been put upon it. Mrs. Willy K. Wander
pit has certainly managed the affair
without haste, without worry, and with
out work. Coaching up to almost the
week of the wedding, visiting friends in
the country up to the very day, and set
ting suddenly into a new house of her
own, high up the avenue above her hus-
bands family, she has yet attended per-
fectly to every detail.
The brides dress has fifty yards of ma
terial in its make. The train measures
six yards from the waist line, and is so
heavy that it is with difficulty pulled
along; The. skirt is many yards around,
and the train, the broad, square kind that
cannot be turned over. No court train
was ever as full.
The sleeves are the very large ones, with
the largest part near the elbow, and the
waist, while snug-htting, has a suggestion
OF drapery of silk and lace like a blouse.

yen worn with it is the one
Which the Duchesses of Marlborough
have worn for many generations.

presented to Miss COnsuelo by the Duke
mother last spring at Blenheim, when the
engagement really took place.
The decorations of the bridal process

Willy K. is peculiar in one respect. She
wants everything absolute perfection She
has given orders for thousands of red
roses for the church, red roses and palms.
that day as the lilies that are to be had,
the church is to be trimmed with lilies.
An effect is to be made at colonial sim
pAclty, as far as the floral decorations
are concerned. 1t is a fact that at several
very grand weddings the flowers were
many but not as fresh and beautiful as
they might be. Florists say that where
there are four walls to be entirely COW
cred with certain shade of red rose,
that 1t is impossible to have all the
roses cut that day, and so perishable are

At this wedding carnations and ferns
are one alternative, roses and ferns an
other, and white flowers a third. At the
rehearsal there were thousands of chrys-
anthemums and roses The roses were
CARRIED by the bridesmaids and the chrys-
anthemums stood in pots along the aisle
TO make a floral pathway.
Inc question of the giving away of the
bride has not yet been settled. Her ia

he bridal party two days ago, and in
OF so much ceremony needs many re-
hearsal But the last day or two friends
or Mrs. Ava have been urging her to
give her own daughter away, and there
Is a possibility that she will do it. Miss
ConSuelo has preference for her ia

central figure, and has not a great deal to
say, even in the matter Of her own we'd
ding.
Several extremely pretty customs are to
be observed in the wedding. The decora-

lavish in gifts. One of these is a watch
