Nothing so melts our adamant resolutions as a glimpse at the win- dows which are just burstnig» with bridal finery, The spirit .of gajety which ‘sprang up with the coming: of peace has pervaded the trousséaux with even more insistence tan it has other things. ‘lovely lingerie and top clothes is as limitless as it was before the war, and the new Charm of it all is ir- ~ languidly: and without reference to the girl: who.can pick and _ choose resistible. That is all very well for bride who must make a little go a a dwindling bankroN. But for. the long way, who. is perpetually -dress- , ing on “nothing. a year” as one of the foremost fashion magazinest puts it, there are a few suggestions for a spring trosseau which would fill nor- mal needs, an dwhich could be added to if one realfy needed more than is’ sketched. § First there is the suit, which is of utmost importance. — Ror hasn’t it been said and proved that when a man thinks of his best beloved, he mentally pictures her in tailored smartness? ‘Dark blue is,)of course, the safest color to choose and | @._ cae .
