MOST pressing of all messages for advice these

days came from a friend who is going to be married this Spring.

"I've only so-much to spend on my wedding gown and my going-away outfit," she wrote, "and yet I don't want to have them made by any old dress- maker.

"Do you think a good dressmaker could do them for the price?"

AFTER a good deal of advice, she ordered not only the lovely bridal gown and the going-away outfit you see in the sketches, but has chosen the other" model for her three bridesmaids. Her frock is in. pure white, and the bridesmaids' frocks will be in white with daffodil yellow.

DON'T you think this makes a lovely spring colour

scheme?

The wedding gown is in softest lace (clever copy of a real Brussels lace), and it is cut on very slender lines, with a full sweeping train.

Note the perfect fit of the sleeves, which are wide at the shoulders and taper towards the wrist. Don't you like the really pretty and becoming neckline, which is finished with a dainty bunch of orange blossom?

[An Endurance Test

Of course, there are occasionu when "I don't mind" is sald out of purely worth-while and sensitive mo- tives.
