witness the event from making early
preparations for gowns suitable to a
function of this character. One
troublesome question has been the
hour of the ceremony, o'clock, mid
way between the usual requirements
OF an afternoon or an evening gown,
and also raising the question of
whether hat was suitable to be worn
