One woman in q white silk frock had

ed against the upturned back and left side
A full but fiat white boa of willow ostrich
plumes tipped with fine white silk chenille
was worn
The bodice of the gown was shirred
around the shoulders and again at the
waist line, the skirt being shirred around
the hips and falling thence to the floor in
full folds. Around the bottom of the skirt
was Seven-inch border of purple velvet.
Embroidered on both the silk of the skirt
and the velvet of the borders were shaded
light and dark purple flowers of small size,
and wheat ears, the latter in lighter hues,
We're embroidered on the velvet and droop-
ed from stems embroidered on the silk.
The flowers were all on the silk. This en-
broidery, a much spread" design, extended
over space perhaps six inches wide. Two
lines of narrow lildc-colored ribbon, irregu-
larry gathered and twisted, curved along
the skirt just above the velvet band Flow
ers matching those on the skirt showed on
the bodice just below the white boa. The
sleeves were Shirred, Scant puffs of silk
ending at the elbow. Below the elbows
there were three overlapping ruff1es of
light cream repousse lace an almost
tight foundation. Touches of purple show
ed here and there among the lace ruffles.
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, who was with
her mother, wore a simple white frock top
ped by one of the new little round and all
most fat hats in a light shade of rosy
mauve. This had band of velvet about
the crown, ending in a simple little bow at
one side. Flat clusters of purple vioets
were fastened to the brim to the left of the
front, and further along was another fiat
cluster of a different shade. The low ban
deau was covered with velvet ribbon and
another cluster of violets was fastened I'M
der the brim over the left ear.
Mrs William Douglas Sloane, at the same
wedding, was in pale ciel blue velvet of the
finely repped variety. The skirt was full
and the bodice. as well as a part of the

The bridal gown of Miss Mary NJ. Ogden,
who is now Mrs. Jesse P. Wilton Stuart.
was the conventional white satin, but it
had a long court train. and the bodice was
nearly covered with beautiful old rose
point, an heirloom in the brides family
The gown was a princess effect, but with
deep. pointed girdleless bodice. The sleeves
were butterfly sleeves of satin, open up the
back and finished with point lace and chit
fon. Her veil. another heirloom, was
very large shawl of rose point draped fatty
across her fluffy. red-gold couture and held
In place by natural orange blossoms. At
her throat was fastened a large diamond
crown brooch, the gift of the bridegroom.
The brides sister Miss Josephine Ogden,
who has Titan red hair and large gray
eyes, was in lilac-colored crepe de chine
topped by point lace coat The crepe was
a very pale shade that went well with the
pink and-white complexion of the wearer
The top had a collar and yoke of point
lace. and the lower half of the bodice was
a surplice of lilac crepe de chine. Over
this was the point lace coat, having n wide
shirred girdle of the crepe that showed out
side of the coat at the back, but at the
s.des slipped through openings in the
lace and went under the coat at the front.
The fronts of thecoat hung rather loosely,
and the lace skirts were almost plain. The
elbow sleeves were each formed of six over
tapping ruffies of lace-not point-set on
net foundation, the last ruff1e dropping over
the long gloves. The skirt touched all
around traled trifle In the back and was
plain save for panel effects in the front, at
the sides and in the center back. These eff
fects were obtained by the overlapping of
one gored section over another. producing
a lengthwise tuck an inch wide from the
waist line down. At the bottom of the

rover until the ends met in a sharp point
at the end of the V. The sleeves were
short plated, with tucked founces of black
net falling in full puff effects over turned
up cuffs of white taffeta silk slightly stiff
fened. The cuffs were perhaps six inches
deep, almost close-fttng, and We're cut in
single scallop each side of the outer seam;
two large jet cabochons We're set on each of
these outer seams. Below each cuff there
was a two-inch double ruffle of black chif-
fon, the lower edges of these ruff1es ex
tending a mere trife over the elbows to
meet the long gloves. The turned back
cuffs were well above the elbows. The skirt
was laid in scant plaits around the hips and
was f1ounced at the bottom, the net tiounces
having deep hens; groups of finer tucks
appeared between these fiounces at the
skirt top. Topping this costume was
moderately large and very openwork black
hat, frame outlined with satin straw, and
having black silk net between. 1t had a
turned-up brim irregularly indented. Large

pattern in fine gold and silver white metal
lie thread. 1t was not conspicuous. and,
indeed, one did not notice the gold at all
until within a few feet of the wearer. Mrs.
Sloane's hat was a small one with a rather
high crown and much turned-back and
knocked-in brim of white crinolne trim
med with black ostrich tips secured here
and there in the indentations. a twist of
black velvet ribbon trimmed the crown.
Miss Angelica Gerry, also at this we'd
ding, looked remarkably we'll in smart
costume of pale blue, topped by a small
fiat round hat to match The costume was
completed by one of the chic capes the
Partisan modistes add to their handsome
cloth costumes. This cape, which was elab

center and to width of some twelve
inches, fitted smoothly around the shoulder
tops and the neck; but in the back and at
the point where a deep yoke-if there were
one-would end, the cape was draped up

MEATS AND FISH. ]

This is the season of the year when the
housewife should count upon veal, lamb,
chicken or fish for the heaviest dinner dish.
Mutton and beef have become strlngy. and
pork lies heavy on a digestion already tried
by rich winter cookery. Fish builds up
muscular and f1eshy tissues, but Is more
easily digested by the majority of persons
than meat On the other hand, if a fishy
taste as children are apt to express it. lin
gers in the mouth for many hours 1t proves
that fish is not easily digested by such
person and should be a less frequent factor
of the family dinner
If the fish is fresh the flesh will be firm
the scales will not be loose, but will have
vivid color and the eyes and gills will be
bright. Stale fish is positively poisonous.
In selecting veal avoid that which has
blush appearance and that is fiabby to the
touch This is called bob" veal and is too
young to be served as food. The flesh
should be very firm and of a deep pinkish
gray. The bones, when pressed with the
finger, should be hard.
Real spring lamb is sold only in halves
and quarters. If 1t is offered In smaller
quantities the young housekeeper may de-
pend upon 1t she is getting mutton. Inc
fore quarter is considered the more dell
cate cut
Very young chickens. more commonly
called brOlleTS, contain llllle
BroIed they are regarded as an entree
rather than a meat course. When they
reach the frying age they represent a more
substantial element in the dinner menu.
The FISH now at their best are shad, fresh
mackerel, bluefsh; Oregon salmon, foun-
ders, porgies, sheepshead and all the white
fish for which the great lakes are famous
Among shelfsh. Holsters, crabs. prawns
and shrimp are in season.
Shad is responsible for the introduction
of the plank as a household cooking utensil
