of diamonds and pearls was worn, and the
point-lace veil was fastened to the dark
hair by cluster of orange blossoms. A

I bridesmaids were prettily attired in dresses
of white net over white satin, trimmed
with rose-colored velvet ribbon. The rib
bon was introduced with puffs of net on
the bodices. The dresses were set off by
tulle wells and pink aigrettes, and they car
ried bouquets of MermeJ roses. The re-
ception that followed was very large and

is now permissible to bestow on these ami

soils which can be Worn with all summer
costumes, though they need not be carried
at the wedding itself. Probably since this
point has been conceded to economy as well
as to sentiment the next thing will be pre-
senting bridesmaids with boxes of gloves,
silk stockings and other dainty articles of
apparel. There is a marked sameness in
the list of wedding presents received on the

Anyone who takes the trouble to scan the

ents must be struck by the uniform, not to
say hackneyed, repetition of gifts. In this
city wedding presents are sometimes hired
for the occasion.
The recent action of the American Orni-
biologists union in regard to wholesale
slaughter of birds for purposes of decora-
ton is having its effect all over the world.
While every civilized country agrees in con-
Aemning the English sparrow, and likening
the poor little beast to vermin, calling it,
indeed, the rat of the air, public feeling is
&C every other species of bird. The tide is
turning, while even thoughtless women

: persons with the plumage of brilliant song
birds. They may not submit willingly to

who dares present such decorations in her
window, for she knows the majority of her
patrons will refuse to accept them at any
price. Mr. Sharpe, of the British museum,
says: mo legislation will avail unless the
women of America and Europe can be made

sponsible for the wholesale destruction of
birds which is going on to the great benefit
of the plume and millinery trades. but to
the everlasting detriment of the world in

their tall collars, the girls have now laid
hands on the straw hats of the once sterner
sex and added them to their opicene attire,

dressed world in rather singular degree.
It is woman's coat, the garment per Sc;
for it no longer serves to keep the
fair individual warm or protected
from inclement weather, like an ordinary
wrap, but it actually means the refinement
of TASTE know how" chic, and above all,
downright coquetry. AS matter of fact,
this supreme coat may be of the simplest
and plainest description: yet so well cut
and neatly finished that it gives real dis
tinction to the wearer, and stamps her the
person ''to the manner born" OF course,
this is purely fictitious effect. but the
fashion of the day has once combined good
sense with its whims, and this jaunty coat,
made like mans, is a brilliant example OF
art and science combined. 1t not only
holds its own with the frivolous nantes 9

tailoring, it can afford to smile at all the
base and cheap limitations of it.
