Instead OF II maid 81 Honor.

Instead OF n Maid Of Honor.
Harpers Bszsi.
The nration or honor, as rival 10 the
maid OF honor. seems to have established
herself pretty securely. At some of tho
weddings the two divide the honois he.
tween them, but one of the Octobe. brides
vas attended, or preceded rather, by a
natron of honor, without any maids ct sll.
Tho Introduction OF tNe mNtron as an at
tendant for a bride has been welcomed by
girls who have single strong friendship.
Hitherto the first one to marry has en-
tcyed having her friend as maid OF ho1oy;
while the maid of honor, when she became
herself bride, was forced to be content
with some less intimate acquaintance rs
an attendant.
Ono OF the prettiest October weddings
occurred In the Church OF the Heavenly
Rest. II was remafksble 10 the spectators
because of the exquI site color scheme
which prevailed. The bride, very naturally,
wore white; the maid OF honor Wore pink,
end the seven bridesmaids gllmmerei IN
silvery green satin. They seemed like llv-
ing flowers--a white rose and Il pink ona
with shining green 1eayes-and the effett
was wonderfully beautiful whom they
passed down she aisle between TALL stand
ards filled with sprays Of pink and Of
