The chifi'on tunic extended from ehoijlder to l;nrr» and was girdled in at the hi-h wuislllne under folds of the wlntp satin. There was a court train which iiuii" from the shoulder and which, though attached to the skirt at the back, was really guito separate from it. 'these court trains are not only statelv and graceful, but they are reallv a verv practical feature; for by and by. wheii the l)rldal dress is transformed into a din- tier or dancing frock—as most wedciinir gowns are more's the pity, after a sea son or two iu their original estate—the heavy court train may be removed, leav ing the conjplcte gown for use as a foun dation slij. over which to drape chiffon or ^olll(; other diaphanous fabric The satin used for the long court train will also come into service as a rich lining for an evenint: .oat, or for some other equally good pui-pose. A C'nntnine DoMlsned by Worth. The hraiitlful bridal dress, pictured on toclfly’s page, was voted by a commission 'r & Ciotn of. Gold Innocen.t 7 now tlie Fad in "Bp ides maid'3 rpcck? rather primly in cartwheel effect with an edge of green leaves were attached to the ribbon band over the oars. This gave a quaint, bonnet effect on the head, from which the long folds of the veil streamed out most gracefully at the back. BrldesmaJtl.s’ Prock.s in Green nnd M’hite. Green seems a queer color for a wed ding, but since the Gould-Deoies bridal j in early February greeu and white h.is ! been the fashionaljle wedding color i scheme. At this wedding the church was i 0 veritable hanging garden, the walls be- j ing banked with green, against which ' was the starry wh-ito of small blossoms, nnd feathery sprays of lilies-of-the-valie.v depended from the ceiling on long trailing arm a sheaf of pink merruet acd maidenhair fern. Seven bridesmaids nil dref?'e;l ' gre now preferred to sis bridptiuia..:-^ and a maid of honor. There is luk .. . .on, so the saying goes, and this rjRy a roUat for tile new notion. AVhlte Sergre “Trnvelin^’ •‘nhn, ^Yhat is called hy popnlnr ■ , . 5 th« ‘‘travelinff suif’ of the bride or 0 ing-away” suit Is really, of i-;r ... nut a traveling suit at all.

The gown is a creation of Worth, who has for years been the favored couturicr of those seeking distinction and elegance In dress rather than eccentric or conspicuously novel effects. The gown was made for a young and beautiful lady of title and the whole costume—gown, veil and small ac- ces.sor.les—embodies absolute perfection, according to highest authorities In dress. This wedding gown is made of the new supple, very soft satin and this is mount ed over a foundation of even softer and much thinner satin. There is a court simple little while frocks, with tw'O chiffon tunics failing over soft white Fatln, the satin petticoats .iiist jjraggtng on the floor all arotind, and tho chiffon tnnic:-, being sprinkled with tiny wliite satin rose.'^ set in gieen leaves. In their hair the !)r-idesniaids wore garlands of green leaves, and as all of the young women had d;;rk iresses this garland effect was benntiful. The maid of honor and the two little flower girlg who at tended the bride were also dres-ied iu white chiffon, with green garlands in their l;air. The effect of this leaf green with the white chilTon, in combiaation with the feathery white of the church decoiation, was indescribably delicate and lovely. Xo more beautiful wedding has ever been known in Now York. Picture Hride.sninidw. There is more and more tfudency to get away from the conventional pink or i)ale yellow Liridesn.aid idea. The bride who wishes her wedding to be individual and interesting now scours the field of art for an idea in bridesmaid costumes that shall be different from anything thought of by any previous bride. Soma of the brlde.-^maids at recent weddings have train which has the stipulated nlne-feet- ■ looked as though they had stepped dl- on-lhe-floor length; but the skirt of tho ' rectly from old pii’tui’e frames to lake gown is straight and simple, fitting the fig- ■ part in the ceremony, and some of these ui-e closoly at the hips. The material of | quaint costuraes are very beautiful. Many the skirt is carried up to form a draped of this year's bridesmaids have worn the bodice which crosses In surplice etTect i little lace trimmed caps which have proved over a yoke of white shirred chiffon, the \ go becoming that their popularity is as- shirrings forming tiny tucks in groups of ' sured for another season at least.

The construction of this bouquet witli the spray of lilies Avired separately and mingled with muidenhair fern. Is especially delicate and lovely. Miss Vivien fJould on her marriage day. .'ari'i.'d a long sheaf of :i‘^i-ension lilies, tied witii white s:;tin riblwin. hf-r bridal gown Ijoing embroi dered with til':' same kind of lilies. This : lily sheaf, while undoubtedly an innova tion in the way of bridal bouquets, had : too much of a funeral suggestion to be ^ really a success, and It is unlikely that the sheaf of asci^nsion lilies will super- : oele the l>oantifiil lilies o£ the valley in favor lor weilding use. There is a fad. jtist at present, for the carrying of a bridal i)rayerbook instead of the large bouquet, and it is true that till' small prayerbook, carried between the : clasped hands, gives the young bride a ' devout and sulilly spiritual suggestion that even the richest floral bouquet cannot . equal. Itridal prayerhooks are bound ia missal Ktyl(‘ in pure white leather, or iu bright scarlet leather, and sometimes, from between the pages of the wedding service, hang long hookni.ark si reamers of narrow wliile satin ribbon tipped with I lily of tin- valley sprays. rosettes of chiffon and knotted ribbon. It takes a very pretty and a very tiny foot, however, to stand the test of a big slipper bow and the woman who really cares about the appearance of her foot beneath her bridal robes will not risk the more or less clumsy rosette, but will wear one of the smaller ornaments that do not j break the line of instep and toe. Wedding stockings, whatever else In the costume is sacrificed, should b‘ of the finest tliread silk. There are bridal stock ings, hand embroidered aud inset with lace that cost as high as a hundred dol lars a pair, but the average bride will be satisfied with dainty thread silk ones with a bit of embroidery on the instep, at five dollars or less. A wonderfnl pair of weddfng stockings, brought ov^r from Paris for an April hride-lu he, were di.s- played to some women guests at a hinch- eon the other day. Thesi> -tockings were of the sheerest, finest pos.sibl*. thread sill; and from toe to within si.x Inches of the knee ran n long inset of real Hrusseis point, the design showing a winged cupld aiming iiis arrow upward al .-i liearl. 'I'lie heart, wrought most bea 11 tlfully in crossed stitches on the Rrussels net ground, was surmounted by two love birds and all around the design ran a border of true lovers’ knots. Sl.'t hundred francs had been paid for the stockings, including the custom-house duty.

'I'he long, close sleeves are also of the shirred chiffon, but the surplicc draperj- cf the bodice comes far down over the shoulder, giving the long line considered desirable Just now. The bodice Is embroidered with tiny pearl beads and there is a very little pearl bead trimming, used as a finish. Where the surplice bodice closcs. at the left side there is a cluster of orange blossoms, part of the blossoms drooping over the skirt. More orange blossoms are used to catch up the folds of the veil and at the end of the court train the veil is caught again with the tiow(!rs. A 15etM)iuiiiar Arrnn,!fenient of the ■\VeddiiJs- \eil.
