quoted entire.

At the afternoon receptions which follow
an afternoon wedding champagne is the
only wine served with the collation. Of oys-
ters, salads, etc.
For an evening reception champagne
claret are the wines, and the collation. ia
served with the addition of game birds.
Bride cake, that old, much.loved fashion,
lingeringly departs. Il is no longer an
honored institution, save occasionally,
when, as at tho Gardiner wedding, every
thing Is extremely British.
1t is, however, still incumbent upon the
young couple to display all their wedding
gifts.
Redfern. whose finger is always on the
pulse of fashion on both continents, gave
me some substantial and confident informa-
tion about the vagnries this winter.
Concerning brides be spoke with GER
tsinty. but he says he must be careful In
following the hints of his London partners.
What is being adopted there, is as yet an
unpopular hint here, though at a coming
wedding Redfern will bring the matter to
an issue.
He will put pretty girl into costume
of 1882. Not 1880, bus 1882 The precise
difference OF style between these two
periods is beyond me, but 10 is
probably as great as that between 1890
and 1892. At any rate, there is to
be determined revival OF 1882 before
which must fall the empire-Redfern speaks
OF 10 disrespectfully even now-and the cus-
toms OF sheath skirts, long waists and prin-
cess effects.
The particular gown of 1882, which is 60
ing to astound the fashionable world, is a
daring gown. Nothing like it has been
worn by a bride for fifty years, and in it
the young girl she must be one OF those
mentioned-which can it beD, Redfern as
sures me, looks marvellous sweet. He ac-
knowledges that it Is not pretty on a
wooden dummy-but full Of character and
individualism clinging to this venture
some maiden. 1t is Of dead white ben
galine silk, fitted closely to very short
waist line. The shoulders are immensely
long, and the leg O. mutton sleeve is fulled
| in all around aud droops as closely as pos
sible. At the elbow it is tight and fits
! snugly to the wrist, where It is just met by
e 1-button white kid glove. The neck is
Of course, high. and so high that the shoul-
der appears longer than ever. A collar
band of plain finish is a trifle over quarter
of an inch in width.
The gown is laced down the front. Two
perfectly square revers of magnificent silver
embroidery is the only bit Of trimming. The
! skirt is gathered fuely to the waist band,
and falls full TO che floor In front and to a
train behind.
The brides hair will be drawn smoothly
TO the nspe Of the neck aud coiled there
The veil, fastened we'll back, is of lovely
net.
This dainty bride OF olden time in her
gown which reminds us of dim aud fasci-
mating portrait. will cast bridegroom, min
listers and all the world, besides Redfern and
herself, so far into obscurity that her mar
rage will be another example OF what
woman may do alone and almost unaided.
