EXOTIC FASHION.

New Bridal Attire. Writing from London, a correspondent states tbit seme fashions are evtremely que. r. There are, of course, some atelien.' where- the ultra-exotic and sophisticated styles are shown to The most wealthy (and maybe foolish) womer-. Tn Oriental evening gown mentioned Was of black satin, slit up the irooit, and draped like an Eastern cos time. It was bordered with tiny bells which tinkled when the wearer moved. It is possible to imagine occasions when it would be most awkward to have bells tinkling wherever the wearer goes! A wedding g.-oup was shown at the tame place. A very tight-fitting white satin was rea<iy for the bride, the skirt cut in on? with the train. A double row' of satin leaves adorned the front of the gown from chin to hem in a double row. The tulle veil was embroidered in a wide design of silver sequins. It fell over the face about nine inches deep, and was gathered into a silver band l which went under the chin and was tied on the top of the head, holding the veil in position. The bridesmaids w*ere also in white satin, and had wide sash ends hanging down the front edged with silver fringe, and they carried each a sheaf of silver wheat. On their heads they wore a two-foot square of white tulle, veil fashion, and this Was kept in-place with a white eyeshade (like the green ones worn at tennis), tied on top with a silver bow.

“If you are going to be married,” adds this writer, “decide to be different or butt—and this latter will be one of the designs for you.”
