many handsome gowns and toilettes of

While 1t has been known for some
time that the arrangements for the
wedding were to be simple, n in con-
trast with some of the brilliant func-
tons of the past, yet this has not af-
fected the desire Of the limited few
who had reason to believe they would
witness the event from making early
preparations for gowns suitable to a
function of this character. One trou-
blesome question has been the hour of
the ceremony, 6 o'Clock,-midway be-
tween the usual requirements of an af-
ternoon or an evening gown, n also
raising the question of whether a hat
was suitable to be worn at a 6 o'clock
wedding function.

ed by the two score or more matrons
and maids who are to witness the mar
rage. NnqrlV all of Thorn will urn1,
gowns not seen here before this sea-
son, and taffetas in light shades, with
cream and white laces, have been the
more generally chosen materials.

and lace, made in the prevailing ruffled
style, the skirt partly draped, with
broad embroidered 1ounces Of net, and

kimono blouse effect.

all over it. The draped skirt shows a
petticoat in front of embroidered old
rose chiffon. The chiffon is also in
serted in the softly draped waist but a
line Of nearly white and very fine lace,

Of agriculture, will wear white-a very

materials form the bodice, with ivory

ing at the neck.
Mrs. Daniels, wife of the secretary
of the navy, has chosen a becoming
dress of pansy colored charmeuse with
over draperies Of blue chiffon, which is
