LACE OR FRINGE.

TRIMMINGS FOR EVENING GOWNS.

One of the questions in the minds of many women is whether they should select lace or fringe trimming for dressy afternoon or evening occasions. Beaded chif- fons have been discarded as warın

One might say that fringe has been done to death. One might also say the same thing of lace. However, neither lace nor fringe seems to go out of style. The woman who likes the Buffy 'sort! of frock will naturally turn lace or to lace-trimmed chiffon and the woman who prefers straight lines will probably find greater satisfaction in the straight- nod gown that is trimmed with tiers of fringe. Fringe is very flattering to the average figure. However, when the atout person uses fringe trimming she should choose the gown that has its fringe zigzag on in diagonal or fashion rather than in straight- about lier effect, as broken lines are more alenderizing.

IS ROUGE PERMISSIBLE AT WEDDING CEREMONY,

Should brides go to the altar to take the most momentous vow of their lives with their faces "made- up#1.

It is a question much discussed at the moment. Sentiment and re- spect for the marriage sacrament lie on the one hand; the natural desire to look as beautiful as pos- sible at such a time lles on the other.

As the brido who washes her face and leaves it to nature is very unlikely to look really well, how- ever good her skin may be, how- aver clear her eyes usually are. A wedding is an ordeal; some girls face it with as assumption of in- difference and some with a dash of audacity. but most of them are torn by a hundred conflicting emotions, emotions accentuated by the atmosphera of excitement among the bridesmaids and solici tude among the relations.

Facing the sun and the cameras of the press photographers and the curious eyes of the crowd with pallid lips, red-rimmed eyes and cheeks without a vestige of col- our or unbecomingly flushed takes a great deal of courage.

Obvious make-up would be just as bad, of course. But the beauty specialist of the day can be relied upon.

"Give me a bride-to-be on the eve of her wedding," one of them said to me the other day, "and she will only need the most delicate touches of powder and rouge and lipstick before she goes to the church."
