THE AMBASSADOR FOX TROT.

THE Ambassador fox trot wa named because it is the dance most popular at this. fashionable hotel, where New York's best dancers gather at tea time to introduce the latest steps. See how easily you can learn it. This movement contains

On account of the length of the modern wedding-dress sleeve. only the shortest of gloves are worn. In fact, when the pointed! sleeve that falls over the hand is chosen, there is really no need for gloves at all. If a bride. wishing to depart from the stric path of fashion, decides to add short sleeves to her dress, then, of course the gloves must be long enough to meet the hem of the sleeve.

Few jewels should be worn by

a bride, the most that good taste i permits being a pearl necklace ori & corsage brooch.

Many brides prefer to carry a Prayer-book bound in white vel- fum or a handkerchiaf edged with wonderful lace, to the traditional bouquet of flowers. French brides. never carry a bouquet in church. this always being left outside in the carriage, or else merely being handed to the bride after the cère- mony, so that she may lay it on the altar.

Suede shoes are gradually oust- ing those of satin at weddings.

VARIETIES IN COCKADES.

Cockades are now being made of every conceit- able fabric. Even fes- thers are pressed into service, some very charm- ing effects being achieved by the clever combination of flutes of ribbon velvet, over which fall little tufts feathers of glycerined which takes away the stiff effect of the cockade.

Other cockade trimm - ings show rosettes made of many loops of narrow petersham, joined together in the middle by a narrow circle of gold or silver braid. Tufts of paradise are also worked up to form similar effects, white the feathers of the bumble barnyard fowl, dyed in the the gayest shades, are asod.

Fans, of course, are the ideal finish for evening gowns, and the effect of a large ostrich feather fan of brilliant colour, as an accompaniment to one of the white or black gowns which are so very smart, is charming. Ostrich feather fans are still flourishing mightily, in spite of the war waged recently on them by one of the most famous ar- biters of elegance, though it must be admitted that the campaign has tended to reduce their size to something shorter than the forearm, whereas they were once almost large enough to serve for a thatch to a respectably sized cottage. Another result of the campaign is the appearance of painted fans, some bold and modernistic in design, others of Spanish character, and, most charming of all, the delightful little Empire fans of painted and carved tortoiseshell, and the Louis XVI. fans, with little
