o, g THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921—PART T First of all I visited the Furniture section, and there found the prettiest Polychrome-finished Walnut Re- ception Hall Table and Mirror to match that any one could wish to have. This Polychrome finish is taken from the ancient Greeks, and, while it looks antique, is erfectly adaptable to modern day needs. And you now we are going back so much to the appreciation of things of bygone days. A Living Room Suite which I think father and mother are going to give me is upholstered in soft French blue brocaded cut silk velvet with so many pretty pillows, and big loose bolsterlike pillow arms to the settee. It is of finest mahogany in dull rubbed finish and ornamented with simple hand carving. One of the best examples of the beautiful Queen Anne design that I bave seen, and it is moderately priced, too, $695. ‘The Bedroom Furniture which Jack and I have already selected is quaint and distinctive. It is Louis riod, which you know delights in being distinctive. Ee hand-rubbed highlydpolilhed soft brown walnut is a particularly rich and handsome finish and each piece has burl walnut panels that add ever so much to its richness. The bed is in bowfoot shape and the vanity dresser in the seldom-seen kidney shape. $775 for 4 picces. Other Furnitare I saw and would like ever so much included a Solid Mahogany Spinet Desk in the original Spinet design—you don’t need to be told how beauti- ful it is— $95. Then, there was a Cowan original Martha ‘Washington Sewing Table at $27.50, which has already been promised me by Aunt Jane. For my guestroom I just must have those Twin Colonial Mahogany Poster Beds that have fluted columns and stretchers and the low panel footboard. Even though they are marked $125 each, they are certainly worth it and more. My Dining Room hasn’t been fitted out yet, but there were some perfectly lovely Period Suites and 1 know I will have no, trouble in deciding on one whether 1 buy it myself or some good relative or friend comes to my rescue. You know every bride- to-be lives in the hope that someone will read her mind, so I am just going to suggest that the William and Mary design Walnut Suite with hand-carved edges and fiddle-back chairs is the “apple of my eye.” So far I know three Rugs that I am going to get. To go with my Living Room Suite Brother Charles has romised me a Blue and Gold Hand-woven Chinese ug, plain blue center with 9-inch gold border re- lieved by a _two-toned floral design. For my dining room floor I have selected an Anglo-Persian Wilton with a two-toned Jaspe background and large Chinese figured designs in rose, taupe, gold, palm green, black and tan with a triple-border just right for confining this sort of design. I am also to get (but the giver has enjoined me to secrecy until a later date) a Plain Windsor Chenille Rug in a wonderful rose shade for my bedroom. It is such an interesting value I must tell you the price is only $80. In going through the China section I saw what I think is the most beautiful Haviland China dinner service, ornately decorated with gold edges and handles and a narrow green and gold checked border. It is open stock and you may buy as many or as few pieces as you want. Close by is a wonderful mahogany din- ner chime that I am wishing for, so that my guests will never have an excuse for being late to dinner. It is priced at $1850. A wonderful hand-decorated and painted Japanese Cake Set, with inlaid medallions and panels, has a black and gold Greek key border edge and is already promised me, and I hope some one will take my hint and give me the Berry Set to match which costs $17.50. Cut Glass for my Crystal cabinet is wonderfully rich and handsome. An Orange bowl in the Bride’s rose cutting was $1350, and Diamond Poinsettia-cut Crystal Candlesticks for the table are §17 pair; a Footed Apple Bowl would make a delightful centerpiece for my buffet and is $1650. But what thrilled me most of all was a Gold and Black Decorated Brilliant Crystal Beverage Set—the most original one I have ever seen. It was just being unpacked, so I couldn’t learn the price, but I just must have it. Wallace Nutting Pictures and Period Mirrors—what beauty they show. And while they are not using many pictures I must have a few Wallace Nuttings, they are so cheerful and such bright bits of color. I am going to have Electric Lamps and Candlesticks for every room, and in just a casual trip through the Lamp Section I found some of the prettiest things imaginable. As my color schemes are not definitely settled yet I can’t tell just what I prefer. However a Mahogany Floor Lamp with a Rose shade is what I think I would rather have for the Living Room. In table linens, an exquisite square cloth in spot and rose design costs $15, and the Napkins to match are $20 dozen. I also saw the Prettiest Hemstitched Linen Doilies, Cloths, Satin Damask Teacloths, also a Hemstitched All-linen Towel with chrys- anthemum and tulip border at $18 dozen. And one looking for gifts, should by all means, see the exquisite Madeira Linens. The Silverware section holds such a wealth of sug- gestive beauty that all one has to do is to decide upon the article to give. There is Sterling Silver, Hand- hammered Silver, Sheffield Plated Ware and Rogers and Community Plated Silver. INGLING with the mellow chimes of the old grand- father’s clock, striking five, we heard the first strains of the familiar wedding march from “Lohengrin”—and slowly descending the broad staircase came the little flower girl, with all the dignity of her full six years, in an adorable frock of white net, with fluffy panels inset with lace and trim- med with ruffles edged in pale blue baby ribbon. Her sash and rosettes were also of blue. Close behind her, with quite a manly air, the ring bearer, in a charming suit, the blouse of which was of cream ottoman silk, buttoning in Oliver Twist style, onto trousers of fine black velvet. The bridesmaids