<43 HERE has been a remarkable I
~ change in the attitude of brides
~ toward their trousseau costumes.
w. The bride OF a generation ago
could not have her clothes mature
enough. Youthful frills and furbelows
were cast aside in her forward gaze
toward the dignity OF matronhood.
Maybe she went back 10 some OF the
frills and burbelows in year or So
but everything for her trousseau had
10 be stately and extremely grown-up
Trains became her proud privilege
along with her brand NEW wedding
ring, so she had all the trains she
could in her trousseau: and the cos
tunes had TO live up to the trains in
dignity.
What a difference todayi The mod
ern bride cannot have her clothes
young enough. Even her wedding
gown-though of course IL boasts the
traditional train-is no longer In the
skirt than n flapper's frock. Her hats
are youthful and her little summer
dresses are quite suitable for sweet
sixteen The present generation OF
girlhood has learned one thing. To
value Its youth. Any modern girl
knows exactly the worth OF her youth
fuinesa-
And when she enters the estate Of
matrimony. she emphasizes this quail
ity more than ever. Wen she knows,
this canny modern maid. that she has
twenty years OF youth ahead OF her

standard-where her mother retired

at thirty. and her grandmother con

hood at forty.
June Bridal Gowns Show Much Lac,
The wedding costume pictured 4
stately enough for anybody's require
mentS--all except It's length. Blu
short frocks are so much the ruli
now that a really long wedding gowI
would look quaint rather than cor
rect; and. of course. the flowing tralr
and the veil add sufficient dignity Rnc
stateliness for the occasion A very
beautiful wedding costume IL pictured
and like most OF the June brida, cos
tunes. It shows a deal OF flmy lace.
The heavy satin train has been quite
done away with and instead there Is a
train OF net lace edged with narrow
sweeps the lace veil. The foundation
Of the gown Is Of bridal satin In the
favorite ivory white tint and there Is
a basque bodice Of satin draped over
an under-bodice OF crystal embroid-
cred net like that in the tunic. Sleeves
have been eliminated from June we'd
ding gowns. but as In the matter OF
the short skirt. so many frocks now
have very short sleeves that the effect
Is perfectly In accord with late fashion
decisions. Long white gloves are in
oispensable with the sleeveless frock
and the third finger OF the left hand
has TO be ripped open-just as IL used
TO years ago-so that the bridegroom
can put on his ring. Afterwards the
glove finger Is reserved.
Honeymoon Clothes Include Sport
Wear
The June honeymoon trip calls 10
outdoor clothes as we'll as for a smar
going-away travelling costume and IN
pretty frocks for hotel wear. Th
winter bride does not have 10 provid
sport togs but they are an essentis
OF the summer trousseau. The Jun
bride, however, can economic on fol
NAL frocks and evening frocks an
can put the money thus saved INT
her sport outfit. A charming sem
sport costume. just the thing for
honeymoon trip. Is pictured. It is
simple, informal little tailored froc
worn with small hat OF suitable typ
and with outing shoes. This littl
