This is TO be u flower wedding in honor of
the June sunshine, as well as an old-time
ceremonial, and the ten bridesmaids, who
will weor gowns exactly like those assumed
by their grandmothers when they were
young, will walk in pairs and carry roses,
the first two in short-waisted gowns and
Scant skirts of the most delicate shade of
pink China silk, with sashes like that of the
pale sweet brier hanging from their wide
Leghorn hats down on their shoulders and
escaping from the baskets tied with broad
pink ribbons carried in the hand. The next
couple will wear pink silk of the shade next
deeper and crown themselves with the five
petaled wild rose which blossoms sweet and
bright on every hillside. After these will
come two vivid brunettes in yellow to
match their yellow roses and then two
others in the warm pink of the Glorie de
Paris roses and the last two in the deep
glowing red, of the Jacqueminots.
AS wedding silk there can be little
doubt that white armure is fast displacing
the traditional white satin. 1t has not the
sheen of the classic fabric, but to the aver
age woman, who is renowned for falling to
look her best when dressed for her wedding,
it is far more becoming. 1t has a softness
that the satin lacks, and delicate grain
over which light and shadow play prettily.
A very complete trousseau prepared for a
welI-knowu girl of considerable wealth
whose future husband has received an i'm
portant appointment abroad might be
looked on as an epitome OF the hummer
fashions of 1885, The wedding gown is
particularly rich and beautiful, being COM
posed of white armure silk brocaded with
orange flowers and myrtle and cut in long
princesse redingote opening over front
of lace wrought in patterns of the same
bridal blossoms. Clusters of orange flow
ers fasten the skirt to the redingote,
and more orange flowers are
worn at the throat. The bodice
opens over draped lace plastern. There
are long sash ends of white ribbon. The
veil is of point lace, also showing the nyr-
tie and orange designs.
One of the most charming dresses in this
trousseau is a dinner dress of pearl white
japanese crepe, which is unlike the Chinese
crepe, in that it is heavier, coarser in mesh
and without luster. Bernhardt likes to
wear it because it falls in beautiful statu-
esque folds. This dinner gown is made with
a princesse redingote of laurel green ar
mure embroidered in different shades of
green. The redingote is outlined with
soft border of white lace ruching. The
neck is cut ont in front in a small V and
into this is shirred the fullness of the white
crepe, which hangs in straight folds TO the
floor The skirt is composed entirely of the
crepe, and a scarf of the same material is
fastened at one side with large jsweled
pin. The embroidered sleeve is edged with
lace ruching.
One of the carriage dresses is also ex-
tremely fresh and brilliant being of the
most exclusively fine India camel's hair in
pale greea toes. 1t has bodice and
i5reek draperies over skirt of armure,
which is Ia stripes of two shades Of green
