FASHION'S LATEST FANCIESC

GOWNS MADE SIMPLE WEDDING GARMENTB ARE NOT BY SPLENDOR. > ’ ■* ; v M; *■-)&£ : t L’ Many Novelties Have Been Evolyed by the Modistes to Give Distinctive Styles to the Dresses of tne Season. Of the making of wedding gowns there Is no end at this moment, and itil. tastes seem to have agreed upon supple fabrics, whatever the grandeur or simplicity of the gown. No texture can be used that falls stiffly, bo If there is a court train this, too, is of the softest satin of silk, lined and wadded for body. Satin charmeuse, which Is a smoothfaced, crushable material of uncommon beauty, is much used, this lending Itself to a certain npaiden sweet-

ness that seems most approprlat# for brides. Every spiecies of lace is used with this fabric and with all others, and used In vast quantities, too, aitd if the dress texture is diaphanous—for there are many frocks entirely of lace, or of chiffon or embroidered gauze—there may be narrow garlands of orange blossoms on both the bodice and skirt. Chalk-white 1s a new tone for altar materials, and a gauge In this may be entirely without luster. In striving for new,and novel cut*, Dame Fashion has been a little crazy, ft must be confessed, though despite

the promptings of common sense soma of her madnesses seem delightfully effective. For Instance, a wedding frock lately made for a bride-elect had a train in two distinct points, and one of these longer than the other! The train was cm up In a V in the back, the two side pieces were then gathered and trimmed each with a big flat rosette. Yet funny as It was, this was most pleasing, though the idea is not one likely to be followed by many brldea Occasionally, a bride decides upon a one-piece frock for traveling, and though the choice is by no means popular such costumes go best with the dashing long coats which are so useful for the honeymoon trip, and which look bo well on many slim young figures, 'y •• -v , f\ One such traveling frock was made after the design illustrated which depicts a dress of novelty wool in blue and black, trimmed with a bit of old red velvet and buttons covered with the same. .A A.-'- . The tucked bodice of thiß costume is very pretty and youthful and tbe rear view of the style shows how easily a high guimpe and longer undersleeves will transform it into a prim street effect But if made high it Would bq. well to have the stock adjustable, for the collarless effect is somewhat more dressy for the train or boat dinners, when a little fixing up Is in order and It is not possible to change the costume. The jabot frill of the bodice is of cream embroidered batiste, and the, skirt model with its narrow front and back panel is one used as much for the house as for the street Indeed, the pretty model Is adapted to a number of little frocks In various materials, and If the bride marries late In October, there is still time to pick up useful bargains in pretty summer materials.. Ail of the darker foulards and thin silksjand the cotton and wool veilings In pale or. quiet colors would develop charming house gowns in this style. & -A;- ;
