The Ice blues, pearl pinks and creams In which smart brides' paraded to candle-lit altars during the past year or so have been swept from the wedding pogeant. Fashionable brides ! this spring are choosing satin gowns as white as the frosting on their wed- ; ding cakes. ' . The extremely long train and tne harem veil which, fell over the face have likewise been eliminated from smart wedding pageants. Two yards is now tho favorite length for bridal trains, while tho smartest veil Is a cloud of white tulle caught at the Bides of a little lace cap and flowing the length of tho tram. The wedding gown itself is the es sence of simplicity In design. Close- fitting long sleeves, a simple bodice and a semi-fitted hipllne are univer sally seen in the newest models. Satin is the favorite fabric, although several smart winter brides have chosen wed ding gowns of tulle. The vogue for white has spread even to the gowns of bridal attend ants.
