A few suggestions from

VICTORIA CHAPPELLE about clothes for that

SUMMER

HE modern bride, sensible creature, is nothing if not practical. She doesn't fold her wedding gown away in the old oak chest with a sentimental tear. This, of course, may be partly because there is no oak chest, unless it is dis- guised as a refrigerator or a radio. But more likely it is because she is as pleased to wear her wedding gown to its last shred as any of her other clothes,

She plans darkly with her dressmaker at the very first filling as to how she can utilise this precious garment after the honeymoon. So here goes for one or two practical sugges- tions for wedding-gowns-into-evening-frocks.

Flowered Brocade

The

The first one is shown on the right. In flowered brocade or plain faille, or poult de soie, or more, I runsists of a nice Tuli impor- tant looking skirt and a little jacket. whole outfl actually looks like one gown, but when the jacket is removed it can be seen that the top of the frock is made on evening lines.

No one this season seems to have bettered the idea of flowers in the hair for a youthful bride, so this thure is shown with a cluster of them poised on the front of her head, and with the usual yards of tulle veil.

Artist's Licence

The shoulders of the frock in the sketch look a little exaggerated, but that's merely bit of "artist's licence"they needn't be. The fashion for toney-dress at weddings in passing rapidly.

But most brides like something "differ If you prefer, you ent they phrase it. can have a jacket which stops short at the waist with a belt, su that there is no sugges- tion of a basque,

But no bridesmaid thanks you for break- That's why I sug→ ing away from tradition. gest the chiffon gown (over a taffein petti- roat), sketched on the extreme right. With that ruching on the sleeves, the neck and the hem, her long gloves and big hat, she will make as attractive a foil to a pretty bride as is possible to imagine.

WEDDING

HERE IS A TASTY DISH FOR YOU

Skin the kidneys, wash well in salted water and dry. Split them from the core side, not quite through the edge, Fo that the two halves are hinged together. Remove the core with a sharp knife.

Sprinkle the inside of each kidney with salt and pepper and put half a teaspoonful of made mustard into the cavity where the core was taken

halves together agalo.

"Lay each kidney flat on a board and wrap round with two chippolata sausages, joined together.

Fasten

ench with a cocktail stick or small skewer, brush kidneys with melled fat, and grill 4 to 5 minutes both sides.

The Bride can Wear

a dress like the one on the left in ivory or off-white moire or faille with a self-pattern, or she can stick to a plain material. She can wear the whole thing later en for the evening-minus the train, of course; she'll sacrifice this if she values her gown. The veil, chin- length in front and falling to the edge of her train at the back, in more suitable with this goien than any other.

The Bridesmaids can Wear

the dress sketched below in organdie or printed or embroidered stiffened muslins or organza-irhich is a silk stiffened organdie. Black is not usually a shade beloved of bridesmaids, but if she can bring herself to ald a black hat, gloves and shoes to a white or pastel shaded dress-which will be printed or embroidered in a tiny floral pattern--the effect will be charming. Otherwise choose a colour to blend.
