MUST NOT Be BUNCHY
Fuliness Said to Destroy Style Of the
Bride.
WIRE FORM UTILIZED LIKE "RAT"
Brides of 1909 Must n Better Look
Ing, for ''ven f. Not worn over
Face So Much as II
was.o


Although the wedding ven and its drap-
ing depend or should depend entirely upon
the general contour Of the brides face,
how h wears her hair and how she
carries her head, there is one detail from
which this seasons fashion does not de-
part. All possible fullness or bunchIness
must be eliminated from that portion that
rests upon the hair and about the head.
This fullness that 30 frequently destroys
the style OF the bride, Is eliminated by cut
ting the veil or reducing the surplus by
means OF a fine run Of tucks, which will
bring the fullness Of the fall just exactly
where 1t is wanted and still do away with
the bulk. Beyond the tucks the fullness
is shirred to q wire frame. To this frame
the wreath or other ornament may be Sc
cured and II II is wire. it may easily be
bent to fit the head. It Is easily and Sc
curely adjusted and admits Of a long
graceful fall Of the folds of tulle that
blend with those of the train. All the full
ness Is preferably kept back OF the ears.
This falls straight to the hips and there
the increased fullness spreads in a soft
mist that blends and is lost In the folds Of
the train.
The veil is not worn over the face as
much as it was and for the sole reason
that It can not be disposed of as easily
or as gracefully after the ceremony is
over and it is supposed to be put back.
There is a pretty little custom descendant
from an old tradition. that a four-leaf
clover shall be put into the wreath that
s~urhlounts the bridal veil, but 1t must be
completely hidden. The bridal wreath Is
never a conspicuous feature of the head
covering. 1t is rather one Of the delicate
details, that while one Of the most essen
tial parts must seemingly be but one Of
the touches. Orange blossoms are the time
IGNORED flower for this purpose, but lilies
of the valley. sweet peas, and others OF
the smaller, waxey blossoms are counted
just as good and are just as popular. Many
brides do not wear the wreath at all
some jeweled piece.
Wells for the bridesmaids are coming
more and more into favor, but they are
quite different from the veil worn by the
bride. They are never worn over the face
and are always short, falling scarcely to
the waist line. They may be made Of lace
or tulle and are always surmounted by a
wreath of flowers, a ooronet of ribbon or
Of jewels or something else to give the
effect of a crown. The headpiece for the
maids veil may be worked out in endless
variety consistent with the other details.
Often a twist of ribbon, a few buds or an
aisretto afford the trimming for the head
and from this the veil falls to the back,
entirely back Of the ears.
Several eastern milliners are making a
speciality this season Of providing the al
ready draped veil. OF course 1t must be
draped or adjusted when the order is
taken, but after that The bride and the
maids need have no further care or thought
for It. II will be ready and quite right
wheu the time comes for putting 1t on
tho head. 1t is not absolutely necessary
that it be hung or adjusted even at first.
