NEW YORK, April 23.-What to
be married in when you don't want
an elaborate church or home we'd
ding is the question before many Of
this springs brides.
There are those girls who can
not bear the ordeal of huge church
or home wedding, the tremendous
tax on mothers strength, the strain
on 1ather's purse. There are the
sophisticates, the young women try
ing their luck at the altar the sec
ond time, TO whom both the for
maltty and the connection Of a big
wedding are distasteful.
Both have somewhat the same
problems, though their choice of an
parel will differ. Both are likely
TO decide on May wedding, to be
one jump ahead of the lure Of roses
and June moons. Both really want
a wedding outfit that can step into
the train, airplane or auto or on
to the boat and start right off on
the honeymoon, without change.
And, incidentally, both are apt
TO incur the gratitude Of their bride
grooms, for what man on earth ever
really yearned for big, elaborate
church wedding, with himself all
dressed up in cutaway and striped
trousers?
Plenty of Choice
If you are to be a May bride,
married informally in your going.
away costume with no attendants, or
just one friend to stand by, you have
all the choice in the world among
the daytime things worn this year.
You can have lightweight suit
OF wool, with pretty lowered blouse;
you can have printed or plain
frock with a short Jacket to top it,
OF matching or contrasting mate
rial; you can have a dressy frock
with unlined spring coat; you can
have a pastel colored silk suit or
printed crepe frock and plain coat.
Whatever your choice, don't get
too practical an outfit Soft grays,
delicate beiges, the new leaf greens
and elegant soft blues all seem fit
ting for the spring bride. Besides
your costume you will want chic
hat, bag and shoes, and gloves long
enough to wrinkle down in the new
easy and smart manner.
If you are little youngster, prob
ably holding down job or about to
start career of your own in addi-
ton to marriage, a dainty suit would
be tremendously appropriate. With
a corsage Of spring flowers you will
look every inch the bride and make
your new husband infinitely proud
of you. Moreover, you will have a
most useful costume in your we'd
ding outfit.
Suit Of Sheer Wool
A singularly spring like suit IS
delicate gray sheer wool suit made
with a blouse and coat lapel fac
ings of a jonquil print on a leaf
green background.
The skirt is beautifully cut with
swaying fullness from the hips and
the little jacket jaunty with belt
at high waistline and a slightly
flared peplum. The blouse is
shirred up the front, basque-like,
with a becoming v neck and tiny
cap sleeves, also shirred in feminine
manner.
The coats lapels ripple like jabots
and, being faced with the jonquil
print, make gay addition.
With this a black soft milan hat,
with a fornaliZed flower under the
brim, is young and becoming. A
black bag, piped with white, opera
pumps of dull black leather, and
gloves to match your suit are at
tractive accessories.
You should have handkerchief
either in the yellow or the green.
of the blouse's colors.
Brown for Bridegroom
Your bridegroom might go in for
one of the new brown and white
ensembles that young men seem to
fancy this spring. This one has
double breasted soft worsted suit,
with the coats lapels made with a
deep roll. The snap brinmed hat
is matching and the tie is of brown
and white Chinese silk print The
gloves are brown.
If you are sopfisticate, and pos
sibly having your second wedding,
you will want a suavely elegant out
fit, seemingly simple and guileless,
but actually packed full of charm.
A flesh beige crepe ROMAN, made
with the flattering Vionnet neck
and bias cut throughout, belted
neatly with the narrowest of self
landings, and topped by bur-
gundy velvet jacket, would be just
the outfit to wear both for the cere-
mcny and to look your best in when
