NEW YORK, May 6.--Any smart
girl should be willing to risk the
threat three times a bridesmaid
never a bride" just to wear one Of
this June's bridemaid's dresses.
They are 50 femininely alluring.
60 ravishingly becoming, it almost
looks as if they were out to Guido
the bride, or at least put her on
her mettle to look absolutely perfect
Three outstanding style points
assail the eye in the pre-views Of
this June's wedding professions.
First and newest is the all-white
wedding. Dress the maid Of honor,
the bridesmaids and all the wee at
tendants in the same chalk white Of
the brides gown
Sheer. delicate, exquisite materials
are used for the attendants. The
bride may or may not wear satin,
but the bridemaids never do. They
have either ciinging, alluring chif-
fons, nets, laces, mousselaine de
sole, Or else crisp, fresh organdie
standing out in prim manner.
One Color Wedding Arrives
In all white weddings, the brides
maids carry vivid flowers, perhaps
American Beauty roses or great
armsful Of gay garden posies, in
contrast with the brides white The
maid of honor should mix her bou-
quet, some. Of the brides white and
some Of the bridesmaids colorful
flowers.
The second outstanding style in
noVation this year is the one color
wedding, with the bride in ice blue,
pastel green, pale pink or ivory yell
lov.
Three tones of the color are used
for this type Of wedding procession.
If the brides gown is delicate
green, the maid Of honor is apt to
wear tone at least two shades
deeper in green, with the brides
maids wearing the green just be-
tween the bridal gown and the maid
of honor's. Some rich, wonderful
effects can be achieved.
They Wear Jackets
The third style point and one
that everybodys paying attention
to, regardless of the color angle, is
that little necessary article called
the bridesmaids jacket.
Everybody's wearing one who lines
up to help the bride and bridegroom
through with this promise Not the
maid Of honor She is distinguished
by her lack of one.
But the bridesmaids all have them
this year Often they are trif1es in
contrasting taffeta, boleros, bell
hops, fitted, flaring, peplum, tied at
the waistline with sash ends.
One Of the prettiest wedding par
ties planned for this June will see
the bride in pale pink, the brides
maids in printed pink chiffons, with
pink tulips in their printed gowns,
end the maid of honor in a much
deeper version of the same print.
They can, you see, wear any cos
tunes they want. just so the whole
procession makes a perfect picture.
White Marquisette for Costume
For an evening all-white wedding,
o perfectly adorable maid of honor's
costume is made of the sheerest
white marquisette. with a slim sill
houette achieved by pleating the
marquisette to a very low skirt line,
from which it flares, and using mar
row pleated ruffles at the waistline
and at the hipline.
There is round neckline, out
lined with this pleating and the rear
has a deep u decolletage, also out
lined with ruffles.
Something new and picturesque
In bridesmaids outfits consist of a
6electable peach chiffon dress, made
fuller and fuller by the use of
d0Unces joined to one another.
There is a brand new jacket to
this, quaint, fashioned fichu
cape effect that ties in front and
can come off later to give the girl
en- evening dress.
The hat is the gorgeous blue of
larkspur, banded in peach velvet,
there is a blue vlevet sash to match
the hat, and the slippers are match
ing blue MORE Will, neacb satin
