WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14. 1916. vwhen | this country tained peace with honor. The dcmocratic party in the face of scandalous and vicious attacks, has maintained this great American ideal. While for peace, it has steadily and surely worked for sound and power- ful preparedness. It has maintained a solemn, calm dignity in the face of circumstances which might have drawn it into the vortex of a world destruction. Though villified by self- seekers, it has maintained friendly relations thraughout the world: it has been true to the spirit of America; it has been true to the great principles of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Jackson; it has allowed no selfish in- terest ta blind it to the fundamentals of its faith and the country has found that its confidence has been well be- stowed. “The democratic party has proven itself a party of principles, a party cf constructive ability; a party of performance. It has proven that ideals can be realized. United we stand for America. ‘Ladles and gentlemen of this con- vention the elephant is dead, the Moose is dead.

Bruce Kremer, secretary of thé national committee, then read the formal call for the convention. When Chairman McCombs announc- ed the temporary officers of the convention selected by the national committee, former Governor Martin H. Glynn of New York, temporary chairman, was cheered. The full list of temporary officers was read and approved. Senators Reed of Missouri, Tag- gart of Indiana, and Pomerene of Ohio were appointed to escort Tem- porary Chairman Glynn to the chair. When the cheering subsided Mr. Glynn launched into his keynote speech. Governor Glynn's declarations upon Americanism and that the policy of the administration as to neutrality is “as American as the American flag were given a prolonged demonstra- tion. When .Mr. Glynn predicted the the resolutely main-] i York delegates rose en masse and cheered, waving flags and whistling shrill The band helped along the demon- stration.

PIQUANT JUNE BRIDE WEARS A CORONET VEIL R 7 HE June brides will take on strange and unfamiliar as- pects. Some there still are, slender tall and, for all the fullness of their robes, preserving more or less of the traditional lily- like air, but the modern bride is not altogetner satisfled with the old pose. She still wants to be slender if| heaven will grant her the boon, but she | doesn’t care at all about having her| wedding gown accentuate her length | and slenderness. She is more concern- ed about looking chic than about look- ing lilylike. And so if she happens to be of the increasing class to whom tra- dition is an empty word she plans her wedding gown and her bridesmaids’ frocks on piquant lines. The thing is easily accomplished this season, and the picture wedding can be staged in any number of effective ways. It is a callous way to talk of a wed- ding, of course, but how can one re- gard an elaborate modern wedding from any save a scenic point of view? The first short full wedding gowns two years ago created a sensation. A bride must choose something much more extraordinary to create a sensa- tlon now. People have become used to short wedding gow=s and curious veil arrang nts, i, though such things e exception rather than smiles indulgently upon ana the rule, them. Many of gowns this one the conventional sprirg dey bridal t from con- vention enough substitute white tulle for the traditional white satin, so that the gown, thoush not short nor crinolined, is a cloud of vaporous folds | and gives the impr on of great full- ness without its broad silhouette. With such a frock there is perhaps a satin train which the long veil of net and lace softens, or perhaps only the veil of lace. The arrangement of the veil is often drapery of one kind or another is the usual thing, a high veil drapery being seldom seen, though during the winter several brides wore their veils plaited in fan shape at top and standing up | rather after the fashion of a Spanish court or in fan shape across the top of the back. In her pleasantest dreams every | maiden sees herself beautifully array- ed in the proverbial satin wedding gown, with the equally proverbial lace veil charmingly draped to conceal the head and to ornament the back of the gown, but when the time arrives for her to wear such wonderful raiment she is at a loss to make a choice, 5o much variety is there in both veils and gowns. In both of them the styles and customs of different nations have been introduced with success. Some of these veils are reminiscent of medieval days and are very easy to arrange. One lace veil gives a sugges- tion for using the one grandmother wore. A band of tulle is bound around the head in a fashion similar to a nun’s | coif. Over this the lace is draped to form a point in front and then to fall gracefully down the back. Although | the lace must be securely caught to | the tulle, avoid too many stitches, for | they are apt to result in stiffness. Another quaint affair is fashioned of | tulle or net. A piece of the material | sufficiently large to cover the head can | be used like a cap. Shirr the material ding retinue. For her is suggested a figured silk, probably fouhrd of mauve on a gray ground. The irimmings are darker gray velvet ribbox, with sleeves and crossed fichu plece of gray geor- gette crape. Her hat may be a gray rough straw with a hizh upstanding frill of mauve moire ribhon. Pansies of tilted brim. Pink has been so lcng favored by fashion for boudoir weir that one has almost forgotten pale blue existed. Now negligees and lingerie in pale blue are considered much more exclusive than those in flesh pink—the supreme favorite for two seasons past—and spring trousseaix riot in blue, the very palest shale. There are combi- nations of pale blue glove silk, corsets of pale blue bmocade, nightgowns and lingerie of pale blue batiste. lingerie ribbons are better 'liked now than rose colared ones. Very attrac- tive summer mgligees are of pale blue china silk, wita inserts of val lace, and enchanting litle sacks are of pale blue menots and hand scalloped at the edges. Themr are also dainty sacks made of white washable net. These are usually in two layers, an under sack or sleeveless slip and the outer sack tucked and trimmed with lace. Deep shoulder capes giye many of thes sacks a flufy, airy suggestion that is adorable. % Slowly hut surely for the past few to fit the head and into the casing slip i The headdress can then be slipped on.

