Mrs. Paul Morton. who came with her
husband Secretary Morton, was in white
ws-n1ing costume of most unusual material
| for a coat costume of the utility type. 1t
had a three-Quarter length, three-quarter
| fitting coat and a skirt that cleared the
| floor fully four inches and had insertions
and 1ouncings of heavy white lace ma
| terial evidently figured or embroidered
| linen. The linen, or whatever 1t was, was
divided into strips some three or four lnches
| wide, each marked nearly its whole width
by spear-point designs an inch and q half
apart the strips being Joined by heavy
lace. The coat was bordered by the lace,
and the sleeves Of bit more than elbow
length, had cuffs and collar or IL. Inc
skirt apptS red to be formed of insertions
of the material and lace running around.
1t was finished by lace and linen hoance
some nine inches wide. and seemed to nave
another one two or three inches above IT,
The coat came to within sixteen inches or
so of the skirts edge. Her hat, of medium
size and white chip, was trimmed with
white ostrich plumes.
A handsome white linen gown worn by
young girl at this wedding was of heavy,
soft material with a skirt formed of many
panel-shaped cores that tapered in to the
waist line with the closeness of circular
skirt and formed a sheath. These panels,
of course, widened as they grew near the
bottom, and each one had an enormous
white flower nearly the whole width of the
t.
twelve inches across, and from each one a
spray of leaves, five in number embroid-
cred in outline, extended up each panel to
point above the knees At the bottom
there was a three-inch plain hem.
The bodice had stock and square guimpe
of Irish crochet. The bodice itself was
embroidered in irregular scallops where 1t
Tapped over on the guimpe. 1t was square
at the top and had six half-inch plaits,
over the tops of which the embroidery pass
ed. These tucks turned from the center
and gave spring over the bust; at the bot
tom the material was plated in under a
five-inch girde made of inch-wide bias @inen
folds with pearl buckles, one at the front,
the other at the back In the center front
of the corsage was flower matching those
on the panels, but only eight inches across,
and on each side of it was a spray OF the
leaves. The back was similarly done, only
there were tive flowers, enc on each side,
and the leaves extended up the center, COW
ering the overlapping sections that invitibly
closed the bodice.
The sleeves were a new design and ex-
tended nearly to the knuckles, the lower
edge forming a cup-like flare from tae
wrists out and having at each seam little
V-shaped design in Irish crochet inserted,
the sharp point turning upward These VS.
were three inches long and gave most of
the flare to the linen extension. The linen
was hemmed an inch deep, and a border
ruffie of E-alenciennes lace was set in under
the edge all around The top of the sleeves
was quite large and full, the general shape
of the sleeves being a leg-of-mutton from
the top to the elbow and coat sleeve from
the elbow to the wrists Each top had
large flower embroidered on 1t, and the
leaves trafled from it down over the elbow
and the outside and upper part of the
rather close coat sleeve section.
Topping this costume, which, by the way,
had a quite long skirt, was a white chip
hat turned up very high at the right side,
where punches of blue hydrangea blossoms
were massed, and bands of blue MORE rib
bon could be seen. This ribbon was also
fBa nd
the back in soft chous again the bandeau.
One of the prettiest organdy frocks yet
noted also blossomed out at this ceremony.
1t had white ground and clusters of palest
pink roses with the faintest possible foliage
in large leaves. 1t was worn over a soft
pale pink slip. 1t was princess robe and
the bodice top formed of strips of the
organdie just wide enough to show single
roses Joined by inch-wide Valenciennes in
