probably buy ready made If you shop well.
 If you are handy with your needle, and even if you are not. there are many ways you can help the seam stress to make your own rousseau. One girl who really knows very little about the various stitches made for herself recently. without any cut pat tern two little voiIe dresses, which for charm might have been made by the finest modiste in town.
 One was a delicate blue, caught up in painters about the hips, with a frilly fichu and cuffs of ecru net and lace, a wide satin girdle of blue and 9 pink gardenia at the side. Perhaps the chief charm in both frocks was the delicacy of their colors, for both were unusual pastel shades, one the blue already de- scribed, the other pink. The blue gown cost this girl just $S.1o, the pink $2.50, including everything, from the stiff belting inside to the flower adornment.
 Now, two such frocks as these will be charming if you are going for your honeymoon where the weather is warm. Your wedding dress depends on your own taste, but soft, clinging white chiffon is prettiest. It would be advisable to have it made so that you can use it for best evening gown aft erward. Twenty-Five dollars ought to cover the cost of materials for tulle veil and the dress if you have it made at home. The $5.50 for the two little voiIe dresses makes the sum now spent $30.5o.
 Your going away suit ought not to cost you more than $25 ready made.

1fur r1oda Bride No Longer to k b n
 Crown and

drapery of one kind or another is the usual thing, a high veil drapery being seldom seen, though during the winter several brides wore their wells plaited in fan shape at top and standing up rather after the fashion of a Spanish court in fan shape across the top of the back.
 In her pleasantest dreams every maiden sees herself beautifully array ed in the .proverbia1 satin wedding gown, with the equally proverbial lace veil charmingly draped to conceal the head and to ornament the back of the gown, but when the time arrives for her to wear such wonderful raiment she is at a loss to make a choice, so much variety is there in both veils and gowns. In both of them the styles and customs of different nations have been introduced with success.
 Some of these Veils are reminiscent of medieval days and are very easy to arrange. One lace veil gives a sugges- ton for using the one grandmother wore. A band of tulle is bound around the head in fashion similar to nun 8 coif. Over this the lace is draped to form point in front and then to fall gracefully down the back. Although the lace must be securely caught to the tuI1e, avoid too many stitches, for they are apt to result in stiffness. F Another quaint affair is fashioned of tnlle or net. A piece of the material sufficiently large to cover the head can be used like a cap. Shirr the material to fit the head and into the casing slip elastic. The headdress can then be easily slipped on. Over the line of shirring at the back and a little to the sides the tuI1e can be caught. At either side demure bunch of orange blossoms will prove effective. If de- sired the cap and veil can be fashioned from one piece of tulle. You will find then, however, that when the veil falls down the back it will hang in many points. If there is objection to this the many points can be cut off and the tulle fall in one graceful line, each side being picoted.
 The artists have not forgotten the brides mother in designing the we'd

GENERALLY speaking. when a wo-
 man goes with man to dinner at a restaurant she does nothing about the ordering. She is a guest in the same sense as she would be in a pri- vate house, and the presence of a long list of dishes printed does not entitle her to make a choice unless her wishes are asked. In that case the request is taken literally, and she may suggest one dish, more, unless by express desire of her companion.
 It is not good form for a woman to pick up the menu and read it, although one will probably at once be put before her by the waiter. Her reading of it would be taken by her compan- ion as hint that she wishes to choose part, if not all, of the meal. When she is asked to do so. of course, she reads the menu first.
 The woman, even when her opinion is consulted, does not give an order directly to the waiter. She tells her host what she prefers, and he instructs the waiter.
 It is still mooted question as to whether a woman should precede or follow a man into a restaurant.

