/ has invited ten Of her best girl friends to

| has been united to her betrothal; then
! they advance up the steps Of the chanceI
| to the minister, the ten bridesmaids in
| front of the church standing as bride and
| groom pass out. 1t is considered more
artistic for the bride to be the central
| feature, and not be contrasted with others
This is why it is decreed she shall stand
at the altar, the only woman among the
black coats of the men.
If she doesn't want to hurt the feelings
of girl friends by ignoring them let her do
as this bride will do-ask them to sit in
front and wear ner uniform. Large re-
ceptions after the ceremony are getting

their honeymoon. To go travelling to large
cities on ones honeymoon is not good
form That sentimental period must be
spent in some quiet old town or country
place; maybe some picturesque wayside
inn Even if the pair are fortunate
enough to have a European trip in store
for them it is taken after the honey

who would want to get acquainted with
ones husband, suffering from seasickness
and looking ugly and white as ghost?

permanent, surely! And so much vanity
is as necessary to a person as salt to an
egg. 1t gives flavor and relish to the per-
sonality.
The bridal gown is not so elaborate as
formerly. 1t is of exquisite texture, but
made plain, preferably. The train does
not need to be carried by pages, and the
bodice should be high-necked and with
long sleeves. No jewels should be worn,
and the veil, unless an heirloom of lace.
should be of tulle. The wreath of orange
blossoms is out but she wears at the
left side of her head a knot of these flow
ers.
The new wells have short piece over
the face which is thrown back as she
comes out of the church
Elaborate trousseaus are also going out.
The most frivolous of women even have
found that fashions change too quickly
and the majority of social demands are not
sufficient to require any great outlay of
costumes.

a grenadine for visiting, then the usual
complement of muslins, ginghams and
shirt waists. She is not supposed to be

AS for the dozens of underwear, this is
"out," too 1t can be all expressed in
the saying of a very bright well-known
girl in this city, who, when queried as to
her trousseau of lingerie, said: ooh,

Two girls in the Broadway car at about
| Blocker street had twenty minutes to
| catch the 4:10 Staten Island boat writes
| Clara Belle in the Cincinnati Enquirer
Every one in the car knew this, for the
| girls had talked it over and over Just
| as they had agreed that they had plenty
| of time one of them leaned out of the open
| car and cried eXcitedly, There he ISL
"Where?" shouted the other girl. why,
| therer' the first girl waved her little cape,
which she had brought. as she had ex-
planned because it would be sure to be a
| little chilly on the water. Then the other
! girl waved her salts bottle, for they had
notified the whole car that you can never
tell whether you are going to be seasick
| or not on a boat. The object of these
demonstrations, a rather good looking
man, did not observe them. He was
sauntering along, looking somewhat pre-
! occupied. "Wel, he can't say we are
late this time" said the first girl, folding
| up her cape "for we shall be there first"
BE there first! l should. think sou said
the other girl. He will never get the

| The car had made a stop since they had
first sighted the man they knew, and that
was how they were still in sight of him,
but now that they had started briskly
again they were, though they leaned so
| far out that the first girl nearly had her

think we are not coming! Go awayi (this
to a passing truck Oh, wave! Hi And

right in sight of the big ship, instead of
dining with all those lovely oficersr'
This was too much for the speakers
companion, who began to wave at the
conductor
Lets get off," she urged. excitedly;
hes stopped to look in a window; we
can run back to him and still have time
to catch a hanson or something and get
down all right. Come on; don't lose your
cape. 1 see him. Oh, dear me, l thought
had paid the fare herep'
The first girl hurriedly dug a ten-cent
piece from out the palm of her glove to
| appease the conductor, who barred her
way on the step, then she pumped down
and hastily followed her friend, who was
already half block toward the figure on
which their interest was centered.

painted as she caught up, land he is al
ways scolding about our being late. 1t will
be a lovely joke on him"
Yes, and he viii have to pay a han
som to go extra fast, too, or we shall miss
it, after all. There he has stopped again
to look at necktiesw
Both girls snorted with contempt
Indeed he will have to pay: my last 10
