H Most fasciuatiug among the lingerie H now shown in fashionable shops for the H trousseau arc the filmy garments made H in exact reproduction of some of the won- H dcrful pieces of French needlework which H were included in the w.xrdrobc of Marie H Antoinette and which hac been faithful- B ly preserved so that they may serve as H inodcls for all this sort of handiwork. H Even -the most exacting bride must fnil H to find any1 fault in these fragile creations H Three piece sets made on these Marie H Antoinette designs are of hand drawn H linen of the sheerest quality. The design H of the gown is a very interesting one, for H the two iidcs'arc different over the shoul- H ders. The drapery -of lace which Is car- Hf ried across the bust forms a sleeve over H one arm and over the other it is allowed H to droop off the arm, displajiiig the ehoul- H dcr, as is the fashion in some evening H gowns. The garment is supported on this H shoulder by a straight strap. That part H of the shoulder between this strap and H the falling cascade of lace is entirely H Another fascinating feature of this dc- Hl ign is the apparent looping up of the skirt H or lower edge of the garruenti The left B eidc of the skirt is slashed from the lower dge. the lace border being carried up on Hf both slashed edges and a bow of ribbon wun long enas rasipnj;n ai mc ai.i.-uicu point. ' "V t,' . : All of tIie;Mar'lo Antoinette garments i emphasize thf- nolo, of. daintiness rather i than elaboration! .'.There is not so much : nimmiug, but itiis of the finest, as is all the work on the three pieces. A coqurt- tish touch in the nightrobo is the setting in of a lace motif aboe the heart in a heart shaped design. Tin little chemise is 'extremely simple in design and, like nil i the garments i this set. has as little ma-i tciiul as possible used in its construction.! a characteristic of all the most attractivel lingerie. j rilet lace is now used ns much'on lingerie lin-gerie as on outer garments, and Fome of the most beautiful of the new gowns show this lace employed with lierre, Cluny, Irish or Valenciennes In some of the newest and most attractive gowns there is no hand embroidery cmplojpd. Several kinds of lace furnish the variety needed for working out the design of the trimming instead of the embroidery being used with the lace for rhis purpose The fichu effect is apparent in many of ( the most interesting of the new gowns. In one verj new inojlcl filet and Point de Comyn lace are used to form this fichu. The back of the joke of this gown is quite square and cut very low. The gown has a bo pleat from the shoulders. Although Irish crochet lace has been so much n-cd thnt it can no longer be considered con-sidered as exemplifying the newest fashions, fash-ions, there is still much of it u.-cd for trimming gowns and conrtinn lions, because be-cause it makes such an exquisite contrast to the lighter laces and may also.bc relied re-lied upon to launder and clean so very well, imoroiucreu linen anu Jnsn insertions inser-tions with wider pieces of Valenciennes is a favorite and effective combination both for gowns and the other pieces of the set. Wlicu expense is a matter that must be considered, there aro veiy charming effects ef-fects to be obtained from the mingling of fine hand pmbroidcry and narrow Valenciennes Valen-ciennes lace One of the new Empire mode'ls, than which nothing could be pret- tier for the youthful figure, shows this combination of trimming There is also a new model which, although short waist cd at the sidis and back, has a straight panel pieco down tho front, n design tint is much more becoming to a large figure than the conventional Empiic model. FOR THE BRIDE ---.-AND BRIDEGROOM 1 1 F the bride is quite young in her Into I teens or in her early twenties she should be rather simply garbed in while crOpe dc Chine, in silver tissue veiled with white rhiflon, in white charmeuse trimmed lightly with old lace or with pearls, or in white satin with silver oni broidereil tulle corsage. An older bride, however, may be very gorgeously garbed in soft ivory satin, draped with Honiton , Iaci supplemented with a court train of cli'iTon lined silver brocade; in panne velvet faced while satin cmbroidcied with pearls and trimmed with Carrirk macross lace, in ivory .satin and old RrtihScls; in heavy charmeuse with Mc.'-h-lin lace." or in ivory pauno velvet w.th 'train of old lace draped fiom the shoul-I shoul-I ders. I The first time that a woman is married 'she wears a lace veil if she can afford 'one. ami, lacking that, a veil of tulle. arranged tot cover her face or drawn back from it and pinned to the coiffure in r whichever manner best becomes her type) of loveliness. The second lime she mar irics u woman does not war a veil, but I she need nut wear a hat, although to cover her head in this way is customary The costume of the bridegroom depends entirely upon his age. The middle agi d man j-houhl wear a dark icuna double breasted froek coal known as the Prince Albert, foriy-lwo inches long, full skirled, well ailed (the better to define the figure), finished with broad and strongly peaked, faced lapels and closing with two bullous. The double brcastetl vest, made of the same material as the coat, is cut with a fairly deep opening and has a notched collar, and iho trousers are ol light gray slripcd worsted. The costume of n young bridegroom consists of a dark Oxford single breasted frock coal known as the cutaway. At it longest part this coat measures lhirl. eight inches and its boldly cutaway fronts aro fastened with one button. The vest of matching material is supplemented b the dcini-est (a white trip of pique de-lining de-lining the opening), which never is worn by the middle aged man, and the trousers arc of striped light gray worsted. BotJi the middle aged and the young bridegroom wear either a white or a light 'gray Ascot tic and light gray glacG gloves 'and both carry the curient shape in silk belltoppers, but if a bridegroom goes in for extreme styles ho wears the flat 'biiinmed French tile of silk beaver. These are the correct costumes for a 'wedding taking plucc at any hour before I six o'clock and are worn alike by bride- ' grooms and ushers, i oome Li fective Tddm& Uowns ' A wJ a I ;l 1 The New Skirt Fulness Is j-? .
