When the wedding L. n Quiet One.

When a wedding is a quiet one in
the true sense of the word, it takes
place in the morning. The bride wears
morning dress, the bridegroom a travel
ing suit, the best man a similar one.
The one or the two bridesmaids, as the
case may be, are also attired in a nom
bridal fashion-in ordinary costumes
The few relatives present either take
leave of the bride and bridegroom at
the church. or they return to the house
of the brides mother for luncheon, and
remain to witness the bridal departure,
but this takes place often from the
church, and there is no pretense of a
gathering at the house Of the brides
mother.

MORE COLOR In
NEW DECORATIONS
Brighter Tints Are in Favor for the
Homes as Well as for Wearing
Apparel.

Just now We seem 10 be going through
a process, the world over, Of opening
our eyes to the beauty of nature. We
are calling this process by elaborate
names, Arabian Nights Dreams Flu
turist Painting "orientalism, "Vien-
nese Influence. Every week or so, We
get a fresh light on the question and a
fresh color fad is presented to US.
Now, all that is really happening is
that We are opening our eyes TO vision
of color. 1t has been the fashion to
ignore it for years past For this fash
ion France was responsible, and the fash
ion came about in a very practical way.
France had always been a color-loving
nation. also nation of vigorous sun
light, and the combination meant that
the economical French women continued
to wear faded colors, If garments pleased
them and were useful long after all
freshness and beauty had departed. And
out of this wearing OF faded tones by
thrifty women developed demand for deli
cate colors and pastel tones which cir
cled the globe and which led people into
the belief that the wonderful, gorgeous,
inspiring eolors OF nature were out of
harmony with the taste OF cultivated
people.

The return OF color has come about
to answer some practical demand, as is
always the case. Throughout central
Europe thefe happened a few years ago
a violent reaction from art nouveau lines.
subjects and colors, and the desire grew
for something new. The result was
return in Hungary and Austria to the
old peasant patterns and colors. This
return was gladly welcomed and fostered
by the governments of these nations, as
it furnished work for the peasants and
opportunity fer the middlemen. And ma
terials. potteries, embroideries that for
years had been bringing but a few cents
a day to the laborer suddenly became
vogue.
No sooner was it established that the
brilliant Bulgarian colors and the mar
Vicious mixture Of tones employed by the
clearsiShted old Austrian peasants had
come TO interest the artists at least of
Europe than manufactures were estab
lished where these same dsigns were re-
produced in fabrics and in potteries.
The change reached the architects and
houses were designed appropriate for this
kind of color expression. Some of the
best known of the European artists began
to make patterns for dress fabrics, for
upholstery materials. for potteries and

Women Are Not to Blame

Women are responsible for silly SIM

every bit of nauseous mess that is hash
