Sheer Velvet for the Brides Go1un


Whether the summer bride be ar
rayed in traditional satin or the very
new chalk white lace or the thin-as-
chiffon transparent velvet which Is so
beloved by the present generation, ex-
quisite simplicity distinguishes her
costume.
From her headdress and veil draper
les to her bridal bouquet, every detail
is made to emphasize sophisticated
simplicity. In view Of this fact the
bride is carrying instead Of the
usual ornate shower bouquet, an arm
full Of Gala lilies whose chaste and
classic lines add exquisite artistry to
the picture.
The amazing sheerness and supple
ness Of modern velvet speak eloquent
lySin it's favor as medium for the
nuptial gown. 1t is ivory transparent
velvet of flmiest texture which fash
ions the lovely wedding dress in the
picture. The bodice Of this softly
draped frock is delicately embroidered
with tiny rhinestones.
The tulle veil falls in classic sill
houette from a simple band Of pearls.
The sleeves are long, almost COM
pletely covering the hand and the
skirt is made to touch the floor in
front, and the train Is moderately
long.
For the costume of the maid Of
honor, as portrayed in the center pam
ell, soft orchid mousseline is the choice.
It is made over layer Of self fabric,
with blue crepe de chine slip which
family tinges the orchid mousseline.
Posed over this is little Jacket with
triple peplums which are bound in
orchid. The hat is Of pale blue
starched mousseline, with band Of
orchid velvet tying in fiat bow in
the back.
Gowns for the bridesmaid, model
Of which is shown to the right, are
made of starched mousseline in pale
yellow. The fact that the mousseline
is stiffened is significant in that 1t
adds sprightly touch which Is
charming. The princess bodice has
narrow tied belt of self material. It is
embroidered with tiny rhinestones SIM

How often one goes into home
which is nicely furnished, well-ar-
ranged, and comfortable-except for
the lighting! For long time it was
the custom to place a large center
light In each room overhead and let
every one use it to see what they
were doing. 1t had to serve for read
Ing newspapers, sewing, playing the
piano, doing lessons, eating meals,
dressing, cooking or washing dishes,
depending upon the room and its pur-
pose. Obviously several people in the
same room could not all occupy good
positions with regard to one overhead
light, If, indeed, any of them did.
Some would be in semi-shadow, yet I'M
aware that they were straining their
eyes and enjoying less comfort than
they would have with light distributed
to all parts Of the room.
The essence Of good modern lighting
Is to have your light concentrated
where it Eliminates what you want to
see, without glare. Correct lighting
for one room differs from that for an
other. Buildings nowadays put several
electric outlets in every room so that
lamps may be attached in different
parts OF the room, and still be con-
venient when the furniture is rear
ranged. Even kerosene lamps can be
placed on wall brackets and on stands
wherever their light is wanted
A very bright source of light, whether
electricity, gas, or other illumination,
should be shaded. Clear glass globes
can be replaced by frosted ones
which diffuse the light. Indirect light

lamp shades that direct light down.
ward and concentrate it where it Is
needed are more popular with night

In the living room there may be oc-

that floods the whole room, but many
people at the present time do not
have one. Instead they use wall lights

THE PIG SCHOOL

The pigs all had their stone states
and their sharp stone pencils and were
practicing their letters every little
while.
They were writing beautiful big P's,
for their family name, more often than
any other letter.
Right on time came Peter Gnome,
their teacher. He was wearing tall
green hat and green spectacles on his
nose.
The gnomes had told him that his
costume was rather gay for a teacher
of pigs, but Peter had the idea that
he must impress the pigs with cleanli-
ness and attractiveness-for, as he so
truly said, they would just as soon
wear tall hats and tall boots Of mud!
AS for the fairies who came to see
how Peter Gnome's funny school was
getting along-they came dressed in
soft gray dresses with gray wings and
silver gray wands.
They had said they wanted to look
like little school fairies.
Soon Peter Gnome began his teach
ing. All the little pigs stood up and
recited in chorus the many wise things
Peter had taught them all about; how
clean and neat they should be in order
to be thought well of-and to give peo-
pie different idea than that the very
name of pig meant dirt and mud.
Then the pigs sang their school sing
ing. Peter called it singing to encour-
age them.
But they often called it the Pigs
Bagpipe Orchestra. And some Of the
little pigs had become so proud of
themselves since they had been going
to Peter Gnome's school that they
thought their squeals were every bit
as good as some bands.
After that Pinky Pig got up and

tiers in mud.
But after time it became too great
an effort and the weather became so
warm.
So Peter Gnome said they would all
have summer vacation. He was not
sure whether he would continue the
school in the fall.
The pigs, after all, didn't care so
very much about being wise. And they
said they had nothing great in the way
of a career or future, so why go to so
much trouble?
And there was good sense to that.
