drangfas are. probably. the least expensive
and most effective church decoration. their
cost being far less than that Of roses.
For the individual flowers which are to
be carried by the June bride nothing takes
the place Of the lily Of the valley. That
dainty flower holds its own the year round.
whether 1t be January marriage with
snow on the ground or q June ceremonial
under blue skies. Like diamonds to Miladys
Jewel box. so Is the lily Of the valley to
the brides bouquet. It cannot be excellsd
for elegance.
The left arm bouquet is the only ono at
present. This is made so as to At and to
completely cover the entire left arm and the
hollow which it encloses when bent at the
elbow. Over the arm hangs the shower Of
lilies. strands Of sprtngaret-which Is more
| graceful and newer than asparagus fern
trailing down over the entire front and

| bons. Miss Bessie Clark used narrow white
| velvet ribbons in her wedding bouquet last

| Bridesmaid bouquets are all to be fashioned

liiacs. as was Miss Sproule'S-she served
Miss Clark as maid Of honor-or else OF
Annunciation lilies. as were those Of the
other Clark maids.
