NOW that the season has come
to exchange lovers knots for
marital ties, the fancy of brides-to-
be turns happily to a glamorous
picture of billowy tulle and lovely
flowers and wedding array for her.
self and her attendants that shall be
fashioned of fabrics which needs
must tune to the romance and beau
ty of the occasion.
A highly important style mes
sage for brides-prospective is the
wide use being made this season of
airy-fairy diaphanous silk sheers
for the making of the wedding gown
as well as for the bridesmaid frocks
and the dresses of the little flower
girls. There is an ethereal elusive
beauty about the wedding scene that
is carried out in terms of these love-
ly silk transparencies such as silk
marquisette, filmy-as-cobweb nets,
tulleS and chiffons and silk organzas
and mousseline de soies that blend
ideally into the setting of a perfect
day in June or in later summertime.

makes an enhancing picture in her
gown of lovely summary silk mar
quisette. Its youthful princess lines,
its enhancement of decorative lace
appliques and its heart-shaped de-
colletage are in the quantity beauti-
full "Gone With the Wind tradi-
ton. The train is a spectacular
part of the dress that reveals
through full length silk flmy net
veil with lace coronet to match the
gown. The bride carries a seed
pearl prayer book.
Silk sheers are also favored for
attendant frocks as they are smart
for many summer evenings as well
as the wedding itself.
Even the little fowergirrs dress,
also of silk sheer, is selected so
that it can be worn later on for
birthday or dancing school parties.
The cunning child pictured in the

inset is clad in peach silk mar
quisette, the surplice front of which
presents a new line for children's
frocks that is both charming and
youthful. This forms a ruff1e that
is tied in at the high waistline with
a mauve velvet ribbon matching
the ribbon on the pulled sleeves.
Traditional white satin is seen
in many new versions. In Paris,
Molyneux shows sensational we'd
ding gown in broche silk satin with
a lily design. It is of Second En-
pire crinoline silhouette with posies
and sprays of lily-of-the-valley hold
ing the period-draped skirt. In
America, many women are choos-
ing the long, fitted bodice for their
wedding dress as well as for their
street, spectator sports and evening
dresses. One smart version in
white duchess silk satin features
this moyen age waistline with full
gathered skirt and train. Many
brides prefer a gown on princess
lines for its slim reed-like grace.
In silk marquisette as pictured it
is really fit for princess.
Silk net wedding wells are equally
smart in the long or hip length
versions. Often they have caps to
match the dress or the bridal cor
sage. A simple and out of the
ordinary cap worn by recent bride
had peaked crown, the entire head
piece made of closely allover
shirred tulle same as the veil.
A charming suggestion for the
bridesmaids is that of cunning little
boleros fashioned entirely Of fiat
sewed flowers. These may either
match the color of the silk organ
die gowns they top or they may be
in contrasting color. Very effective
also is the bolero that is made of
pastel colored lace worn with the
gown OF silk marquisette in match
ing or contrasting color.

TWO-PURPOSE GOWN
FINDS MUCH FAVOR
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

The tendency these days is to
have a foundation dress with end
less accessory ensembles in reserve
so as to change the character of the
costume to tune to occasion. The
newest entrant into the interchange
able costume realm is the dress of
black or navy crepe which is sold
with a full length detachable front
panel Of pleated crepe in white or
some contrasting color. For the
practical hours of the day the dress
is worn without tie panel and you
can ruiz about town looking trim and
tailored. Or in the office you will
appear meat as a pin" dressed ap-
propriately for business hours.
To keep the bridge date or accept
an informal dinner engagement, you
can don the white or colorful pleat-
ed panel in a jiffy. It fastens up
over the shoulders and there are
ribbon straps and bows to adjust
to make it look like an integral part
of the dress, for it extends from
neck to hem.

Vogue for Pleats Feature
of the Current Fashion

The vogue Of pleats, which is a
feature of the current fashion trend,
is not confined to skirts. A frock
which has its own matching bolero
has pleated section below a plain
square yoke. A skirt-waist dress
with an all-around pleated skirt also
has pleated blouse, the sleeves
being the only part of the frock to
be left severely plain.
The pleated fashion in millinery
is reflected by pleated sashes which
adorn many of the new broad
brinmed straw models and also the
fabric hats which have wide pleated
brims.

Gufey Coal Act
Is Assailed For
Affect On State

RALEIGH, Jan. 3. (UP)-J.
Benton Stacy, director Of the state
division Of purchase and contract,
today assailed the Guffey coal act,
which raises coal prices approx
mately 25 per cent, as depriving
the state of "needed' $4,000 Il
year.
Stacy said the price increase
brought about by the act would
mean an additional cost to the
state of $4,000 for the $50, 1000
tons of coal it will consume, and
added this money will have to be
taken from other funds which
otherwise would be used for
schools, improvement of state in
situations and similar purposes.
'In addition, people are turn
ing to fuel oil instead of coal and
in this way the coal output will be
reduced and the act will really de-
feat its own purpose" Stacy said.
The new purchase division chief,
who took office Dec. Is, said the
increase was "unenecesSary" and
would eventually destroy work
ing conditions in the coal mines
by tying up the coal"
1T will be the miners who will
suffer-" he said.
