I. RECITAL valyn Wood worth, an i of Mis? Elsie Stokes, rt-f at Queens Col fo Pilot says The wedding gown chosen by the war time bride of the Wrhite House, of plain white satin with heavy lace was conventional and handsome, but it will scarcely set a precedent for the average American bride who prefers something lighter and softer. We have moved away from the idea that satin, and satin only, must be chosen for the wedding gown. In this, as in many other things, we have not been held by tradition. There are brides who wear silver and gold cloth after the manner, of the brides of the Medicis, but this is not to be advised. Satin is always good, it is true, but it Is warm looking for the heated days of May and June, and it is in those months that the majority of nup tial events occur. The newer idea of using crepe de chine with an emboss ed satin ttguie has been cordially ta ken up by many fashionables, .and the older, but entirely satisfactory idea of making the gown of tulle over taffeta and satin has been reinstated witk excellent results. We have put ourselves in the .way of wearing tulle for even ordinary occasions against all protests that it is perishable, and h?.ve found so much to our liking that ve are in a fair way to employ it for gowns, blouses, hats and wraps as long as the warm weather lasts. Therefore, it is not surprising thai we indulge in it for wedding gowns which are rarely called upon to serve many hours. This treatment of this gown, by the way, is an economical mistake, and one of the most potent reasons for the error being made is the choice of a' fabric that is top hea vy for ordinary use. Modern satin is much lighter than the satin of five' years ago, but it hap pens that it is not in fashion at the present moment for any other than a wedding gown. So if one wishes to wear it, there must be a readjustment and an addition. Tulle Wedding Gown. Another tradition that has gone by the board is the necessity for a train on a wedding gown. A bride can use her own judgment about it. but as a rule it is better not to omit, except in cases where the event takes place most informally at home. A church wedding calls for a traiu, also a home v edding where there is much cere mony observed. ( The White House bridal gown had an adjustable train, Avhich is an idea to be recommend, for It can be lifted for any event where dancing is indulg ed In, and this feature of present-day life must be reckoned with, no matter what the serious-minded folk say. Pa renthetically be it added, that most of the serious minded folk are too busy dancing now to take the time to ex plain away their, first antagonism. But tulle, you sa3', is not advisable for a season of dancing. Why not? All materials are damaged by. this fe verish pastime and tulle is the one most easily renewed. It is extra wide, md it is adjusted overnight. It needs little sewing, as a few stitches will serve, and theie you are! One wants a foundation of the soft est taffeta over which the tulle is drap ed in any butterfly fashion one ad mires. Even the train may be built of this tulle if it is balanced with a border of lace. The bodice should be half high with long sleeves of tulle KITCHEN i SHOWER. In compliment to Miss Estelle Glenn, whose marriage to Mr. S. M. Strange takes place Tuesday even ing, Mrs. J. O. Mosteller gave a kitchen shower Friday night. The bride received many useful gifts for the pretty home of which she is to be housekeeper. LIBRARY NOTES. By The Librarian. '. .- .'!. -'- -Vj -.- c . r -.v' c " rt r - -, ", ? p .r v .

NOSE-TIP VEILS The nose-tip veil Is the latest arriv al in London from Paris, says the Lon don Mirror. This veil Is so named be cause when arranged around the hat it covere the eyes and reaches only to the tip of the nose. There has recently been a decided revival in the wearing of veils, and the nose-tip veil is the latest development in the fash ion. It is contended that this veil is more convenient for women when making afternoon calls; there is no need for th untying or the ruffling up of veils if one wishes to take a cup of tea. Black nose-tip veils will doubt less be the most popular, but the most fascinating nose veil is of white lace. The newly revived white sailor is a very convenient hat on which to ar range the noso veil. ASSISTED THE SHRINERS. Bessie Dewey.. Pro Re Nata... Research.. .. Richard Tiddy. Sorosis.. .. ..

C, in May 18, J862, passing his .early days in that section of the- state!. Mr.' Daniels1' was educated at-"Witson7 N. Collegiate Institute, where he was a diligent student and made many lasting ac quaintances during that period. To North Carolinians he has been best known in later years as editor of The Raleigh. News and Observer. He has also served as national democratic committeeman and has for years been a political leader in this state, a man whose counsels were always sought. The following is a pen sketch in The Washington Post, printed shortly after Mr. Daniels assumed the office of secretary of the navy at Washing ton: "Josephus Daniels, the new secre tary of the navy, is one of the plain est, most home-like men who has ever held office in the "national capital He comes from Raleigh, where he owns a profitable newspaper and where he is regarded as one pi the leading citizens. He has aspired to public office ever since he learned to vote and several times he has come very close to having has ambition realized. He isaust passing the fifty year mark, buttle is youthful in ap pearance and action. For 20 years he has been a tireless worker in the democratic, vineyard and he has work ed just as diligently and faithfully when nothing but disaster, has loom ed ahead as when victory seemed a Dossibilitv. In many campaigns he has had charge of the publicity end of the campaign. He was chief of the publicity bureau during the recent campaign and it was understood that for his efforts he would be properly rewarded. He is perhaps the most typical southerner in the cabinet, al though the spirit of the southland is strongly reflected in Messrs. Burleson, McReynolds and McAdoo, all of whom were reared in that part of the nation He began his career as a newspaper worker and while still a young man he acquired the paper which employed him. He put many new ideas into ef fect with the result that his paper quickly became a success. He is not a man of wealth but he has plenty of means to enable him to spend four years as a cabinet officer and to main tain all the traditions of that office. He has a delightful family. Mrs. Dan iels and the boys, two, will reside In Washington." . at SUMMER SUITS This group of wool crepe and silk poplin Suits will stand any comparison you choose to make, and we do not believe you will find such values anywhere, they are really worth $22.50 and $25.00.
