A dinner dress Of blackish crimson

Millinery couldn't help being inter
esting if il tried. and it is wise enough
not % try. There was never an autumn
without turbans and the turoan of
presidential year is particularly small
and particularly high brimmed. re-
member one on the head of girl who
was "t<ying on" in front OF huge
mirror yesterday morning. She was
"a pretty darA-slinned girl and her
turbsn was low crowned pink
felt with two-inch band OF
dark emerald velvet about the edge
OF the brim. The brim was bent in

Just above the point II had great

emerald green plumes stood up in the

10 be an especial torment 10 amateur
hat trimncrs this autumn; for when
the two plumes, which the mode insists
should point in opposite directions, are
right they are very right, indeed, but
when they are wrong they look as il
they had been badly fastened and the
wind had blown them loose from their
moOrings-
Another clever turban which was
lunching at Delmonico's the other after
noon was low-crowned brown felt
turban with fold of clear pale yellow
cloth laid loosely over the crown. The
briIn was high and had narrow yell
low edge and the trimmings were
brown iridescent plumes.
IL is only once In awhile that femi-
nine courage is screwed up to the
point OF wearing peacock feathers, bat
this is one of the seasons of hardihood.
Lille Langtry says peacock feathers
are unlucl1y, other women shrink from
the challenge implied in tying on the
trappings of the bird of Venus, but this
nutunn scruples of both sorts are flung
TO the winds.
A pretty wedding at Tarrytown on
Wednesday brought out all manner of
autunnal fneries The ivy which COW
ers the old stone church from porch TO
belfry was as green and shining as in
June, but the chancel within glowed
with burning crimson and brown and
yellow maple leaves. Bittersweet and
the plumy white clematis wreathed
the altar and great green swamp ferns
were brought in to wave their tall dark
fronds.
The bride wore simple white silk
empire frock with long tulle veil
Late white roses were her only orna-
ments. The maid Of honor wore an
empire gown striped in pale yellow and
white silk, with white shoes and a
white felt Gainsborough hat trimmed
with heavy, dropping yellow plumes.
The four bridesmaids wore brown
and cream-colored Empire dresses with
brown Gainsborough hats loaded with
white plumes. They carried lunches of
the blue, fringed gentian, the contrast

out throughout the ceremony with
striking piquancy.
The pews made a strange array Of
summer and autumn mingling. but the
straws and muslins were plainly dis
posed To retreat before the heavier silks
and the cloths and the felts and feathers.
Very noticeable from the interest with
which it bent forward at every motion
and every look of the girl-bride was a
robe Of pinlSish cinnamon cloth with
rows of jet 10 trim il at the bottom.
The gathered waist was belted with a
broad black scarf tied in a huge Alsa-
tisn bow on the left side. The scarf
ribbon had narrow pink edge that
distinguished 1t pleasantly from the
rest OF its kin. The bodice had a short
Figaro vest Of black satin studded with
Jet and with black velvet lapels- The
sleeves were close fitting with balloons
on the shoulders. A toque hat finished
the costume with It's black velvet folds
AID its pink velvet chrysanthemum
flowers. ELLEN OSBORN.
