This Seasons Bride Takes Great Interest In
Frocks OF Silken Stuff The Easter We'd

the June wedding, which is apt to
take place at the country home Of
the brides parents, and satin, lace
and tulle in the traditional combina-
ton are demanded by the church
wedding in town. The pictured bridal
costume shows the tendency toward
youthfulneSS in the modern wedding
gown. The once stately sweep of satin
from neck to heel is broken by drap-
cries and founces and. the apron tunic
over yoke and sleeve Of sheer fabric
is almost coquettish in suggestion.
The sweeping train Of white satin is
supposed to furnish the bridal gown
with sufficient dignity-as indeed it
does! But with this handsome train
removed, the gown pictured can be
turned into a dainty dance frock, lace
founced and short enough to make
one-stepping and waltz cantering
quite comfortable.
The gown which is one of Worth's
most beautiful achievements this sea-
son, is Of soft but heavy white satin
charm use-the lovely, shimm ering
ivory white set apart for the brides
wear. Wide white lace in a delicate
French pattern is ruf1ed around the
curving edge Of the pleated apron,
giving the gown the distended, barrel
silhouette at the hips. At either side
of the front the skirt is Topped up a
trifle under clusters of orange bios

edge is laid in pleatS which form the
"brim' of the veil. This "brim" is
fastened at the sides with pearl bead
ornaments, and sprays of orange bios
SONS extend toward the front. Modern
and most beautiful is the bridal
bouquet Of white roses and maiden
hair fern, with shower clusters of
valley lilies and orange blossom buds
depending from white ribbons.
F'rocks That Reveal Spring Newness.
So many spring weddings are fol-
lowed by motor honeymoons now that
not so many brides start on their
travels in tailored suits as was once
the case. Of course, no trousseau
would be complete without two smart
tailleurs at least; one a natty little
suit Of semi-formal character, the
other a serviceable knockabout suit Of
semi-sport type. But the basis Of this
springs trousseau seems to be the
frock-frocks by the dozen, one
should say! And to go over these
alluring frocks there should be some
very stunning and dashing separate
coats of spring-like character. Prac-
teal for the Easter rousseau is a
model of fine wool velour in smoke
gray color with small buckles of
smoked pearl on belt and pockets.
Another coat Of sand colored burella
cloth is lined with white faille matinee
silk, and has white pearl buttons and
rows of self colored machine stitch

veil can be suited too, this spring
One Of the new wells to- be worn
loosely over the hat has a design
embroidered across it's upper part to
come against the hat-brin1. The veil
is of very sheer mesh with a border
of chenille dots in graduated sizes
and the veil is so shaped that it falls
mostly at the front, sloping up, apron
fashion toward the back of the hat.
The embroidery is done with pale
gray silk and shows up well against
a dark blue straw bicorne hat. An
other type of floating veil does not
fall below the chin, but is draped
around a mushroom hat brim so that
the lower edge is perfectly horizontal
the front coming just to the tip of
the chin and the sides just below the
ear-lobes. At the back the veil folds
across the down-sla mushroom
hrinl. Such a veil must be adjusted
with utmost nicety-in fact, any veil
should be; nothing can spoil the eff
feet Of a smart costume more quickly
than veil put on "any way at ALL"
and it is the woman who spends at
least five minutes adjusting her veil,
studying the effect from back and side
views by aid of q hand-nlirror, who
has the perfectly groomed suggestion
that is so charming.
A shabby bedraggled veil is even
worse than new one careleSsly adj
justed, and when wells are so cheap,
there seems to be no reason why some
women should cling to them as they
do, long after their freshness has
passed. 1t is always better to buy
several wells at one time and wear
them, turn and turn about, so that
the mesh will have time to straigften
out and renew it's freshness between
wearings. Never roll q veil up into a
wad and throw it into a bureau
drawer-even if it is only twenty
fve-cent veil. it is worth keeping fresh
and wearable as long as it lasts. Have
strips of cardboard (cut from old
bOxes), and wind the wells on these
when not in use. All the strips can
be laid fiat in a long box or compart-
ment in the dresser drawer. Pull the
edges of the veil out well when wind
ing for a veil always stretches from
end to end and grows narrower be-
tween the edges.

