For the Disqualification Of virgin
simplicity one had but to look at the
girlish bride. She wore no long, white
satin skirt, so fashionable a decade
ago. Gone was the heavy and stately
traint The gown was of tulle, caught
at the waist in front with a group
of six organ pleats. An Algerian
Jacket of embroidered chiffon, with
long sleeves and graceful drapery, was
fastened below the bust with a gar

cred tulle was caught behind to a
jeweled bandeauX on the head, thus
leaving the face exposed. A shower
bouquet of lilies of the valley com

The very latest and smartest mode
Of making a dresSy skirt is to have
one made with a pannier. There are
several lengths given to these some
longer, some shorter. Taffeta, chif-
fOn cloth and embroidered scrim are
all appropriate materials for dresses
with this type Of skirt. The panniers
are draped with considerable fulness
at the hips, in order that the puffed
effect may be obtained The hem is
drawn into the figure sharply. and
the line of the waist is accumulated
by a wide girdle Of satin or velvet rib
bon, into which is tucked a vivid bunch
of flowers
Besides being pretty and graceful,
this style conforms well with the IN
to date sllhouet which we are affect
ing, and which shows no Indication
of changing.
Many new skirt waists are being
shown in the shops. The favorite one
seems to be of white chiffon cloth, a
transparent fabric considerably heavier
than chiffon but with its soft and
qualities. The waist is made
large and blOusy, and the fitness at
the neck is gathered Upon a large silk
cord, which ties loosely in the front
