Bridesmaids Garry Pretty
Flower Muffs of Chiffon

BRIDESMAIDS dresses this season
- are not extravagantly picturesque
and even the little flower girls usually
wear dresses of the less theatrical sort.
The note of picturesqueness may be in
troduced by way Of bridesmaids muffs
covered with artificial flowers made of
chiffon or by means Of small hats of a
distinctly eighteenth-century flavor.
Mat lace in soft pastel tone has been
chosen for the bridesmaids dresses of
more than one Fashionable June bride.
White organdie trimmed with blue has
been chosen for others.
A Paris correspondent writes us that
silk crepe or chiffon with a small design
has been chosen for the dresses of
bridesmaids and maid of honor by a
number of the important French brides
this season A dress of this sort, she
says, not only answers for the cortege
but serves as a useful dress for many
other occasions. Besides-and this is
most important-the figures of the fab
ric make other ornamentation unneces-
sary; that the dress may be of classical
ly simple lines without being over
severe,
These attendants dresses are usually
made with short sleeves or no sleeves
at all. When sleeveless. there Is usually
a cape collar or short cape wrap, so
that the shoulders are actually covered.
When plain tones are chosen, two diff
ferent materials are often used, as
georgette or chiffon with taffeta satin
or crepe de chine.
Mothers usually take q deep interest
in plans for daughters bridal dresses,
but feel pang of regret when they
come to choose their own dresses for
the important occasion. In choosing
the daughters dress the mother is liv-
ing again her own bridal days. In
choosing her own she may be depressed
at the idea that her own youth has
slowly slipped away. But such depress-
ing thoughts are not at all necessary
nowadays. and the brides mother. not
to mention the mother of the bride
groom, may easily walk of as the best
dressed woman In the cortege.
Lace is a usual choice for these i'm
portant mother dresses. and it's a good
choice, too, especially if the mother in
question is little heavier than she was
at her own wedding. Gray lace is a
very good choice this season, not be-
cause it is an old lady's color, but be-
cause 1t has smartness that can bear
competition with any of the soft pastel
tones that may be chosen for the
bridesmaids.
We are not at all sure that marriage
in haste means repentance at leisure
Some of the hapPiest marriages we can
recall have been based On extremely

Bright Red Hats Splash
French Fashion Panorama

bright red hats are making a bril-
~ liant splash on the fashion pano-
rama in Paris. They are worn with
navy blue costumes, with black or gray.
Pure white hats of smartly simple
design are chosen by we'll dressed wom-
en- here and abroad to wear with dark
street costumes
You may prefer one of the new Leg
horns which have a smartnesS all their
own and which may be worn now with
the street suit and later on with the
warm weather travel or sports costume
Don't overlook the importance of the
cocktail hat. It's small of course since
it is worn in late afternoon on through
the dinner hour when one dimes infor-
mally in a restaurant. 1t is of smart
design but with a definite softness
about it to make it look well with the
graceful lines of a late afternoon or
evening dress.
For the present hats are decidedly
one sided, with brims that dip down at
starboard and rise, up jauntily at lar
board Hats of this sort will certainly
remain in favor for several months
but there are sure indications in Paris
of a revived interest in hats with per-
fectly straight brimS. These straight
brimmed hats are worn at present very
much over the right side. But we
wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the
small straight hat worn
straight over the forehead later on.
Meantime wells are becoming more
and more popular. They are an indis-
pensable accessory of the very small
hat, serving to keep the hair in trim
condition at the exposed left side, and
now that Spring has come they are
worn with the small very smart straw
sailor
se-fitting crocheted caps of de-
cidedly open mesh have won their way
to the hearts of sports minded women.
old and young And now the crocheted
hat with a brim is making a wide ap-
peal, and is likely to gain new honors
in the realm of sports as the season
goes on It's very light and easy to
wear and the brim provides just a bit
of shade over the forehead and eyes
These hats are made of crocheted visca
or string
There is something very brisk and
distinguished looking about the new
hats made of black pique banded with
white. You'll find them in some of the
stores with wide accessory cuffs OF the
same material ready to pull on over
the cuffs of any simple black dress The
cuffs are msde in various fashions, SO
that they give long, tight look to the
sleeve, or faring look, If you prefer.
Some of them are finished with perky
little tie bows at one side. And some
Evening star., 1932-05-01

