For the Great Day in June

Innovations ln the wedding procession that glveJt a spice of novelty are as welcome as the flowers'in May, so long as they do not get too far away from the conventional. It Is In dressing her maids that the fancy of the bride is allowed play and she may decide to depend upon them to make her wedding a little different from other weddings. Or it may fall to the lot of the maid of honor to be featured In something dlstractingly charming and original, or to even the little flower girl. Some of this year’s June brides are. going to use their tulle and orange blossoms In a new way. All sorts of -pretty caps have been and are used to support the wedding /veil and now Miss Nineteen Seventeen is going a step farther than the cap and have her tulle fashioned into the airiest, simplest and most dignified Of hats. It has a big butterfly bow at the back with long, ample ends of tulle falling from it. The ends of tulle form the .veil and the arrangement is novel and smart. This new disposition of the wedding veil is shown In the picture above. Another innovation that promises to please everybody, has been Introduced for the benefit of bridesmaids. If the bride departs not from the lines of the strictest convention In her own attire, she may allow picturesque or coquettish elements to distinguish the garb of her maids. Instead of bouquets, in kome processions, bridesmaids will carry muffs made of tulle in three or four

pale colors, aspink,blue and green. They are melon-shaped affairs with deep frills at each end, so full that they stand out from the center like the petals of a giant flower. They provide color, Just as bouquets do, and add a bit of piquant frivolity to the joyous wedding pageant.
