A fashionable evening wedding in
| one of the big churches in Leaven-
worth the other evening, reveals some
new curves in the pomp and circum-
stance that go with the ceremonial OF
a wartime marriage. Instead OF the
, usual formal arrangement of having
men ir dress suit for uSherS, a group
Of girls did the ushering, and wore
simple dresses of blue serge trimmed
with satin. No liberty satin and court
train and shimmery. slithery veil for
this bride. Instead, she wore a tall
ored costume of blue tricotine with
trimming of buttons and braid. Her
hat was a two-tone burgundy straw.
And this, if you please, was an
o'clock in the evening affair, before
500 guests, in u fashionable set that
knows what it is about. What hath
war wrought! And what will the
Ladies Home Journal say?