Checks and Stripes

STRRED tafetas of every 1magi- ~ nab1e sort-one tone, two tone, many tone. regular. irregular, satin and taffeta, chiffon and taffeta, flow cred and plain-are offered in all the modish colors. and checked effects, even huge p1aids in wonderfully har- montzed colorings follow at a distance.
 In woolen stuffS checks are particu- 1arly emphasized, and the sheer stuffs show a good many crossbars and check designs.
 Some of the simpler striped silks are made up into unpretentiouS little frocks that have, a decided air of smartness in spite of their simplicity and that would be very useful in a summer wardrobe. A dark blue and biscuit stripe, for example, in satin and taffeta. was used, with no trim

In another bottle have some benzoin. This should be used to soften the water in the train dressing room and a little of the benzoin on a bit of absorbent cotton, diluted. in the proportions of half cupful of water to a teaspoonz full of benzoin, can be patted and rub bed directly on the face.
 Some good toilet water may be in the other bottle, as this is very stinnu- lating and cleansing to the skin.
 In little cotton bag have a plentiful supply of bits of absorbent cotton, with which various washes and creams may be applied to the face.
 Some good lotion for the hands might be put in the third bottle.l instead of the cologne, of which alcohol may be made to take the place.
 A tube or jar of good cold cream is admirable to help take off the dirt. First rinse the face, if possible, with clear water. Pat half dry and then rub the cold cream into it thoroughly. Then rub off the cold cream and wash with the benzoin and water, applied with a. puff of cotton.
 Be sure to carry a small smelling salts bottle filled with some strong and pungent salts.

~ HE June brides will take on
 strange and unfamiliar as-
 poets. Some there still are, slender and tall and, for all the ful1ness of their robes, preserving more or less of the traditional lily like air, but the modern bride. is not altogether satisfied with the old pose.
 She still wants to be slender if heaven will grant her the boon, but she doesn't care at all about having her wedding gown accentuate her length and slenderness. She is more concern ed about looking chic than about look ing HlyIike. And so if she happens to be of the increasing class to whom tra- dition is an empty word she plans her wedding gown and her bridesmaids frocbs on ipiquant lines
 The thing is easily accomplished this season, and the picture wedding can be staged in any number of effective ways. It is a callous way to talk of we'd ding, of course, but how can one re- gard an elaborate modern wedding from any save a scenic point of view? The first short full wedding gowns two years ago created a sensation. A bride must choose something much more extraordinary to create sensa- ton now. People have become used to short wedding gowns and curious veil arrangements, and, though such things are even now the exception rather than the rule, one smiles indu1gently upon them.
 Many of the conventional bridal gowns this spring depart from con- VentiOn enough to substitute white tu1le for the traditional white satin. so that the gown, though not short nor crinolined, is a cloud of vaporous folds and gives the impression of great full ness without it's broad silhouette. With such a frock there is perhaps a satin train which the long veil of net and lace softens. or perhaps only the veil of lace.
 The arrangement of the veil is often the crux of the toilet, and the modern bride in her eagerness for originality frequently loses the charm that a. be- coming1y draped veil can give. Cap

band on the skirt bottom formed of overlapping dark blue strips. The handling of the stripes did the rest, and the rest' was very satifactory.
 Striped models, from the hands of American designers, also often fail be- cause the designer has juggled with the stripes too energetically. The re- suit is cut up, suggests a crazy quilt or a picture puzzle, cuts the figure where it should not cut it, accentuates a line where it should not accentuate 1t, but handled skillfuIly the stripe has excellent possibilities even in the most inexpensive materials.
 The wide, regular stripes in gay color and white are shown in almost every material, from the cheapest Of muslins to the most costly of silks.

