A fashion letter says:

title touches of color have been intro- duced upon some of the recent bridal toilettes. Small turquoises and even opals. which were once supposed to bring so much bad luck in their train, have been seen, mingled with the pearls and diamonds and silver embroideries which are almost inseparahle nowadays from a wed- ding dress. Further than this, too, certain brides have gone, and, dis carding altogether the usual orange blossom, they have had their gowns trimmed with other flowers, such for in- stance, as roses or lilies. Complete princess robes of real lace, made up over chiffon and satin, of course, and worn with court trains of white duchess satin, will be frequently used for bridal gowns, while in other cases the original gown of satin will be so draped and covered with deep iounces of real lace that only an occasional geam of the foundation will be visible here and there. Long scarves of Brussels point daiguille and of fine Alencon lace will also ornament the trains of many wedding dresses. while in some cases the long, tight fitting sleeves falling in points over the back of the hand will also be made of real lace.
 The ten bridesmaids who will follow Lady Peggy Primrose on the occasion of her mar rage to Lord Crewe win wear pale prim- rose yellow sashes and possibly carry prim- rose bouquets. A very pretty effect may often be obtained by choosing the dresses of the bridesmaids in the exact coloring of some particular blossom, and letting their bouquets be composed of those spe- cial flowers. For an April wedding. for in- stance, group of daffodil bridesmaids might be very prettily carried out. Their bouquets should be of daffodils, surrounded by gray green foliage and tied with white satin ribbons. A touch of white is always useful to connect the bridesmaids with the whiteness of the brides attire. Then their dresses might be of the palest daffodil yell low crepe de chine, with slightly draped skirts, showing on either side near the hem a petticoat of gray green glace silk and having folds of gray green panne at the waist and again at the throat. The gray green penne should of course match ex- actly the color of the daffodil foliage, and the hats should be large shapes in fine white chip, trimmed with yellow ostrich feathers and white chiffon and tied with gray green velvet strings. Forget et-me-not dresses in turqouise blue crepe de chine might be arranged on similar lines, with the green of the foliage repeated in the panne waist belts and collar bands. In this case, however, the white hats might be trimmed with pale blue and pale green chif- ion and turned up sharply on one side to- wards the front, with masses of forget-me- nots resting on the hair. A little later in the year roses will lend themselves to in- nlmerable dainty fancies for bridesmaids CresSes, whether they are Kept entirely white with touches of pale green, or whether they are made to harmonize with bouquets of bright pink, deep damask or even palest yellow roses.
