NEW YORK. June 15.-One result Of the

ready been celebrated have had touch of
quaintness to break their Journalism in
revival of some of the picturesque old mar
rlage customs. On a recent occasion the
bride wore her name flower, the lily of the
valley wreathed with vines. When the
sound of carriage wheels was heard out
side the windows and 1t was time for her to
put on her travelling gown, she pulled, be-

fold of the veil across her eyes. So blinded
she held the garland at arms length while
the unwedded damsels circled about her,

finally allowed to rest being regarded as
she whose turn would come next in order to

At a second swell wedding within the
ranks of the 400 the brides veil of old lace
was fastened by dozen pearl pins. When
she went to change her dress word was
passed to her twelve bridesmaids to follow

a brides toilet to insure her amibilitv and
freedom from small worries, and adding a
newer idea that such gifts bring luck to
the receiver.
Other old ceremonies in high favor at
fashionable weddings this summer are the
theft by an agile bridesmaid of the left
slipper of the bride-warranted to act as a
charm to bring about a second wedding
within year-the scramble of the ushers
for the brides bouquet-which will make

of rice IN quantities greater than formerly
and the obligation newly put upon the
bridesmaids that they, or one of them,
must embroider for the bride blue garter,

With the revival of such multitude of

wedding gown should suggest the days of
auld lang syne. A very pretty bridal robe
that | have just seen is destined for a maid

| period of 1925, with balloon-like leg o. NUT

below the shoulder blades. The skirt is

very narrow and is finished with scallops of
white silk floss. From the waist line down
it is studded all over with tiny embroidered
white rosebuds, and in front the hem has a
| wire pattern with roses intertwined. A
frill of old lace at the NECK falls on the

with little punches of soft curls hang

| old lace that was worn hundred years
ago.
