Among wedding novelties is a most origi-
nal idea, smanating from France, Of lining
the carriage for the newly married pair
with rare orchids, roses and white hlacs
until they look as if they were seated in the
heart of a wedding bouquet. And to Lon

plicates OF wedding presents too large to be
| shown in the usual way. For instance, at
recent English wedding were shown a small
miniature brougham with glass windows,
wardrobe with glass doors, a china dinner
set, the pieces ABOUT the size Of dolls set,
all Of which must have been rather costly
in execution. The fashion Of wearing a
tiara instead Of orange blossoms is on the
increase. too, though it is one scarcely to be
commended. The traditional simplicity Of
the wedding gown, its veil of tulle and
wreaths of fragrant orange buds. seem to be
| falling into deplorable desuetude along with
sentiments which they were supposed to
typify in the wedding ceremony.

Whether she set the fashion or whether by

A certain New Yorker, SAYS the New

old friend, clergyman, whose small parish

An English paper, says the New York
Recorder, recently offered prize for a tea
gown, which should be pretty useful, and at
the same time capable of few changes in
its appearance.
Thousands Of designs were submitted.
The prize was award to the Lady Victoria
Blackwood, Of the British EN- bassy, Rome.
Lady Victorias design is emlnently prao-
tical and useful and the idea of utilizing the
one upper garment for two or three differ
ent fronts is one which will commend itself
TO every one, giving as it does that oppor-
tuHity for the variety which is always
charming. The toa gown is thus described:
Coat OF light blue silk, with two ribbons of
same color, which are secured on one side
and hooked and eyed on the other. Front
Of either pale pink, yellow, or white chiffon
or lace. loose, with Toby collar of the
chiffon, and flounce at the bottom. Plain
back, with turn-down collar.
