Two besutiful costumes for! afternoon weddings are pictured, one in rather simple style but per- ; fectly good taste: the other & costame touching the extreme mark of elegance and formality: for an afternoon atfair of social importance.
There are three layers to this exquisite gowntone of black satin. one of creamy silk lace, and one of ivory chiffor. The chiffon tanic, focse and straight from shoulder to knee is batik tinted in abades of apricot, pale buff and ¦ faint rose and embroidery done with tinted silks emphasizes the design in the lower part of the tunit. Tiny white beads outline deep hem and edge the flowing sleeve craperies, Under the chiffon tubes a draped skirt of the cream lacr, hanging be om the black satin skirt beneath: and the tunic also rises above ike top of the dark slip and is gather «ed in a round neckline. A* & finishing louch the frock, has a very low girdle of crushed satin ribbon in the pale maise shark.; with flat slides of jet to give it weight so that it holds down the soft fabric of the tunic. A black satin bat with dangling jet orna ments under the brim has a long. draped veil of black chantilly lace which adds to the airy loveliness of the costume.
