skirt, showing a pointed front and the
high wateau back. ending In a long
train. There was more than a sugges-
ton OF panier in the high drapery about
the hips which lost itself in the back.

ton. with draped corsage opening over
a deep ''V'' of tuIle, matching the half
length tulle sleeves, all of which was
most becoming to the slender young
figure Of the wearer. The bridal veil was

peas, shaded from the all-white to
