THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON D. €. MARCH 4. 1928— ' PART - © Quaint Costumes to Be Worn by Spring Bride’s Attgnda‘pté’ BY MARY MARSHALL. ICTURESQUE without being the- N atrical—that is what the Spring ¥ brides are trying to achieve in o making plans for their nuptials. I don’t want to look like a me- tion picture actress getting ready for a wedding set, and I don’t want my brides- maids to ook as if they were all ready for a costume ball, either,” a bride- to-be explained to her dressmaker the other day. “But I do want the wedding to be picturesque and distinctive And being a thoroughly up-to-date young woman with a mind of her own on such matters. she didn't wait for sug- gestions from the dressmaker. but went on to explain exactly what sort of frocks she wanted. Among conservative Frenchwomen ‘there has always been a tendency to re- frain from more picturesque effects in the bride’s costumes. This is, I suppos because the religious ceremonial aspect of the occasion remains most important to most Frenchwomen. And no thoroughly French young women of the better class ever wants to wear a strikingly unusual frock on her wedding day. There has been & dispo- sition here and in England to choose ‘something beside the conventional white satin for the wedding frock. but this is till a most usual choice in France. | From all one hears of the plans made by the prominent young women who are to be married this Spring satin is a aisual choice here also. It may be cream white, or white with a sliginly greenish or bluish cast if this is more becoming than the cream tone—and it is fre- wquently trimnled with pearl embroidery. Full tulle veils are much in evidence. Others are of princess lace, point ap- plique or rose point. Pure white satin slippers with white stockings are chosen by some brides— but rather smarter is the choice of flesh-colored ivory satin slippers worn | with nude stockings. These are perfect- i appropriate to the pure white frock | and veil and make the feet look less conspicuous than when covered v&‘llh} dead white. A two-color effect is sometimes chosen for the bridesmaids. At a recent wed- ding half the bridesmaids were dressed in deep apricot and the other half in bright apple green, with slippers and bats to match. : Orchid chiffon gowns have been chosen for a smart Spring wedding, with orchid hats banded with green. The maid of honor at this wedding will wear lettuce-green tulle. ‘When Miss Audrey Joel married Clif- ford Vail Brokaw in New York recently her bridesmaids’ gowns were of pale parchment chiffon, with brown hats. Slippers were of matching parchment, and the only note of color consisted of bouguets of pink roses arranged with Bowers of blue lace. And when Miss Barbara Brokaw married Leonard Jar- vis Cushman the bridesmaids wore period gowns of bright red, with red and gold hip girdles, and pointed hats of gold net, with long veils of brown sulle, and carried prayerbooks of gola Srocade. And the maid of honor struck 4 color note of decided contrast in her gown of royal purple. Mushroom-colored lace frocks worn Aver gold foundations, with wreaths of roses and red amber bead neck- s, were chosen by a recent bride, | and a noted English society bride re- cently chose bridesmaids’ costumes of acru lace in lighter, more delicate fabrics will be seen for the bridesmaids’ frocks for Spring, and quite a number of the ng women now making plans for ter weddings are choosing taffeta of modified period design. Often there 1s a combination of two or three contrasting colors—Ilovely flower-petal shades, too vivid to be spoken of ‘as :.sul. The second color is sometimes troduced by way of a mere piping at aeckline and girdle or sash. ‘The young woman whose bridesmaids. tike . must ponsider expense does oot y feel free to select frocks of y a picturesque sort thatihey worn on other occasions. i Spring he younger attendants, who are now- ‘quite as important as the brides- and maid of honor, are usually dressed in decidedly picturesque fashion. Sometimes the costumes are copled from quaint old-time portraits, and as the materials used are of the simpler sort, and as very little is needed, it is usually not necessary to consider the future wearability of these little cos- The bride and her party are not the only important personages at a wed- ding. No, indeed! ‘Two of the most interesting guests at 8 recent fashionable wedding were two smartly dressed women, of no more than middle-aged appearance, who oc- cupied an important position and seem- | ed to be enjoying the whole proceedings immensely. It was explained that they were two grandmothers. one of the bride and the other of the bridegroom. And then there i8 the bride’s mother. Though not a member of the actual bridal party, 1 daresay she is always | one of the most gazed-upon persons at | the wedding—and surely one of the most important. Nobody goes to 8 wedding without commenting on her. Did she cry? Did she ook happy? What did she wear? It's the “What did she wear?” of oourse, that is most significant from oun point of view. The bride’s mother, whether she is 40 or 60, can look 50 ex- tremely smart, so very appropriately | dressed, if she wants to, The choice of | her frock thould be second only to the dhoice of the costumes for the actual | tiridal party. ‘ There was a time when no one not in mourning was supposed tn go dressed w black to a wedding.

Professional Nowadays there are two kinds of | hostesses—the old-fashioned sort who do their own so-called entertaining, and the other sort who, to all intents and purposes, are guests at their own parties. There are plenty of rich women who stili do their own hostess work, so to speak—it s still only the well-to-do who can afford not to. Because get- ting others to do your entertaining for you is decidedly expensive. 1t is possible to employ women who are sometimes spoken of as temporary hostesses. They come in and talk over your plans with you, and then assume just as much of the responsibllity as you want them to—everything from sending out the invitations to seeing that your house is put in ship shape after usual confusion of a big party. For the time of the party they are at the helm, making tactful suggestions | to your servants so that nothing will | be amiss. For, of course, no woman | can succeed as a temporary hostess | whose middle name is not tact. | Por smaller parties the temporary | hostess may do almost all the plan- ning herself, but for a larger party she calls to her ald a skilled caterer, to give | the newsest ideas about refreshments, | and a decorator, who relieves her of the | responsibility of providing attractive | floral arrangements. 1 understand that some of these tem- | porary hostesses receive a fee of §25 a day. If your party requires no very elaborate preparations, then she may do it all in a day's work. If you get her | party. then at the end of that time you owe her $75—plus fees for the various | other experts she has called in to help | her. For large parties one must consider the expense of the decorator and ca- terer, also that of the musiclans and any special entertainers that may De required. t 1s & ot of work, this temporarily assuming the burdens of the real hostess, But it is really a very L)Ifluh ant game, as well as a lot of worl And, what is more, the professional how the party is going.

At/ least, that's been done by more than one woman who found her list of avail- able men shrinking! Paris Favors Black Combined With Red PARIS.—Black satin s chosen for the new daytime frock by smart women wh) have the courage to resist the in- numerable prints and stripes and dots and other combinations of color that are offerad for Spring. After all there is nothing smarter | anywhere for tea or luncheon or church | or other daytime wear than black satin.

Some have change purse and mirror, lipstick and rouge powder all attached or inclosed. But sometimes we buy or make or have made a handbag that needs fitting out. And the task of doing this fifting out is a very pleasant one. ‘To begin with, there must be & mirror, but that usually is included in the powder box. So begin with the powder box. Its size depends on the size of the handbag. If the bag 18 thin, then the powder box must be thin. You can get one in enamel or metal finish in the thinnest sort of shape. If the handbag is fat, then the pow- der box, too, may be fat, and you may Its from a compact eon- der, lipstick and rouge. These may be bought in all sorts of forms and colors. Black enamel, if you want something rather expensive, is very smart, with the initials in rhine- stones or silver.
