THE two very attractive afternoon
L frocks which present rival claims
to admiration In the picture above,
employ the two most favored silk fab
' rics, geOrgette and taffeta. and each
makes the nos of this advantageous
start. In spite Of the disparity In
these materials the two frocks have
several features I'm common both are
made with a tunic, both achieve the
widened hip lines which fashion en-
courages, and both show the bodice
extended over the waistline at the
front, forming a straight-line, glrdle-
less effect. These are all important
style features, and each Of these
frocks is distinctive enough to answer
for somewhat more formal dress than
the average afternoon frock is equal
to.
Taking note Of the small items that
go to make up the success Of the
georgette frOck, 1t appears that the
straight underskirt has no hem, but Is
finished with a picot edge. Its tunic
is long and full, draped and shortened
at the sides and elubellished with
handsome embroidery In silk at the
front and back. There are three-quar-

ter-length sleeves having \ narrow
band Of embroidery at the bottom,
and, lest we overlook the original
management OF the bodice at the
front, embroidery emphasizes II and
calls attention to the narrow collar.
Four small, ~silk-covered balls fall
from the ends Of the unnecessary but
pretty pretense I'm collars.
In the taffeta frock the tunic be-
comes an apron drapery at the
front and back. edged with a flounce
Of the silk that joins the draperies
and wldens the hips Mt the same time.
This iounce has three narrow cord
ings along Its edge and Is set on to
the drapery with q cord, insuring 1t
considerable flare. This frOck has an
u%nderbOdice cut with short kimOno
sleeves and these sleeves are corded
near the edge. Below the cords mar
row tabs made Of folds Of taffeta
carry a narrow ribbon run through
them as a finish. The round neck Is
finished in similar fashion. Sleeves
as short as these are infrequent In
American frocks. but there Is plenty
Of authority for them In French Inn
pOrtations.

The Etiquette of Weddings

0F ALL things that must be &C
" complished according to set GUS
toms q wedding requires the closest
following Of accepted rules. In order
that the celebration Of the ceremony
and all the Incidental events may
move smoothly and successfully, mi
mute attention must be given to all the
details OF preparation for the OCCASION
from the assembling Of the wedding
party to the departure of the bridal
pair Oh their honeymoon. Leaving
out the matter of the trOusseau-which
Is q separate affair-there are many
other things that must be considered
and adjusted.
To begin at the beginning-there
are the invitations. At least three
weeks and even a month before the
day Of the ceremony. these are to be
sent out to lists Of names which in
clude those furnished by the groom

Immediately after the wedding to
friends who have not been invited to
attend the ceremony. No near rela-
tive or close friends are to be over
looked, even though they live too Tar
away to come conveniently. The we'd
ding invitations and announcements
are to be engraved on heavy white
paper. In script or shaded Roman

and his associates September wheat
descended with invincible force. With
every titanic swing of the bears ire

the bulls rocked and swayed beneath
their feet-and the dollars piled I'D
for Daniel Fitzhugh. Yet he knew he
was nothing In that mighty conflict.
He was unseen, unfelt, unknown-the

Down, down went the price OF
wheat, with a dizzying velocity that
made the pit totter. II touched SO,

then, In one gigantic crash, as the
bears put forth their last, supreme
effort, the bottom dropped from the
market and September wheat went to
55 cents.
II was OF this day that Fitzhugh
severed his connection with Quigg Il

bargain made I'm a hOt-headed

"star" with alluring promises. But
Fitzhugh was obdurate. He held the

A few days before the wedding the
bridal procession is ~rehearsed, with
every member of the bridal party

played at the wedding. On the day of
the wedding motors are sent for the

and so into the arena where waged
the thunderous combat. The wheat
pit was In a parOxysm, ungovernable
and volcanic. The bulls, all but rout-

With these encouraging words he
