OUTFIT FOR BRIDE
Ivory White Satin Remains the
Favored Material.
Lace Is Again Fashionable and Often
Family HeirIooms Are Used
The Going-Away Gown.

Though no one begrudges the bride
OF this year her traditional bridal
panoply Of ivory satin, lace and tulle,
IL is not expected OF her TO provide an
elaborate and expensive trousseau of
handsome evening gowns and stunning
afternoon costumes, states q fashion

natural bride who did not claim her

brides In normal times. n woman can
be a bride but once, and even in war.
