styles, may ho either long or short,
according to tho fancy of tho bride.
The little, youthful maiden usually en

skirts.
For materials, chiffon, lace, voile
and net, or satin, veiled "with any one

brides of this particular June. Em
broidery of silver and seed' pearls ap
pears on tho most splendid of wedding
gowns and lace, especially if it be old
ind precious and has adorned the
brides of tho family before, comes in
for worshipful attention.
In the matter of Uic veil, few cap
like arrangements on the head appear
as compared with more, simple adjust
ments. Orange blossoms or jasmine
(lowers make the wreath and some
veils fall over tho face, reuching just
below tho chin or to tho waist line at
tho front. At the back the veil for
tho short dress may fall only to tho
knees.

Uower-trimmed train.
The bridesmaids' gowns are made of
a thin material having graduated
bands of satin around the full, straight
skirts, the widest baud forming tho
border at the bottom. The bodices of
chiffon and satin are made with round
Dutch necks and flounces, lengthened

of jet beads at the end, reaching bo

Why Men Eat More Than Women.
That men eat live or six por cent
moro than women not because they
aro gluttons, but bocaUBO they actually
requlro that much moro nourishment
appears ub a result of an investiga
tion madq In tho nutrition laboratory
of tho Carneglo Institute at Washing
ton by FranclB G. Bonedlct and L. H
Eames, says tho Literary Digest. The
reasop for tho discrepancy seems tc
bo that women havo a smaller propor
tion of active tlssueB than men .ol
the snmo weight and moro Inactive,
material, such as fat, Tho Investiga
tion disclosed that tho average worn
an generates only 1,355 heat units In
tho 24 hours, ns against 1,638 pro
duced by the man, or about two pet
cent moro for tho latter por pound oi
body weight. When groups were com
pared, after careful selection of Indi
viduals of nearly tho samo height and
weight, tho men were found to pro
duco about 12 per cont more heat than
