be exQuisitely embroidered and be
quite as beautiful and far more suita-
bic for the thin or short girl than vel
vet.
No matter how simple the bridal
gown itself may be, there is a large
field of choice in the matter Of the at
tendants' frocks, and party Of brides
maids may be gowned in different col
ors or shades Of the same color, or if
a matron Of honor or a maid of honor,
or both, are added to bridesmaids
there is a still greater chance to dis
play artistic taste and originality.
If there Is to be extreme simplicity
in the wedding gowns. then a house
wedding or a small church would seem
the proper thing; but If a large church
wedding, with a long invitation list in
cluded in the program. then let there
be as novel and beautiful garments
and other accessories to the pageant
as is consistent with good taste-and
a lot more is consistent than the hide
bound lover Of the commonplace is
usually willing to ADMIT.
The French adhere strictly to the
ieune Gle idea in dressing theii
brides, the simplest frocks and usually
tulle wells, but their girl brides are
quite different from ours, and SO /.
the whole social scheme. It behoove.
the American woman to exercise hei
originality in the matter of dress. i
she have it, and not only to select th,
best Of the English and continenta
fashions, but to add touches Of he
own and add originality to the scheme
or to evolve new designs.
But other apparel must be consid
cred besides the bridal outfttings AM
we must needs turn to the tailor-madl
costumes. AS a general statement W.
would say that the skirts are shorte
and the coats are longer, although
with the long coat a short skirt doe
not look well. The skirt that JUS
touches the ground is permissible, an
long princess coats in cloth are mad
just above the ankles Then on tn
other hand the half-length coat
equally popular.
Checks are popular, and are use
extensively by leading tailors in rathe
somber mixtures that lend themselve
admirably to the braiding which /
such a marked feature of the Viennes
tailormade.
Another delightful trimming, an
one that is gladly welcomed with tn
first touch Of autumn, is velvet. We
vet collars are used even on ridin
habits, and some Of the smartest clot
dresses are strapped with it.
The coming of autumn has brough
with it a revival Of satin trimmed wit
cloth, and very noticeable in a crow
is an evening gown OF eopper-colore
satin trimmed With gold and shade
embroideries. with an introduction {
real lace at the deco age and Ion
