Black and white satin striped silk
wolfe, marquisette and silk, the stripes
often strikiHgly wide, have made up
some of the most stunning gowns seen
at daytime weddings this spring. A
handsome gown at one of these we'd
dings was of black and white striped

satin. The girdle was a high folded
affair. over which the silk drapery was
caught at each side with a rosette of
