NEW YORK, June 10.-The bride
and bridegroom are not the only
folk concerned with the smart June
wedding.
The guests consider themselves
OF almost equal Importance. And
they are perfectly right about it..
It is much like the scene of a play.
The bride and bridegroom are the
leading man and leading woman
the stars CT the occasion-but it
would be a sorry performance with
out the other people in the cast.
An unattended wedding would be
as fiat a piece Of business as a play
with two characters, without seem
cry, Or props. OF course there have
been unattended weddings galore.
There have also been two-character
PLAYS. But they aren't the sort OF
thing one cherislles and remembers.
Bride Proud Of GUESS
In fact the modern bride is as
proud of her distinguished guests
as she is of the gala event they
come to celebrate. She would feel
terribly crestfallen if they didn't
dress their respective roles.
OF course it is obligatory that they
should. Not just the immediate
wedding attendants, such as the
maid-of Homer; the bridesmaids;
the best man and ushers, but the
wedding guests, from grandmother
down to the littlest chick of a child.
For the guests of the June we'd
ding of 1880 the most acceptable
thing is the dressy afternoon trcck,
or the smart little suit in the pastel
shade which best suits the wearer.
Chiffons, georgettes, silk romaS
and crepe de chine are the materials
preferred.
Becoming for Mother
For the BRIDES mother what could
he sweeter than the rose beige geor-
gette and alencon lace sketched? 1t
is both simple and elegant. Further
more, it is becoming.
The deep lace yoke both in the
frcnt and the back Of the blouse is
most becoming to the middle-aged
threat. Rose beige is also fiat
tering shade. The deep lace cuffs
add another. graceful note. The full
skirt is formed of circular pieces.
The hat of beige Milan straw is
lace trimmed, and the tout ensemble
suggests just the right dignity for
the woman who is gaining new sen
while accsntuating the fact that the
rides mother is still quite young
ish person.
Worth is responsible for On ex-
tremely smart bolero frock devel-
cped in reseda green georgette. The
neck line of the blouse is trimmed
with deep bands Of iridescent bugles.
The skirt has a double yoke about
the hips which follows the bolero
lines Of the blouse.
Splendid for Wedding
The fullness below the knees is
formed of cores set into the front.
With it is worn a stunning little
resoda green turban and a scarf of
silver fox.
The ensemble makes a charming
outfit for a wedding guest, and has
been among the most popular of my
summer impcrtations.
The silk romaS and crepe de
chine for summer wear show colors
that remind one of a lovely garden.
Among the new pinks are tulip
rouge. coraline, opal rose, opal pink,
and biSque rose.
There is an antique white which
is lovely and creamy in tone. A
new shade of green called leaf
bud" is cool and lovely color. Iris
blue is also found among the lovely
romas, also an exquisite shade of
yellow which the stylists dub sun
gold"
OF course the wedding guests
avoid heavy or somber materials and
colors, which means that the soft
pastel shades they do select furnish
a delightful background for the
stars of the June wedding. Against
them the brides traditional satin is
enhanced in its luminous charm.
