The bridesmaids, who were Misses
Margaret Baxter, a sister of Mrs. Hart Nc
Kee, who was formerly Mrs Hugh Tevfs:
Miss Virginia fredell, Miss Dorothy Tay-
ior. Miss Mary Morris Blair and Miss Ma
rion Dennison, wore white batiste gowns
trimmed with narrow yellow lace, and
topped by yellow lace pony coats.
The frocks of Miss Hunters bridesmaids
embodied new ideas In bridal robes, and
the pony coats In lace on their slight fig
ures were quite fetching The coats were
yellow lace, loose, slashed at the bottom
at their tops, the same length all around,
swept the floor They were of white
batiste. with three half-inch tucks at the
bottom Between each two tucks was an
inch-wide ruffie OF yellow lace. Just above
the tucks and beginning below the knees
were two sets of half-inch insertions of
yellow lace an inch apart, each edged at
the top by half-inch ruffie OF yellow lace.
These insertions with attached rulings
outlined acknowledged sections twelve
inches across. the points just touching.
These diamonds extended around the
skirts.
Their hats of cream white were turned
up slightly at the back the crowns were
banded with odd. dull-red velvet. In the
front Of each hat cluster Of several
four, IL the writer remembers correctly
were fastened. two dropping toward the
front and one toward each side. These
were yellow tipped with white.
Each attendant carried a huge but grace
full bouquet of yellow and white daisies d.
vided into sections, the upper two-thirds
being of one colored daisy and the lower
and looser half falling in sprays of the
other. Loose daisies swung here and there
from narrow ribbon.

Miss HARRIET Coleman Delaheld, now
Mrs. Jarvis Pomeroy Carter, had one OF
the most beautiful white and green we'd
dings of recent years in the Church of the
Heavenly Rest. Instead of hats the at
tendants wore short white tulle wells and
pale green ostrich tips. The bridesmaids
frocks were exquisite. These girls were
Misses Grace Floyd Delafeld, cousin
Of the bride; Florence Bates, Justine Erv-
ing and Hopeton Atterbury. The maid of
honor, Miss Maize Livingston Delaield, the
brides sister, was In green chiffon, but
also wore the tule veil and ostricr tips.
The bridesmaids gowns were OF white
dotted net over pale green chiffon. The
stocks and yokes were of unlned thin
white lace almost like the net, and these
yokes or guimpes descended low In the
front in a curve point. Green bretelles
perhaps an inch and a salt wide, edged
with what looked like pale green satin
covered cord, crossed over the shoulders
near the sleeves, meeting and crossing be-
also in the back, and ending under the
moderately wide, straight around white
girdles made of white satin folds. The
sleeves were short puffs OF white net over
the green chiffon, with lace ruff1es to the
elbows and small green bows on each.
Among the many handsome gowns noted
at the recent weddings was one In tan chif-
fon wolfe. The round-length skirt was laid
in graduated box platts an inch and a half
wide at the top, the plaits being released
just above the knees.
Around the bottom of the skirt, two inches
from the extreme edge. was a two-inch
width of silk braid. IN fancy pattern and of
a much darker shade than wolfe. An inch
and half above this was half-inch braid
of the same shade in plain silk At sixteen
inch intervals this narrow braid turned up
ON the skirt and outlined design much like
fleur de lis some ten inches high The in
part of this fieur de lis was braided in
silk soutache braid in brown in g. coral pat
tern.
The little coat had a basque skirt begin
ming at the sides, over the hips, and extend
ing across the back. This was formed Of
inch-wide piaits. each piped with soutache
braid. The plaits were pressed fiat. The
whole extension was ten inches deep in the
center back by seven over the hips. A band
Of the half-inch fancy braid edged both
sides, silk soutache outlined the bottom.
The girdle was shaped one of tan broad
cloth an inch and q half broad. 1t Tapped
at one side, going through small gold
slide. The center front of the coat was
In tan velvet several shades darker than the
wolfe, lined with satin several shades lighter
than the gown material and covered with
filet lace In a rich yellow. These battle
ments were an inch and half wide where
they met by two and a half at their base;
they were set on under different style of
battlement of the wolfe sides of the coat
These voile battlements were an inch deep,
two and a half long, and each had three
tiny dull-goid buttons set on 1t half way be-
tween the base and the edge. These but
tons were also fastened through to the vel
vet battlements. At the top the two ends
of velvet forming the battlements were cut
into two small tab ends that extended up on
the stock an inch or 30. The stock, or mil
itary collar, was yellow lace over silk, and
braid edged. II the battlements had been
laid fat they would have oyerlapped, but
they were so arranged that they fiared out
and bit away from each other. giving
glimpse now and then of yellow lace un-
derblouse or watstcoat.
The skirts OF these gowns were of the
green chiffon and the white net gathered
at the top. both materials hanging in full
folds to the floor. Both skirts were ruffied
at the lower edge with the material of which