The edges and neck opening | are finished with hemstitched he=.. |and the neck opening reaches to the | waist line at front and back. Around the high waist line are two rows oY corded shirring. There are many nightgowns ot washable satin and pussy willow silk in pastel tints or in white. These show hemstitching, featherstitching and em- broidered motifs in wreath or medais lion effect rather than lace. In facy the rule seems to be as much lace as possible on the peignoir, but the robe | de nuit as simple as possible. All the more exclusive undergarments are fashioned by hand. Machine stitching is not tolerated. Since it is no longer necessary to wear sheath fit- ting underclothes, so that tight skirts may not show wrinkles, women are go- ing back with delight to the more at- tractive frilly styles. Short petticost= are coming in again, and the drawere are no longer gathered in at the knee im culotte fashion, but have a circular flare, with inserts and frills of lace. O1d fashioned puffings of organdie, net or batiste are also used in alternation with lace insertions. A very pretty com- bination has alternate puffing of em- broidered net and bands of pale blue batiste. Brides’ bouquets are things of love- liness this season. Heather and white roses, lilles of the valley, with their own sheathing leaves, and white sweet - peas, with maidenhair ferns, festoon= ed with narrow white satin or gauze ribbon, are all favorites. | The charming bride pictured wears | an outfit consisting of a val edged net veil shirred into a wreath of lilies of the valley, forming a coronet head- plece. The gown is of white liberty satin, featuring a short full skirt with front panel and elaborate court train of princess lace bordered with rich pearl embroidery.

It leaves so little time, and there is always so much to be done. The bride’s trousseau is perhaps the most important thing to be finished up in that time. No matter whether she belongs to the ranks of the idle rich or of the hardworking poor, she must have some kind of trousseau. The business girl, for instance, who is leaving the ranks of bachelor maids to join the list of matrons, has prob- ably just given up her position in order to have the last few weeks free to make all her preparations. She has saved up perhaps §100 from her salary for her wedding wardrobe, and now she must make it go just as far as possible. It is to you girls with limited purses that this little talk is addressed. Those of you who must buy your trousseaux on the savings of weeks, perhaps, must not let your money go from you with- out getting full value. If you are care- ful of each five cent piece you will be able to have trousseaux from the wed- ding dress to the going away suit, from hat to shoes, all on the sum of $100, but you must choose carefully and not let a dime knowing why. For $25 you should be able to have a | very pretty wedding dress. All things considered, it is cheapest and best to have a dressmaker come in by the day get away from you without | for the time needed to make all your probably buy ready made if you shop well. If you are handy with your needle, and even if you are not, there are many ways you can help the seam- stress to make your own trousseau. One girl who really knows very little about the various stitches made for herself recently without any cut pat- tern two little voile dresses, which for | charm might have been made by the| finest modiste in town. | One was a delicate blue, caught up | in panniers about the hips, with a frill fichu and cuffs of ecru net and lace, a wide satin girdle of blue and a pink gardenia at the side. Perhaps the chief charm in both frocks was the delicacy of their colors, for both were unusual | pastel shades, one the blue already de- scribed, the other pink. The blue gown cost this girl just $3.10, the pink $2.50, including everything, from the stiff belting inside to the flower adornment. Now, two such frocks as these will| be charming if you are going for your honeymoon where the weather s warm. Your wedding dress depends on your own taste, but a soft, clinging white chiffon is prettiest. It would be advisable to have it made so that you can use it for a best evening gown aft- erward. Twenty-five dollars ought to cover the cost of materials for tulle veil and the dress it you have it made | at home. The $5.50 for the two little | voile dresses makes the sum now spent $30.50. Your going away suit ought not to | win | made up Of course it epends on your own taste, but it seemsbest to buy a three piece suit if possble. In the first place, it will save th: expense of buying a cou- ple of extrz waists; in the second, it will save te cost of waist laundry, which mayprove very expensive on a trip, and tien it will make an extra dress for diy wear. If you prefer hav- ing a coa and skirt suit buy dark georgette €ape waists, which will not need to bglaundered You wil' need an evening gown for informal :ffairs (your wedding gown servi for big parties, and this evening gwn should not cost you more than $20), which brings the sum spent |up to $75.50. Some very smart trim- | med hats were seen recently at $3 and $4 each, and at a recent shoe sale five dollar shoes were being sold at $1.75. Out of the remaining $14 or $16 you | must pay the dressmaker for the three or four days necessary to make your wedding dress and evening frock, al- | though you can buy the latter ready made for the price mentioned if you prefer, and you must buy enough nain- sook to make your lingerie. By careful spending you should be | able to have a fairly attractive trous- | seau for your $100. i Checks ar;d Stri pes QTRIPID taffetas of every imagl-| nabl sort—one tone, two tone, many tne, regular, irregular, satin and tafeta, chiffon and taffeta, flow- ered anl plain—are offered in all the modish colors, even hge plaids in wonderfully har- monize colorings follow at a distance. | In wolen stuffs checks are particu- | larly enphasized, and the sheer stuffs show : good many crossbars and check design.
