ing orange flowers, and they are at once
the Joy and sorrow OF the brides heart.
She does not feel a bride without them,
and they are difncult to arrange. Several
English brides this fall have worn them
In the form of wreaths under plain or
embroidered tulle wells, most of them

Bridesmaids at some of the fall we'd
dings have worn exceedingly pretty cos
tunes Among the best of these were
those OF the attendants OF the little Irish
bride. These were appropriate frocks Of
cream colored Irish poplin, with soft
chenille dotted hchus OF net and big
shirred hats Of brown chiffon trimmed
with shaded roses running from soft
cream TO deep grange, and tied with long
strings of brown chiffon. Another quaint
lot of bridesmaids gowns were of satin,
with big hchus crossing the corsage. and
full skirts with ruffies and ruchings. The
hats with these pretty frOcks were big
ones Of white beaver, trimmed with ruch-
ings of white velvet and long white
plumes. The bouquets were of chrysan-
theInums and autumn foliage.

Victorian style were Of silver beaver tied

maids were In pink linen de sole gowns,

dahlias and bouquets of shaded chrysan-
themums. As the guests arrived at the

brances, while the bridegroom remembers
his best man and ushers. In many Of the
recent English weddings It was the bride-
groom who made gifts to the brides at
tendants. These may. but do not always,
have special significance. The Irish
bride presented brooches to her maids,
and these were in the form of a sham
rock.

unusually 1ubilant frame Of mind. pre-
sented gold bangles to two little maidens
who acted as trainbearers to his bride.

gold links, and the two other pages re-
ceived turquoise pins from the bride
whom they attended But the bridegroom
at this same wedding presented the
bridesmaids with brooches in the form OF
bees

maids all received gifts from the BRIDE
grooms. In one case they were In the
form OF gold hatpins. Gold bangles seem
to be a favorite, and i second bride-
groom presented these to the brides-
maids. four little girls in blue frocks, the
sisters of the bride. and six bridesmaids
received each blue enameled butterfly
brooch from another bridegroom.
Modern history is repeating itself in
saying that the opal is losing its reputa-
tion as a gem of III omen. Or it may be
because It is the stone for October. in
which case 1t becomes lucky, but at least
two October brides have received gifts OF
opals from their bridegrooms one a
necklace OF opals and pearls, and both
wore the stones as wedding day orna-
ments.-New York Times.
