NEW YORK. May 20.-The ma
tion's most popular hero is equipped
with seven new suits and an over
coat for his approaching nuptials
to the much-envied Miss Anne Nor
row-America's typical girl. Angus
tus Lindbergh will be sartorially
correct when the event takes place.
His fiancee has been more secre-
tive in collecting her ,trousseau.
We were beginning to wonder II
she was going to be married In
the familiar collegiate sweater and
skirt. :,
ModisteS were sworn to loyal
secrecy. Anne did not want
curious crowd gaping as she tried
on hats. You can't blame her for
being as averse TO publicity as her
DISTINGUISHED husband-to-be. How
ever. fittings and shoppings are
practically over, and this Interna"
fional News Service reporter was
privileged to view some OF the
selections, or the models from
which she ordered.
Old Ivory Satin Gown
A wedding gown OF old ivory
hatIh has been made by q certain
.exclusive dressmaking establishment
IN town, which, we understand VIII
adorn Lindbergh's bride-h she
doesn't elope in collegiate garb.
It has a long close-but not tight
fItting-bodice and full circular
skirt, short in front and sweeping
Unto q graceful circular train IN the
back. There il a round neck OF
rose point lace. The sleeves are
long, Of course. The waistnne-I
YOU can call 1t that for it is well
below the hips-is jagged and comes
to q point in front.
The most distinctive and original
feature of the simple, but rich, and
lovely gown is the skirt, which is
cut long, train and all, from one
great piece Of satin. So often trains
are attached, like a panel, to the
waistline Of the dress.
The veil is to be of tulle and the
slippers are from the same piece OF
satin as the dress.
The young LindberghS evidently
do not intend to sit by the ftreside
or fly among the stars every night
for he has ordered a full dress
suit and she has many evening
gowns. And what gowns! No wonder
she is an envied damsel.
All without Backs
II they go honeymoon1ng in a
plane, Anne's evening gowns Will
not add much weight in spite OF the
quantity, for most Of them are OF
chiffon and (all I saw, backless'
The bride-to-be must have lovely
back and shoulders.
They now do pretty tricks with
low neck lines, draping the material
to fall in a brief fold to soften that
awkward line where gown and
shoulder blades meet. Her hem
lines are short in front, as all have
been for some time, and trail quite
long in the rear, sometimes deserv-
ing the title of a junior train.
Printed chiffons predominate.
One particularly lovely evening
gown is shaped softly to the fig
ure-not tightly, of course-and has
three tiers or ruffles which start
Just above the knee in front and
widen toward the back, trailing into
graceful fan on the floor. It is
backless and sleeveless. Skillful
cutting and handling Of the drapery
defy copying.
OF the models we saw no color
was favored. Lack Of loud colors
Or bizarre patterns and extreme
styles testify to the good taste of
IGndbarg1's choice, and to- the fact
that she will be a help-rnate and
not a h!ndrance to q man who does
not like to live like conservatory
orchid.
Slowua An Stunning
The clothes were all distinctive

ing features.
Anne's "sport clothes"--that much
abused term for useful, everyday
apparel-will glorify an airp4ane,
however handsome, and charm its
