dedly negligee order, although scarcely
covering the elbows Lace also contributes
largely to the development of negligees,
which, however, are never mistaken by
the initiated for tea gowns. as they are
infinitely more simple In design and do
not have skirts of transparent materials,
although their coats or matinees may be,
and often are, OF lace, for the thrifty
woman realizes that an ancient gown Of
that material may easily be cut over
into an empire sacque.
Dinner and Bridge Coats.
Dinner and bridge coats are developed
of almost any material that Is ornate and
silken, but chiefly Of brocaded silk in
pompadour effects on a white or pale
colored ground. These are worn with any
trained skirt of net, lace. silk, satin or
velvet so long as the colorings OF the two
garments do not clash. Many women use
them altogether as home evening CO.'S
tunes. as they are less negligee than tea
gowns, as well as less costly, and also
serve to prolong the usefulness, of any
extra skirts that may be on hand. 1t is
thus that many a bride-to-be is planning
to utilize various ball dresses Of past
several new fur sets which she longs to
possess, the utility coat, which is an abb
solute necessity, or for the extra evening
wrap of embroidered velvet or satin.
which she imaglnes she needs.
Two Tailored Suits.
Every young woman should include in
her trousseau at least two tailored suits
for knockabout purposes. One of them
should be of dust shedding English mo-
hair, In black, green, brown or blue,
checked with white, and the other should
be of serge or cheviot In some dark
shade She will thus always have at
hand a neat street costume, as when one
suit is being pressed and sponged the
other can be in commission. If she does
not care TO provide several special morn
ing frocks, she may wear the tailored
skirts, with pretty muslin blouses, or
those of silk or fine soft flannel in simple
shirt design.
Small and Large Hats.
bride-to-be should provide herself
with at least six hats, and four OF them
should be large. The one worn with the
Direetoire going-away gown should be
somewhat on the poke order and provided
with strings which may be tied at one
side or merely looped, according to which
ever arrangement is most becoming. There
should be one dark velvet plume trimmed
large shape and another of net or lace,
equally elaborate, as we'll as two closely
fitting shapes of simplest design and a
tailored confection such, as the "New-
port" which will answer for rough
weather, as well as for motoring.

| skirts of a contrasting fabric, such as
| velvet or satin over gold f1et. narrow

fine the waist and outline the bodice decol-
| letage.
Stunning Travelling Gowns.
Since many fashionable welded couples
elect to take their honeymoon tour in
an automobile, the travelling costume Of
the bride now shows radical departures
from the simply tailored, soberly shaded
suit of few years ago, when it was the
aim of every well-bred pair to attract as
| little attention as possible. Some of the
| travelling gowns that are being made up
| for October brides are of fine broadcloth
in the light shades of blue and brown and
| usually in three pieces. the trained skirt
| and elaborately trimmed bodice of the
| princesse gown being supposed to rep
| resent two pieces, and the long and fancf-
| fully shaped Directoire or Empire coat
the third section. Not always are these
| costumes of one material trimmed with
satin or silk, for it is the fad OF the
moment to have the gown of heavy corded
Ottoman or of satin. and the coat Of
cloth or vice versa.
Velvet and VeIveteen.
The English fashion of having velvet
or velveteen going-away costumes is begin
ming to obtain on this side of the Atlantic.
If bride is to travel luxuriously, she
may quite properly adopt this style OF
custom, particularly as she need not then
carry 80 much luggage, as the skirt and
bodice, with its lace or net guimpe, will
answer nicely for dinner at an American
hotel of the less fashionable type, where,
happily, the English fashion of dining in
full dress is not In vogue. Many of these
velvet and velveteen costumes include
coat and long and a short skirt, for
they are usually developed in some dark
color and may thus be worn on the street
as well as in the house during the morn
ing or the afternoon.
Tea Gowns and NegIigees.
No longer is the tea gown confused with
the negligee, nor to be worn as such. for
while 1t is far and away more comfor-
table than the ordinary dinner gown. it
has become almost as elaborate and is
considered quite as correct for informal
dining and evenings at home. The tea
gown as now developed shows nearly as
much lace or chiffon as q ball gown, and
often 1t really is such a costume, slightly
altered by means of a long lace or en-
broidered net coat. with or without
sleeves and embellished with a satin sash.
In fact, 1t may be said that the fashion.
able tea gown in no wise differs from the
regulation dinner dress save that the
shoulders of its wearer are partially COW
cred, and that the sleeves are of a some
what different character and of a decl-

arranged in Alsatian manner or the cap
that is plated over fine wire frame and
has outstanding sprays of flowers or an
aigrette. Likewise, the moon-faced beauty
must avoid fat effects or any arrange
ment that will tend to shorten or add
width to her face; and If she persists in
clinging to a pompadour couture, she
would better gather the tulle closely into
fan that will flare gradually, so that
the greater portion Of the fulness will be
at the back of the head and shoulders.
1t is pretty fancy to wear the veil over
the face, as was formerly the case. but
1t Is rather more difficult to SO arrange
the veil that it will look well when 1t is
thrown backward after the ceremony is
over with and the bride receiving the
congratulations of friends.
Covering Neck and Arms.
So long as a bride goes to the altar
with her neck and her arms yelled she
may have them dressed in whatever
manner best pleases her. And because
the wedding gown is usually designed to
do duty on many future occasions, nota-
bly, for balls and dinners. 1t may quite
properly be furnished with a detachable
guimpe of net or lace. In this event the
yoke should have high, boned collar,
unless there is jeweled throat band.
and, IL the sleeves are made sufficiently
long to cover a portion Of the hands,
gloves need not necessarily be worn. The
fancy for going with uncovered hands is
rather sensible one, assit obviates the
difficulty with the gloves at the auspi-
cious moment when the ring is put on.
Reception Costumes of Vast Inn
pOrtance.
The autumn bride who weds a man of
position in the world of finance or In the
learned professions, cannot devote too
much thought as well as whatever money
she can spare for that purpose to the
number and style of her reception cos
tunes. She should have at least three
of these, and they should be of widely
different colors, material and design, SO
that there may be no possibility Of crit
ical newly acquired relations confusing
one with another. There will, of course,
he one satin gown, and this should be Of

