RIDES

malm a H twpy NEW Year

IN the past twelve months there have been more weddings per annum than for any recent year and with prosperity once more at its height the chances are that the coming year will eclipse the one that is just passing. Weddings make for prosperity, not only in the way of trousseau collecting and catering and gift buying but also because every wedding means a prospective family and every prospective family means increased home or flat building, an impetus to the furnishing trade and a fillip to consumption generally. For the well-being that they bring to the community may we, therefore, wish every bride and bridegroom of the coming year lifelong happiness and loads of good luck. Oft: The Juliet wedding frock reminiscent of the loveliness of shimmering- satin draperies which were worn by the exquisite and everstirring heroine of mediaeval romance. This period gown is fashioned to show a very full pleated skirt which emerges from a lowent V-shaped waistline. The sleeves are fnlly-pleated t# harmonise and are caught in at the wrist with a narrow band of satin. Pearls fasten the frock from neck to waist at the back. A simnle white kid prayerbook is carried and the veil is one of embroidered silk net. Right: Rich lnstrons parchment satin fashions a distinctively classical wedding frock. The long full train is caught into a shaped godet. Sleeves are shirred at the shoulder and are short and finished with wide tucking. A cloud of palest mauve tulle wreathes the exquisitely slender frock and floral coronet secures it. A few heads of mauve and golden gladioli are carried.

This classical gown shows draperies falling at the centre front, the new wide shoulder line and full box-pleated wrist-length sleeves. It is made in dead white salin-backed creoe. A wristlet of pearls and orange blossom is worn to match the coronet which attaches the veil.

Dead white crepe Lorenne fashions this lovely bridal model showing a fanlail centre train, which is accordeon-pleated and accompanied by a double set-in train on either side. Pearls from a string are the only trimming. The bridal wreath is a coronet oft pearls and orange blossom, and the veil is exquisitely embroidered silk net.
