The manu- cturers we entrust these preparations to — the best in the country, by the way—have made up this stock for us during their dull period—giving this work their most careful atten- tion—and appreciating the employment for their idle hands by conceding their usual profit. All these advantages show in the remarkably low prices we find it possible to quote. The saving But what is of mpre importance—we have exacted better work than usual—required the garments to* be cut in more generous proportions—to be trimmed more elaborately. As a result we have gathered here an assortment that has never been equaled at bargain time—or during the regular season. Such values at such prices are sure to shorten the duration needs of a six months’ future. 2 a com, | Skirts. z ery, collars and raea ‘4 finished with cambric Muslin Skirts, with wide, zs e tucked cambrie ruffle and 50 cents. —_ above, made ou yoke- 4 = 50 cents.

THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Brilliant Marriage Scene at Noon To- day. . Miss Juliet Norton Becomes Mrs. Paul Johnson—A Stewart Castle Debut Bali—Coming Events. At noon today, at the residence of Mrs. John Nicholas Norton, her daughter, Miss Juliet May Norton, was married to Mr. Paul Evarts Johnson by Rev. Thomas 8. Lee, rector of St. Matthew’s Church. The ceremony was witnessed by an assemblage of relatives and friends, who afterward were entertained at breakfast. Late: this afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Johnson started for a honeymoon jaunt, and when they re- turn will reside here. The bride ts a charming young lady, high- ly cultured, and an especial favorite with her friends. She has been conspicuous in social events since coming here to reside. Her father was the late Rev. John Nicho- las Norton of Louisville, Ky., very well known among the most eminent Episcopal divines of that state. Mrs. Norton has re- sided here for the past ten years in the fine heme she erected at the southeast corner of 16th and L streets. She is a lady of wide culture, and entertains with the grace and ease of the women of the blue grass ccuntry. The fortunate young gentleman, Mr. Paul Johnson, who was so heartily congratulated today is a great favorite arrong the old residential families, with the younger members of whom he has been identified all his life. He is the youngest son of the late Mrs. Febiger, wife of Ad- miral Feblger. The latter was present to- day to witness his stepson’s happiness. Mr. Johnson is a practicing lawyer here. The ceremony took place in the front drawing room, which, with the other rooms adjoining, was profusely adorned with flowers. The tower window was the wedding bower. Tall, overarching palms were arranged on either side. Curtains of smilax starred over with bride roses com- pletely concealed the silk draperies. These flower curtains were seemingly held to the curtain rod by a great cluster of long- 7 We're champions of finest quality.

This same effect was repeated over the other windows and docrways of the draw- ing room, which, until the bridal party had entered, wes tied off by white ribbons extending frgm the Mbrary doors to the wedding bower. The mantels of the li- brary and dining room were banked with greer and studded with bride roses. The effect of the wide mantel of the dining roota was especially rich in treatment. The bride's cake had the square bay win- dow to itself. Palms filled In the recesses and tie cake was surrounded with bride roses. A wedding breakfast of all sea- sonable dainties, and with hot and cold dishes, was served. The table was decked with maidenhair ferns and white roses. An orchestra from the Marine Band was stationed in the lower hail and played the wedding march as the bridal party ad- vanced through the rooms io the drawing room. Mr. Carl Schurz of New York at- tended the groom as best man. The bride's mother came in with Admiral Febiger, and the bride's only attendant was the six- year-old mece of the groom, Eleanor Febiger Ewing. The bride was escorted by her cousin, Judge J. K. M. Norton of Alexandria, and Rev. Father Lee perform- ed the marriage service. The bride was gowned in superb white brocaded satin. The slightly trained skirt Was without trimming. The bodice was trimmed in a fluffy effect with chiffon. held at the waist by a deep girdle of satin. The sleeves had the mousquetaire effect and short high puffs. The tulle vell which completely enveloped her figure was held to the hair by a handsome diamond crna- ment. Her bouquet was of bride reses and lilies of the valley.

H. Burdette and Miss Hatue Par- ker, the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Myron M. Parker, was made last evening, and comes in the rature of a decided surprise to the many friends of both families. Mr. Burdette is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Burdette, 1026 Vermont avenue, and the two young people have long been neighbors and intimate friends. It was generally un derstood that the intimacy would uliimately lead them to the altar, but none of their best friends suspected for a moment that the marriage had already taken place. In point of fact, they were married April 19 jast in Camden, N.J. They were both stay- ing at Atlantie City at the time, and on that day they made a hasty trip to the city which has been the scene of so many ro- is + POSCOSEEGHDDOOG IETS 4 sb aoa eoumre”je, Price | inantic marriages, and were Joined in mar - prices are always lowest.

It is thought that all will cnd well, as no objection was ever made to an engagement. Miss Parker is the eldest daughter of Col. and Mrs. Par- ker, and is a very attractive and popular young woman. She was to have made her formal debut in society at a tea given by her mother next week. Mr. Burdette is a Pena young fellow of about twenty- four, and is asscciated with his father in business. Senator and Mrs. Stewart at a brilliant reception and ball last night presented to their large circle of friends their attractive young granddaughter, Miss Bessie Fox, and Stewert Castle has another great event to add to the long history of social functions adapted as it is to Jarge entertainments, and fewer still which light up so well and which permit a comfortable passage from one point to another.
