PARIS, France. Nov. lat one Of
the smartest weddings of our season
the six bridesmaids were Eowned alike
and their costumes were of unusually
elegant simplicity. Their dresses were
made of white tulle point d spirit"
quite devoid OF all preparation and
therefore very simple. At the foot of
the skirt three high founces were fully
gathered and shaped on to the skirt
with little double frilled headings. The
bodice "a la vierge" Of gathered tulle
was cut low over yoke of closely ap-
piled rows of narrow valenciennes. The
belt Of white liberty satin was draped
round. Two ribbons attached to the
belt formed braces over the bodice.
The same ribbon fell in long ends
down the front of the skirt and held
i'm their. place little garlands of white
roses called bridal bouquet. The
sleeves were balloons Of tulle with the
same ribbons and garlands arranged
over them.
These pretty frocks were accom-
panied by large tulle hats of the same
light tone. A spray of white flowers
was arranged on the left. The shoes
and stockings matched. If I have call
