cinnamon vine, IL was drawn by Two hand
some horses, one white and one black, and
they were driven by coachman in livery.
Col. Francis Goodhue and ex-Gov.
Frederick HOlbrook occupied Col. Good
hue's private carriage which was simply
but effectively decorated with strpamers of
pink and apple green brought together at
the back in a large rosette. The horses
were adorned with streamels of the same
color
A landau drawn by two spirited brown
horses driven by livered coachman was
occupied by Miss Dorothy Mitchell, Miss
Florence Wellman and Miss Addie Warner.
Yellow marigolds, red dahlas, asparagus
branches and red and yellow satin ribbons
were the decorations, which combined har-
moniousiy with the white costumes of the
occupants of the landau, each of whom
carried white umbrella.
The white costumes of Mrs. II. X.
Brown and Misses Minnie Haskins, Mary
ellison and Georgianna Cook stood out in
delightful contrast from the solid lavender
decorations of trap drawn by two black
horses. A canopy effect was produced by
four corner poles and one centre pole with
festoons of wistera and satin ribbon
streamers. With the horses pumed and
the harness to correspond with the other
decorations, the turnout was ar;stically
beautiful and gave pleasing variety to the
cavalcade.
A pair of cream and black horses drew a
surrey prettily decorated with cream and
black bunting and carrying Misses Esther
knight, Stella Stickney, Marjorie White
and Helen Emerson, who were clad in
cream and black and carried parasols of
| the same color.
Autumn leaves, natural wild flowers and
evergreen vines were used artistically in
decorating the two-seated surrey of STRAIT
tan II Foster from ''Silverdale." White
bunting formed the background on the
= canopy top which had a border of ever
green, while yellow bunting was used for
the same purpose on the body of the car
riage. Messrs. Strattan and Foster and
their wives rode behind two handsome bay
horses which were decorated with flowers
A striking novelty was the carriage oc-
cupied by Mrs. G. II. Thompson and Miss
Louise Rawson. Each wheel represented
a sunflower, the body of the wagon was
trimmed with orange, and parasol of sun
flower pattern was overhead. The two
young ladies were dressed in yellow with
suntlower hats and the horse and harness
were trimmed with the same color.
A very pretty single team was that which
carried Miss Helen Fletcher and Eleanor
NOyes. The wheels and body of the car
riage were trimmed with white bunting
covered with purple rosettes and the har-
ness of the horse was trimmed with white
and purple bows. The occupants were
dressed in white.
The snow white turnout of Mrs. c. S.
Pratt and Mrs. c. o. Robbins was a beau
tiful allegorcal representation of winter.
While the eye was captvated by the snowy
crystals the ear caught the jingle of the
wintry bells. The ladies were in white
and the horse, harness and all parts of the
carriage were in this color. The wheels
were first wound in white and afterward
each alternate spoke was covered with cot
ton, star was fastened to each interven-
ing spoke and the whole was sprinkled
| with diamond dust
The buggy of Mrs. G.. II. Ryder was
| prettily trimmed with yellow and white
bunting over which was asparagus. The
wheels and running gear of the buggy
were wound with yellow and white and the
| back was banked with asparagus. The
bride and harness were trimmed with yell
| low poppies. Mrs. Ryder was accompan-
led by Mrs. II. w. Moore of Lafayette,
Ind, and both ladies were dressed in vel
| low.
t, Pardon the expression, but the golf cart
occupied by Mrs. Mary II. Hastings of
Walpole, n. H., and Mrs. w. S. Edgerly
of Concord, n. H., was "swell," when the
word means richness and style. The cart
was decorated with garlands of ruby and
amber poppies, the horse and harness were
decorated with similar flowers, and Mrs.
Edgerly's costume was ornamented with
them. The cart was drawn by a mahog-
any bay Morgan mare in brass mounted
harness.
A profusion of yellow marigolds and as
paragus gave beauty and charm to the vel
low trap in which rode Mrs. w. II. Brack-
EFT and Mrs. K. E. Perry in harmonizing
costumes. The same adornments upon
their horse were noticeable.
The oak Meadowbrook trap, in which
rode Mrs, Austin Akley and Miss Nellie
Jones of West Brattleboro, was ornamented
with old gold ribbons and black and yellow
bunting wound tightly about the spc Ike.
and thills. The occupants were dressed in
black and yellow and were drawn by q
white horse.
A pretty turnout was that which carried
George S. Atkins and Miss Gibson, matror
at the Retreat. The team and horse were
trimmed with yellow bunting and white
plumeS.
A clever imitation of an Irish jauntine
car was that which was driven by DaI
CuItin, dressed as an unmistakable son Of
the Emerald Isle, with Misses Treble anC
Carpenter in the costumes of Irish lassies
A veritable. bouquet in beauty was seer
when the trap appeared carrying Mrs. E. S
Bowen and Mrs. S. o. Miner. The vehi.
Gle was trimmed with profusion of small
yellow dahias, among which larger RED
dahlias were interspersed. The trap wa:
drawn bya single horse and the harness
was trimmed in yellow. 1t would be diff
cult to prepare trap that would delight
the eye more than this one.
Mrs. George Eels, Mrs. Frank Burnett
Miss Grace Eels and Miss Abbie Lundberg
rode in an arched high English dog carl
drawn by black horse. OF the decora
tions pink peoples predominated and har
monized well with the white background
and the green and white ropes which were
looped about the body of the cart The
rims of the wheels were in green, while
large stars were fastened in their centres.
Miss Ida Sergeant and Nettie Reid rode
