and Mrs. Albert Tevis Kelley of
Madison avenue to An1edee Vale Reyburn
OF 81. Louis. There was matron OF honor,
Mrs. Evermont Hope Norton.
No two of the costumes were exactly
alike. there being a slight difference OF de-
tail between the hats and also in the gowns
These hats were pink Neapolitan trimmed
with pink ostrich plumes and roses, and
also with tulle of the same shade. The
plumes in one instance fell over the side.
in another over the front, with their bases
at the back of the hat In one case sin
gle pink rose with leaves was fastened at
the back OF the hat. in another at the side,
and on another under the brim. All the
hats were large. with wide brims, rather
low crowns and short backs
The bridesmaids hats had long scarves
OF pink tune starting from back Of the
ears meeting at the left side at the back
of the shoulders where they We're caught,
and having long floating ends that came
20 the front. The long pink ostrich plumes
of the hats started from the rear, and on
one hat showed the large rose at the back
and the other at the side The matron and
maid of honor had their hat plumes going
over the sides. Their gowns were alike
to the skirts, but one had a round neck and
the other a high lace stock and rows of
narrow insertion in the yoke and sleeves.
The foundation slips We're tight-htling. The
pink chiffon forming the robes showed at
the back, but the front and sides were
covered with white lace. The backs of the
slips had no gathers, were smooth between
the shoulders, and ran down and out over
the short train. The sleeves were chiffon

raised slightly in the center, back, opened
out into wide sash ends that hOated almost

The bridesmaids frOcks were entirely of
pink chiffon, and the necks were cut out,
hardly round or square, but perhaps aptly
described squares with rounded corners.
Al a little below each rounded square was
a large button mold nearly two inches
across, covered with pink satin, evidently
hand-painted. These robes were exquisite
~ simple and girlish, free from all gathers
or insertions, and fell without fold or gain
er. but loosely from the figure, to the floor.
The only decorations were the buttons and
liberty satin sashes like those on the other
gowns. Folds of the silk outlined the open
necks. All the attendants carried large
bouquets of pink roses.

bride. was also in pink and very beauti-

inches. At the sides it also formed sort

OF similar lace on the front of the bodice
of the robe and at the top of the elbow
sleeves.
The bottom of the chiffon part OF the robe
was cut in very wide shallow scallops, the
centers being, however, rather pointed than
round. and below these points there fuffed

Mrs. Kelleys hat was small one or pink
tulle, trimmed with superb pink aigrette
plume and ostrich tips and at points there

Some very pretty hats were noted at the
Reyburn- Kelley wedding. which was cele-
