The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-05-03

Two Young women who sat side by side in
church yesterday morning at a spring we'd
ding were finely typical of these two ideals.
They were fairly pretty young women, and
close observation on my part in course OF
the long ceremony seemed to develop the
fact that they were enough alike as to fea-
lures and probable figures to bear to-each
other som family relationship, which orig
inal similarity had been SO completely over
laid, however, as to be almost undiscovera-
BILE under strongly marked and widely
differing secondary characteristics.
The younger and, l was inclined to hold
after some elaboration, the prettier of the
pair. wore a channels .colored outfit bound
as to its edges with black silk "a rounded
its- fsSnt-like-a neD s'three-button
cutaway. The white collar, stitfiy starched,
threatened the pink ears; the black tie was
knotted in a bow that was irreproaohable;
the natty vest was cut low to display q
full-dress shirt with lines of embroidery and
CLEANS of diamonds; there were gold links
fastening the wrist bands, there was one
pink carnation i'll a bu%ttonhole, and to all
Who could not look below the top of the
pew and catch a glimpse of the three
basque skirts of graduated length and
width slashed to the waist and plainly
bound with silk braid, it must have been
hard to believe they were not cycling a
young cadet or a rosy baby.
The taller and paler and distinctly less
vivacious young woman wore a costume of
the stuff they call nowadays silk challie. 1t
was cream-colored, if you got to the foun
dation of it, but the entire skirt seemed to
be covered with roses, for beginning at the
bottom with full blown flowers, the bios
SONS grew smaller and smaller as they as
cended from hem towards the waist, until
finally fha yppa mink hldS vera lost in the
great lace ~paniers- The bodice, folded &
la Vierge, was smothered under cascades OF
lace, from beneath which peeped u border
ing of rosebuds where the fronts crossed
one another. The huge fiat hat OF
white and lace-like c%rinoline bore up a
flower garden of roses. and q deep lace
founce fell from it all about its circumfer
ence, almost shading the eyes. In hel
cloyed hand-the gloves We're of cream cOlol
embroidered with pink-this Tralnon ex-
ample held the yard-long stalk of a rose
whose huge b%lossoming head waved gently
from the entrance of the bride to her tina
departure, pale and tired looking, but tri
umphant, down the aisle.
There is matter of considerable import re.
lating to sleeves. The day of the higl
sleeve is nearly done, and it deserves to &C
out in disgrace, for it has reserved it's Eost
unkind manifestations for the days wher
to be unkind is to be cruel. There have
been days when it has been warm, there arr
going to be days when IL will be warmer
and already is it plain that the long clos,
cuffs reaching from elbows to knuckles ar,
an invention of the gentleman who SHOULD
know better, seeing that the climate Il
which he is accustomed is troplc, and see
Ing that the costume in which he himsel
has commonly had his portrait painted i
really picturesque enough to have war
Tanted one in ascribing to him better tast
to use in the toilets of Others,