of them are made of white pique, lined
with black, like the hat
A new hat that has received no end
OF compliments is made of large black
and white checked taffeta with a black
and white taffeta scarf to match.
Then there are butterfly bows made
of white linen, embroidered with eyelet
holes to give the pattern of the butter
fly wing trimming. These are starched,
and are fastened at the side of the
hat, against the crown-with a band
of punch-worked linen going around
the crown.
Then there is a big hat called the
pancake sailor-that is what Agnes,
who originated it, calls it. 1t Is a
shallow-crowned, wide -brimmed hat,
that gives shade and GOODNESS and be-
comingness for warm Summer days.
The only trimming is a big bow on
the crown.

Flannel Jackets.

I 1NLINED flannel jackets of smart
tailored design are in great de-
mand among well dressed young women.
You can buy one in just about any
color you choose for a very reasonable
price and If you like you can buy a
flannel skirt to match, thus acquiring
a suit that will be most useful in your
Summer wardrobe and at the same time
separate jacket that may be worn
with skirts or dresses Of contrasting
material and color.

Wool Lace Goats.

THERE'S no longer any question
about wool lace coAts. They are
SO practical and attractive that the
only wonder Is that no one ever
thought Of offering them before. You
can wear one Of these new wool coats
over a dress Of silk, linen or cotton at
almost any hour of the day and the
best thing about them is that they shed
dust and wrinkles like no other sort Of
coat you ever saw.

Short Socks.
is =

" "'UMBLEDOWNS" Is the name
given to very short socks for
children. No effort is made to keep
them smooth over the ankles Leaving
the legs above the ankles bare, these
socks are acceptable to children who
might otherwise wish to go stockingless
in warm weather. 1t is a good idea to
get them for your children as they pre-
vent any possible blistering or scratch
ing from the inside of sandal or sneaker
that might dfcur II no stockings were
worn.

//VF had 1t to do over again, I'd
- do differently" said Cousin
Jane on the day of her tenth
Il wedding anniversary. That was
a surprise. because We had AL
ways thought that Jane and Bob were
ideally happy, and for just second or
so we thought that We might have been
mistaken. Until she explained.
You remember Mother wanted me
to be married in conventional white
satin gown, but Bob made the protest
that bridegrooms usually do about the
fuss of formal wedding so I decided
to have just the smallest sort of family
wedding and not bother with a regular
wedding dress l was married in navy
blue going away suit
Later on found out that Bob didn't
really object to formal weddings ard
whenever we go to wedding and see
the bride looking so beautiful in her
long trained dress and veil with the
bridesmaids attending her I feel really
sorry that Bob and I didn't have that
sort of wedding"
There are, to be sure, occasions when
the traditional white satin wedding
gown is out of the question, but there Is
a definite reaction at present in favor

SWEATERS for children and youthful

short sleeves that extend only two or

Sometimes there are two bands with
a narrow puff between.

Hearty Breakfasts in

the immortal diary of Samuel
Pepys, written 40 years after the
Pilgrims had established their col

London table, of course, had great
er variety of food than was avail
able to the Colonists. but their diet
was basically the same.
There were no breakfast foods"
In Samuers time. Fruit juices;
were not considered as having food
value, and were taken on rare oc-
casions as the average person to-
day takes an ice cream soda. Meats
constituted not only the piece de
resistance but practically the entire
meal. He writes: breakfast at
Mrs. Harper's upon a cold turkey
pie and a goose" and "a fine break

meats and other things with great
choice, and strong drinks with
