breadths there are nine rows Of large wax

breadths there are nine rows OF large wax
pearl beads, and On the left side of tho skirt
at the waist there is a trailing spray of
orange blossoms. The corsage had four
rows of the pearl beads on tho upper por-
ton both front and back. The lower part
was draped, surplicc fashion, with white
bengaline, and the large gigot sleeves were
also Of bengalinc. The veil was of tulle
and is to cover the whole figure, both front
and back. 1t is not hemmed, as it is
thought the hem makes the veil drag heav-
lily. A pretty spray Of orange blossoms is
placed on the hair a little to ono side.
The young lady who is to act as brides
maid will wear a gown Of blue and white
striped algerian cloth, made walking
length. On the bottom of the skirt is set a
large windmill bow, with f1shtail ends.
Around the skirt near the waist is a row
of persian embroidery. The snug corsage
Is made of the same, and it fastens invis-
IDLY. The sleeves are cut On the bias and
arc medium sized gigot. The hat is of dark
blue straw and has plumes of the same
color as the stripes on the dress. She car
RIGS the BRIDES bouquet, which will DO of
white heather and white lilacs. Few brides
carry orange blossoms now, as they are
not very graceful flowers in a bouquet.
Since we arc speaking of weddings I
may as well continue and tell Of two or
three other dresses belonging to these two
particular brides, as the gowns are stylish
and elegant and quite worthy Of imitation.
One of these gowns was a delicious morn
ing dress of oyster white cta1nine. It was
arranged in semiclassic Ind very ample
folds. All around the bottom and up the
front as well as around the long open
sleeves there was q Crock key pattern done
in light blue satin ribbon, feather stitched
on with silver thread. There was a blue
and silver cord and tassels to confine it to
the waist. 1t was lined with pale blue
dorentine silk.
For q travelling gown, which is to be for
a European trip, there is a short tailor
made dress of bunbcg suiting, with a
jacket of the same over a gray cloth vest.
There is an ulster of gray Irish frieze,
with roomy bishop sleeves and deep pock-
cts, capable of holding many necessaries.
Fol afternoon thero is q striped black and
white pcau do sole, made quite plain and
walking length. There is a quantity of
black thread lace draped over the shoulders
and across the bust and down to the feet
diagonally in cascade fashion, headed by a
very narrow but fine jet trimming. This
laco is all in n piece. The dress is cut
princess style.
Then there is apretty dress for semiform-
al occasions made of mode crepon, trim
med across the shoulders with point dc
gene lace over pink silk. Around the bot
tom is q festooned rufle of the lace 10
inches deep, and this has a twisted roll of
pink ribbon as heading, with small bows
at the apex of each festoon. There is also
a cherry satin dinner dress smothered in
black fedora net, with bourbon edges, the
whole of the lace being spangled with
black. Around the neck, which is cut low
across the shoulders, there is a fringe made
of spangles Of jet. 1t makes a very strik-
ing gown, but if any lady wishes to have
one like it let her DO careful to select her
goods by lamplight, as only certain shades
