round about looks to her to represent

Whatever she wears will be comment
ed upon and-if she is known to pat

cepted as typical of the best in current
modes.
And as to spending, the autumn
bride Of this year may go far-lf she
has a generous check account for her
rousseau and a taste for expensive
things. The new costumes are built
Of costly stutfs, though styles are
simple enough in themselves. Vel
vets there are, for her delectation,
and soft silks, satins and brocadcs,
tulle and chiffon by the bolt for the
airy drapiug and rufiiing of dance
frOcks, sequined nets, pailleted
bodiCes, Jet anH rhinestone trimmings.
Ostrich plumes, there are for her
headsear-and in a season Of ostrich
feathers the price of hats mounts high.
BroadClOths and silky gabardIues,
there are for the street suit, with
quantities Of fur for trimming-ko-
linsky, dyed fox, beaver, sable and
ether expensive pelts which must be
purchased in ten-yard strips to edge

Luxurious Boudoir Wear An Item.
Several hundred dollars may be
spent in no time at all, when the bride
sets out to buy her lingerie and negli-
gees. This fascinating business may
be accomplished in a single day, if
one buys at the shops-and few brides
make their own lingerie now; hand
fashioned garments on lovely lines and
built of finest fabrics, may be picked
up anywhere in the speciality shops
which supply exclusive lingerie, and
it is really remarkable how little these
handmade things cost. Indeed,
rcady-made trousseauX are growing
more and more popular and a great
many brides who live out of town,
come to the metropolis for a week or
ten days, supplying the whole trous-
seau in that brief time. All that is
needed to make such trousseau-buying
the easiest thing Imaginable, is an
unlimited check account, t]ireless
energy and a taxi in which to fly about
town and fill with packages. Special
messengers will be dispatched from
the shops to ones hotel, with big boxes
containing gowns, wraps and hats "on
APPRECIATION" A corps of filters will
be set at work to make alterations
inc deliver everything while the bride
to-be is in town; and there is no rea-
son why a complete trousseau, costing
a thousand dollars, should not be
bought and expressed home in ever 4
week, provided one has the aforesaid
tireless energy and equally t~ireless
taxi.
A wedding gown, perfect in It's every
detail-a wedding gown, indeed from
Paris-which has been purchased all
ready to wear on a certain day in Oc-
tober, is pictured herewith. Could any
made-to-order bridal costume be more
beautiful or more distinguished thar
this exquisite gown of crystal-beaded
satin and Mechlin lace? Few dress
makers not in the supreme class of
high - priced eXc%lusiveness could
achieve such a gown as this, yet 1t
was purchased "ready-to-wear" in a
shop that supplied also the brides veil,
orange blossom C%oronet, satin slippers
and embroidered silk hosiery.
There are several striking features
about this bridal gown; the rather
for one; the diminutive train for an
other; and the long-waisted basque
above a gathered o%verdress Of lace.
This lace overdress Is gathered full
above white satin and beneath the lace
are bands Of white velvet, caught to
the lace by hexagonal figures worked
on the lace with tiny crystal beads.
The bodice Is of crystal beaded net
showing an elaborate design at the
front, and this heavy, beaded cuirass
is dropped over a second bodice Of lace
to which are attached the long, bishop
sleeves which have cuffs OF white vel
vet. An appliqued motif Of velvet in
hexagonal shape and outlined with
crystal beads Is set at each side of
the beaded c]uirass, over the hip, re-
peating the trimming idea on the lace
skirt. The short, square train and
foot of the satin underskirt are I'm
%broidered with crystal beads.
Wells That Show The Hair.
The wedding veil no longer hides
the brides bushes. A modern bride
is not supposed to blush and cast down
her eyes. She goes to meet her BRIDE
groom with lifted head and proud,
sweet, fearless gaze; and the modern
wedding veil typihes this absence of
affectstion in the new woman: II
sweeps back from her lifted head to
mingle in regal folds with her bridal
robes. The veil pictured. is arranged
In a little pun behind the hair which
is knotted low, and the wreath of
orange blossoms rests low on the fore
head In girlish fashion. Long sleeves
are always most distinguished with a
wedding dress and the decolletage
should be modest. a single handsome
brooch, usually the bridegroom's GIFT,
clasping its laces.
