Women are always interested II bridal
trousseau. whether with real lace and
cabochons of costly gems. or to be
planned along economical lines. In fact.
the average woman, even when il is not
a case of necessity, is more interested
in the latter, because she looks upon
too elaborate an expenditure of money on
clothes as a vulgar love of display that
is not to be gratified. She believes that
she can get much more pleasure and COM
fort out of any superfiuous money she
may have by using it for other things.
Looking at il from a practical point of
view, an overstccked trousseau is not
a wise investment To have a few good
looking clothes that are sufficient for
all occasions is all that is required. and
it is much more satisfactory to get new
ones later on than TO have old dresses
remOdeled.
This bridal trousseau. two dresses OF

four weeks. is carefully planned TO cover
all the requirements of the average bride.
1t arranges for suitable clothes for all
occasions. and the styles selected are
all new designs that will be in fashion
for some months to come. The materials
suggested are the newest weaves. and the
price given is that for which a nice
quality of the goods may be had.
The designs are such that they may
be carried out at home even by one who

GoinE-Away Frock In simple Design
The going-away frock or travelling cos
tune is quite as simple and easy to
make as the wedding gown. The mys-
teries and terrors that surrounded the
making of a coat few seasons back
need not be taken into consideration when
planning the up-to-date suit. We will
tell you a little secret right here. and
that is that the fashionable coatees, or.
as the French call them. throws" are
really much more effective when made
at home than when turned out by a
tailor. The reason for this is very evident
when one considers the styles and knows
that to get the best results everything
must have the appearance OF hanging
from, and fitting. the form. The home
sewer is much more likely to get this
effect than tine tailor, whose training has
always been to fit the form. Another
thing that should encourage the amateur
is the fact that the styles are SO simple,
and that the most fashionably cut coats
are in one piece, without seams at the
shoulders.
The costume in question is to be of
dark blue serge with white taneta collar
and cuffs. The skirt is cut from single
piece of cloth hfty-four lnches Wiue' ana
draped and finished in the same way as
the skirt of the wedding gown. The short,
circular skirt is also cut from a single
niece of goods. and finished with a hem

upper skirt joins the belt to which the
underskirt is attached. and is finished at
the waist with a straight, wide belt of
the goods or with a soft girdle Of silk.
The coat is also in one piece, with at
tached collar and cuffs faced with white
taffeta.

Of l.z0J. while the news from the

day. August 81. when the headlines
read Casualties 5000" and photo
