earrings, and brooch Of orange blossoms, to-
gether with a spray and Gordon for the hair.
No veil was worn. The TWO bridesmaids y, ore
dresses made IN precisely the same sly le. only
the material was white and brilliant light
green tarlatane, the two colors alternating in
the fiounces. The ornaments Of tie brides

CANBRIC MORNING DRESSES
The prettiest morning dresses for country

sprinkled with brilliant light green, blue or
red polka dots. They are made with two

only ten OF twelve.

the materials used for bodhsts. which have
noi yet al all enlarged their dimensions, nor
eau they so long as cSiqaoa retain their ascen-
dancy.
