IL f~r,Sz Of a
May bride. 1t was made of a very

skirt. clearing the floor by four inches
was closed up as far as the knees
with small serge covered buttons edged
with bone and real buttonholes. From
that point up the robe closed invisibly
with hooks.
1t had no girdle but a sort of har.
row corselet of the serge, cut in small
battlements at both the top and the
bottom, was stitched on joining the
skirt and the top and making them
one garment. The serge battlements
were stitched three times each. and
this corselet effect was scanned to tit it
closely to the figure. The top was cut
out in a point in both the back and the
front and closed with real buttOnholes
and buttons to match the bottom of
the skirt to the corselet top, the cOrselet
itself closing with four large buttons,
after first being hooked underneath on
extension pieces of the lining.
Over each shoulder went two small
Gibson pIaits that by their release in
the front gave sufficient spring over
the bust. In the back the plaitS were
stitched in down to the corSelet.
The sleeves were scant coat sleeves
of the serge that came to the wrists
and closed up the back from the wrists
nearly to the elbows with buttons and
buttonholes. The finish at the bottom
and also around the neck were two
inch shaped bands of heavy black satin
braided in fine blue sOutache.

were of filet net in cream color. with
wide flet edging shaped to the neck
and boned, another OF heavy Irish

gathered just below the elbows into
turned back. slightly faring cuffs
three inches deep of satin and serge
braided to match the collar.
The body of the coat closed down the
center back with serge covered but
tons at the girdle, and the skirts were
left unfastened. The smooth fitted
skirts came nearly to the knees and
were finished with a plain hem
The body of the blouse was gathered
a little each side of the center front
and in the center back and joined
smoothly to the skirts
The separate belt was of black patent

front, and this front tapered down and
