Informal Wedding Attire.

a Reader am giving you the correct
attire for informal morning and after
noon wear which 1 think would be suit
able for the bridegroom and his best man
when the bride wears a travelling cos
tune.
Coat-Cutaway.
WaistCOat-Same material as coat,
white or duck piqUe. or fancy silk pat
tern
Trousers-Same material as coat OF a
or a fancy worsted pattern
Shirt-Plain white, with attached
cuffs.
CoIIar-winE or poke.
Cravat-Ascot or four-in-hand.
Gloves-Tan cape, gray suede, or sim
liar shades in kid.
JeweIry-Gold. plain or 1eweled set
tings.
Hat-High silk, with felt band.
FoOtWear-The patent leather. black
cloth or kid tops. buttoned-
The new mandarin blue is very fash

think It a very trying color to almost
any woman beyond the first flush OF the
debutante's years. Brown in many OF
the wood shades is worn and there is

remember Is brown with difference

idea Of your size or height, 1r your

YOU very general directions sUpposing
you to be about the average in weight
and height. The princess effects are
very good style and becoming to almost
any woman with any pretensions to car
riage or build. Tussorah with yoke and
sleeve effects IN net would make a very
attractive frock for an early morning
wedding, a coat to be included in the
Uutfit for wear In the street or when
travelling.
Two-piece suits have returned 70 favor
and for a travelling OUTFIT nothing could
be more satisfactory since with but one

PEACHES ARE HERE
SEVERAL DAYS LATE
Cold Weather Delays Shipments
and Injuries the Crop In
Southern States.

The first shipments Of Florida peaches
are being received In the Washington
markets this week and are meeting a
good demand Ordinarily Southern
peaches have made their appearance In
local markets before this time. but the
cold weather this spring and the late
frosts have held the crop back consid-
rerablv and those that are now being re-
ceived are below grade.
Today peaches were quoted on the
wholesale market at from $1,75 to $3.50
per basket.
In the opinion Of the wholesale mer-
chants in this city the prospects are not
very bright for a good peach crop this
year. 1t Is feared that the continued
cold in the middle Atlantic states will
result in a small crop and higher prices.
A large consignment Of New York
creamery cheese was received today and
is being retailed at "A cents per pound.
