display a vest OF lace. and while the ef-
feet was very simple. it was 80 attractive
that it called forth many admirng com
ments.
The fad for sleeves of a separate ma
terial gives the proper authority for the
long chiffon sleeves in waists Of silk or
of lace. These sleeves fall over the hand
and are finished with a frill OF lace. FL
bow sleeves. however. are seen quite as
often as the long ones. and are GER
tainly more comfortable on the aver
age June day. The long, flowing lines OF
the angel sleeves are particularly de-
sirable, and should be carefully studied
by the bride who is seeking long lines.
GIRDLES AND SASHES.
Girdles and sashes are important
features Of the wedding gown. They may
be swathings of chiffon. drapings Of silk
| in the style of the Orient. or folds OF
the dress material encircling the waist
| loosely TO give the large, thick effect
now so fashionable. Bows appear 10 be
! a newer finish for these girdles than the
| long ends. though the latter are too be-
coming 10 be cast aside hastily
| Despite the beauty OF the lace wells
they are not as universally becoming as
those Of tulle. with perhaps an edge OF
| lace The drapng Of the veil should he

! in the sketch and consists Of a broad
! band of tulle wound around the head. A
| rufle of lace edges this band and zip

of-the-valley at either side of the head,
over the ears. attach the veil proper to
the band, making 1t possible to catch
glimpse OF the hair in the back. This
new arrangement may be too novel 10
appeal to every bride and for them there
are the crown style. the fetching little
Dutch cap and the mob cap
BRIDESMAID GOWN.
The picturesque quality Of the smar:
| bridesmaids gowns distinguishes them
from the frocks Of other seasons. Many
are developed in chiffon. net and lace.
| but lovely as these sheer creations can
| be they lack the chic and dash OF the
soft taffeta costumes with overdresses cf
| fine lace some fetching little lace
frocks are made very distinctive by vests
or coatees of brilliantly colored taf-
feta The gown in the sketch can be de-
veloped in either chiffon or taffeta for
the new taffetas are so supple they can
be draped like chiffon. The underskirt
may be Of taffeta or chiffon. and Is
draped 10 the waist line in the front,
making it possible TO see the pink stock
inged ankles and black satin slippers
The box pleated fiounces OF lace are open
in the front and fall in graceful folds to
the sides. The corsage is almost hidden
under the wide lace collar. suggesting
fchu in the front and a deep cape in the
back. A fall OF lace answers as a sleeve.
and the fulness is restrained to GER
tain extent by folds OF taffeta or chin IN
drawn through Sits and tied in a perky
little bow. The sash OF the taffeta eX-
tends from the bow TO the front, where
ii is tied in loose knot with short ends.
BRIDESMAIDS HAT.
While the large picture hats are always
attractive for the bridesmaids hat and
are now smarter than the small hats
there is a piquant appeal in poke bon

For the little flower girls. who are al
ways an effective addition TO the bridal
party. there is nothing nicer than soft

lace. The tot in the sketch has fas-
cinating Kate Greenaway dress OF white
batste embroidered in tiny pale pink
flowers. sThe skirt is pleated. and the
fetching bolero is enhanced with rosettes
