Miss Fshnestock had gone back
to the middle ages for her wedding
-own' which was a most picturesque
costume on ''moyen age" lines of
heavy silver brocade. with a bodice
made in long straight tUnic effect,
reaching below the hips with a full
skirt attached. 1t was topped with
sort OF bertha of pearl pas
S"mcnterie, placed well OF the
shoulders, and filled in with tuIIe.
There were long tight sleeves OF

bottom seemed to be built in about

full sleeves falling ir points. and

and hydrangea blue ribbon. They
carried lilacs. Miss Caperton, the
maid of honor. wore hydranEea

lilac. The little flower girl was

and forGet-me-nOts, which she tried
TO scatter in the pathway of the
bride. Mrs. Fahnestock. the bride's $
mother who is in mourning. wore a
stunning costume of black chiffon
