Wliat to wear, though a lioney- mooiier. Is no real problem this June. A sun; ot course. Preferably a silk one of some elegance. Best of- all, a.

crepe, back satin due that, can get a distinctive effect by using both sides of (lie material to en- rlcli the whole picture. The suit for yon probably Is the short sleeved frock and the coat to matc'li, a short Jacket or a long one, depending on what you look in. Ideal for the June bride Is a bluc-Jny blue t-oblumc, the blue satin dtess lilting beautifully to the young figure, cut effectively to point up to a high nnd designed to need no belt to complete it. It has a little dlcklc of real Al- cncon lace In natural tan behind a trio of smart boks of the satin, and tlie rather wide and low plain neckline Is most nattering to fresh young skin. The Jacket has a one-sided lone scarf, banded In summer ermine and the other side finished with one pointed revere nnd a place ideal for wearing a real gardenia or beige orchid.

There are wide bands of the summer ermine above the wrists around the sleeves that fit in that tailored manner that is so luxurious. The little hat is'by Le Monnier, in the same color as the suit.
