DADEVILLE.

Dadeville, August 27.-(Special)-A the Baptist church on Tuesday, August 23, was joined in holy wedlock MT. Robert Lafferty King and Miss Callie Burns. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and was filled with friends who came to do honor to the young bride, who leaves with the love and good wishes from every man, woman and child in Dadeville. She comes of fine family, being granddaughter of General M J. Bulger and a grand-neice of Dr. Bozeman, of New York. She is young woman of rare personal grace, and sweetness of character. The groom is a young man of unusually fine business qualification and the highest moral charac- ter. His name is recognized as one of the best in North Carolina, of which state he is a native.
 At 1 o'clock the bridal party reached the church. Never bride had a more beautiful bevy of maids than did she. They were her cousins, Miss Bressie Bulger, maid of honor, Miss Heulette Bulger, Miss Fannie Bulger and Miss Mamie Banks. The bridesmaids were very sweet and lovely in white organdie, and carried La France roses tied with pink ribbons. The grooms- men were MT. W. J. Ashton, of Birming ham, best man, MT. J. Lee Wicks, Dr. G. c. Chapman, of Birmingham, and pr. B. C.. Duncan. The ushers were Professor J. D. Lane MT. Curry Shaffer, MT. A. B. Bur- roughs, MT. Robert Crow.
 The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Mendelssohn, played by the sister Of the bride, Miss Stella Burns. They formed a semi about the altar. where

cream lace. The collar was tall rolling affair, with the corners turned back at the front to show a facing of mauve satin. Around the base of the collar there was a double frill of the lace arranged as a era vat at the front
 A crisp, girlish gown was made Of let tuce green glace taffeta and English ap- plique lace. a4
 The skirt was made rather close-htting at the top and was gored to flare gener- ously at the bottom. The upper part was covered with English applique lace twenty inches deep at the front where 1t form- ed a rounding point.
 ANOTHER CORSAGE.
 The corsage was made of lettuce green chiffon laid in tiny horizontal plaits. over it the lace was arranged like high COTS let with a scalloped edge.
 The sleeves were of the lace to quite way above the elbow where narrow piaits of the plaited chiffon commenced. Epau- lettes made of three full frills of the chlf- fon topped the sleeves.
 A narrow band of raspberry velvet rip- bon was laid over the high plaited chit- ion collar, and larg bow on the same velvet was fastened on the left side Of the corsage at the bust line A narrow roll of the raspberry velvet was employed for the centure.
 Lace plays an important part in sum- mer millinery. Some of the most raVlsh- ing of the carriage hats that the milliners boast are made of lace. The frames Of these hats are covered with weblike
The age-herald., 1898-08-28

lace was made over a transparency of cream surah. The under skirt of lace was made with a slight train and was trim med around the bottom with two rows of black gauge ruches. The tunic of the lace was draped with a point at the front and was trimmed like the skirt with black ruches.
 The lace corsage was a blouse, opening over a vest of apricot China silk shirred full. Broad revers formed of eight bias folds of the silk, turned back from the vest. These were trimmed around with a narrow ruche of the black gauge. Round scallops of the cream lace threaded with tiny black velvet ribbon edged both sides of the vest.
 The sleeves of the lace were long and close fitting as far as the elbows and from there they were slightly gathered. Two frills of lace gave the finish at the wrists.
 pretty gown for half mourning was made of pale gray point desprit over the same shade of surah. The skirt was made with a double hounce, the upper one a trifie longer at the front. They were both edged with a band of coarse black net ap pliqued with black lace.
 A LACE WAIST.
 The corsage was a full blouse of the point d'esprit trimmed around with three bands of the black net
 Point d'esprit was employed for the sleeves. They were close fitting and were mounted at the tops with high short puffs bordered with a band of the net. Another band of the net gave finish at the wrists.

discarded, becomes more popular. It is as though the woman of fashion were draw ing her f1eecy web close around her at the first approach of cold.
 Lace has been the popular garnfture for the gauzy mousseline de soie and chiffon gowns for two or three seasons. Stealthi- ly it has crept into favor and now holds first place among the materials for dressy summer and fall toiiettes.
 Lace gowns are as much in vogue as they were ten or twelve years ago, and this season one notices the popular Vene- tian and Spanish lace woven in larger and more striking pattern.
 GAY LACES
 They are not the sombre black affairs that they were in days gone by; for some bright shade of taffeta often serves for the transparency to the black lace, and the cream lace gowns that are generally made over the same shade of taffeta boast no end of bright touches of ribbon and vel vet.
 Some such charming lace gowns are made of old lace shawls that are admira. ply transformed into tunics by the coutu- riers. The valuable old shawls are so harshly treated that they can never be considered as heirloomS again. For the center is cut out round and gathered on to the waist band of the transparency so that the points reach nearly to the bot tom of the skirt. Of course the same kind of lace is used lavishly in the trimmings of the corsage
 A chic gown made on these lines had a transparency of violet taffeta in rather an intense shade. The tunic made of an ex- quisite old black lace shawl was draped so that one of the points at the front of the skirt was longer than those at the side and back.
 The corsage of the taffeta was trimmed with the same lace arranged to give the effect on a short bolero with full jabot at the front.
