Wedding Ideas.

The girls have got an idea into their
heads this season that it is not at all
''the thing" 10 have q long string of
bridemaids walking up the aisle before
them when they go to the altar to be
married. The chic thing now is to
have maid of honor only. At thrs e
OF the largest weddiugs this autumn the
bride will have no bridemaids. Her
maid CT honor will be her only at
tendant. The reason for thi is sudden
change is that it has been proved a very
difficult matter for the girls to choose
among thei own relations, the cousins
of their hance, and other intimate
friends, without having more bride
maids than were either necessary or
consistent with the occasion.
A girl who Ia really lone of the
girls" and a great favorite, and so
fond OF all her friends that she could
not possibly decide upon any six or
eight of them for brid-maids, is to be
married soon. She will have for her
maid of honor girl WHO is friend of
her fiance and herself alike. The
brides gown will be of heavy ivory
satin with old lace, a git from her
mother, and her veil caught with orange
blossoms, will be tulle. Her maid of
honor will be eowned entirely in pale
pink, with large picture hat of black
velvet and plumes, and she will carry
huge bunch of American beauty
roses There will be large reception
at her mothers house afterwards, and
her mother will give her away, her
father being dead. The floral decora-
items Of this wedding are to be ex-
ce2tions lily pretty, and will prove the
good taste of the bride, as it was she
who chose them. The drawinG-rcoms
and dining room adjoioing, where the
COLLATION. will be served, will be en-
tirely hung with garlands of smilax
and white chrysanthemum=. Large
branches viii be tied here and there at
distances on the wall, and the ceiling
will be 60 arranged with strings of
smilsx as to form perfect bower of
green and white. At the eLt .ance of
the first drawing-~oom will be an arch
way of palms, where the bride and
groom will re ceive at one side. Here
they will stand under a mar rias e.
