Oldtime Flouncings
Adapted to New Models

VERY often the most beautiful of
family laces are in the form
of f1ouncings; these are difficult for
the artist of the modern robe to
handle. There is, however, a Red
fern model that adapts itself per-
fectly to the use of oldtime flounc.
lngs. First, a slim little slip is
made of bridal satin, then by skilful
drapery this dress is almost hidden
under network of wide lace.
The founcing may be used for this
and also for the sleeves, which flow
to a length halfway between the
elbow and the wrist. A piece Of the
lace is attached to low round neck
line at the back, with very little ful.

other than heirlooms, will be almost
as little in evidence at weddings as
good old-fashioned toasts pledged in
flowing bumpers will be after the
first of July.
So fortunate indeed is the mod
ern bride who has access to a chest
of ancestral laces. She who has not
may we'll envy the lovely Tuscan
brides of the Renaissance, whose
dover chests contained laces that
had been handed down from genera
ton unto generation. Many of these
were woven in castles or manor
houses in the days when even queens
worked at this beautiful and fasci-
mating art. Or, perhaps, they had
been years in the making within
the walls of some convent.

fair-haired ingenue type never would
select this gown, but no robe could
be more striking for a tall, dark
haired woman.
The bride sketched in the centre
of the page chose to be married in
a dress that takes it's inspiration
from the days of the troubadours,
when magnificent trains over which
fell lace wells of inestimable value
were carried by little pages. The
straight robe of white satin is al
most hidden by the front and back
panels of silver brocade that are
made even more elaborate by being
bordered with pearls and strands of
silver, hand embroidered into a de-
sign that Stimulates the scallops of
rare old lace.
1t is essentially a postwar we'd
ding costume that knows nothing of
conservation, but is rather a robe
to stimulate artists in both gowns
and fabrics to put forth their best
creative efforts.

Gowns From France

TNHE European wedding dress,
Il with it's convent simplicity,
does not have the appeal for
us that our own beautiful bridal
costumery has. A Continental bride
is married in the early morning,
wearing high-necked, long-sleeved
gown of white satin with the veil
draped so as to fall over her face.
This would never do for us, so Paris
has created many types of bridal
dresses for her American clients.
One toilette de mariee, from a
great French dressmaker, has as it's
foundation a straight short robe of
white crepe satin with rather full
tulle sleeves that sweep around the
arms to be gathered to prim little
lace bands at the wrists. Over this
slip is placed loose tunic that re-
minds one of the coat of armor of
a Crusader, and this suggestion is
further enhanced by covering the
tunic with an intricate and elaborate
embroidery of silver threads that
catch in their stitchery thousands of
pearl and crystal beads which make
it glisten in the sunshine. Around
the waist of this dress goes girdle
of crystal and silver, the ends of
which fall in cleaning lengths al
most to the hem of the slim white
satin skirt.

Towels That Are Plain
And Others Elaborate

in TOWELS the difficulty is to get
linen ones. But they can be
had. Plain huckaback or damask
patterns are best for everyday use.
Then there should be some more
elaborate ones with hand embroid-
cred edges or lace insertions, and in
spite of their luxuriant appearance
they are practical and thoroughly
useful.
In bath towels you may like to
get those with the colored borders.
with washcloths and bathmats to
match. When buying these you
should never fail to ask if the colors
are fast.
Teacloths and luncheon sets are
very simple. Many of them are per-
fectly plain hemstitched squares
combined with Belgian laces. There
are, too, some lovely luncheon sets of
unbleached Italian linen that come
in sixteenth and seventeenth century
designs. They cost about $35 a set.
All of these linens may be had from

