l. is much more usual at present for
bride to carry bouquet than prayer
book. AT dozen recent ceremonies L have
seen the latter only once chosen. The
bride has much latitude in the matter of
flowers. l have noticed white lilacs once,
white roses and lilies-of-the-ya valley three
times, white orchids twice, and white yio-
lets and valley, white roses and
violets, bride roses, lily-of-the-valley and
madenfern, white violets and mignonette,
and bride roses each once.
The fashionable bride wears too many
Jewels. Especially when she is quite young
this is unbecoming. Take the glare Of
white satin and the dazzle of a diamond
sun, add the fatigue OF assiduOus trousseau
preparation and you baye an excellent re-
ceipt for looking your worst on a momen-
tous occasion. One spring bride has worn
diamond star and pearl necklace; another
a pearl necklace with diamond pendant;
two have worn diamond crescents to fas-
ten the veil, one adding a pearl necklace,
and riviere OF diamonds and the
other a pearl necklace simply. The BRIDE
groom, by the way, is quite in the habit
OF giving pearl necklace instead of dia-
mond ornaments, to the bride, and yet
pearls. they say, bring tears One bride has

The bridegroom who gives souvenirs to
his ushers chooses Jeweled scarf pins de-
signed from his crest or monogram. The
bride, who is queen of hearts, gives her
bridesmaids small pearl hearts surmounted
perhaps, by crowns. One young woman
chose heart-shaped lockets of white enamel
set with diamonds and each holding her
portrait. Another fettered her girl friends
affections with bracelets of pale gray and
blue forget-me-nOtS ON bands of twisted
gold. Sometimes it is the bridegroom who
cements the good will of the bridesmaids by
Offering them high combs of blonde tortoise
shell.
The number of bridesmaids is something
which is governed by no rule. AT pretty
wedding last week there was a maid of honor
simply. A dainty blue-eyed girl was married
in April with two bridesmaids. Her sister
changed her name about fortnight ago with
the aid and countenance of a maid of honor
and two bridesmaids. There was splendid
chance missed for double wedding Four
maids or four and maid of honor is usual
So is six or six and the maid of honor. /
have seen one wedding this spring with
eight bridesmaids, and there has been one
with twelve In this country it is almost
unheard of to venture beyond the dozen,
though fcTeign brides sometimes have whole
retinues.

The bridesmaids are more favored in the
matter of dress than the principals. 1t is
more than allowable, it is by all means
desirable for them to be picturesque, while
the bride must be, rs to attire conyen-
tional. At wedding which is to come off

shoes being of paie-gray suede. They

avail themselves to the full of the liberty
we now allow ourselves of going back from
fifty to 200 years for our fashions. At n
church wedding in Brooklyn not long sin ce
the bridesmaids wore Marie Aptoinette
gowns Of white silk and gold-embrodered
null and carried pink orchids. Marie An
toinette gowns were worn the first week in
May at edding in a Long Island coun-
try house. Heavy white silk was the ma
terial, with frou-frou ruffles about the
skirts, high corsages and white mousseline
de sole capes folded quantity across the
bosoms, Each damsel wore Marie An
toinette head-dress of pearls, with white
feathers waving from the back, and they
walked two and two, one couple carving
white lilac the second pink roses and the
third violets and mignonette.
1t is not necessary that bridesmaids
should wear white gowns. At probably
the largest and most fashionable wedding
of the spring six maids wore pink and six
silver gray. The pink maids carried lilies
of the valley, the gray ones Catherine Mer-
met roses. They walked in couples,
a pink girl and gray girl side by
side. At another wedding rose color

When children attend the bride they wear
hower-laden hats and very possibly gowns
OF white point d'esprit with long sasLes.
White faille is still worn more than any,
thing else for the all-important bridal gown.
Whlte Siclllenne Is in favor. White satin
we have always with US, sometimes trimmed
with point lace and sometimes combined
with silver brocade. A princess dress of
ivory white cloth over a silk pettcoat is
oftener becoming than any OF these. A
blonde bride married ten days ago wore
satin embroidered with pearls and draped
with crepe de Chine. Rather an odd idea
Is to cover the corsage with white jet. AS a
rule the simpler the wedding dress is the
prettier: Several of the spring brides have
had their bodices cut low. Nothing could
be IN worse taste possibly. Even the half
low bodice should be frowned on. Neither is

OF New York recently illustrates the ex-
IRENE of what to avoid. 1t was white silk
cut low and without sleeves, embroidered
with rhinestones set in gold, glrdled with
more rhinestones and provided with nearly
an acre of train.
1t is not well to mourn if ones grand
mother did not leave a point lace veil, for
tulle is more generally becoming. 1t may
be fastened with orange blossoms or
Jasmine. A petite brunette bride the other
day wore white silk dress with bonnet Of
white lilac.
All the early summer gowns are aired in
their freshness at the weddings. AT
church ceremony last week the decorations
were OF apple blossoms. The brides
mother wore steel gray satin embroidered
with silver. Silver gray silk with capote of
pale pink carnations, helotrope satin with
pale yellow ribbon trimmings. copper

much worn in the hair, although some still
affect bows of ribbon, but for the evening
flowers are by all odds the most beautiful,
and for young ladies nothing more appro-

Both the high and low coiffures are in
high favor in Paris and London, and are
more elaborate than the American STYLES.
Partisan modes, by which the world of
fashion was once ruled, however, no longer
lead, and our ladies find their more quiet
tastes better suited by those designed by
competent artists in their midst.
Fashionable bonnets can only be worn to
advantage with front piece. and the back

the bonnet or toqne being supported with a
shell comb or other ornament placed in the
top of the hair.
The styles in front pieces or bangs are
more numerous than ever, and foreheads,
whether broad, high, narrow or square,
may be lifted with suitable shape or the
natural hair banged in most becoming

favored by merry young maidens as it sets

Very young ladies wear the front hair in

over the shoulders or braided loosely with
a bow OF ribbon just below the crown of the
