And now that 1t is wartime and we'd

times end at the altar almost as soon

the dressmaker.
Wartime simplicity however rules
over peacetime extravaganza. One
might add that extravagance has been
squelched in appearance more than in
actuality. for the demure outfit that the
brides Of July and August will wear
at the summer resorts from Newport to
Coronado Beach has its price, and that
price is not low.
There are those who maintain that
the heaviness of ivory satin should be
substituted by dead white chiffon.

troduced sea green. pale blue and rose
pink into the white draperies. They
borrowed from the peasantry Of other
countries the glitterfnG gold and silver
emhroideries. They tilched from the
Italian days of Catherine de Medici the
metallic tissues and soft and brilliant
tinsels, and they borrowed from Russia
the massive laces and deep-toned white
and cream VelvetS.
Not content with this, they had subtIy
woven lace gowns. the patterns of
which had been originated for royalty.
Doucet once made an entire lace frock
dropped over ivory satin. at the cost of
$1,000, to be worn by n young girl in
Washington.
A thousand dollars was paid for court
trains Of subtly woven lace. which were
caught on the shoulders with diamond
ornaments and held out at their ex-
treme length by tiny pages in white
satin and Louis XIV hats.
The daughter of a great banker paid
$4,000 for a wedding gown of old
Italian tissue. woven with crystals and
embroidered in silver threads, with
deep tunic Of old French lace that had
once belonged to royalty.
These gowns were worn at n time
when such prices were considered mon
strous. and that was only a few years
ago. The war has pitched the price of
womens apparel up to the skies. and
when a dancer pays $500 for a fragile
frock of tulle. and an actress pays $500
for coat suit to wear in the second
act of new play, and a moving picture
idol pays $500 for an evening gown to
flicker over a film, then the public can
get some faint idea of how the level Of
prices has risen.
For the last three years this ex-
travagant idea of wedding finery has
passed out. 1t is family possible that
the war may have something to do with
this condition. but probably not.
The actual reason for the disinclina-
tion of women to use colors is that
they prefer white for the wedding day
