To be sure, one of the we'll known
Paris designers gives us fashions made
in the European war trenches. and
many of the Partisan designers have
reopened their Paris houses. but some
of the prettiest models of the season
have been made by our own fashion
authorities. Such a one is the gown
shown in the illustration Yellow bro
cade, very heavy and rich, was used
as the foundation. A silver petticoat
shows beneath. and the outer skirt is
edged with landings of ostrich.
Ordinarily the skirts have increased
marvelously In circumference during
this past season, but in this case the
coquettish slashes in the skirt detract
somewhat from its width. The bodice
is a unique creation of pastel beads
over an underbodice of fillet lace. 1t is
Joined in the skirt by a girdle of am
Der beads, fastened in the front by
large cabochon. from which depend
long strings of the amber beads to the
bottom of the skirt

would be noticeable at any suitable
function because of the richness of its
material and the uniqueness of its de-
sign.
One bridal bouquet is of white pam
sizes. grown very large and especially
for this purpose, with a lovely large
tulle bow, over which falls a shower
of pansies. and there are pansies caught
at intervals in the floating ends.
The white net used with satin in one
brides gown is heavily embroidered in
silver and forms a good part of the
dress. A long tulle veil is fastened
with wreath Of plated tulle.
Another charming bridal robe is de-
lightful combination of charmeuse and
lace. ANNA MAY.
