folds of the short train.
The train was gathered at the top and
formed number of full folds crushed to-

in a tapering sweep and falling in rich
folds to the floor.
The attendants of Miss Lyman were In
pale blue chiffon, with white lace guimpes
and sleeves, topped by large pale blue pic
ture hats These girls were Miss Nina
Floyd Delafield, Miss Helen Harbeck. Miss
Mary De Forest Clark, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Crawford Clark. and Miss
Marion Clark. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Crawford Clark. The maid of honor
was the brides younger sister, Miss Marion
Lyman. The latter's gown exactly
like those of the bridesmaids, but her hat
was a much smaller one of castor brown
tulle. trimmed with castor-colored plumes,
tipped with pale blue, and had castor-color-
ed tule under the brim at the back.
The attendants frocks hau hint OF the
empire in their short-waisted backs, a
princess effect in the front and back where
the plaits ran from the bust line to the
knees, and a pinafore effect about the neck
In the square guimpeS and elbow sleeves
of white lace. They were very pretty.
The chiffon skirts of the robes were trim

liberty satin. That at the bottom was
really a hem four inches wide. There was
tuck set on a little below the knees Of
the satin; this was three inches wide, and
above this came a two-inch tuck, set on a
little above the knees.
The robe was laid in half-inch tucks or
plaits from the bust line nearly to the
knees over pale blue silk or satin. These
plaits tucks outlined the figure, but
not with absolute tightness, although they
fitted in pretty well at the waist line. In
the center back the plaits were not In close

at the bottom. This tab Is not only out
lined. but is separated at the bottom from
the rest of the jacket by slashes. The
light fur adjacent the dark forms the Dor
der. There are two dark stripes each side
OF this center back section. These curve
very gently toward the center from the
shoulder seams to the center of the back
that is, midway from top to bottom-and
then curve as gently in toward the under
arm seams. The cutting away Of the light
colored sections Of the fur gives these
curved lines. At the bottom a band Of
the dark stripe goes around the edge, curv-
ing down from the tab section in the center
back.
In the front the stripes are straight, but
the bottom band goes all the way around.
The little coat Is breasted, closing
with two immense metal cabochons The
sleeves are large and suggestive of the
oId-time melon shape. and the first section
ends just below the elbows. a dark stripe

extension sleeves made of the two Joined
scalloped sections of brown velvet embroid-

lops in each cuff, the tapering in being at
the sleeve seams. and below each there is
a curved band made Of a dark stripe of
the fur. These cuffs end two-thirds of the
way from the elbows to the wrists. Shaped
bands of brown velvet start in tapering
points at the back. each side of the center
panel above the slashings. cabochon is
set on at the back where the sharp point
begins. broken leaf design is embroid-

heads with as many tails set on the lower
edge, the tails falling below the muff.
There is also a narrow neckpiece Of the
mink with single tail at each end.

NEW YORK, October 20. 1906.
- CTOBER and November are rich
in weddings. and not only do
these bring out handsome bridal
gowns, but the guests at the
weddings, especially those of the
families most interested. don their newest
smart gowns for these occasions. so that
a fashionable wedding teens with hints
for the wise woman in pursuit of new
ideas
Satin is, par excellence. the fabric chosen
by the fall brides 1t is a material espe
cially suited to cool weather, for, while
velvet is sometimes chosen for the winter
wedding II is seldom seen In the autumn.
Filmy chiffon and all-lace gowns are
usually worn In the late spring and the
summer only. Yet a satin gown may be
yelled with chiffon or lace and be light
and fluffy well rich and heavy.
Miss Evelyn Blight. Mrs. Mahlon
Sands. had her satin gown yelled with
chiffon eXquisitely wrought in silver. Her
wedding however, was in Newport. In
New York thus far heavy satin, but OF
soft, supple quality. has been most In evil
dence. When the plable weaves are
chosen. satin may be manipulated to look
as youthful or as dignified as wishes,
and most girls, especially the younger they
are. prefer the conventional old-time satin
and the traditional tulle veil.
~
Miss Katharine Lyman. who on Tuesday
became Mrs. John Nelson Steele, jr.. in
the Church of the Ascension, wore a white
satin gown and yoluminous tule veil
that extended out over the robe to the
end of the train. 1t was a sngle-fold veil,
and was caught to her low blonde couture
by half wreath or low coronet OF orange
blossoms.
The satin gown had a stock and round
yoke like q cape of point lace; this came
below the fullest part of the bust and as
far down the back, extending out over the
sleeves in cape fashion. The sleeves. by
the way were puffs. and ended Just be-
low the elbows In lace ruffies. Above this
lace ruffie was a narrow double puff of the
lace having a narrow ribbon run through
Il iust above the elbows and tied at the
back: this formed the top pun. which ex-
tended up the sleeve pun some two or
three inches similar pun covered the
elbows, and the lace was again gathered,
and from this fell four-inch ruffie.
The body of the gown seemed to be per-
fectly plain from the bust down. 1t closed
in the back under series of three or Tour
fat-winged satin bows, and from these
bows fiat folds Of satin ran down toward
the under-arm seams. The lowest OF the
bows was set on apparently couple OF
inches n''ove the waist line proper, and

sweep at the left, but narrowing down at
the right where the brims were flattened.
At this left side were two or three wide,
pale blue ostrich tips tipped with castor
or brown. These tips leaned out over the
brims. The brims were trimmed with plain
| bias folds of blue satin and there were
folds of blue about the crowns. The cache
peignes were of pale blue tulle Each
girl carried an immense cluster bouquet of
pink roses.
Mrs. Hart Lyman, the brides graceful
mother, wore robe of Orchid-colored panne
velvet The slightly trailing skirt had
narrow hem, and the width of the hem
above there was tuck of the same width.
Otherwise the skirt was plain.
The bodice top of the gown had a stock
and yoke Of white lace, and most of the
bodice, which seemed sort Of princess ex-
tension of the skirt, was of mauve chiffon
decorated with mauve spangles. This chif-
fon was arranged In band effects, the bands
being edged with mauve spangleS. These
bands formed bolero and bretelle arrange
ment that tapered in at the waist line. while
another spangled chiffon band was draped
around the waist and ended in the front in
tab extensions.
The sleeves were full creations of mauve
chiffon, the chiffon ending just below the
elbows, finished with deep extensions of
spangled chiffon bands and white lace
The toQue topping this gown was an oval
shape, apparently of mauve felt. Folds of
darker mauve velvet were twisted about
the soft crown and formed loose chou at
the left side, near the front, the chou ex-
tending down over the brim. From this
chou two full, short ostrich plumes extend
ed out over the back of the toque and down
over the coiffure. The plume at the left
was a pale mauve. and that at the right
half covering the other and also covering
the entire center Of the chapeau, was a rich
heliotrope.
