JUNE URIBES’ VEILS.
Enter June, the month of the bride.
1. Is right at hand and will be usher
ed in on Friday of this week, and nat
urally one of the things to be consid
ered in connection with June brldia
is the veil the June bride wears. Tho
Woman’s Home Companion for June
gives some of the newest views upon
this interesting and timely topic. It
says:
"The Russian style hi bridal veils
is the latest for the bride who wants
to look taller. Wired laco above
bandeau of pearls fs topped with
plaited tulle. From under the bandeau
floats tlio veil.
"For the youthful bride, the wedding
veil may hang from a big, fluffy tulle
how at the back of her head. Instead
of n bandeau of pearls, she wears a
braided bandau of tulle and orango
blossoms.
‘The bride who loves things artistic
will welcomo the Moyen Age veil. It
Is draped over the head, falling la
front to the knees. A place Is cut for
the face to peep out, which Is outlined
with line pearls. The bandeau is sliver
ribbon or satin; the veil, tulle or
silk Brussels net. ,
The lucky blue garter la now lace
frilled ornamented wilh a heart of
orango blossoms.”
We think this has gone sufficiently
