 And Lastly the Handbag
 But with gown, headdress and cloak. milady must have a handbag in keeping with the rest of her toilette Bond street shops showed some of these of 18th century letter-case in spiration, plus a handle. Exquisite bags of flat gold heads worked in satin topazes encrusting the stud fasteners and others entirely of tiny flat beads in a vivid rose color, the snap-fasteners being mother-of pearl dyed to match, have been thrust for ward as the latest cry.
 Even in shoes the vogue of brocade was evidenced. Dainty bits of silver and galf tissue with graceful but un- Iexaggerated heels, and buckles en- hanced with wisps of fluffy materials embroidered with seed pearls, were especially designed for some of the women wedding attendants.
 The Honeymoon Plans
 It is understood that Niscount Las Icelles and Princess Mary will pass tho first part of their honeymoon at Weston park. the Shropshire home of the Earl and Countess Of Bradford, who are distantly related to Lord Las |cclles.
 Weston Park is a charming resi- dence, set amid beautiful surround ings and is in a portion of the country |as yet quite unknown to the Princess who is expected to pass about three weeks therc It is one of the most comfortable residences along the whole of the Welsh border. Princess bridge has his home at Shotton, a few miles away.
 May Hold state Ball
 There is some talk of a state ball being held at Buckingham Palace in the early summer in honor of their marriage. These functions went out of fashion, but they formed a great feature of the court season in the days of Queen Victoria. when Alexandra, then Princess now the Dowager Queen, usually acted as the Queens representative.
 In those days. these entertainments were most deadly dull and King Ed | ward used to be quite frank in ex- pressing his qualification when they came to an end. The ball that is now would, however. be on quite different lines, and the formal ! state quadrilles with which balls used to be opened would be eliminated

ATTENDANTS AT ROYAL WEDDING
 W DILEMMA OVER PROPER ATTIRE
Ukase of State Chamberlain Has Many of the Women
 the Princess Mary.Viscount LasceIes Nuptials

London, Feb. 2s. (The Associated Press).--About 1000 women anc girls were among the elect mad' happy by receipt of invitations t Princess Mary's wedding to Niscoun Lascelles at Westminster Abbey, to day. With them the all-importan questions were What shall l wear?' and What will the bridal part, wear?"
 Within certain limits. the state chamberlain, who designatcs tho form of apparel for state occasions settled the matter. He prescribed ''mornng dress with hats, also orders and decorations" Dressmakers car. red the thing bit further by an, nouncing that it would be a bro Sade" wedding, that material heinz favored by several of those socially prominent women whose selections usually govern.
 The state chamberlains ukase ruled out the wearing of wells, plumes and trains. In the interests of economy this had been the rule at the Court of St. James since early in the war, The result was some diminuation of nrilliancy, but the sacrifice contribut- cd to the comfort of the feminine part of the wedding congregation as Westminster Abbey has long been termed "a vast coll c c ion of draughts.'
 Morning Dress Is Proper.
 The choice of morning dress was made Tin view of probable cold weather and the continued prevalence of the influenza epidemic" It is re- called that many women who attend ed the wedding of Princess Patricia at the Abbey three years ago, when more elaborate and less protective 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 uniform, with orders and decorations. For civilians, court dress was prescribed. Swords were a part of this attire. Soldiers without dress uniform were permitted to use service kit.
 Brocadc Is Popular. ..
 Brocade has been increasing in popularity for some time. Now it is all the rage and the wedding party afforded a gorgeous display of this material in all its rich variety There were brocades of misty blue, of dull gold and shimmering silver The pat tern, in most cases, was E,lizabethan and the effect one of rare splendor
 Some Of the materials displayed at exhibitions held in west end modistes' salons before the wedding were mar vellous examples of weaving. To vary the plain gold or silver figuring, deli cate hydrangea colorings were intro duced and pretty shot effects achieved. Here and there stronger colors were seen-true jade for in- stance, and aquamarine--a approxi- mate definition, for this particular shading is so subtle as to defy ac- curate classification.
 One classically draped model in crepe faced silver cloth was fes- tooned from the shoulders with chains of large cut jet beads. A jet girdle set with brilliants was looped round the hips and trailing clouds of black

Itulle served as transparent substitute,
 for sleeves.
 | Many of the frocks were classic Il outline, long waisted and with fairl, full skirts reaching nearly to the ankles, according to one autocrat O, the dress world.
 Queen Has Dislikes. | AS to the extent of the decolletagt permissible. no specific instructions were issued, but it was well Known that Queen Mary disliked exaggera- ton in any particular Of feminine at. tire.
 A gown of handsome silver lace with the necessary matt surface, was sewn with pearls-festooned with them-this magnificent overdress be- ing imposed on a foundation of silver tissue.
 Yet another had surface of pati. mum paillettes with lapis lazuli pail lettes used to give mosaic effect, the whole thing being partially yelled
 in mooniight-blu tulle
 But satin was not altogether ruled out. A frock of jade satin Anglais" with a sparkling diamond and pearl corselet hung with chains of dia- monds was shown.
 As to sleeves, the edict declared that revival of sleeves was certain. This, it is understood, was in deler- ence to wish expressed by queen Mary and pertained to court dress more especially than to gowns for the princess wedding.
 Received ..itil Welcome.
 Inclusion of the words with hats in the state chamberlains dress speci- fications was perhaps more welcome news to milliners than to those at tending the Abbey service-certainly the male contingent was not over- joyed Most of them, and many wom- en- were fearful the hats in front of them at the Abbey would obstruct their view. This consideration ,ap- parently, was taken into account at most shops and a variety of specially designed small hats and toaues was displayed to minimize this disad- vantage.
 Many attractive alternatives to what the modern woman terms a hat were suggested. The iewelled caul of the 14th century might be re- vived, it's sponsors directing attention to the opportunities it afforded for beautiful jewels suggested that tiaras might be ''roofed" with tulle or chiffon in order to qualify as suitable head-gear.
 ''Toqucs of Russian satin, gauge. lace, chenille and silk straw ware trimmed with ribbons, embroideries and flowers, and many of them have semi precious stones hanging down on one or both sides declared one of Londons most fashionable milliners

New Railway Clerk
 Work Rules to Go in Effect February I
By Associated Press

Chicago. January 22.-Although op- posed by the three railroad members of the United States railroad labor board, provision for time and a half pay after nine hours of work was re- tained in rules governing railway clerks issued today by the board, which also authorized an eisht-hour day within spread of 12 hours. The new rules become effective Febru- ary 1.
 The railroad members, in a dissent ting opinion. declared that punitive overtime within 10 hours was unjust, unfair, unreasonable, and burdened the carrier with an uneconomical con- dition."
 The new rules supplant the national agreement of federal control This provided time and one-haif pay over eight hours, which the roads con- tended was particularly burdensome, where only intermittent service was required but which extended over a longer period than eight hours. The split trick" cited by the new rules will remove this objection, 1t is thought.