were in bewilderingly lovely frocks which, by the way, were designed by Nemser. Both were of exquisite embroidered net, the one trimmed in ‘wide Irish crochet over an underfrock of peach georgette crepe, embroidered in coral beads; a cluster of French flowers was caught at the waist with narrow green and coral ribbons. The others, trimmed in filet, over sea- foam green radium taffeta witha design of orchids and water lilies work- ed out in green and white bugle beads. The hats and the dainty bags, swung from their arms, were made of myriads of radium taffeta rose petals, pecoted in silver, matching their frocks. They wore long white kid gloves and lovely white silk hose with their dainty one-strap pumps of white kid. And then, in all her loveliness, the bride stepped forth —in a fairy princess wedding gown of lustrous crepe-back satin, with clusters of luxurious grapes of encrusted pearls, the leaves of scintilat- ing bugle beads. The sweeping lengths of her full court train’ ended in a ruche of tulle and orange blossoms, and her embroidered tulle veil, caught close to her head, was held by a coronet of orange blossoms. Long white kid gloves reached almost to her little cap sleeves, while with her soft white kid slippers she wore very fine plam white silk hose. The bride’s mother was indeed charming in an exquisite gown of black Chantilly lace, over an underdress of white satin, low cut, with trim- mings of jet beads. She wore a large black lace hat trimmed with ex- quisite French flowers, and her long gloves, strap pumps of suede and beautiful lace hose in medallion pattern were also in black. Her Going-Away Clothes Since it was June and apt to be quite warm, she chose a modish three- piece costume suit of Roshanara crepe. The smart box coat removed, a tailored frock is disclosed, with a new scalloped skirt_ and broad s_ash, faced in gray crepe. Her hat, a small close-fitting affair of navy mll.an, flaunted most exquisite coque feathers in French blue from its rolling brim. To further carry out the same lovely color scheme of gray was a luxurious fox scarf, platinum dyed, 16-button-length gray suede gloves,’ Paris point embroidered, and gray clocked silk hose to wear with voguish one-strap pumps of gray suede with collar and strap of gray ‘kid. Her Going-Away Trunk seemed a veritable treasure-trove, and as her maid carefully packed away her trousseau, we caught a glimpse of an exquisite set of white satin lingerie, gown, chemise and bloomers, matching, beautifully trim- med with embroidered and tucked georgette crepe, dainty Valenciennes laces, insertions, ribbons and rosebuds in pastel blues and pinks. A very pretty camisole of satin had a deep yoke of tucked georgette em- broidered in dots, and a petticoat, which would be lovely with it, had a flounce of georgette trimmed in ruffles of Valenciennes lace and ribbon bows in two-toned blue and pink satin. : A thing of delicate beauty was her neglige of orchid crepe de chine, with an overdrape of georgette crepe and embroidered lace and orchid rosebuds clasping at the waist. Matching this, a dainty boudoir cap of silk lace with rows of ruffled orchid ribbon and rosebuds, and a pair of quilted orchid satin mules. Breakfast could not be anything but a very happy occasion in a break- fast coat like the one we saw tucked away. Changeable rose satin was the beginning of it, but it ended in frills of lovely lace and rosebuds were dotted here and there. Even her little breakfast hat was of rose satin, boasting a single blown rose and ribbon streamers, and to accompany it all were dainty mules of guilted rose satin. e ‘The Bride’s Apparel, and that of her attendants, as described here—may be seen in our displays. I BEARS IN CONTROL OF STOCK MARKET Hammering Away at the Rails on Theory of Dividend Reductions. NEW YORK, May hour trading period was simply a cond tinuation of the market of yesterday afternoon. It was following out the unfavorable Impression made then by the unexpected action of the Chesa- ptake and Ohio directors in postpon- ing dividends and it was laying fts plans for'more unfavorable divideng’ announcements by both rail and in- dustrial companies The weakest m 21.—Today's two- s . bers in the railway st were Gre: orihern preferred and Northern Pacific in preparation © cutting of their di ed next mo the Hill stocks, 1 distributers.

A further break in American Lin- seed and pronounced weakness in Pullman, Corn Produets and Vana- dium were the principal features among the specialties. Oll Stocks Under Pressure. The oil stocks, particularly the Mexican oils, suffered in the market today, and were under pressure throughout. The weakness in Pan- American A carried it into new low ground for the year. Reports re- ceived on the oil market show that practically the only refined product Which has a good market at present is gasoline, and this, due to good weather, has exceeded all expecta- tions of refiners, at least in the east The kerosene market is experiencing a seasonable slump. Refiners are authority for the state- ment that gas and electricity are making gradual inroads’in the con- sumption of kerosexne in this country as an illuminant, which is its chiet use. The lubricating oil market been greatly depressed so far year, because of the stagnant condi- tion ‘of the export trade and spotted domestic industrial activity. _Sugar Piling Up. In its review of the sugar market the Federal Sugar Refining Company. says that with new sugar piling upl at the ports and exports decreasing the Cuban sugar planters are de- manding the abolition of the Cuban sugar finance commission. Stocks of sugar at Cuban ports now total over one million tons, the largest on rec- ord at any time, and they are increas- ing weekly. 4 _— - ’ Washington Stock Exchange SALE Mergenthaler Linotype—2 at 12115, 1 at 12115, AFTER CAl Gapital Traction.—5 at 8%, ashington Railway pfd.—5 at 63, 2, 25 8t G4 el Bid and Asked Prices BONDS PUBLIC UTILITIES. 1.
