The list Of society events this past

many more small receptions and a. card

very readily explained, for the signs
have been numerous and unnistakable.

This Rabbit had Two Horns.

J. c. Rutledge, of Wichita. Kan., while hunting near Elk City brought down a rabbit which upon examination proved to be freak of nature. having pair of well-deveIoped horns. The animal did not differ in any respect from the ordi- nary cotton tair' of our fields, except that right at the base of the ears there cropped out two wel1-defned horns . little over two inches in length and about an inch in circumference. They were composed of hard substance of about the consistency of horses hoof and there is no reason to doubt that they had been there from birth. The monstrosity is being mounted by taxi dermist and will be displayed to won dering visitors to Elk City as another of the marvellous productions of our mar yelous state,

ELLEN OSBORN'S LETTER.
Pretty Frocks That Were Worn in
 Honor Of a French Bride.
She Had Two Wedding Gowns-The Civil and Religious Ceremonies and the Toilets Which They Respec-
 lively Require.
TConyright. 1s971

A young French girl with whom l became acquainted when she passed through New York on her way to the worlds fair in Chicago was married yesterday, and some account of the wedding fneries may prove interest ing. Not that marriages in France diff fer notably from marriages in other parts of the civilized world, but because in one essential the likeness is so strong the occasion calls for great dis play of pretty clothes.
 French women have two chances at wedding dresses, for they are twice married. The civil ceremony requires discretion in the choice of gown. The importance of the function must be rec ognized by toilet fresh and charm ing, but thera are many modifying con alterations. The prospective bride is still "jeune fille," and so by French custom must put on nothing of any great state or richness. On the other hand, she is about to be transformed into a ''jeune femme," and must look forward to her coming privileges. A quiet dress of some dignity, yet youth Unlocking and modest, is the ideal aimed at for the ceremony at the marie. As the gown is apt to be used afterward for visiting, it may be meas urably like an English brides going away" dress, which is more decorative than simple travelling gown. At times it approaches afternoon or quiet re- ception dress more closely. Everything depends, of course, on the means and position of the bride.
 The guests at the civil ceremony keep their finest clothes for the religious ceremony and then dress as beautifully as they can.
 The young girl of whose froclSs am going to tell you wore at the marie very charming gown. She has the clear, pale skin and delicate features that one learns to look for in Paris, with very pretty and abundant dark hair.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-01-31

were short, as demanded by the sea. sons long sleeves. White slippers were worn and look of beautitude. A bride is not supposed to look pretty, but this bride was an exception. Per haps the difference in her favor was the look of beautitude.
 Fashion puts no limit to the number of bridesmaids. In this case there were six, two little tots and four young girls, educated in the same convent with the bride. The little tots, who were seven years old, possibly, wore very short frocl1s of white liberty silk, with drawn yokes and sleeves of white chiffon and chiffon ruches about the hems. They had pale blue sashes edged with chif- ion frills, and big hats of blue velvet with white plumes.
 The grown up bridesmaids wore gowns of ivory satin with plain skirts. The bodices had sashes of pale blue vel vet swathed round the figure and fas- tened with graduated paste buttons. They had very pretty fchus also, that you should look at in the picture, of fine white mousseline de soie, edged with lace and held in place by brooches of pearls and turquoise. They had cavalier hats of white velvet with long blue feathers and paradise plumes. French bridesmaids do not always dress alike. By failing to do so they spoil the pie ture, but there was no such drawback on this occasion.
 am not going to talk trousseau, be- cause trousseau garments are all Tor one woman and one figure. It is more profitable to pick cut a few of the pret- tiest frocks I sas7 at the ceremony.
 The mother of the bride wore a very handsome princess costume in lilac moire. The bodice was finished with a guipure plastron and bolero of ame- thyst velvet, from which two square tabs hung below the waist line. A Med- ici collar of fine old lace and some ar tistic buttons were the garnitures. Her capote was a pale blue satin with bouquets of violets. She carried huff trimmed with violets and an air of con- tent and satisfaction.
 A conspicuous figure at the reception after mass and ceremony, was grace ful young woman all in green. Her trim bodice was of very rich velvet and apparently seamless, opeHlng invisibly upon the shoulder and under the arm The very high eorselet was rounded in

the back, but came ap in two points in front, almost to the shoulders. This corselet was of green silk embroidered in silver, and was eneircled by three narrow belts of green velvet, one above another, closing with tiny silver buckles and bows of green ribbon. Ribbon bows disposed in three rows made eDaulets on the shoulders, while more ribbon formed ruche of loops above the stand ing collar of mink fur. The sleeves were of velvet with mink bands at the wrist. The skirt was of dark green silk laid in folds all around and opening in front upon panel of velvet simulat- ing an underskirt. This panel was edged with mink at the hem. The silver em- broidery on the corselet came down upon the side panels of the skirt, in arabesques and scrolls. In spite of it's heavy materials the costume was iaunty and dainty-looking, setting off well slightly flushed cheel5s ard dark curly hair. Her large hat of black velvet was trimmed with green ribbons and long black feathers.
 Another convent friend wore a very smart dress in gray and gold, of tailor cut, as the French modify tailor cutting. The little bolero of fine. beautiful gray cloth had a great round collar, which lay over upon the shoulders and was richly embroidered in gold. It opened upon close-fitting, pointed bodice of blue cloth, gold embroidered. The sleeves were of new cut, sloping grad ually from shoulder to hand. The gray skirt was rather full for these days, nearly five yards round and was made with godets and heavily-embroide at the bottom. A Medici collar at the throat and gray hat with gold ribbon and black feathers are the other items that have stayed in my mind.
 The bridegroom's mother was an i'm Fosing figure in a black velvet redin- gote, ground length and lined with white satin. Over the redingote she wore what is called "dalmatique," or shoulder cape with square ends com ing to the waist or below. This was of white lampas broche with scroll work in velvet and finished with a Medici collar and an edging of sahle fur.
 And the bridegroom? He doesn't mat ter. Men are of no account st wed- ding.
