Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-11-12

Near the neck an inch-wide puff of pale
green chiffon was introduced.
The sleeves were quite novel, being mod
eled on the old-time flowing sleeve of the
sixties and also having the old-time under
sleeve of lace. These sleeves were long,
they widened steadily from the shoulders,
and were of plain satin. Some seven or
eight inches below the elbows the lower
edge of the sleeve at the outside was laid
carelessly back and showed the under
sleeves of the same model ending in two
narrow frills of dotted lace with an edge
of small scallops.
The full skirts were gathered tightly
around the tops and were bouffant at the
bottom, where they touched. The lower
part, to above the knees of each skirt was
covered with three gathered chiffon cloth
founces of equal width, each of the three
being headed by a fold of satin about an
inch and quarter wide. slip-stitched down
and each ending In an inch-and-a-half-w wide
edge of lace like that forming the finish to
the undersleeves.
Each attendant carried a sheaf of huge
white chrysanthemums, their long stems
tied with wide pale green satin ribbons.
The brides mother, Mrs. John L. Hail.
wore a black velvet robe in princess eff
feet, with point lace adornments and small
black toque with barb of point lace at the
left side
The skirt of the robe trailed a little,
was closely and perfectly plain. The top
bodice was cut out to leave a narrow
but deep from the neck at the back to
the waist line at the front, where it tapered
u sharp point, and this was filled in by
stock and waistcoat of exquisite point
lace over white chiffon. Each side of this
vest came. also from the back, a long
tapering piece of point lace laid over black
velvet, and this extended down like reyers
and tapered in toward the center. The coat
sleeves were wide and ended lust below the
elbows in wider, slightly faring cuffs of vel
vet turned back over the sleeves. Two
large silver buttons were placed at the out
side of each cuff, and narrow frill ruffles
of point lace fell over the long gloves.
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt, who before
her marriage was Miss Eleanor Roosevelt,
niece of the President, wore a pale blue
cloth coat and skirt, the latter very long,
the former lying on the floor all the way
around II, Her hat was plumed affair to
match.
The skirt was very close at the top and
the long tight-fitting coat skirt came to
within q few inches of its lower edge con-
cealing most of 1t, but when Mrs. Roose-
Welt gathered up her skirts to walk to a
carriage the long coat, open in the center
back to the waist line, fell back and dis
closed the skirt, showing that IL was shir-
knees, and again about the knee line these
shirrings keeping the folds of the skirt In
place. Otherwise 1t was plain.
The extremely long coat had five seams
in its tight back from the waist line up,
and these extended perhaps two inches be-
low the waist line. The plain coat skirts
were Joined 70 the under armpieces across
the hips by straight seams. The coat
closed with large silver buttons a bit to
one side of the center. and the garment
had a shawl collar and revers of the cloth
embroidered with a fine line of silver braid
showing at the edges. The sleeves OF
bareIy more than elbow length were coat
shaped and the cuffs were braided in sill
yer.
Mrs Lawrence Waterbury, who was Miss
Maud Hall, wore a small hat of light blue
with bright. light blue ostrich tips and a
crisp, box-plaited tulle ruehe of brilliant
blue, this had long streamers of inch-wide
