LOVES SYLVAN RETREATS
The Fashionable Bride Hunts Moose
and Caribou in the Forests.
"Where do the newly welded spend
their honeymoons?' somebody asked
the other day. and a girlish matron,
whose dignities are not more than SIX
weeks old, promptly assured the in

them and disappear, with guides, tehtS
and mountains of furs, into the big
forests for a fortnight's camping. Per
haps it's the novelty of the conditions
that makes everything seem so anus
ing, and some of the honeymood hunt
ers have gone as far north as Nova
Scotia. Most of the brides shoot web
themselves, but even if they don't

1t is with rather a comical feeling Of
mixed pleasure and dismay that an up
! to-date woman of the period finds her
self a grandmother. and it is safe to
say that, in most instances the dis
may rather preponderates, as the tiny
scrap of humanity placed in her arms
causes her to realize that she is en-
titled to that venerable title which she
! has always associated with old age and
more or less decrepitude. AS many of
| the erandmothers of our day are
charming women still in the zenith of
! their good looks and power of attrac-
/ ton it is hardly to be wondered at that
| they should dislike a name that is not
even pretty or loving, and that they
should teach their children's children
to call them by some attractive title,
so that nowadays the name grand
mamma is seldom heard.
"Bonne maman" is the pretty French
adaptation which is often used, and
granny" is also in vogue. 20 NUT
terchen" is the caressing diminutive
used by little girl who has a German
nurse, and the most beautiful and de-
voted of grandmothers. 'Madre mia"
is another pretty title. taken from the
Italian, which serves in another in

grandparent from the parent Can

bestowed upon her charming grand
mamma.
A very smart toilette has skirt of
dark blue taffeta. falling in many
graceful folds and finished without
garniture. and is lined with light blue
glace silk.
The stylish astrakhan Jacket has
short, full basques and is lined with
glace silk the same shade as the skirt
lining. The epaulettes, belt and collar
are made of chinchilla fur, while two
revers of the astrakhan trim the
center of the front from the neck to
the belt. The leg mutton sleeve at
the wrist is cut in two points which
fall over the hand. a style that has
found favor with many of the fair sex,
as it makes the hand look very small.
The black velvet toque is trimmed on
the left side by a black ostrich feather
and black aigrette and a gray feather
pompon placed close to the edge, with
half resting on the toque and half on
the hair.
