the bride who has decided to draw
upon 1920 to supply the style her
maids shall wear. is pictured here.
Tucks and frills. all ar their pretty
best in net. are used for trimming
An underskirt of net has two groups
of narrow tuckS about the bottom and
over it long and full tunic. Wlred
about the hips. A frill over the wired
line proclaims its allegiance TO the
old hoop skirt effede which is the in
spiration of this frock. Below the
frill two groups of narrow tucks give
an embroidered band of net the proper
setting. The short sleeves are very
frilly, with three narrow flounces as
q finish, headed with a group of tucks.
The bodice is slightly low, giving
line across the bust and shoulders that
is in keeping with the hooped skirt.
A frill at the neck opening has tucks
and embroidered band below and at
each side plain net gathered in ana
extending to the waist, gives an added
fullness. The sash of narrow satin
ribbon with hanging loops and long
ends set on at each side is a charming
accessory, the loops falling from Gus
ters of little chiffon roses.

VIZ HEN the talk is of bridesmaids
w frockS there is no telling the
wide ranges it will travel for here is
where the bride may give range to her
fancy. especially n she is to have a
bevy of maids She may choose to
lead them back few centuries in
choosing styles or she is more than
likely to pick ont some period not so
remote and revive its charm of quaint
dress or she may decide to be very
modern and frankly frivolous. But if
she hopes to please everybody let her
decide that her maids shall look de-
mure and beautiful They can do this
i'm clothes with either an ancient or
modern flavor.
Taffeta. ,geOrgette and fine net. all
make lovely frocks for bridesmaids
and each of them amounts to an in
surance of success; yet they are as
different as can be. All are beautiful
in light colors, and net, in white, used
to veil a color, makes a practical frock
that will give n great deal of service
after it has played its part at we'd
ding. GeOrgette is astonishingly dur
able in spite of its fragile looks, and
everyone knows the virtues of taffeta.
