Noted at June weddings.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
Decidedly quaint was a wedding gown
worn by a June bride. of white satin. with
angel sleeves of pleated chiffon, which ex-
tended nearly to her knees. To carry out
the quaint idea she wore very long mitts of
white silk lace. They were almost as long
as gloves. and merely showed the tips Of
her fingers.
A novel idea of another bride Of the
month was the wearing of two wells The
under one was OF tulle. and not only fell
over the entire length of her white satin
train. but down the sides as well, and
was draDed somewhat like the wells worn
by Sisters of Charity. over this came a
smaller veil of beautiful point lace. 1t
was square in shape. and one corner was
arranged so as TO fall over her forehead
i'm a way to suggest a Marie Stuart Golf.
Her low. soft pompadour supported the
lace. and gave the effect on each side of
two large dark r~osettes. hat is. seen from
the distance as she walked up the aisle.
HOneysuckles instead OF orange bios
SONS was the original idea of another in
dependent bride. The effect of the long
spray of the sweet-scented flowers falling
down the front Of her gown from the left
shoulder TO below the knees was extremely
pretty. \ few Of these flowers fastened
her Nalenciennes lace veil.
Trimmed lace is another innovation for
brides. one of the p%rettiest brides of the
season wore a gown of chiffon and lace,
the latter trimmed with cords of white
satin applied in waved lines, which stood
out in bold relief against the flmy back
ground. The trained skirt was draped in
front with this satin trimmed lace, as was
also the bodice, which, like the sleeves,
had undulating satin cords adjoining II.
Her veil was draped in a decidedly novel
fashion 1t was tied in a broad bow wired
10 hold II in place on her couture, where 1t
was fastened with a spray of orange bios
An innovation in. the bouquet of the maid
of honor marked one of the smart weddings
of the month. II was of white sweet peas,
from which fell innumerabIe white satin
ribbon trails knOtted with sprays OF
sweet peas, giving the effect of a shower
of those blossoms all the way down the
front of her skirt. A pretty bit of color
was introduced into the bouquet by a big
bunch of moss rosebuds on one side. Speak
ing Of bouquets, IL should be said that
bridesmaids and maids of honor carried
these very low-far below the waist line.
Another bride. charmingly gowned, re
placed the time-honOred point de lace with
guipure. which covered the entire front of
her white chiffon skirt and bodice.
Bridesmaids carrying, instead of bou-
Duets, charmingly lace-frilled p~arasOls was
another novelty introduced into a wedding
OF the month. These sunshades were of
light green chiffon, and near the handles
over which green silk leaves were scat
tered. The effect was charming.
At another wedding the bridesmaids de-
parted from the traditional hower-trimmed
hats and wore large black ones OF straw,
adorned with black ostrich plumes. These
were most effective with their frocks of
yellow Organdie, which were matched by
bouquets Of pale yellow daisies.
a pretty and unusual eject was obtained
net long ago in the dresses of the brides
raids at a fashionable wedding. These
Mere Of white tucked organdie inserted
with lace. and made over pale green chif-
ION, which impaired TO them a shimmery,
Opalescent c%Oloring. Touches of green
were introduced on the bodice in the form
of Liberty silk gtrdles. with short sashes
IN the back. and twists of green chiffon
outlining yokes. The bridesmaids who
wore these fascinating frOcks carried. in
stead OF flowers, immense bouquets OF Far
leyence ferns.
In the matter OF wedding cake there is.
OF course, no change. but an innovation
was introduced recently in the wav of
serving IL. Instead of the square or oh
long boxes to which one has been accus-
toned so long. at a country wedding not
long ago. the guests received their tinv
hampers made OF willow and containing
more than enough cake TO take home with
them TO dream upon. These hampers were
trimmed with white satin ribbon tied i'm
bows. one end of each bows streamer had
the intertwined initials OF the bride and
groom In gold. while on the other end an
peared the recipients name. Fastened to
the BOWS OF these little hampers were
punches of white lilacs.