The All Important Wedding Gown : Its Materials
coming1y Reception and Evening Gowns
Neglieees The Going Away Gown
Hats and Small Accessories

Upon the length of the brides purse or
the generosity of her guardians largely
depends the choice Of the material and the
trimmings for the gown which Is popu-
larly regarded as the most important one
ever worn by a woman, providing that
she elects TO venture upon matrimony's
uncertain seas. Satin has always held a
high place on the list of wedding dress
fabrics and is eminently suited to a bride
of stately appearance or one not In the
first flush of youth. For girl In the
early twenties there are few materials
prettier than soft silk or crepe de chine,
while for one who has scarcely passed
the period Of short skirts and school
books the filmiest of fabrics should be
chosen, such transparencies as net and
chiffon being the favorites.
Lace wedding Dresses.
II there be in the family Of the bride
quantity of costly old lace In the form
of founcings, rulings shawls and ber-
thas, the question of the wedding dress
is easily settled, for any clever modiste
can blend such trimmings In a manner
calculated to make an amazing show at
the minimum outlay of money. Some
times such lace heirooms are mounted
upon satin or silk, but they are most at
tractiye over Brussels or chiffon, and
really go further when so used, as they
may easily be pieced out with bits Of
modern lace--thanks to the fancy now
in vogue of using weayes of several sorts
on one garment. Thus, while the hounces
and bertha, or shawl-veil, may be of rose
point, duchess or d'Alencon, the sleeves
may be of point applique, princesse or
even of yalenciennes.
Princesse and Directoire Robes.
OF all the types of bridal gowns none
are more effective than the exceedingly
simple princesse models developed from
modern lace robes or from heavy satin,
In which event the fronts are eiabo-
rately hand embroidered with self-color
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-04

| silk or silver thread. Such gowns are Ger
| tain to be good style for several years to
come. At the moment, however, they are
| scarcely so ultra as are those made up on
clinging and yet flowing Directoire
lines, which, by the way, demand most
careful treatment, especially in the ar
rangement of whatever lace is employ ed
in their garnishing. For instance, If the
family treasure trunk yields wide lace
houncings, they must be used to simulate
an underskirt over which falls a satin or
silk tunic, while the bertha ordinarily
arranged to drape the shoulders must be
festooned across the front of the bodice
SO that the ends shall furnish caps for
the long sleeves of satin, silk or net.
Court or Medieval Trains.
Where a bride is Of stately figure or
has sufficient dignity of bearing to carry
I shoulder train, she should have one
by all means, as it lends immeasurably
to the picturesque effect of a wedding
procession as It proceeds slowly down the
aisle of church. The square court train
should lie at least yard upon the floor
and fall straight from the shoulders; but
to some figures the medieval, pointed
train is more becoming, as 1t aids much
In producing an effect of slenderness. Be-
cause gown lis of lace or chiffon the
picture train need not be eschewed, for as
1t is merely temporary accessory for
any wedding costume and rarely used
second time, 1t may accompany a gown
: of the filmiest type, although the train
itself must. Of course, be of heavy satin
or corded silk; for this purpose Ottoman,
which has SO recently been revived. is
best of all.
Arranging the Veil.
Too much care cannot be devoted to
the arrangement OF the bridal veil,
whether it be wholly of lace, of plain
net with a point or duchesse border or
of tulle. If the BRIDES face be long and
thin, she obviously cannot wear a veil

Paragraphs.

Very pretty negligees Of kimono
shape are developed of black or white
coin-spotted foulard ?, silk, with border
bands OF light blue. emerald green or
cerise taffeta, or of wide ribbon divided
through the center, the cut edge run on
to the edge Of the garment and then
turned backward, SO that the selvage edge
will supply a finishing on the upper side.
When these negligees are intended solely
for use in sleeping cars they are provided
with deep attached hoods to be drawn
over the head when going to and from
the dressing-room, and with small bags
about the size OF those carried to the
theater, which are designed to hold the
purse and any other valuables or small
size
For eariy autpmn use there is moth
Ing that will prove more serviceable than
simple cape of broadcloth or serge. Inc
smartest Of these are In white, cut very
long and wide, similar to an American
Army oticer's cape, and finished all round
with broad tailored hem. There Is no
lining, but the practical hood is faced
with white liberty satin and scarf OF
the same material, which knots at the
throat, has fringed ends of white silk or
gold bullion. Similar capes In black or
indigo blue have hoods lined with cherry
eolored satin and gold clasps at the throat,
When the hood is omitted, as is some'l
times the case, there Is high turnover
collar OF the material, gold embroidered
and Joining with bullion braid straps and
buttons.
