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 veils plaited in fan shape at top and standing up rather after the fashion of a Spanish court or in fan shape across the top of the back.
 In her pleasantest dreams every maiden sees herself beautifully array ed in the proverbial 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 wells and gowns. In both of them the styles and customs of different nations have been introduced with success.
 Some of these wells are reminiscent of medieval days and are very easy to arrange. One lace veil gives a sugges- tion for using the one grandmother wore A band of tulle is bound around the head in a fashion similar to a nuns 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 tulle, avoid too many stitches, for they are apt to result in stiffness.
 Another quaint affair is fashioned of tulle or net. A piece of the material sufficiently large to cover the head can be used like 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 tulle can be caught. At either side a 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. .s ,8

 Vice presidential booms wilted by President Wilson's direct word that he desired the renomination of Vice President Marshall, were brought to the convention hall, but only as fav- orite son compliments.

ding retinue. For her Is suggested a figured silk, probably fouhrd of mauve on a gray ground. The trimmings are darker gray velvet ribbon, with sleeves and crossed fchu piece of gray geor- gette crape. Her hat may be a gray rough straw with a high upstanding frill of mauve moire ribbon. Pansies of stiff purple straw flowers border the tilted brin.
 Pink has been so long favored by fashion for boudoir wear that one has almost forgotten pale blue existed. Now negligees and lingerie in pale blue are considered much more exclusive than those in flesh pink-the supreme favorite for two seasons past-and spring trousseaIx riot in blue, the very palest shade. There are combi- nations of pale blue glove silk, corsets of pale blue brocade, nightgoWns and lingerie of pale blue batiste. Pale blue lingerie ribbons are better liked now than rose colored ones. Very attrac- tive summer negligees are of pale blue china silk, with inserts of val lace, and enchanting little sacks are of pale blue chiffon, hand embroidered with forget menots and hand scalloped at the edges. Thee are also dainty sacks made of white washable net. These are usually in two layers, an under sack or sleeveless slip and the outer sack tucked and trimmed with lace. Deep shoulder capes give many of these sacks a fluffy, airy suggestion that is adorable.
 Slowly but surely for the past few seasons the nightgown has been she'd ding it's sleeves, and now it is scarcely more thar a chemise cut to the floor. Sometimes it. is even less than a chemise, is in a new French robe de nuit which is made of two straight breadths of batiste tied together at the shoulders with tnots of ribbon, again at the waist line and again at the hips. Lace borders eAch of the four edges all the way down, and the neck is cut out in deep square, also lace edged. Another Parisisn sleeping garment is of nunlike simplicity, except in the cut. Here are the two breadths again, this time of palest pink batiste, caught to-

QUAINT JUNE BRIDE WEARS A .CORONET WEI

gether at shoulder, waist and hip with baby ribbon, tied through embroidered eyelets. The edges and neck opening are finished with hemstitched hc1 and the neck opening reaches to the waist line at front and back. Around the high waist line are two rows oS corded shirring.
 There are many nightgowns c.e washable satin and pussy willow silk in pastel tints or in white. These sho'w hemstitching, featherstitching and en- broidered motifs in wreath or medai@ lion effect rather than lace. In facE 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 undergarmentc are fashioned by hand. Machine stitching is not tolerated. Since 1t is no longer necessary to wear sheath f1t- ting underclothes, so that tight skirts may not show wrinkles, women are go- ing back with delight to the more att tractive frtlly styles. Short petticost~ 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 frills of lace. ola fashioned outings of organdie, net or batiste are also used in attenuation with lace insertions. A very pretty com- bination has alternate puffing of err- broidered net and bands of pale blus batiste.
 Brides bouquets are things of love- Illness this season. Heather and whit@ 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 white satin prayer book.

THE brides to be, in all classes and
 all variations of wealth, are look ing forward over the intervening weeks with almost a sigh. It leaves so little time, and there is always so much to be done
 The brides rousseau is perhaps the most important thing to be finished up in that time No matter whether she belongs to the ranks of the idle rich or of the hardworking poor, she must have some kind of rousseau.
 The business girl, for instance, who is leaving the ranks of bachelor maids to join the list of matrons, has prob ably just given up her position in order to have the last few weeks free to make all her preparations. She has saved up perhaps S10O from her salary for her wedding wardrobe, and now she must make it go just as far as possible.
 It is to you girls with limited purses that this little talk is addressed. Those of you who must buy your trousseauX on the savings of weeks, perhaps, must not let your money go from you with out getting full value. If you are care full of each five cent piece you will be able to have trousseaux from the we'd ding dress to the going away suit, from hat to shoes, all on the sum of S100, but you must choose carefully and not let a dime get away from you without knowing why.
 For $25 you should be able to have very pretty wedding dress. All things considered, 1t is cheapest and best to have dressmaker come in by the day Tor the time needed to make all your kh1nRS axcent Your suit which you can
New Britain herald., 1916-06-14

probably buy ready made if you shop we'll
 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 voile dresses, which for charm might have been made by the finest modiste in town.
 One was a delicate blue, caught up in panniers about the hips, with frilly fichu and cuffs of ecru net and lace, a wide satin girdle of blue and a pink gardenia at the side. Perhaps the chief 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 s3.10, 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 a 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 s55O for the two little yoile dresses makes the sum now spent s30.50.
 Your going away suit ought not to cost you more than $25 ready made

~ HE June brides will take on
 strange and unfamiliar as-
 poets. Some there still are,
 slender and tall and, for all the fullness 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 lilylike. 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 frocks on piquant 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 a wed- ding, of course, but how can one re- gard an elaborate modern wedding from any save 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 a sensa- tion now. People have become used to short wedding gow-s and curious veil arrangements, and, though such things are even now the exception rather than the rule, one smiles indulgently upon them.
 Many of the conventional bridal gowns this spring depart from con- vention enough to substitute white tulle 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 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- comingly draped veil can give. Cap

ming save the vest of biscuit and the 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 picture puzzle, cuts the figure where it should not cut it, accentuates a line where it should not accentuats it, but handled skillfully 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.

Mir. Bryan May Speak.
 Many democrats familiar with the activities of William J. Bryan in other democratic conventions are not so sure that the former standard bearer of the party will not become active in the present convention. MT. Bryan said he would not go on the floor with a proxy but might speak to the dele gates if invited. It was thought he might appear before the resolutions committee in advocacy of some of his ideas. MT. Bryan said he did not ex- pect to present his views on prohibit tion to the committee, but was here only to serve and write his impress sons of the convention. The NebcGs- kan since his arrival here early yestcr- day has been busy receiving callers, being constantly thronged with visi- tors. Most of them, it was said, mere ly made social calls.
