| THE AUTUMN BRIDE
September and October are as
much the wedding months as the
first one OF summer Many brides
prefer the autumn for then their
pretty trouseaus Is prepared for the
long winter.
The girl who is looking forward to
her marriage day this autumn and
is planning her wedding gown will
choose one of three materials. She
will either wear white satin, white
charmeuse, or, II her tastes be sim
pie. soft white mousseIine. No fab
ric 10 more charming for a girlish
wedding dress than dainty clinging
soft null But whether her gown ia
OF rich ivory satin, the modish silk
or the delicate muslin, two things
II must be. 1t must be high necked
and long sleeves and have q train.
Convention long. long ago, declared
that the modest bride must 60 to the
nuptial rail in high-necKed gown
and Madame Grundy has never
changed this dictate.
But no matter how acmureiy the
bride approaches the chancel rail,
she no longer -eonceals her girlish
beauty behind q VEIL Wells are still
worn, but after the mode OF the wo-
man who are presented at the Court
of ST. James. A handsome head
dress OF flowers holds the wells In
place. II completely covers the bride
In back and falls to the tip OF her
train.
A charming costume that will be
worn by a bride In October Is of
iyory-colored silk. 1t has a long,
full train that stretches two yards
on the floor. Though the train u
full. the front Of the gown is scant
and closefitting.
The bodice proper Is completely
tucked chiffon.
The bodice proper In completely
covered with hand-wrought lace.
This is put on In the form of a sur
plice.
The tulle veil comes from a gar
land OF orange blossoms and the
same. significant flowers decorate the
long train. In her hand this bride
carries hugh bouquet OF white Or
chsds and lilies-o-the-valley
THE COLOR SCHEME OF BEAUTY
This Is the time Of the year when
every woman who is interested In
clothes--and what woman he not7--
Is considering the overhauiing OF her
wardrobe and the purchase of an
autumn outfit. Summer gowns with
the advent OF autumn gives one a
shabby appearance. no matter how
fresh the costumes may be. for they
are incongruous with the season. and
look decidedly out OF place,
In replacing ones supply Of gowns
II is well to look over ones stock

able for further use. and what must
be discarded. And. incidentally, II
Is well In looking over pssse gowns
TO profit by the mistakes made In
previous purchases. A frock which
was unbecoming In cut or color. and
has been little worn because Of these
two disnguring facts. is not thrown
away In reality. for 1t should serve
a. warning against future mis-
takes.
OF course. the backbone Of the
autumn OUTFIT is the street suit, and
It's selection should be attended with
great care To make q mistake in
this costume. which Is worn by the
average wuman 10 Eerater extent
than any other In her wardrobe. Is
something OF a calamity. The wo-
man who Is wise and who wishes TO
be well dressed as we'll. makes her
desision only after she has expend-
ed some time and more thought
upon It's selection.

hair and eyes. she cannot do better
than 10 have her suit In one of the
smart blues which have made their
appearance In the shops this season.
There Is a rumor anoat that blue is
