| Mrs. William Inman of Atlanta. who is
deemed quite beauty. and Mrs. Frederic
Nelson were the guests of Mrs. Bache.
Mrs. Inman was in white lace over some
delicate pastel shade. the robe being elab-
orately trimmed with wide bands OF gold
| embroidery on net In her dark hair piled
| high single diamond star shone at the
! front The robe was cut quite low. the
| decolletage being edged by three or four
| inch band OF the golden embroidery. This
| embroidery also extended down each side
| OF the corsage. and from these side bands
| two others started. one from each side near
| the waist line. and ran up to the center OF
| the corsage, where an ornament like four
| leaf clover was done in gold and rhine
stones. Bands went over the tops of the
| short puffed sleeves and also extended down
! the skirt of the gown, dividing 1t Into panels
| at the front and sides.
| Miss Elizabeth Morton, guest of the j.
| L. Breeses, was in all black. largely tulle.
! cut straight across the top and having for
| sleeves merely inch-wide bands of black
velvet. One of these went over each Shout
der and held the corsage up: there was
also one around each arm below the arm
curve. and another midway between the
two. Her red gold hair was piled high on
her head. She wore neither flowers nor
jewels.
At her wedding Miss Cornelia Helen Mer-
rill, who married John vosburgh Irwin.
had her wedding gown entirely of point
de Bruges over white satin and wore an
especially voluminous tulle veil, with deep
full veil in the front to below the waist
line Her attendants, the Misses Martha
Prentice Strong. Kathleen Buckley. Juliana
Deyo, Edith Merrill, Mary Bradley and
Edith Clark, We're all in chrysanthemum
gowns of crepe de chine and lace; one was
in white five were in different shades of
yellow, and Mrs. Edwin jerks, matron of
honor, was in lavender.
The frocks had yokes and sleeves and lit
tie boleros of lace, and at the back of each
gown was a plait, giving a princess effect
The effect of double skirts was also OBJ
tanned through the use of tueks and bands
of white lace below the knees. The hats
were white beaver, trimmed with chrysan-
themums, the color of the gown, and os-
trich plumes were placed under the brims.
The hats were nearly fiat and had indented
brims. Each girl carried chrysanthemums
to match her frock. Mrs. jerks wore q
lavender beaver hat, with flowers and
plumes of the same shade, as were her
flowers, and her frock was really much the
prettfest of the lot, as yellows unless OF
deep shades do not show on to advantage
In the dim light of church.
The gowns worn by the attendants of Miss
Dorothy Manson. on her marriage several
days age to Kiliaen Van Rensselaer,, jr..
were as handsome as they were distinctly
novel in material and cut. The empire
princess robe and panne velvet as mate
rial have not hitherto been used for the
costumes of young girl bridesmaids The
gowns, as was that of the bride, were really
superb, and the rich colors of green of the
leaves and red of the flowers Of the huge
sheaves OF American Beauty roses carried
by the attendants added greatly to the
picturesque effect of the champagne velvet
gowns.
The bride wore rich silvery white satin,
the trained skirt was plain, the train long
and oval. and laid at the top in folds. The
bodice was cut in a deep square. the open
part being filed in with white chiffon, over
which was draped a deep f1ounce OF flmy
point applique, forming square cascade.
Revers Of white satin exquisitely embroid-
cred extended over the shoulders down the
front. outlining the open square, and also
projected out over the shoulders bit. The
sleeves were formed of moderately high,
wide puffs, that just above the elbow were
shirred several times to form scant small
puff and at the elbows were turned back
fiaring satin cuffs four. inches deep. stiffened
to stand out from the arms, and enbroider-
ed to match the revers of the bodice. Her
long full veil OF Brussels net was edged
with point applique and was arranged on
her auburn couture with crown of orange
