very picturesque and striking were the
gowns OF the quartet of lovely bridesI. aids,
as tney entered in laurel pink and white
siiKs, the flowers that had been the fayorites
Oh the pride from childhood scattered with
lavlsh hand over their round waists and gOred
skirts, which had deep frills to finish the
mems and bits Of rich lace at the waist and
on the sleeyes. The bride carried laurel
Dlossoms tied with white rib0ons for her
bouquet. and the bridegroom had sprig of
la9rel at his buttOnhole.
One Oh the most effective costumes noted
among the wedding guests was worn by a
young girl with clear, delicate profile. AS
sne sat, her face turned to give me a side
view, noted ii before and after her gown,
thoqgh indeed the bodice of black silk, COW
ered full with black silk net, worked with
yeIloWlsh pink honeysuckle SPRAYS, may
prove more generally interesting. This bod
Ice was worn with skirt of black India silk,
covered Ike the net with honeysuckle bios
SONS Inc sleeves were punched high Mt
tops, and about the waist was a sash of
honeysuckle pink ribbon, with great
rosette BOW in front, matching similar

Iall0r-made silk coats are among the new
thlngs one sees. Hungarian coats of black
Dr0cade are introduced also and open over
walstc0at fronts of rich Chantily. A paietOt
coat 0f pale fawn corded silk is very atLrac-
i've. 1t has a dOuble-breaSted front and
iaStens with loops OF gold cord and round
DalS OF gold buttons. In fine weather these
fronts are left oDen at the top in long V,
showing design in gold braid and jewels
when runs about the collar. A tulle cravat
IN golden brown fills in the space at the
throat, and the cOlors are repeated on the
Drown tulle hat, with its trimmings of rose
buds and gold tinsel.
The old-faShiOned lawns which come back
10 us are pretty, and so are the limp musins,
Sheer and silky and copied from those be-
loved OF our graudmOthers. Russell and
Ilsc is com binatiOn shown in all the thin
summer fabrics though less frequently per-
maps than lilac and gold, or pink and cream,
OF PINK and green, this last effect requiring
very careful eye to bring it out success
1uily. toalardS meet one ShimmPring with
green that runs into gold just as the young
grass does when the sun strikes it of u
morning and the wind rippes it on a not
too-clOSely cut lawn. Shel-like designs in
cream white appear on many fabrics, with
rOcocO 0ow-knOtS and masses of flowers.

were draped bit on the hips, and the
pointed corSelet laced behind. This corse-

Droidered with stars in blue and silver. The
blouse opens at the throat and the high
