ten as many as tcn little girls walking
side by side aud all dressed in dainty and
becoming frocRs with as much diversity in
color as possible. The boys are sometimes
clad In velvet suits with lace collars and
frills, but moro often aE picturesque pages
of olden time. To say that the small boy
Is happy or comfortable in such attire
would not be true, but his appearance
pleases the rest of the family, and that is
enough.
At recent wedding in one Of the
/ woalthiest families in New York there
were five little bridesmaids and five little
pages, two grown bridesmaids and two
/ groomsmen, and they made an imposing

The little maize colored bridesmaid of
10 was much admired for the originality
of her frOck, which WAS of soft twilled
surah with IA classical draped front. This

and was bordered by chocolate ribbon
laid on fiat. The sleeves were puffed and
ended at the elbows. This little maiden
was decided brunette and looked prettier
than can tell, in her maize colored dress,
with pink fillet in her hair. She had
white stockings and slippers with pink
bows ON the instcp and wore mousquetaire
gloves.
