 As fur coats, or cIoaks with furs, were to be generally worn, a prob lem with miliners was to create headwear that would harmonize not only with brilliant dress, but with a wrap of sable or moleskin.

London, Feb. 2S-(The Associated
 Press About 1000 women and girls
 were among the elect made happy by
 receipt of invitations to Princess
 Mary's wedding to Viscount IAascelles .at Westminster Abbey, today. With
 them the all-important questions were
 What shall I wear?" and What will the bridal party wear?"
 Within certain Hints, the State Chamberlain, who disignates the form of apparel for state occasions, settled | the matter He prescribes morning dress with hats, also orders and dec OratiOns-" Dressmakers carried the thing a bit further by announcing that it would be a ''brocade" wedding, that
 material being favored by several of
 those socially prominent women whose
 selections usually govern.
 The State Chamberlain's ukase rnled out the wearing of veils, pluInes and trains. In the interests of econ
 omy, this had been the rule at the
 Court of St. James since early in the
 war. The result was some diminu-
 ton of brilliancy, but the sacrifice
 feminine part of the wedding congre-
 gation as Westminster Abbey has long
 been termed "a vast collection of
 draughts.''
 The choice of morning dress was
 made ''in view of probable cold
 weather and the continued prevalence
 of the influenza epidemic" It is re- called that many women who at
  tricia at the Abbey three years ago, when more elaborate and less pro- tective court dress was worn, were almost blue with cold. before the two hours ceremony ended.
 Morning dress. of course. neces- | sitates the wearing of cloaks and furs. Officers of the Army, Navy and Air Force wore full dress unf- 1 form, with orders and decorations. l For civilians. court dress was pre- l scribed. Swords were a part of this ! attire Soldiers without dress uni form were permitted to use service kir.
 Brocade has been increasing in popularity for some time. Now it is 1 all the rage and the wedding party l afforded a gorgeous display of his I material in all it's rich variety. There were brocades of misty blue. of dull gold and shimmering silver The 1 pattern, in most cases, was Eliza 1 bethan and the effect one of rare 1 splendor.

INDIAN TROOPS IN
JUILUNDUR REGION
BORDER ON MUTINY

Allahabad, India. = OUTBREAKS
of characterization and disobedlence
bordering on mutiny are reported
from army headquarters IN the Jul
lundur region, where members OF
the 14th Sikhs and the 18th Pun
iabis regiments are said to be al
most unmanageable as result OF
agitation by radical political lead
ers.
The trouble began when two
men of the 14th Sikhs appeared be-
fore their commanding officer
wearing black pugrees, or turoans'
although in uniform. When they
were reprimanded for this fnsubor-
dination, six of their comrades
promptly committed the same Of
tense and 20 others deserted. Prison
sentences were decreed for all the
Offenders. Indian officers of the
regiment attribute the outburst to
the release of certain Sikh prison
ers from civil custody.
In the 18th Puntabis at the same
station a Sikh sepoy insisted on
wearing a longer kirpan (weapon)
than the regulations allow.
When arrested he went on hun
qer strike. and the whole of his
company followed suit in SYM
pathy. He was sentenced to i'm
prisonment and the trouble sub
sliced for a time. but later five men
appeared on parade in uniform
with black pugrees, which they re-
fused to remove. This defiance also
was punished by prison sentences
!. Both regiments have excellent
war records, and were due TO leave
soon for service overseas. 1t was
while the men were taking theii
short leave before departure thai
the agitators are said to have
made special efforts to influence
them.
It has been several years since