Iy drawn face wells are worn. They
have narrow borders at the lower
edge, or may be worn inverted; that
perhaps the latter method is a little
more fashionable just at the moment.
There are wells with a distinct and
decided pattern at the top, designed
to show up against the hat. Some of
these show soutache embroideries or
embroideries done with heavy white
silk on the dark or neutral toned
mesh. There is the butterfly pattern
for instance, the big butterfly wrought
in silk embroidery, showing to much
advantage against dark hat of silk
or straw. Other patterns show the
thistle, the rose. the beetle or some
conventional design. One of these
wells, with a design of heraldic char
acter wrought in steel beads on a
fine black octagon mesh, was noted
at the Ritz the other day at luncheon
hour, over a chic little hat just from
Paris and copied from the visored
cap affected by a well-liked French
actress. The cap at the Ritz had a
tall crown Of black pontine-the soft
waxed material that is like supple
leather on it's outer side and has a
back of silk in contrasting color-and
the visor was also of the black pom
tine. At the top of the brim was a
soft puff Of gray velvet and the whole
hat sloped backward from the tip Of
the visor to the pulled velvet crown
on top, making an excellent back
ground for the trinity drawn black
veil with it's heraldic device in steel
beads. And by the way, this most
fetching hat and veil combination was
accompanied by a new Paris tailleur
Of gray mohair and worsted mixture
with a pleated skirt and very short
eton jacket tied at the throat with
long streamers of black faille matinee
silk, the jacket, edged with closely set
buttons and buttonholes down the
front, opening to show a waistcoat of
checked green and black silk. The
pleated skirt fell just over the tops of
buttoned boots with gray cloth tops
The whole costume arrested the at
tention of every woman in the room,
and the veil with its steel-beaded pat
tern resting against the hat was
notale detail.

~HOUGH the Easter trousseau is
not supposed to be ready for
inspection until the invitations
for the wedding are out and
the wedding presents begin to arrive;
1t is a dilatory bride indeed who has
not gathered together-or at least
made plans and given orders for
most of her trousseau, by the middle
of March. Fashions for the coming
spring and summer are pretty well
settled by now; dressmakers and tail
ors are thoroughly advised Of new,
modes and even in the ready-to-wear
departments spring and summer are
well established. A frock or two, and
perhaps the latest thing in hats may
be picked up at the last minute from
the Easter array flooding the shops
in early April, but the bulk of the
trousseau will have been secured long
before April advances over the
horizon. And, Of course, the most
important item in the trousseau-the
bridal gown-will have been arranged,
for first Of all.

I'D HOUGH there is always more or
Az less TODD made about wells in
Va the autumn, it is in springtime
w. that women take most interest
in these fascinating wisps Of fnery.
The serene. MINDLESS days Of Septem-
Der and October scarcely encourage
the wearing Of wells but in March,
April and May conditions are differ
ent; brisk breezes are ever blowing
from one direction or another-often
from two or three directions at once,
and unless one starts out snugly yelled,
one is apt to look sadly dishevel1ed
before one has progressed many
blocks. The yelling counter is dis
tra'cted sort of place on a March day
when high wind is blowing. Women
by the score are demanding wells
any sort of veils-the quicker the bet
ter, to be tied over blown-about
tresses before they venture out again
into the gale.
One does not say that the veil is
to be more fashionable than ever this
sprdng-for the veil Is always fash
ionable in spring-but this spring the
wells are more charming than they
have ever been, and are worn in
mOSt graceful fashion too. One has
wide choice in veilings for the new
styles range from delicate hand-run
patterns, sheer and fine as thread
lace, to richly Oriental effects with
patterns done in gold or silver thread;
yet no patterns are SO bizarre as to be
heavy or grotesque on the face-as
veil patterns have been, too often in
the past few years.
The border effects are the favorites,
and narrow borders which come just
above the chin when the veil is tied
smoothly around the hat, are best
liked by conservative women The
very short, bordered veil, coming be-
tween nose and chin, has vogue
with youthful women, It is a saucy,
piquant little veil, charming on a
pretty face, but trife trying-with
it's border bifurcating the features
to middle age or to a visage that is
not all soft curves and dimples. Wells
drawn in snugly under the, chin are
always most becoming to women
whose dominant claim to attractive
ness is certain smart, we'll groomed
look rather than mere rosy pretti-
ness, and a great many of these close

that the regiment would be modified

The telegram from Adjutant Whit

be modified at the Boise barracks
about August l..
Still another order showing that the
regiment is to be modified at Boise
barracks came to the adjutant gener-
ais office today, calling out the re-
serves of the Idaho national guard.
These reserves, men who have served
three years in the guard and been dis
charged, subject to call for an addi-
tional three years service, number
about 80 men. They are or 1ered TO
report to the companies nearest where
they are located and proceed with
them to the mobilization camp. The
telegram. which is signed by Adult

1t is believed by CaDtain Newman
and other officers that the regiment
will be in camp at the Boise barracks
for at least a month. The camp at
Palo Alto, it is reported, will not be
ready for troops before September 1,
at the earliest. Before the regiment

says the Capital News. Director All

urged the growers not to hold their

sition that the prices now prevailing

to force higher prices would work an
injury to the dairy and beef industries
Of the state.
Splendid crops of alfalfa were seen

On the North Side tract crops have
been injured to some extent by a wa

purely local. 1t is due, as a matter
of fact, not to a water shortage, for
there is water in abundance, but the
condition of the irrigation works.
Breaks in canals and failure to prop

heat of the past week have practically
ruined the grain crops where no. wa
ter is available. In many sections
where the grain had a good start, it
has been literally burned up by the
sun. Farmers are now confronted
with the necessity of either shipping
their hogs out unfat ened or shipping
in grain to fat-en them.
One fortunate feature is that dry
farmers who find their own crops
failures can secure employment at
high wages on the irrigated farms.
This condition will go a long ways
toward solving the labor shortage liz
