The Brides Veil.

IF the first days of war brought
forth an interesting series of
weddings. and If around the war
brides there circled rather more inter-
est than around the maid of normal
times when she welded the man OF
her choice, then even more interest,"
ing are the peace weddings and peace
brides of these days, when the soldier
or sailor boy comes home to claim
the maid who has worn his service
star next her heart for the long
months of his absence overseas or in
camp.
The war weddings were chara cter.
ICED by an informality made necessary
by the fact that the soldier bride
groom often was ordered off at very
short notice made necessary also by
the fact that frequently severe econ
omy was imperative. But now plans
are elaborate and extravaganza is in
the air. None of the details OF the
elaborate wedding are overlooked.
Wedding cake in dainty white boxes
usually given up during the war
again Is part of the program. The
bridesmaids viii be out In fun force
and they viii have their bouquets and
their gifts from the bride, and
the ushers will have their bouton-
nieres and their scarf pins, as in the
old days.
There were those who predicted the
passing of the old-time elaborate
wedding and thought that we would
always prefer the small. simple we'd
ding, such as was characteristic OF
war days. But then there were those
who said that women would always
prefer to wear uniforms to individual
clothes, and as a matter OF fact the
women who had been wearing uni
forms as part of their wartime work
could not make tracks for their dress
makers fast enough when the armis-
tice was declared to plan frocks that
had nothing in the least suggestive
of uniformity about them. SO we have

Peace Brides and Pageant Weddings for Spring

got back to ante-bellum ways even In
weddings,
Many war bride felt that the
gown she could best dispense with
was the white satin wedding gown
ana It's accessory, the wedding veil.
one wore these things but once, she
reasoned, and when economy was in
order it really did seem that she
could get along better without them
than without one OF the frocks that
would do for some dozen occasions
later on. But the peace bride is
wnite satin bride and she wears her
veil and all the other trappings that
we nave come to associate with the
young woman when she goes to the
altar.
Never perhaps were wells more at
tractive: never indeed was there so
much variety about them. De can take
ones choice now between the lace
ven and the tulle veil; though the lat
yer IS more generally becoming. the
lace veil is richer in association and
when 1T is becoming it really is amaz-
ingly SO. One OF the most charming
arrangements of the lace veil is one
that suggests the way a Spanish lady
arranges her white lace mantilla
minus, of course, the coauettish
rose and the high comb. 1t is laid
over the simply arranged couture and
folds OF the lace hang down on the
shoulders and longer folds abou; the
pa~h. IL 10 Heiu SliSntiy away from
the race at the temples, but the fas-
tening is invisible
one or the smartest arrangements
consists of a wide bandeau made Of
artificial orange blossoms that holds
IN place puff crown of tulle At the
side. and back the tulle hangs in yo-
luminous folds from beneath this ban
deau and extends sometimes below
the hem of the gown
favor1te arrangement of the tulle
over the head is In a sort of casoue
device held in place at the front by a
little band of orange blossoms or q
panu OF pearls or rhfnestones far
down over the forehead. The tulle
hangs at the back rather seantily and
Is cut in an irregular line at the bot
tom.
Another interesting arrane ement Of
tuile suggests the nuns wimple The
ven ID puffed over the hair, and a soft
folding OF tulle is arranged around
the chin and neck and drawn up to
meet the veil. A band of orange How
ers or OF pearls is sometimes placed
across the forehead In this arrange
ment.
The frock on the figure Ia made of
satin and tu1le and georgette. The
train starts at the shoulders. It is
made of tulle, bordered with beading,
and ending in satin. The tulle sleeves
show an underarm band Of beading.

New Shoe Buckles.

ORNAMENTAL buckles are quite in
vogue for afternoon and evening
shoes and slippers. and the shops are
now showing most tempting assert
ment of them
one or the most UNCONSTITUTIONAL
by no means freakish--of the evening
slipper buckles Is the beaded one.
That does not mean that an elaborate
design is worked out in colored
beads. 1t means instead that buckle
Or at least what we call a buckle.
usually, when we mean one of those
ornaments for the instep of our Slip
pers--is formed of row after row of
very small beads. fastened snugly OF,
stinened form. Jet and steel bead
buckles are worn on black slippers
and on bronze and brown slippers
buckles of tiny brown beads are
worn.
Sometimes, too, "a design is worked
into these bead buckles. but it is usu-
ally only two-toue design-black
and steel, bronze and brown beads, or
some such obtruSive combination, as
that gives the best results.
For the gray suede shoes. and
good many are in evidence for after
noon wear, there are buckles of steel
beads mounted on gray suede foun-
dation, with patch of the gray
suede showing inside the band Of
shining steel beads
There are some very attractive new
bead slippers, with straps across the
instep. These come in both black and
bronze, beaded, respectively, in steel
and brown or bronze beads, They also
come in gray suede with steel beads
There are also some buckles for
afternoon shoes of patent leather
made of black enamel and steel beads,
and some of black enamel and rhine
stones for evening slippers OF silver
or black.

