IN GLOSS OF SATIN AND SHIMMER OF PEARLS

IT) OSAMUNDE, DEAREST,— J jj 'Spect you, like other hopeful young things, have your own §§ jj special ideas as to what THE dress must be like? g g There is always the DREAM dress— isn't there, Dearie? — the g jj "gloss of satin and shimmer of pearls" creation, for the one occasion j§ H on which one may be sure of playing leading lady— sort of final jj .jjj flutter of the butterfly before she turns into a nice, drab, little domestic jj 111 grub— reversing the order of things, so to speak". ' ' M S If one MUST marry, one must do the thing appropriately g m. garbed. §| H One must keep *ih mind the tradition of the marriage ceremony, J I§. look as demure as one may, and present a thrilling spectacle to the g §§ poor. dears who get their sole entertainment from matches, hatches, g | and despatches. . g f§ . In the matter of mere frocks and hats, Fashion may be as fickle m |§ as she pleases, but.'when it comes to the BRIDE, she insists upon jj g stately, conservative, lines. • g g But ONE concession may be made to modern demands. fj g The bridal/skirt may be shorter,. by inches, than formerly, leaving = § the veil and train to give the right note of decorum. S 18--. Think of rich white satin— -nothing has superceded that ex- g g quisite material for the, bridal gown — encrusted with seed pearls m a g g kind of. all-over design! The neck is low, and the sleeves long, and g g the veil of antique lace frames tha face and falls into a billowy train \m g at the back. „ ■■ : g §f The bridal bouquet is lilies of the valley, with streamers of nar- g s row ribbons and tulle, wee trails of orange blossoms accentuating the m m "bridey". effect. g g You may see just how the idea looks by a glance at the picture, p g ISN'T it perfectly SWEET? 1 H Enviously yours, H | ■'.'.■.■ JASMINE. | liiiinini
