In the class Of plain fabrics are two
specialties-one, called crepe stellar,
with a semi-lustNNs face broken by
almost invisible checks In the weave !;
the other, cote de cheval, a duh fabric
of the crepe de chine family, in which
the familiar warp stripe is made Of
tiny chevrons.
Color interest that has dveloped
so far in these plain and aovelty
fabrics centers around the browns,
from the light chocolate browns to
deeper tones. Morocco. the dull red.
The print collection makes up in
brilliancy of color for any dullness in
the popular plain cODrs. Some de-
signs have the color Ii aKurianee of the
tropics, and others theAess exotic rich
ness of oriental design. Some suggest
modern paintings. and one has batik
effect with cracked ground. In addi-
tion to the staple ground colors used,
a bright green appears frequently.
One cannot say that the precise,
small patterns Of the spring season
have been completely abandoned, for
there are some distinctive interpreta-
Hons Of this st.9le of print, but the
general effect is Of boldness and COL
orfulness. These big patterns, which
appear on pussy willow and pussy
willow satin. are considered suitable
for fur Coat Innings. Between the
small patterns and the large. daring
ones, is a group Of moderately sized
detached patterns in soft colorings.
Fruit and flower groups appear in
this type.

Brahana-Ordway.

A very enjoyable and artistic we'd
ding took place at the home of Ar
thur E. Ordway, Wednesday evening,
October 4th, when his daughter, Mil
dred Annie, was united in marriage
with Ralph Andrew Brahana. The
double ring service was used, Rev. c..
D. Pierce officiating. The wedding
procession consisted of two little ring
bearers, Ards Wilcox and Alice
Dwinell, who carried the rings in
half-opened rosebuds, and the bride
and groom, who came into the room
while Mendelssohn's wedding march
was played by Miss Helen Foster of
Newport.
The bride was very charming in a
beautiful dress of beaded canton
crepe wearing a becoming veil Of
silk net with bandeau of flowers. She
carried a shower bouquet of pale yell
low roses, ferns and lilies of the val
ley. The bride and groom stood un-
der an arch of evergreen trimmed
with bayberries. The rooms were al
so decorated with bayberries and
bright autumn leaves. After the GER
emory the bride cut and served a
marvellous wedding cake and each
guest was at liberty to carry sam
pie home. Miss Theda Corley had
charge of the guest book. Punch,
cake and ice cream were served by
the girls in the ]. G. Turnbull Co. Of
! flee, where Mrs. Brahana has been
| employed for several years. She will
continue her work there this winter.
| She is graduate of the Orleans high
school of the class of 1914, and of
Lasell seminary in 1916. Mr.. Bra
hama was formerly of Lowell but has
| been an efficient worker in the J. G.
| Turnbull Co. creamery for. the last
few years. Only the members of the
two families and a few friends were
present. There were many wedding
gifts consisting of linen, cut glass
pyrex, china, pictures, money and ar
electric percolator and toaster. The
| bride and groom left amid plentiful
shower of rice and confetti for two
weeks automobile trip to Boston and
| New York. Mr.. and Mrs. Brahana
will make their home with her ia
| Their on Union street. Both are well
known and very popular in the young
er set and we are fortunate to keep
them with us.

The most unusual weather ever
known hereabouts, according to old
timers, has been on deck for the last
few days. The mercury yesterday reg
istered 21 degrees, was about 25 this
morning. and was due to rise some
more before Friday. Last night there
was little sleet and scarcely no rain,
ana there was likely to be anything
today. Tomorrow will be fair, it is said
il Washington, and mild Christmas
may be in order.
IN spite OF the fickleness Of the
weather goddess, the holiday trade has
been good and was destined to be even
Better the last three days before
Christmas. One merchant said today
that his Christmas trade was much
larger than it was last year. at this
time, and he expected it to go above
the average by many dollars.
Those who are accustomed to visit
ing the stores-and that is about ev-
erybody il this sectlon-have remark
ed on the unusually good offerings by
The merchants. In some cases articles
ordered months ago, were not received,
but that was not the fault here. The

has been so generous and attractive
