If they arc of any fahlouablo pretension whatsoever, the materials Just mentioned are the only textures ever con Bli'.el ed. Ill (tome Instances the kiiwii proper is in tlrcly of the lace, with the wit In train, which Ih of Incredible length, drape. I loosely at the sldi s. Here uml at the bot tom, the "tall" may also be edged with small foIdH or ruchings of tulle or chiffon, and tho plain tulle veil will be drap d mor a Hinall wreath of orange bloss ims. Tlin K'cek succeeding Kasler Is a p lod much Hked here for the tying of fashion able, knots, and the trousseaux ordered for this year palpably display the influences f ancient m'uh-s. Numbers of tal'.-coats V" "' tho oval ones In point appli'iue are moro seen than any other sort. These are not largo enough, and they are, hi rIiIch, con sidered too thick to cover the fnc". They are, therefore, worn away from It, gathered nt the middle upon the head, but a made tulle veil will be divided to hang short at the front, while one of the raw-edged ma terial may be shajxxl upon the wearer. The milliner who Is to perform this deli cate operation comes provided with a bolt of wide tulle, which, nfter the veil is hung. Is clipped at the bottom in whatever lines liked. Numbers of other wedding gowns are, of course, seen Is-sldes those In satin and point lace, and for some crepe do chine and silk fringe produce charming effects. There are also novelty chiffons, delicately stamped with shadowy sprays of lilies of the valley or other small white flowers, a fairy-like effect. Hut a certain statell- swagKer function to come the bridesmaids' toilettes will con-iist of tail-coats in polo gray brocade, with plain gray satin skirts flounced nt the knees with saffron lace. iJouble flounces of this compose the dressy nndersleeves, and the broad brim hats will be of gray silk with wreaths of pink roses and gray tulle strings. What the bride's mother will wear to the church wedding must be decided by her age and appearance. Gray Is much liked by older women, but the well preserved mamma may gown herself In the tints and texture her daughter might wear. If they are merely shaped with an eye to the lines of middle age. Apple-green panne, Iriuh lace nnd diamonds and emeralds composed the toilette of a handsome mother at a recent smart wedding. Still another swag ger church function showed the mother in a gown of pale blue moire and ducheBje, l.Ml'OUTF.l) TKAVKUXO OOWNS AND Dl'ST COATS FOU 11111 KS AUK KIM1M.K. are seen of tht I.ouia genre, huge turn back ruffs and elaborate undersleevos giv ing them a ruche t of Inlefcribable thgance. Then, upon the lurlha of omo bridal gowns, and down the lace fronts of the Fkfrts, tho tiilft satin bows caught down wllh pearl bin kles of iimulo pt-tiods are Veen. These biws are ex icily the sh ipe of some of those ir.iw lul uihui evening fillppers, and I he bodice of the porliu t if many an ls.ii) blle will dl.-.;,lay them. For 0110 tall, fair brldu the altar guvtn bus an entire bodice and aklrt front of point lace, the last in the flounce Bvclious, which would Indicate tho futuie oveitklrt. Scarcity a rklrt is seen that has not some circular trimming or circular chltdm of come sort, and In avvcral larfj a lack shawl or veil will be draped ovir a bridal skirt with a dellnlte ovcrsklrt effect. Oc casionally Ill's ornament Is an h Irlooni, pome precious family pos.--vM.-ion, In which event, of course, the oihr gown miter uU will match Its mellow Ins tint.

The train of the wedding dress Is fre quently made separately, so that tlu; cos tume may be worn ulitrwurds without It Not uncommonly it Ls also padded through out, to produce the heavy look needed, but soft dust ru'tles of chiffon and lace will show under tho edge. For the rest, brid tl etiquette still demands that the altar gown shall be high at the throat, though long gloves may permit elbow sh eves. For the placing of the ring the glove is never entirely removed, the opening is Merely cut deeper so that tha band may be slipped out and the glove In stantly resumed. The lace-edged handker chief is curried In the buck of the prayer book. In tl.o nclt or ut tho front of the dress. At a recent wedding attended by the best part of the smart world the bride wore a gown of white panne velvet embroidered In wheal cars, with tiny crystal beads. At while the bridesmaids' costumes were In pompadour combinations of pink and blue. Just as the French bridal gown is tdmpler th in that of any other country, so Is the French bride's traveling dress less fussy. A traveling gown Just confected by a Frem li maker for an American bride is of an cm h.mtin- modesty. Fashioned of pale brown cloth, it Is relieved by white moire and a loose silk braid. The moire forms the small collar an.) 1 uffs of the tail-coat, which has Mowtns i-'lecvcs and is frogged at the front with lie braid. Ilronze but tons, with tow-he of white enamel, end these as well as the lows of braid upon the full skirl, whose front panel Is formed of pleats. The fetching little turban which will be worn with this toilette i:- of white Panama, with brown and white ostrich plumes. In the same trousseau Is a traveling dust coat even more pretentious, and suggestive of endless comfort. Tills is of thin brown novelty silk, with maice lights and a watei proof finish, some button ornaments of gimp ami nittal giving a dressy touch it the front. The model of this coat Is very loose, as are all of the summer dust coats as yet seen, and a novel point was thj cut ting of the fronts and a little double shoul der t ape In one. A brown and white rough straw sailor was the hcadplere for this coat. It was trimmed with two white gulls, flat across the top, over a wide band of brown velvet, which ran under the side brims. Hrldal lingerie is fixy in the extreme, but handwork and delicacy of texture are its first requirements. Composed of exquisitely line wash materials, lawn, nainsook, dimity and batiste, delightful sets of four pieces urn seen. The cheapest of these are by no means cheap, but their rare beauty and the enduring quality of the work lavished x pnn them Beems to make up for the extrava gance. Very little ribbon, however. Is used upon these charming "sets," which nre im ported, of course. And this Is generally in the shape of necessary draw string, fin ished at necessary points with smnll hows and the most captivating models showing only white. The petticoats, whether In wash stuffs or otherwise, "bouffe" (dressmaker slang) at the bottom to accomodate the require ments of the present outside skirt. A wil low wand of Indescribable lightness or thin whnlebone Is. Indeed, put In some of th silk skirts to keep them out at the bottom, but most makers seem to prefer the exten sion made by flounces. Put at the top tho new petticoats are necessarily tighter than ever, for at this point outside jure pie In creasing, till It looks as If we were renlly threatened with an extinction of outline. Combining charmingly with white wash rcttleoats elaborate with lace nre some dainty bridal wrappers of wool gauze, n pew hot weather texture. These nre In delicate flower tints, with ribbon borders, plain or figured, nnd with wash chemisettes that button on. Chemisettes, by the way, are In again, being a natural accompaniment to the un dersleeve effects, which continue to be seen In greater numbers than ever. Harking back to-the wedding ceremony Itself. It Is remarked that here more brides entry cut roses or other loose flowers than any other species of bouquet. In 1'arls It Is entirely different. There tho bridal bou quet is of an established form a round, stiff pyramid, set in a neat of lace paper, and to be married with nny other sort would seem an eccentricity. During the ceremony the chief bridesmaid holds this tutored emblem, only giving It up when the service Is over. Another characteristic custom is the tak ing up of the poor collection, which is done by two little maids of honor, whose charm ing costumes and silk and ribbon collection bags add much to the charm of the occa sion. The bride's donation to the homeless nnd hungry is the biggest gold piece her family can afford. A little pocket at the back of her white vellum or silk covered pi aver book yields it up, and as she goes out of the church the ragged ones who have seen tho act bless her. MAKY DEAN.
