rails for this all important costume.
Chiffon finished MORE, silk cashmere and
Ninon muslin are other fashionable mate
rials used for the purpose
At what perhaps was the smartest
wedding of he season, that OF Miss
Marjorie Gould, eldest daughter of
George Gould TO Anthony Drexel OF
Philadelphia, the bride wore a marvel
lous creation of white satin chaTmeuse
made with train FIVE yards long, fasten-
ed to the shoulders in box pleat. The
gown was made with a square dutch
neck and had tunic of chiffon embroid
cred with orange blossoms. Very wide
Duchesse lace was draped across the
bodice and down the left side of the front
to the hem and then carried around the
skirt
The bridesmaids at this wedding look
ed as if they had just stepped out of the
Madeline or some of the other fashion
able churches in Paris, for nothing more
chic than their costumes has been seen
here for long time. Their gowns OF
blue satin were made with scant skirts
clearing the floor by three inches. There
were overdresses of pink chiffon, extend
ing to just below the knees where they
were caught up in the new puff effect and
banded by natter blue ribbon sashes tied
in the back. The waists were cut with
the body and sleeves In one, and trimmed
with handsome lace and then yelled in
pink chiffon. These costumes were COM
pleted by boots of natter blue satin and
huge turbans of blue straw, yelled with
pink tulle and trimmed with a pink
ostrich tip at the left side near the back.
The fashionable bride this season wears
a veil of lace, tulle or some of the new
nets that have been brought out for the
purpose. Very beautiful wells are made
of dotted net with a rose point or
Duchesse edge. When the veil is worn
over the face it is rather short in the
front but hangs well down over the train
in the back. 1t is draped in rather broad
effect on the head and may be arranged
with sprays of orange blossoms in
broad cap effect or brought down in a
point over the forehead in what is called
the Marie Antoinette style. Still an
other method of draping is fashionable,
to bunch the veil into a sort of rosette
effect on each side of the head.
The fashionable bride of today
purchases fewer gowns for her trousseau
than did the maiden of 10 or IS years
ago. This is not because she is ecOnOmi-
cal, oh dear no, but because the style
changes so rapidly that she buys only
enough for the present season. Quality
not quantity is what is desired for this
years trousseau. The prospective
bride may order but FIVE or six new
frocks but each of these will be as hand
some as her purse, or m ore often her
fathers, will allow. And the same
thing is true of her underwear, it is the
very acme of dainty fneness, but she
orders this by the half dozen where her
predecessor had dozens. Up-to-date
women who like dainty embroidered in
itials and monograms on their lingerie
and household linens are using the Refs
"Stitchon' and formulation" letters to
be had at any good embroidery depart
ment or store. These save time and look
as if done by an expert embroiderer
though anyone who can use a needle
can easily sew them on.
Almost every trousseau of a maiden
who is at all we'll to do contains chiffon
wrap or coat of some sort as an accom-
