GARMENTS FOR BRIDE

THEIR SELECTION A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE. * Going-Away Suit May Be Made to Do Duty on Many Occasions—Always Well to Include One Costume of Serge. For her silk going-away suit, the bride may choose shantung and pongee, and assure hereelf thereby of a most satisfactory garment. A simple blouse will make this suit exactly what she wants for a shopping expedition, and a smart frilly one will make it appropriate for a luncheon -on a matinee. If the "silent colors” are not becoming to her, she may consult the sample books of faille and ottoman; and if she wants the newest thing of all, she will take grenadine or voile. A white net blouse, quite plain but for a frock of tiny plaited frills at neck and wrist, is an attractive novelty. There is great piquancy of effect in its black Stock-ribbon bound around the neck between the feathery ruffles. It is well to Include a serge suit in one’s outfit for the really chilly weather that sometimes happens in the best regulated summers, but it need not n«ceßsarily be a brand new one, unless

one likes. A one-piece dress, dark and serviceable, for a day’s traveling or shopping will be found useful; and the new redingotes of silk, which completely cover a gown, are the latest thing in daytime wraps. In the evening, the bride of 1915 will want to envelop herself in a cloud of pale colored tulle, with a pointed taffeta bodice, or turn herself into a sort of walking morning glory flower by her flaring skirt of taffeta or gros de londres. A pair of gold slippers to wear with her short-skirted dancing dress will be found a sensible investment. They are expensive, it is true, but they

go well with all the pale colors thac are fashionable for evening, and they are a good deal more economical in the end than slippers and stockings to match each gown. Evening wraps are simply ravishing—-voluminous affairs of coral, turquoise or purple silk, lined with chiffon, edged with Georgian ruches and decked with silver embroidery, or trimmed with white fur. A white fok neckpiece to wear with them would make a gift for which any bride would be pathetically grateful. Hats are always important, for they can make or mar the ensemble. Por traveling, the bride should make her head as neat and trim and as small as possible. When she reaches her destination she may let her headgear be as large and frivolous as she pleases. Wide sailor-shapes in howery cretonne and tussore colored to match the silk wreath are charming with white clothes for mornings. For afternoon, there are the transparent fantasies in black, white or pale colors, or the old-fashioned leghorn wreathed with flowers and ribbons. Sports hats are seen in supple hemp or tucked and corded silk. If one is really serious, there are practical affairs in panama and soft felt. White kid hats are new, if rather heavy. The all-white or all-black hat is always a good choice. (Copyright, 1915. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
