The Bridal Trousseau.

The old idea of providing brides with a score or more of gowns, wraps and bats has quite gone by. Even the fashionable trousseau of today contains no more than a dozen gowns,.if as many. Styles change so fast that by fall the gowns for the June wedding, necessarily made-some weeks before the ceremony, begin to look odd. Some authority has declared that the best dressed woman In Paris buys no more than three new toilets each year, but the opinion may be ventured that she Is altering her last year's supply most of the time. The vast assortments of lingerie have also dwindled. Nobody provides such a multitudinous wedding outfit nowadays as used to be required.—Leslie’s.
