Navy blue is the color chosen in this

broidered on both the bodice and

rather scant and is formed of
wide box pleats, each plear being
embroidered at the top and through
the center with beige mercerized
cotton. On the bodice the en-
broidery is in the form of broad
vest extending to the shoulder
seams. The embroidered motif at
the top of each pleat extends onto
the bodice and entirely encircles the
figure.

Rare Lace Strewn
With Orange Blossoms

This clever French woman told
me most enthusiastically of veil
she is making for a small bride who
has a rare and beautiful piece Of
lace about a yard square which she
is most desirous of using. She is
going to drape this square from the
shoulders diagonally so that it will
hang to the floor without forming
the train. She will then attach two
strips of silver ribbon about twelve
inches in width to the top of the veil
at either side to form a border. The
ribbons will not be sewn but caught
together where they touch the, floor
and allowed to form two narrow
trains about two yards long. Tiny
punches Of orange blossoms will be
scattered here and there over the
veil. This is to be used for a sum-
mer wedding and will be very charm
ing for a small person, being type
of veil that will give height to the
wearer.
A reaction from the fiat arrange
ment of bridal headdress that has
been the mode for several years ap-
pears in the tendency to wear the
veil draped high on the head. This
inclination provides many sources
from which to draw inspiration. For
instance, there are the picturesque
headdresses of France. And in
Brittany and Normandy alone there
are almost as many different shaped
caps and modes of wearing these
caps as there are villages.

that the smart Parisienne
this time may place the stamp Of
her approval on the truly summer
dress of lingerie material or novel
ty cotton. A we'll dressed French
woman can only consider her frocks
made of these light and summery
fabrics as suitable to be worn at the
races in June and July, at Deauvills
in August, on the tennis court, or
around the tea table on the lovely
lawns surrounding her chateau,
where she spends few weeks and a
slightly larger number of week ends
that can be spared from pressing
social duties elsewhere.
Despite the limited number Of
women who wear such dresses on
these hardly frequent occasions
every spring, in all the big collec-
tions decided number of this type
of dress is shown The French
woman seems to consider any sum-
mer event and all sports from Pc
culiarly social angle, so she has not
great use for this simple summer
frock so beloved by her American
sisters.
Elaborate Costumes Vie
With Simple Dresses
WHEN she does find q real sum-
mer dress, which she considers
fitting for one of her complicated
midsummer afternoons, one can
rest assured that it is very beautiful
with distinct cachet and truly
French charm; charm perhaps in
intricacy of cut or detail or in a
daring and successfully mannish
simplicity. And like a paradox the
l:Gore fancy dress will most likely
be seen f1uttering under a parasol on
the shady side of a tennis court
while the simpler frock will stalk
boldly into busy group around a
tea table at Deauville.
am showing to-day sketches of
dresses OF this type made by the
greatest French dressmakers. They
have met with the complete approval
of their designers and makers. They
already have had most successful
outings, thanks to the American
woman, who has worn them in Flor
ida, in California and at the Country
Club, weather permitting.
In spite of the fact that the we'll
dressed woman on the Riviera
wears summery dresses and sports
clothes, they are considered more in
dicative Of the transition period be-
tween seasons than they are of a
positive announcement of the themes
and variations for the Forthcoming

Cotton Dresses Rich In DesiQ
The Bridal Veil

$HE correct way to draps
Il wedding veil is matter puz-
& zling many bride-to-be at
the present moment. Al
though there is so much to be OBJ
served in the way Of following tradi-
tion at formal wedding, this is
one point on which no rule need be
followed. There are almost as MANY
ways of draping a veil as there are
brides.
In the dressmaking houses of
America, both large and small, head
designers and little sewing girls aye
equally busy just now working on
bridal costumes, some Of them
simple, others elaborate, but all Of
them lovely.
The best firms making trousseaus
seldom use lace veil unless ths
bride has some handsome lace which
for sentimental reasons she wishes
to use. The tulle veil is the one in
favor. These are made very long.
very voluminous, and always have
trains.
Flattering, Indeed. Is
A Shower of Tulle
TULLE, while extremely fattering,
has not become the fashionable
material for wedding wells for this
reason but because of the scarcity
Of good lace. Fortunate indeed is
the modern bride who has access to
chest of ancestral laces. She who
has not may well envy the lovely
Tuscan brides of the Renaissance,
whose dover chests contained Iaces
handed down through several gen
erations. Many Of these were woven
in castles or manor houses in the
days when even queens worked at
this beautiful and fascinating art.
Or perhaps they had been years in
the making within the walls of some
convent.
But not at all unfavorable con-
trast is seen between the bride Of
1921, with her simple airy draperies
Of tulle, and the bride of long ago,
when her magnificent train, over
which fell elaborate lace wells Of in
estimable value, was carried by lit
tie pages. An eminent French de-
signer, who has established herself
IN this country and specializes in
wedding dresses, when interviewed
regarding the way in which she in
tended to drape wells for this Sum-
mers brides, spoke of the futility Of
having any particular idea in mind,
because when it came to carrying
out special idea it might not be
at all suitable and becoming to an
Individual bride.

PARLIAMENT HOUSE
 RESEMBLES BIG zoo
{By the Associated Press)

London, Aug. 20.-Westminister where the British Parliament sits, re- gently has assumed the appearance of the approach to some geological gar den or animal show, much to the amusement of the passersby and even to dignified members of Parliament who have not been able to resist the temptation to stop and look on.
 It all came about through the de- bate in the house of commons of a bill intended to prevent cruelty to trained animals. Aroused by charges that trainers universally employ harsh measures in teaching their animals to do tricks on the stage, the trainers themselves have made combined as- sault on the gates of Parliament. Some of them have been admitted to give testimony before a committee, but none has succeeded in introducing his animals because of a ban placed by the speaker.

Business houses of the city have contributed about S100 for the purchase of suits and other needed equipment, and the canvass, which will be continued is counted upon to bring in enough funds to set the squad on its feet as the season is started.
 Letter men to report Monday be- sdes Captain Smith are Russell Char les, Elvin Burns and Reginald Whid- don. Caudle Julian, halfback on the eleven two years ago. will return to school, and his coming will strengthen the combination. Little Rock high school at Little Rock will be the opening game for the locals. Other games scheduled or thought possible will be with Van Buren, Fort Smith, Morrilton, Russellville, Benton and Lonoke.
 The high school boys are going to make a strong bid for Conway's sup port this season as the "home' team and will fight hard to win. The gen. erous financial support given the team by business firms speaks well for the place the boys hold locally.

 Some of the theatre managers promptly said the scheme could not be carried out because there were not enough seats in the first eight rows
