A wedding gown, perfect in its every
detail--a wedding gown, indeed from
Paris-which has been purchased all
ready to wear on a certain day in Oc-

made-to-order bridal costume be more
beautiful or more distinguished than

and embroidered silk hosiery.
There are several striking features
about this bridal gown; the rather
short skirt which shows the slipper,
for one; the diminutive train for an
other; and the long-waisted basque
above a gathered overdress Of lace.
This lace overdress is gathered full

are bands OF white velvet, caught to

on the lace with tiny crystal beads.
The bodice is Of crystal beaded net

front, and this heavy beaded cuirass

skirt. The short, square train and

is not supposed to blush and cast down
her eyes. She goes to meet her BRIDE
groom with lifted head and proud.
