Ingenuity Is racked these days to
devise fanciful costumes for bride
maids and train bearers. Close lace
caps for the little train-bearers are
fancy of the hour. At a recent we'd
ding in ST. Georges, Hanover square,
London the brides train was borne
by three little girls in empire gowns
of ivory and white chine silk yelled
In white chiffon, with fichus of the
chiffon and high mauve sashes. They
carried baskets of mauve sweet peas
and wore the close little lace caps.
At another wedding there were two
rain-bearers who wore quaint long
WASTED Stuart frocks of white satin
and had white chiffon fichus caught
together with white roses. The roses
were used also to border the close lace
caps which the little maidens wore
There were nine trademarks at this
last wedding and they were dressed in
rose gowns with attention paid 70
every detail, says the Daily News
Their dresses were OF white mechlin
lace over silk. The fril's Of the skirt
were strewn with pink rose petals, and
heading the frills all around were gar
lands Of pink roses and foliage. The
waists had transparent yokes and
sleeves and were finished with fichus
of ruffied net covered with garlands OF
pink roses and foliage. The sleeves
were caught at the elbow with roses.
The hats we're composed entirely OF
rose petals, the crowns were wreathed
with roses, and there were great
punches OF them on tho 'urned-up

The Sigshse incident at Santiago was
handled In peculiarly ndroit way. Mr.
Ilapna said the apparent contradiction
existing between the admiral and Capt.
Sigsbse could be easily explained.
Sigsbee was an old and efficient
officer, who had been entrusted with an
important mission. lie was to scout
End find the Spanish fleet This being
his first and most important duty, he
had gone to Santiago. and the entrance
to the harhor being tortuuus, and the
harlIor inside being large enough to
hold the entire British navy, he GOULD
not have known whether the Spanish
fleet was 10 there or not, lie could not
60 in, and he could not see in. There
fore, he could not have told Commodore
Schley that Cerveras' fleet was not
there. But IL he had told him so, as
several witnesses had testified, then it
was Schley's duty not to believe him,
but to learn for himself.
GAIT. Parker will present his argu-
ment for Sohley today, after Mr.. Hanna
concludes. Mr.. Rayner will probably
get started with his speech tomorrow.
