has been used many times before for
wedding gowns of Miss Wilson's an
Cestors.

court train of the full width of the
satin. The foundation skirt will have
the most fashionable lines-close at
the feet and slightly crinkled at the
hips. The skirt is slashed at the side
seams in the back so that the bride
may walk easily and gracefully, but
the parting is entirely hidden by the
folds of the train.
The veil will be of tulle, and orange
blossoms will be used to fasten its
soft folds. The flowers will come
from Columbia, S. c., the old home
of the Wilson family.
The bridesmaids will wear white

of orchids and lilies of the valley, tied
with flowing ribbons and softly tinted
silk.