such weddings as that of Catherine
de Medici to the young King of France.
The entire trend of fashion having
gone toward medievalism since the
end of the war ii is not difficult TO
arrange these wedding pageants In
keeping with modern costumes. The
lattice work of metal threads and seed
pearls. which distinguished that era
in history, was revived several months
ago, not only for evening gowns. but
for those afternoon gowns INTENDED
for something more formal than tea
at q restaurant. Louis XIV, you may
remember, revived the lattice-work
decoration and extended IL to houses
We still have that agreeable French
trick of hiding the neighbours wall
with tiny green lattice work that
makes the street life of French city
less somber. 1t is a pity that the
Americans do not adopt this Dit OF
decoration: 1t would surely make us
regard the combining walls around our
city homes as something less disagree
able and menacing in their ugiiness.
This lattice ornamentation OF me
dieval days, when applied to Apparel,
was q means of spending money. IL
was not easy to use seed pearls with
spun metallic threads at slight ex-
pense. The trick was reserved for
royalty, and Queen Elizabeth, the
naughty, and Mary Stuart, the suntie,
both incorporated the fashion In their
regal costumes. although they were
such opposing physical. moral ana
mental types
X
The wedding gown of the hour takes
to this ornamentatlon of crossed
threads with gladness. 1t seems made
for a robe Of charmeuse, with fiat
effect at the neck of chiffon. lace or
tulle. Bridesmaids may put their hands
into a basketball of ideas from this
period of costumery, and arrange
gowns that will make any group of
guests i'm a church realize that pa
geantry In weddings Is. after all. a
trait In human nature that Is quite
satisfying.
group includes a wedding gown OF
satin embroidered In pearls without
price and silk and silver threads. The
lattice work Is carried up to the knees,
downward from the hips and covers
the train, which la lined with cloth OF
silver The slim, high -necked bodice
has an outstanding medieval collar of
lace sewn with silver threads, and the
long tight sleeves OF lace have a lat
tice work Of pearls from shoulder to
elbow.
THE bridesmaids gowns are OF pale
rose velvet, an exquisttely soft weave
OF this fabric. which clings to the body
like chiffon. The frocks are made with
straight panels back and front, over q
sheath slip; the panels are embroid-.
cred with a lattice work OF silver, and

there are small ornaments of seed
pearls placed at intervals.
Taking her cue from Die Rosen-
kavalier.' one bride insists upon hav-
ing her long train held by two black
boys deliberately dressed in oriental
costumes, with wrapped turbans OF
cloth of gold. No one who knows the
spirit that exists in small black boys
can doubt for moment the JOY in
their hearts when dressed in such
costumery. 1t was the custom of the
great ladies of Europe in another CEN
tury to have these small black pages
wait on them, and they were always
pictorial parts of the boudoir and
drawing room.
The first empire and the drectoire.
which preceded II. are again handing
down Inspiration to the French dress
makers, and each month sees a strong
grouping together of the accessories
of fashion during that time. So we'd
dings also reflect this age. The clothes
for a pageant of this kind are bit
mixed in the political eras they sug-
gest. but who cares?
y
The bride wears the full regalia of
Josephine. Empress OF the French,
with heelless slippers, white silk
stockings and white satin gown with
the velvet court train. lined with sill
yer and caught at the shoulders with
silver ornaments. The couture is
copied from the one that Josephine
made famous, with its ringlets at the
top and at the temples The brides
maids are appareled in pure directoire
costumes---in the red and blue of
France. Their cutaway coats are OF
red satin and the skirts are blue. The
high crowned hats are of soft white
straw faced with French blue, and the
crown is banded with French-blue
ribbon, which hangs In long streamers
at the back. Each bridesmaid carries
a whlte-enameied cane with an ebony
and silver top. to which is tied
bunch of roses.
1t is not probable that the weddings
of the directoire took grandeur unto
themselves, but everybody knows that
brilliancy, extravaganza and gayety
abided during Napoleon's reign and
broke loose with renewed fervor when
he was exiled; so that splendor was
there. which we may filch and make
our own.
BY the way. whenever one speaks Of
the enormous prices of clothes in these
recent days Of war prices there is a
memory Of some of the prices quoted
In those days, when society was sup
posed to be struggling for it's exist
ence. Few peace brides, no matter
what the splendor of their weddings
this spring, will pay more for their
gowns than did Mrs, Wellesley-P Pole.

Duchess of Devoushire. which was
displayed for fortnight at the ducal
house.
This gown was of real Brussels point
lace draped over white satin. and a
lace veil fell down its length. The
frock alone cost SO 500. the headdress
$3.50 and the veil $1,000, The necklace
and earrings worn cost $125,0 900.
This, mind you. was in England dur
ing war. What would be said of Il
girl in this country if the papers pub
lished such expenditures for a bridal
costume to take her TO the altar this
spring?
