| The experiences of the past week in the
way of weather will probably deter the
| brides of another year in settling upon
| June dates. The month of roses sounds all
| right, but when events call for heavy satli
| gowns and long frock coats and tall col
| lars the wearers can neither feel nor
| look comfortable. The ushers at the
| Observation-Disclosures wedding the other day
| heroically wore gloves, although the per-
| SEPARATION caused weakening lines to appear
| in their collars, but when Miss Mcmillan
| passed up the aisle it was a comforting
thought to many others with ungloved
hands to see that she wore none. Her
! bridesmaids costume, by the way, was the
most elegant seen this season, and the
pretty rose tulle toque she Wore with 1t
| will probably be copied many times before
the summer is over The brides dress was
the very essence of simplicity, but her dia-
mondS were so superb that it needed no
further ornamentation. The floral decora-
| ton Of the church was unusually effective
and much admired.
The cool spell will give those who dislike
to leave the capital a good excuse for re-
manning. There We're so many formal en-
tertainments the past week, the embassy
dinners being the most notable, that the re-
| turn of enjoyable weather will probably
tempt a further continuance. Golf was al
most impossible lately, but may now pick
up, before society entirely scatters. How
ever spasmodtc. the gayetfes may be here.
it is not any liveler anywhere else. New
port is duh and may be for a month longer.
Those who have country places near home
are probably the best off now in the way of
comfort and rest, and especially if they are
able to go north for July and August.
