The bridesmaids, the Misses Elizabeth
Pearsall, Ethel Lockwood. Ilona Migli-
eta Francis Jenkins, Katherine Daniel and
Thorese Mathews We're In elaborate robes
of white batlste, rich in embroidery over
pink taffeta.
They were princess robes, fitted to the
figure by tucks above. below and at the
waist line, and just below the bust line in
the center front of each was a short, full,
double bow of soft pink silk ribbon. From
this bow soft, crushed streamers were car

armholes and the waist line, were carried
around to the back, were raised slightly to
the exact center and there tied in bows,
with streamers falling nearly to the hens
and edges of the skirts
The stocks were of open-work embroidery
on batiSte. The sleeves of embroidered

ruffies of the embroidery,
All through the skirts below the tucks
were embroidered oval medaliions with
open-work embroidery. There were fiounces

The bodices had embroidered rufies
across the front, but these were draped
into the figure. The attendants carried
armfuls of pink bridesmaids roses.
Mrs. Gilbert H. Johnson, the brides

bow sleeves, and white girdle Two fiat
sections, shaped like ruffies, only fat, were
laid around the bottom of fluffy skirt.

The spring weddings bring out the newest
hats, wraps and gowns In endless numbers
for who Is there who does not wear her
newest and SmarteSt afternoon gown to the
wedding of one of her relatives or friends
and still less would one attend the wedding
In the family of ones dearest enemy with
out donning the most enyy-crea ting toilet
at ones command.
The weddings of the next three weeks will
be prolific with hints to those in pursuit
OF sartorlal suggestions, and the prospec-
n Vu1VYn ,r.F
TO attend all the smart functions of a
matrimonial nature, in order to better de-
eide what to have and also what to avoid
So far-but the next two weeks NAV
show a different trend-the hats seen at
the smart weddings have been small or of
medium size only and without the exag-
gerated Alpine slope at the back and gable
ROOF tilt in the front. They have, indeed
been becoming, and, in comparison with
past creations, have been sensible if not
artistic. Most of them have been turned
up in the back and one or both sides and
have had pointed fronts. but all in mod
flied way, quite different from the freak
ish effects Of the past year. or course
when a woman's hair is always perfectly
coiffed, with no straying locks, and her
costume is all that it should be, one of
the exaggerated chapeaus does not look
50 Ill, but even then other styles set her
off to greater advantage.
The little round sailor so universally
seen in the department stores on bargain
counters and on the heads of all those who
quick to seize anything new provided
1t be cheap is not seen at all in the modish
world. No one has been seen at wedding
reception at the many private theatrical
entertainments gotten up and acted by the
fashionables at the Berkeley Lyceum the
Waldorf-Astoria, or at the private concerts
and other events so fashionable in New
York during Lent.
There are, however, large sailor hats
that isysof sailor shape-beautifully trimmed
and having much style, that are decidedly
smart. The hat to be avoided by the
woman who wishes to be well dressed
but who does not know what the leaders
of fashion are wearing, but who can In a
modest way COPY their tasteful hats Is
