FadS and Fashions

New York, May 3O.,-June is here
again the month for weddings, and
which is thought by many to be the
nrettiest time of the year. The styles
in bridal gowns have not changed
much of any since the April weddings
Satin Of soft supple variety called satin
ondovont or satin antique is still
chosen by this years bride. There are
some exceptions, however, for one most
exquisite wedding gown was MADE OF
heavy satin in plain, almost severe
lines. but it depended entirely upon
some very costly lace as its adorn-
ment. A perfect model for bridal
gown was seen in white satin ondoyant
and embroidered in white floss. 1t was
cut in princess style, semi-htting TO
give the hipless effect and it seemed
to hang from the shoulders where were
bretelle executions outlined with seed
pearls The deep yolk was of pr1n-
cess fIet lace and was edged with
hand Of embroidered satin. The under
bodice and sleeves were of embroidered
white chiffon. The stock collar of
medium height was bound with satin
The train was cut in a separate sec
ton which fell gracefully from the
was made of fine white Brussels net
cut in Empire style and handsomely
embroidered in floss silk and silver. 1t
was worn over fitted princess slip or
white messaline. A wide bertha of en-
brofdered net extended over the shout
ders and formed a vatican train in
the back. There are numerous ar
rangements of a bridal veil and this
year the most artistic effects are
shown. Lace wells are magnificent but
\ 90 for he
cause they are so heavy. Brussels APP
plique covered with embroidered dots
is the favorite lace for these wells
Fine tulle sometimes edged with
beautiful lace makes a very attractive
veil. 1t is caught in chou with
| orange blossoms and is fastened just at
the left side of the couture while
wreath of a half-wheath of the bios
some is placed on the tulle. In most
Instances the flowers are caught to the
veil instead of the hair, but at the
same time they are arranged to fall
over the pompadour.
This year there are so many elab-
crate lingerie, silk and semi transpar-
ent gowns to be worn that a separate
coat must be had to wear with them
when a wrap Is needed. There are
coats of lace and of embroidery and
Il
a combination of two or more kinds
of lace Very attractive are the ones
of coarse-meshed net appliqued with
taffeta or soutache in a Greek key de-
sign and bordered with heavy lace
The half-length coats for afternoon,
carriage and evening use, are made of
heavy lace such as Venise, Irish and
italian. They are seen in loose Empire
lines with flowing elbow sleeves in
one with the coat. Some borders of
medallions in allowed embroidered
linen with the scalloped edges falling
over accordian plated chiffon cordage
loops and cabachons.
The thin fabrics for summer are be-
witchingly pretty. Stripes are al
ways attractive and some are two toned
while others are plain delicate hair
line on a white ground. There are
muslins of pink, blue or lavendar and
white stripes perhaps eighth of an
| inch wide and those with black hair
lines or blue and brown combined.
Figures and circles are equally as
| charming, the latter sometimes form
ing a border in graduated sizes. One
