Already June weddings are engaging
the attention of those who must think
out all the details of several bridal
pageants, for there are changing fash
ions to be considered. Every bride
cherishes the hope that her wedding
procession may be impressive and
beautiful and present one or two new
elements of interest at least. And
there are experts who recognize her
wish and see To ii that II may be
granted. Millinery for her maids is
almost the most important item that
the bride has to consider, outside the
details of her own costuming.
The airy, flower-trimmed and softly
feminine styles for midsummer show
mauy developments that promise
charming headdresses for the brides
maid. The choice is not confined to
hats, but their charm Is so powerful
that chances are Ia their favor. Hair
braid and tuscan, crepe georgette and
malinas, net and flowers 90 to make
up the loveliest Of midsummer mil
linery. There never was II summer
when bridesmaids could be more en-
chantingly dressed.
In the group of hats shown in the
picture one, of hair braid, Is a famil-
iar picturesque type that never fails

MUSLINS HAVE BEEN REVIVED
Striped and Checked Fabrics Of This
Kind Are Expected to Prove Popu.
lar During the Summer.

Someone mt the head of the weav-
ing industry decided that 1t was time
to revive all manner of muslins for
summer use. and the shop windows
are filed with alluring fabrics that
show many Of the old-fashioncd de-
signs. There IRE stripes and checks
and flowers In pink. blue, red and
yellow. These muslins will he made
up with fine embroidery as n trim
ming. or filet or Irish crochet lace,
both of which have come back into
fashion.
II is said that these gowns Of soft
muslin will not follow the chemise
robe idea, but will be made with the
barrel skirt and draped blouse with
sash, or there will be satin or
chiffon cOlored blouse dropping in
straight lines to the hips and en-
broidered mt Its edges. Those who
are expert In prophecy say that the
striped and checked muslins will be
more desirable this summer than the
expensive gown of fine. white hand
kerchief linen covered with needle
work. The shops are asking quite as
much for n pink and white striped
muslin without lace as they do for O
lingerie gown made In Paris, but that
Is to be expected. The pleasant side
of the shield is that women car
achieve very good looking muslin
gowns in the home sewing room.

SASHES INCREASE IN SIZE
Used With Every Kind Of Gown and
There Is No Limit to What May
Be Done With Them.

As the sashcs grow more ornamental
and increase in size. the gowns may
merely be accessories To them. The
Japanese obi, which was introduced
by Jenny, has n dozen or more rivals
on every kind of gown, from n sport
suit of Jersey tn Il ball gown of bul.

There are sashcs that wrap around
the waist three times. To outline the
various places where n sash Is sup
posed To be: there are sashes that 20
otter the shoulders. pass around the
waist, drop down the back of the
skirt. and across over the hem In
front to give barrel effect below the
knees. In truth, there Is no limit to
what Is done with sashes. Splendid
ribbons are used, the kind that were
made by hand in the sixteenth cen
fury. They are beautiful enough In
themselves for gowns, with the add
ton of n bit of lace ar crystals.

Just as we conclude that there Is
nothing new that can possibly happen
to summer blouses, along comes an
attractive surprise and we are forced
to concede that another beautiful nov
city has made its appearance. There
are inexhaustible reservoirs of ideas, IL
seems, that designers know how to
draw upon to provide us with that va
riety which Is the spice of life and
blouses.
Here Is n new, midsummer model,
made of fine cotton wolfe, embellished
with French tucks. II Is cut after the
usual manner of blouses. its seams are
hemstitched, sleeves plain and roomy
and, so far, all the details of its con-
struction are all like tried old friends
with whom we have long been famil-
lar But just ut this point the creator
of this blouse thought of adding IN
Organdie collar and cuffs made of u
fine orgnndie edging, and of shaping
the collar In new way. Furthermore,
the dainty embroidered edge of the
organdie is lifted into prominence by u
narrow border of black organdie.
The collar Is high ut the back and
rolls at the front, the wiry texture of
the material making this pretty adjust
ment to the neck possible. The cuffs
are simply lengths of the embroidered
organdie, turned back and fastened ut
the top with n single pearl button. The
means by which Its maker arrived ut
such good ends In this blouse are the
simplest. But the touch of sheer bncl;
In collar and cuffs Is original and fine

20 use the regular election precincts
in getting a full list of the men who

make them come and register.
After the registration list is COM
