The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-11

rest Of the exquisite features that made
society stand agape recede, when the
wedding dress is up for it's never
wearying review. And so it will go
on, no doubt, until-but that day seems
far off-some equally ambitious society
wedding shall relegate this absorbing
subject definitely to history. Yet even
there it will have an enduring place.
AprOpos of the subjects of weddings
one of my correspondents sends me
description of a very pretty wedding
which took place recently at st. Peters
church, Eaton Square, London. The
contracting parties were Capt. George
Paley, of the Rifle Brigade, and Miss
Mildred Bloomfield Linton, youngest
daughter of the Countess of Aylesford.
Was Rose Wedding.
1t is talked of as one of the incest
weddings that have occurred in Lon
don this year, and may be contrasted
pro and con with the wedding of Miss
Oelrichs.
1t was rose wedding, and the
brides name flower was introduced
wherever possible. Miss Linton, who
was given away by her step-father,
the Earl of Aylesford, wore a gown of
soft white satin de chine, very prettily
tucked to form a point on the skirt,
while the sleeves and yoke were of the
ice was trimmed with chiffon roses,
leeaves of silver sequins, and sprays
of organge blossom, and the skirt was
bordered with a f1ounce of accordeon-
killed satin, headed and edged with
chiffon ruches and roses. The hand
some court train was composed of sill
yer gauze yelled with puffed chiffon,
and trimmed with trails of flowers and
leaves, and bows of silver tissue. The
bride wore a wreath of orange bios
SONS and tulle veil, and her only orna-
ment was a pearl necklace. Her lovely
bouquet was of white roses and orchids.
Two charming children acted as train
bearers, the little girl, dainty figure,
in white muslin and lace, with a rose
colored satin sash, and ribbons to
match in her mob cap, and the other
in a white silk suit with a pink sash
tied on one side, both wearing rose-col-
Ored shoes and Open-Work socks. There
were also six bridesmaids in gowns of
white silk muslin embroidered with silk
spots, and made with triple tunics
tucked and let loose to form founces
edged with a ruche.
With Lace BoIeros.
The bodices, drawn and tucked, were
finished with dainty lace boleros and
folded sashes of white satin, while the
sleeves were of lace and chiffon. Their
tulle) were sWathed with scarves of
French gauze, and draped with Allen
con lace falling over the brim, while
underneath was a cluster, of pink roses,
and from the back came a long scarf
of gauZe fastened on the front Of the
bodice with a chou of the same soft
material. They wore green enamel
rose-spray brooches, and carried tail
baskets of shaded roses, the bride
grooms gift to them. Capt. Holland,
a brother officer, supported Capt. Paley
as best man. The Rev. Montague Ne
pean and the Rev. John Storrs, vicar of
the parish, were the clergy. AS the
bridal procession passed UP the aisle,
preceded by the cross-bearer and boy
choristers, Flight the good fight with
all thy might was sung, and after the
address 80 Perfect Love-" The an
them was MendelsSohns lovely 80
Rest in the Lord which was most eff
fectively rendered by the excellent
choir of st. Peters. The bride went
away in a dress of pale blue poll de
chevre, made with a smartly tucked
skirt, with three vandyked f1ounces,
bound with a velvet killing at the hem
The bodice was tucked at the waist,
and arranged to form a boIero, while
the yoke effect was produced by some
old lace, and there was a front of tuck
ed chiffon, with small silver buttons.
The sleeves, tucked and inserted with
lace at the elbow, had deep pointed
cuffs to mach. The becoming hat was
draped with white chiffon and black
lace applique, and was trimmed with
black velvet and tiny pink rosebuds
and foliage. -Virgie Grafton.
