othy Hurry. wore especially pretty and eff
fect.ve gowns of green crepe. composed of
sunray plated ROAD skirts and bodces to
match. with f1-.4s draped to produce coat
effect at The .i-Ck X. and with elbow sleeves;
these sleeves. also plated. were edged with
crepe frilis, bordered with inch-wide edg-
ings of white lace. The yokes and stocks
were of lace, the yokes being cut straight
across the top. In the back of the bodices
the accordion plating showed as VS. be-
tween the fichu draperies. but in the front
the plating showed at the sides as
well as in the center. The fichus were
very fuil apparently plated. and then Dor
dered with wide plated frils edged with
inch-wide white lace. They began in the
center front, where they were folded over.
and from that point separa ted and slante6
up over the shoulders the frills forming
sleeve caps, and then sianted down the
back to meet in the center at the waist
line, the ends forming fluffy position coat
skirts perhaps twelve inches deep. All car
ried bouquets of white daisies.
Mrs Francis NJ. Scott, mother of the
bride, was in pale mauye chiffon over pale
blue silk. topped by toque to match of
blue and mauve, trimmed with a quantity
of pale mauve and pale blue ostrich tips at
the left side. The bodice had a white lace
yoke, and on it rested one of the new fes-
toon necklaces in large. and small anne
thystS. The skirt had the effect of accor-
dion plating of the mauve chiffon over
the blue. and about the bottom of the skirt
were two narrow plated fiounces. AT the
top, or, rather. some distance below the top
of the skirt, in the stepladder effect on
successive plaits were odd little shirrings
or applques Of ruchings holding the plats
in place. The bodice showed this same
ruched effect in places, as did the elbow
sleeves with frills. 1t one of the most
artistic, simple and effective costumes seen
this spring
The brides grandmother Mrs S. B. Park
man Higgins a white-haired woman of

de chine gown with a yoke and bertha eff
feet in lace. the whole very simply made,
but with full folds in both body and skirt
and snowy-white headdress, quite fat and
with white scarf ties.
In the trousseau of one of the most re-
cent brides is a collection of hats, some
of which are quite simple, and all of
which described here are pretty. One is
large white leghorn, with a small almost
fiat, crown, and a wide brim. This hat is
designed to be set back from the face, and
to form a halo effect, the brim being
crushed in a bit irregularly a the left
against the crown. The bandeau is a mar
row one, covered with black tulle and two
fiat black wings. with the narrow sides
meeting, are placed against the brim at the
left front, the tips of the wings projecting
some two inches beyond the brim. A large
base of the wings and the back of the ha t.
and around the outside of the crown is a
strap of black velvet, with a fiat bow at
the right side. This is TO be worn with
short white linen costumes Another large
hat is a black crinoine, with a round crown
two and half inches high and a perfectly
straight wide brim. 1t has narrow ban
deau, and is set straight on the head the
brim projecting out well over the forehead.
In the back the brim is raised ever so lit
tie. and shows a deep boxplaited ruching
of black tulle across the back and sides
of the bandeau. Full folds of white liberty
satin are drawn taut around the crown.
leaving only a narrow edge of the black
showing at the top, and at the right side
is a large, mound-shape but light jet ca
bocbon. from under which start three black
ostrich tips. one of which follows the brim
and curis down over its edge: the middle
one lies sideways on the top of the brim,
and the third rises rather high, and droops
over toward the left back. This is designed
to accompany black and white organdy,
having large flowers.
Another hat Is knocked up at the back
and sides and is lavender straw. 1t Is
trimmed with punches of lightweight pur-
pie grapes and mauve liberty gauZe rib
bons where it is turned up: around the
crown is a box plating of tule, the same
color as the hat. and cluster of grapes
at the right side. This is to top a lavender
