While it has been known for some
time that the arrangements for the

contrast with some Of the brilliant
functions of the past, yet this has not
affected the desire of the limited few

hour of the ceremony, o'clock,
midway between the usual require
ments of an afternoon or an evening
gown, and also raising the question
of whether hat was suitable to be
worn at a 6 o'clock wedding function.

solved by the two score or more mat
