booker families, whose wealth, In
vested in stable real estate or old
fashioned securities, has suffered
little from the seasons imam
clal mishaps. One OF these
weddings was distinguished by the hap
py use made Of red autumn leaves in
the decoration at the home reception,
In an old-fashiOned Colonial mansion up
the Hudson, that has become new-fssh-
Toned again in the whirligig OF modes.
Very appropriate TO the time and place
was Il, the leaf-blOWn lawn slOping
away toward a lovely view Of the NYack
hills. dark under the afternoon sun be-
yond the cleaning river.
Was Ii fancy, or did the dresses, too,
hint at the tints Of the foliage? The
green leaves streakod with bronze and
amber are commonplace enough In these
days OF shot silks and fleeting, eYasive
colors. But nature knows no black,
and one Of the prettiest afternoon
gowns j saw was delicately lined with
bands OF black g pale mauve, on the
skirt, on the epsulets and across the
bosom. There was q hint Of black puff
ing at waist and elbow, and the tiny
overskirt followed so closely the cut Of
the gown beneath that One might be
excused for failing to notice that there
was any overSkirt at sll.
In the wardrobe OF the pretty bride
was a house dress, tea gown, you might
call It, though is would do equally we'll
for less formal evening uses, that was
distinctly English in its tone. The
skirt was straight and scant, decked by
q bit Of embroidery about the bottom OF
its delicate yellow skirt. The belt was
wide, Wrinkled, embroidered at the
edges. The sleeves, wide and flowing,
were open on the outside 10 the shout
der that they might free to view flmy
creamy lace, and a plated front Of
creamy silk was shirred across the
bosom. This was very effective.
November is football in society, as
October WAS yachting. It is good
form TO take an interest in the games
whether one has a brother at Yale or
no. Strange are the devices wherein
eoQuetry aud patriotism combine 10 q
lady's gown TO show at once her beauty
and her colors.
Dear mer' sighed q piquant little
beauty in a Yale coach al one OF the
minor games, "all the Harvard girls
ought to be bruRettes and all the Yale
girls blondes. / would like TO wear
red"
Yet the dark-eyed little witch looked
entiCingly enough in her tailor-made
robe OF blue, very dark blue, Of course,
with big buttons aud such . stunning
picture hat. The Harvard costumes
one seldom sees aud hears little
about in New York. Scarlet gives
piQuart opportunities, however, though
/ doubt il more brilliant use a be
made Of them than was made Of the
Princeton colors by one pretty girl who
waved her handkerchief at the bruised
and painting gladiators, clad In q dt-
yinely fitting jacket Of bright yellow,
whose collar, wide cape and deep, close
cuffs were heavily crOsS-oarred with
black I'm a way to make q tiger jealous.
UDon some compilations this would be
trying.
Fur this year-fur upon rough cloth,
upon silk, upon velvet, upon any ma
terials and all materials wheTewith fur
was seldom yet aSsOciated-iS the sea-
sons popularity. To see q jacket OF
rough or smooth silk, trimmed with fur
and further adorned with seemingly in
congruouS b~eieckment OF embroidery
or even beading Is by no mans rare.
The old-fashiOned furs are in liberal
pse. mink and chinchilla and ermine
and fox and marten-nO matter
what. II it lend its color to some
consistent scheme. The contrast
Of dark rich fur with cloaks OF much
Ilehter color is but another instance OF
the seasons love Of strong contrast
sbavn In the favOrite combination OF
blaek aud white. A beautiful long
clegk. reaching &c the ground, and
decked with dark fur only at collar and
writs. illustrates this PECULIARLY. The
