The Frenchwoman still buys pro-
portionately more underthings than
do most Americans, though she insists
that since the war these things are
different and that the present bride

Sometimes certain color scheme is

quently out of laces and materials
salvaged from some discarded frock.
This OF course means considerable
fussing and scheming and adds just
one more anxiety during those busy
weeks before the wedding. The
American bride would perhaps think
it was not quite worth all the trouble.
Two or three ready-made negliges
taken fresh from the hangers of one
of the shops may answer the purpose
quite as well.
But would any one nowadays at
tempt to simplify the matter in truly
Eugenie fashion,? For the Empress
Of the Second Empire never owned a
dressing gown or neglige in her
whole imperial career; In her scheme
Of things the time to dress thoroughly
and completely for the day was when
she got out Of bed in the morning.
Dressings after that consisted merely
in changing from one frock to an
other. never in idling away an hour
or so in the delicious indecision of
becoming neglige.

placed over her shoulders when her
hair was being dressed. We have
met with that sort of thing at the
hairdresser's ourselves and sometimes
wondered. as we beheld ourselves in
more ingeniously conceived to make
woman look her worst than that.
and whether perhaps some hairdresser
would not attract more customers
than he could manage if he conceived
the idea of having a more becoming
way Of draping his customers when
he arranged their hair.
Eut apparently Eugenie never
disturbed herself about it. Doubt
less 1t was matter of principle
with her. Once when her son had
the measles. it is true, she needed
a warm dressing gown while she sat
beside his bed at night. and then she
sent one of her ladies out to buy
something. The lady came back with
a cheap. ready-made dressing sack of
red flannel. and the empress was en-
tirely satisfied.
So II that was the second empire
mode in dressing gowns, it is no won

dress and the others made In Empress
Eugenie spirit are made for the bride
of 1921. II she wears stays at all
they are Of tricotine. and she takes
as great pains to see that every bit of
her undertakings are fiat and bulkless
as If she intended to do an Empire
frock. for the Director still reigns
in the French underwear.
The bridal veil to be worn with
this frock is of tulle formed into a
cap Reld in by a bandeau and a spray
with fold upon fold of the tulle
spreading out about the frock, but
terminating almost a foot above the
bottom of the skirt.
One might think that in this day
when the Spanish lace shawl has come
in for such interesting adaptation
there would be a revival Of antique
white lace bridal wells. And usually
the matter is begun that way. 1t is
quite agreed between mother and
daughter that an antique lace veil
will be used-an heirloom, II possible,
but when one is parvenue this Is
not always possible. However, Is it
not possible to wear some ones heir
loom veil when one can pay the price?
Then come consultations with the
dressmaker. There are sketches for
the bridal gown. and as these sketches
form themselves 1t becomes apparent
that least in the mind Of the designer
a tulle veil shall take the place of the
old lace. Still, that is entirely for the
bride and her mother to decide. But
some time or other before the bride
is actually packed of to be married
that old lace veil is sidetracked for
one of tulle. Purely and simply be-
cause a fresh tulle Is infinitely
more becoming to most brides than
fresher. sweeter-all that bride is
supposed to be and wants to look
in tulle.
One clever way Of arranging the
tulle veil adopted by one or two
Of the dressmakers in Paris is to place
the edges come down over the eyes
almost to the tip Of the nose. The
fullness is then caught over the left
ear with a cluster of white roses and
the long ends drop over the left shoul-
der to swing down the back and left
side.
To be sure, the lace veil is some
times used. though not so often as
one would expect in a season when
black and white lace shawls are used
so much In evening gowns. The ar
rangement of the veil over a comb
or high headdress in the back would
hardly dot would smack too much
Of bull fight pageantry or the second
act Of Carmen
>Somehow we must give the white
lace veil an air of occurrences. and
this is not always easy. Perhaps the
most attractive way that has yet
been devised is indicated in the sketch
where the veil is suspended from
bandeau Of pearls and cluster of
pearls hangssa at either side Of the
face.

THE chief objection raised by
those who feel convinced that
the bouffant skirts of the
Second Empire will never be
revived in the days Of the Third Re-
public Is that skirts so bouffant take
up too much room in these days when
women pack themselves into motor
cars. dance in crowded restaurants.

out of every year either cramped up

but has not yet lost, its fortune. But
for the rest-those of US who have
lost or never had any great favor
with the god of gold-the enormous
skirt of the Second Empire has more
obvious and more disconcerting de-
fects. Imagine it in the subway. in
any Office, behind a counter where
saleswomen have to be sylphs to pass
each other even in our present
planked-shad silhouette!. Imagine 1t
on the golf links. the tennis court.
in the rush hour in New Yorks Wall
street!
And yet there are occasions. For
instance, when one is wed one has
half a church aisle and more all to
ones self. There Is room for the
crinoline that supports = skirt eight
yards around and there is time for
the gliding graceful walk that ladies
in Engenie's time used to regard as
indispensable to gentility.
So go ahead with your Empress Eu-
genie wedding frock If you feel in
clined. There are many of them in
the making for early autumn brides
in Paris and the best dressmakers
have stamped them with their ap-
proval. 1t is the one dress in any
woman's wardrobe that may be chosen
without the sordid question Of later
serviceability attached. No one ever
hopes to wear a wedding dress as 1t
is again. If you are sentimentaliy in
sheets of dark blue tissue paper-and
il you are not, you will find material
enough in its spacious petticoat for
two or three ordinary frocks or
negliges.
But don't imagine that in going
back to the long, full-skirted we'd
ding frock we have gone back to
the hideous custom Of wearing a
high stiff collar to the bridal altar!
Even the most prudent have ceased
to rail at bare-necked, bare-armed
brides. and as the present day bridal
wells are arranged the arms and neck
are partly covered. anyway.
There is a bridal dress that must
have been the outcome Of browsing
back in the fashion books of 1852,
though any bride Of that decade would
have started and stared at any bodice
made to wear over SO enormous a
waistline. And that is really the most
essential difference. The wedding