About Geranil1t1ls

MANY people save their geranium plants from season to season by storing them in the cellar or attic This is a good scheme, but to get all possible good out of such an operation it is necessary to handle the plants properly. Under no conditions should the old plants be put into the ground just as they were taken out.
 The professional gardener saves his old plants for stock-that is, he makes cuttings from them. With a sharp knife he chops the stalks into short pieces, being careful to make each cut at one of the joints or ridges. These short sections of stalk are stuck in sand which he keeps moist The sand boxes are about three inches deep, and the cuttings are put in close, packed in. Seventy-flve per cent of these will make root in a few weeks. These he pots and grows for his spring trade.
 The amateur can do the same thing. If you have saved any geraniums cut them up as soon as possible and put them in sand. When they have rooted put each one in ''thumb'' pot. and when the weather becomes fine put them out of doors under a sash and later put them into a larger pot, a three and one-half inch one.
 This may seem like a lot of bother. with little time left to do it ins but keep this in m1nd-you cannot put plants out in your flower beds too early, so that if you start making your geraniums now you will have good sized plants by June.
 Again, don't put your plants out the same as you took them up in the fall. If you do not make new plants from them, at least cut them down. Cut each branch to within four inches of the roots.. If you do this to the old plants and then pot them for month or six weeks you will have a nice stock by bedding out time. These plants will give you an abundance of flowers from the fact that they have large roots that can supply nourtshment.
 Keep this in rnind-geranium flow CTS, to be right, should be at least i've inches in diameter. and you can grow them to this size if you do as suggest ed above.

gether at shoulder, waist and hip With baby ribbon, tied through embroidered eyelets. The edges and neck opening are finished with hemstitched hems, and the neck opening reaches to the waist line at front and back. Around the high waist line are two rows o1 corded shirring.
 There are many nfghtgoWns Of washable satin and pussy willow silk in pastel tints or in white. These show hemstitching, featherstitching and em- brotdered motifs in wreath or medal lion effect rather than lace. In fact, the rule seems to be as much lace as possible on the peignoir. but the robe de nuit as simple as possible.
 All the more exclusive undergarments are fashioned by hand. Machine stitching is not tolerated. Since it is no longer necessary to wear sheath dt- ting underclothes, so that tight skirts may not show wrinkles, women are go- ing back with delight to the more at tpactive frilly styles. Short petticoats are coming in again, and the drawers are no longer gathered in at the knee in culotte fashion, but have a circular flare, with inserts and friIIs of lace. Old fashioned outings of organdie, net or batiste are also used in attenuation with lace insertions. very pretty com bination has alternate puffing of ena- broidered net and bands of pale blue batiste.
 Brides bouquets are things of love- 1iness this season. Heather and white roses, lilies of the valley, with their own sheathing leaves, and white sweet peas, with maidenhair ferns, festoon- ed with narrow white satin or gauge ribbon, are all faVorites.
 The charming bride pictured wears an outfit consisting of a val edged net veil shirred into a wreath of lilies of the valley, forming a coronet head piece. The gown is of white liberty satin. featuring a short full skirt with front panel and elaborate court train of princess lace bordered with rich pearl embroidery. The neck is quite low, while the sleeves are the new bell shape, dropping to the wrists. She carries a white satin prayer book.

than $2o), which brings the sum spent up to ,$75.50. Some very smart trim med hats were seen recently at $3 and $4 each, and at a recent shoe sale five dollar shoes were being sold at S1.75. Out of the remaining $14 or $15 you must pay the dressmaxer for the three or four days necessary to make your wedding dress and evening froclz, all though you can buy the latter ready made for the price mentioned if you prefer, and you must buy enough nain- sock to make your lingerie.
 By careful spending you should be able to have a fairly attractive trous- seau for your $1OO.

Of course it depends on your own taste but it seems best to buy a three piece suit if possible. In the first place, it will save the expense of buying a cou- pie of extra waists; in the second, it will save the cost of waist laundry, which may prove very expensive on a trip, and then it will make an extra dress for day wear. If you prefer hav- ing a coat and skirt suit buy dark georgette crape waists. which will not need to be laundered.
 You will need an evening gown for informal affairs (your wedding gown will serve for big parties, and this evening gown should not cost you more

Etiquette of the Restaurant

Abroad the man takes the lead. and the custom is growing in favor here. He then has an opportunity to see the table selected by the head waiter and if he does not like it to say so.
 A woman makes a point always in restaurants of not seeing the check when it is brought by the waiter and while the man is paying the bill.
