one hundred people assembled 10 cele-
brate three Important family events

marriage OF Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon, the

and wins.colored silk, with sash
clasped with giltrlngs, the style now 80
much the rage in Paris. The corsages

Miss Solomon, and he seemed fully to
appreciate bis proud and enyied posi-.
ton. The party did not break up un.
tia late hour, and the whole company
vastly enjoyed themselves. The we'd
ding will not take place for some
months hence.
FASHIONS IN HAIR.
Curls have nearly altogether replaced
plaits and 6dHdedI1, for evening wear,
especially Ut the Opera. To look effec.
tive, the curls should commence at the
very top of the head, and the last ring.
let should reach very low down the
back. What Is called the hiur1uerite
style ofarranging the hair Is adopted
BY a few, and the plaits In these cases
are OF wonderful length. So much false
hair Is worn that but little space is left
on the head for flowers and wreaths
In fact, the very narrowest bdndcdur,
and the sllmniest garlands possible to
arrange, are the only head dresses 10 be
seen Ut the present time. Small leaves,
beaded all over, and made up into
6undeduE, are fashionable, likewise
trellis OF lilies of the valley and lilac
mixed. as well as plaits Of velvet with
a gold tassel ut one end and u, bouquet
OF fgold howerets ut the other; these en-.
circle the head and are fastened at the
side, sometimes with the addition OF
very fanclrully made pendant orna.
