that has come across the water. the bride

Gainsborough's portrait of the Duchess OF
Cumberland. Her only ornament was
string of pearls. In her hand was a loose
bunch OF orange blossoms, grown u the
conserva tories of her own home.
Her train was carried by three children
little Lord Wendoyer. Viscount Ednam, and
Miss Daphne Bourke. The boys wore pages
costumes. scarlet coats. white knee
breeches. waistcoats of gold and rose, chif
fon ties. white silk stockings. and black
shoes. and carried three-cOrnered hats.
The little girl wore a pelisse of white
panne. over lace, cape bordered with
sable. and had lace bonnet. The seven
bridesmaids wore gowns OF white gauZe,
with tucked bodices and skirts, long coats
OF scarlet cloth, with capes edged with
sable, the coats opening in front over era
watts of white chiffon. Their hats were
three cornered and of black velvet. with
paste buckles and white ostrich plumes.
Their hair was dressed low and tied at the
name of the neck with bow of black sa in.
They carried large sable muffs. with an

We can challenge the world in the mat
ter of diamond sunbursts and shower bou-
uuets. but have our brides ever copied
Gainsborough or our maids wore long scar
let coats and cooked hats? Never!