France Offers Some
Picturesque Suggestions

A REACTION from the fiat ar
rangement of bridal wells
that has been the mode for several
years appears in the tendency to
wear the veil draped high on the
head. This inclination gives us
many sources from which to draw
our inspiration. For instance, there
are the picturesque headdresses of
France. And in Brittany and Nor
mandy alone there are almost as
many different shaped caps and
modes of wearing these caps as there
are villages.
Some suggestions for draping
wells are shown in the sketches. The
bride in the group at the left wears
an embroidered Brittany cap, and
from the top of this springs the
tulle. Tulle is used for wells be-
cause there is scarcity of lace.
Until the lacemaking industry is
restored in Europe - and nobody

For Those Who Marry
In the Custom of Holland

NOT every bride chooses to wear
the classic wedding gown
with veil; some for one reason or
another may, like John Alden and
Priscilla, prefer to wed "in the mag
istrate's presence, after the Puritan
way and the laudable custom of Hol-
land" For the bride who does not
wish to wear the classic robes and
veil, many lovely costumes are Gre
ated. An unusually informal one of
white crepe satin is designed by a
famous French dressmaker.
A tunic with short sleeves that
hang like little capes is cut all in
one piece, which is embroidered in
motifs of white angora wool, while
the tight underskirt, also of satin,
is left without this ornamentation.
Inspired, no doubt, by the Red
Cross nurses uniform, is a wedding
dress by Worth. 1t is just a plain
white satin gown, short and train
less, and with it is worn a soft
round hat of the same fabric, having
a brim that turns up all the way
round. From the hat falls a short
tulle veil, after the fashion of the
Red Cross wells.
Bridesmaids may wear any of the
prevailing shades of the season.
Cltron color is new and smart. The
frocks may be of citron colored
Georgette and since this new shade
blends so beautifully with white, the
hats might be of the same material
as the gowns, with narrow bands
of ermine on the outside edges of
the brims.

~ NE of the most impor-
tant subjects facing
~ Congress vat this time
is the question of the
disposition of German-owned
property taken over by the
alien property custodian. This
question is of great interest and
- Importance to the many Ameri-
can citizens who have suffered
damage or lost property because
OF Germany's acts during the
war.
OF course. the disposition of
enemy property is primarily for
the peace conference, but the
MISUNDERSTANDING act pro-
vides that after the end of the
war Congress shall determine, so
that legislation will be neces-
sary. Presumably, however,
this legislation will carry out the
terms of the treaty. providing
proper machinery for putting the
principles which may there be
laid down into practical opera
ton.
1t is not necessary to forecast
the treaty of peace to hazard
the prophecy that all American
citizens whose property has been
taken in enemy countries will
under some form of admins
trative law present their claims
for allowance to this govern
ment, which will see that they
are properly reimbursed for
their losses. The United States
will hardly be expected to pay
these losses out of its own funds
when it has at hand more than
sufficient property belonging to
German subjects whose claims
against US will doubtless be pro-
vided for by their own govern
ment in the same manner.

So far, so good. But no progress can
be made unless a plan is adopted. It
would be better still If plan were
adopted that had been tested. Fortu-
nately that is possibility. The plan
of the Whitley commission, which
has been adopted by many of the in
dustries of England with gratifying
success lies ready for our use.

<VX YE cannot live our right
M life as nation or
achieve our proper sue
cess as an industrial
community" President Wilson de-
clared, in his recent message to Con-
sress, 'If capital and labor are to
continue to be antagonistic instead of
being partners: If they are to con-
tfnue to distrust one another and con-
trfye how they can get the better of
one another
In his enumeration of the important
problems that confront Congress he
puts the labor question 'at the front
of all others" That there are many
men of thought who agree with them
there can be no question. The desira-
bility of entente cordiale between la
Dor and capital is so self-evident that
a reiteration of it would seem alb
surd but for the fact that the choice
of a policy that will have far-reach-
ing consequences must be made.
Many propositions have been ad-
vanced and numerous pleasant plati-
tudes have been uttered. but they
have led nowhere. Otto H. Kahn re-
Gently delivered an address in Pitts
burgh, in which he discussed with ad-
mirable fairness the relations of cap
ital and labor and suggested line
Of conduct that won a wide and
friendly response.
