remarkable-not for the number, which
have been few compared to those Of pre-
vious seasons, but for the style and dis
play which have characterized them.
The Craig Mckenzie wedding of this
week was one which has excited great
interest in social circles for some time.
Both Miss Mckenzie and DIR. Craig have
lived in this city for many years, and
both are well known and popular in soci-
ETY.. The wedding, which was in the
Scotch Church. was probably one of the
prettiest church weddings that has taken
place here for some time, although a
number of fashionable weddings have
occurred
THE BRIDAL COSTUME.
The gown which was worn by Miss Nc
KenZie was quite departure from the
conventional white faille which has come
to be considered almost as necessary as
the bride herself.
Miss Mckenzie INDUCED her own taste
in selecting this as well as all her trous-
seau which was imported.
The wedding dress was OF white velvet,
trimmed with costly ornaments and faced
with rare and costly lace. Her travelling
dress was brown Henrietta and velvet,
plain, stylish and becoming. It Is need
less TO say that the trousseau was
expensive and elaborate, and just such
one as any girl would wish to possess.
The friends who attended the reception
were most distinguished ones, the Bodies,
Abbetts and nearly all the physicians of
the city and many other prominent SOcl-
ETY. people were present. Everybody has
been discussing this wedding since it oc-
Cured, and will continue to discuss it
until the nine days is completed-when
like all other sensations it will be laid
aside for the next.
THE CABLE WEDDING.
The Thomas-Cable wedding was also
very pretty, it being pink wedding.
Like the other it was talked about and
discussed, commented upon where it
could be improved or where it surpassed
expectations, and is still a subject of in
terest. There are vet two fashionable
weddings which will occur this month,
and the arrangements for them are being
watched with interest. They will be
brilliant affairs, one a home wedding, the
other will occur in the church.
BRIDAL GOSSIP.
If brides only realized through what a
fire of uncharitable comment and gossip
they passed to the altar, probably large
weddings would soon become a thing of
the past, but the time will probably never
come when the love of display will be
lessened.
The Conversations have again reorgan-
ized, and the first reception was given on
Thursday night. This society is one of
the oldest social clubs in the city, and has
now entered upon the fifth year of its
existence.
Many OF those who organized the club
are Still members, but as in all such
societies each year brings some changes.
The receptions are given once month
and are always pleasant affairs. Some
new members will be admitted this sea-
son and all are anticipating particu-
larly attractive winter.
