drawing room made entirely of green,
and from the arbor in one solid color
the wedding bell of green was sus-
pended, with its lining of delicate lilies
of the valley. The lilies We're used
throughout the room in clusters, and
were continued in the reception room.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father O'Malley. The pretty bride wore
a gown of white satin, made with a
square court train and embellished with
pearls. The corsage was elaborately
embroidered in seed pearls, and the
long skirt had an adornment of the
same. By the way, she wore a triple
string of pearls that was the gift of
the bridegroom, exceedingly attractive
and her only ornament The bridal
costume was finished with a veil
and coronet of real orange blossoms
and she carried shower Bouquet of
orchids and lilies of the valley. The
maid of honor was Miss Lupeta Borel,
who wore a gown of white chiffon,
spangled in silver, with an embroidered
tunic effect, and carried bridesmaid
roses. Louis Bovet, brother in law of
the bridegroom, acted as best man.
The gowns were very pretty, and, al
though only relatives were hidden to
the ceremony, the frocks were notice
ably out of the ordinary. The mother
of the bride, Mrs. Mcmahon, was gowned
in terra Gotta chiffon over cloth of gold.
Mrs. Antoine Borel Sr, was gowned in
white moire with an overdreSs of Chan
tilly lace. Mrs. Aylett Cotton, a sister

Hildebrand, who came here from WASH
ington for the wedding and wore a
gown of mauve chiffon over white
satin.
There was wedding breakfast for
the assembled relatives and an hour or
two of felicitation and the young couple
left for their honeymoon trip. They
are going to Europe for two years,
where they will travel leisurely and
visit interesting places abroad. The
bride is a very young girl and had just
been graduated from Notre Dame con
vent when her engagement to Antoine
Borel began to be the subject of rumor.
The announcement was made shortly
afterward, and then, after several
months of waiting. came the wedding
Mrs. Mcmahon will go to Washington
with her sister, Mrs. Hildebrand, who
came here for the wedding. She is to
remain while Mr.. and Mrs. Borel are
touring Europe.
Every society woman will not wear
the Circassian coiffure or the mop
style. as it is called in this country,
but they do adopt the broad, f1attened
expanse above the exact hair line. !
This allows the, wearing of the fash
ionable couture ornament which is in
itself flat, and is worn close to the
neck and ears.
So insistent is the demand for a fiat
effect of the head that women have
had Jewels reset into bandeau or a
swallow with outstretched wings The
latter is very fashionable ornament,
indeed, and as 1t is permissible to
wear false gems of all kinds such a
swallow in brilliants makes an ac-
ceptable gift.
The shape of jewelry changes so
rapidly these days that no one seems
to mind investing in initiation pieces
to tide them over the caprice of the
moment. The swallow is admirable
now. 1t may not be rega rded with fa--
vor six months from now. These are
the reasons advanced for wearing
cheap stones.
The bandeau made an excellent holi- |
day gift, as there are few women who
can not wear it in their hair regard
less of their style of coiffure. 1t may
reach around the head or only go i
across the front. The brilliants are
set in an openwork design of leaves
framed in on each side with a tiny
silver band. BY the way, silver and
platinum are far in advance of gold
for settings.
This bandeau is worn straight across
the brow by extremists and Others
wear it higher UP against the cap of |
hair formed above the double coil or |
coronet braid.
Another fashionable ornament is a
wide band of velvet ribbon in an in
tense color not pastel shade. This
