Sleeveless and Short Sleeved Wedding Gowns An InnO-
vatiOn - Going Away Costumes Likely To Be of
Brdey Gray - Furs An Important Feature of
Autumn TrOusSeaux Bridal Trains.

many Of the handsomest gowns have
either no sleeves at an, or shirred chif-
fon or lace sleeves to the elbow. And
very long gloves Of white glace kid
or suede must be provided. These
must be worn during the ceremony
though the bride will be apt to draw
them of afterward. when the occasion
changes from one OF formallty and
solemniiy TO an affair Of fun and jol-
lity. And, or course, no bride will
have that 'after-the-ceremony photo

and give TOO much stiffness and for

IN TROUSSEAU Is always select
A ed with an eye set well ahead.
The bride OF October has no
y u interest whatever in the be-
tween season fashions that bridge the
gap between warm September and
actual winter weather that comes
about Thanksgiving time. She makes
her purchases with a mind focused
on the winter season. and though she
must have. OF course. certain smart
new costumes for the autumn wedding
trip-a crisp little fall tailleur. good
looking sport toys and one or two
linen morning dresses for days that
are sure TO be summery. her particu-
lar interest is in furs handsome eve
ming wraps and correct dinner and
afternoon frocks for the winter sea-
son IN which she will play her new
and absorbing role OF young matron.
Few brides nowadays spend a lot
OF money on an assortment OF frocks
which will go out OF fashion before
they are half worn. but concentrate
on things that will be OF practical use
for some time: beautiful wraps. fur
wearables and tailored suits OF such
authoritative new mode that they will
endure In style through at least
whole season.

or course the first interest OF any
normal bride is her bridal costume.

strip OF satin almost eclipsed by the
yards of tulle that float over 81. These

Delay OF two or three weeks In
passage by the House of soldier
aid legislation may result from the
situation which has developed in
the Ways and Means Committee,
considering the legislation.
Treasury experts, who are draft
ing the language of the proposed
sales tax provisions of the bill
next week, 1t was said yesterday
and two of the subcommittee are
yet to report When the Treasury
experts and the subcommittee
make their final reports the full
committee must whip the entire
composite plan into shape In the
form Of bill. which will require
several days.
Letters protesting against the
proposed tax to pay the bonus al
ready are coming In. and the Dem
ocrats are renewing their fight for
retroactive tax on millionaires'
war profits.
1t was understood yesterday that
the Republicans have directed the
Treasury experts to prepare esti-
mates Of the amount that might
be raised by increasing the present
tax on higher incomes as supple
mental to the sales tax
The Republicans also have changed
their plan to collect the sales tax
quarterly. The new plan Is to col
lect IL monthly on businesses of
$500 or more. This will reduce the
exemption from s2.5oo to $4,000 q

GIRL BACKED OUT AND
LICENSE WAS NO GOOD

Several months ago young man
appeared at the office Of Probate
Judge Miller and procured mar
riage license to wed the girl Of his
choice. The time was set for the
marriage but the young lady be.
came sick and the wedding had to be
postponed. Last week the same
young man came back and stated
that he had lost the license and
would like to have another issued in
order that at last his fondest hopes
might be realized. The judge very
kindly granted his request, sending
the young man away buoyant and
hopeful, but imagine his surprise
when a few days afterward the
young man walked into his office
and in a most doleful manner stated
that it was all off in the marriage
line and wanted refund of the
price paid for the license. What the
Judge did is not known, but it is
safe to say the young man has very
forcibly realized there is many Z
slip between a marriage license ard
a happily welded life.
