WEDDINGS.

When bride is married in her travelling
dress, at home or at church, she uses either
a gray or brown cloth suit. Her gloves
are gray or tan-color as best harmonizes
with her dress, and the glo> S of the
groom may match hers, or if it is n day we'd
ding he may omit the gloves altogether, or
he may merely carry them in his hand as is
sometimes done at the elaborate wedding
where the bride goes to church in full dress
At evening weddings gloves are de rigueur
for the groom, but instead of the pure white
gloves that make the hands look larger, the
preference is for the groom to wear the palest
pearl-tinted gloves, broadly stitched with the
same shade while the ushers wear similar
gloves stitched with black. White neck
scarfs are now fashionably worn by all men
at all weddings, even at the most quiet morn
ing ceremonies at home or in church. At
day weddings the men guests wear tan
colored gloves.

sloping out ut the bottom wide enough for a

The English appear to have learned more
from the defeat of their yacht Galatea 10y the
Yankee Mayfower than the Americans did.
Sir Thomas BrasSey, the distinguished British
yachtsman, writes letter to The London
Times explaining the failure. 1t was due, he
says, to the form of the Galatea's hull He
writes: "The American sloop spreads 1000
feet of canvas; the Galatea has a sail area of
ZIG feet, while the ability of the Galatea to
carry sail is conspiCuously inferior. The dis
placement is 1853 tons, against the no tons
of the Mayhower. The weight of ballast is
$3.50 tons in the Galatca, and 500 tons i'll the
Mayfower.
"The reasons which have led to the introduc-
ton of the present type of English racing
cutter are not far to seek Our models have
been designed under the baneful influence of
an elaborate system of time allowance based
upon tonnage the measurement being deter
mined by the length and breadth without
reference to depth. Tonnage has been kept
down by minimizing breadth, and the stabil
ity formerly derived from a wholesome pro
portion of breadth to length has been supplied
by the less satisfactory expedent of a heavy
weight of ballast carried at al increased
depth below the center of buoyancy."
In every aspect OF shape he regards the
Mayflower as superior to the Galatea, hut in
the matter of staunch seaworthiness and en-
durance he believes the Galatea better than
the Mayfiower. Then he declares frankly:
Avoiding exaggeIations on both sides, we
may build up on the solid keel of an English
cutter a hull not widely differing in form
from that of the typical American sloop. 1t
can be DONE and pride and prejudice should
not be suffered to bar the way to improve
ment. The yachtsmen of past generation,
led by Mr.. Weld, the owner of tho famous
Alarm, were not slow TO learn lesson from
their contests with the America. We may
improve our cutters rs We formerly improved
our schOouers 10y adaptations, which need
not be servile limitations of the fine sloops
our champion vessels have encountered on
the further shores of the Atlantic.
