FEATURES Brides No Longer Limited to White BY MARY MARSHALL, ited and colored wedding gowns are not the radical innovation that some persons seem to think them to Le. They are merely 1he styles of long a and there excellent medieval precedent for such #orgeous bridal raiment. notion until within a few years has been, of course, that if a girl had a formal wedding, with wedding veil and a formal wedding gown, then The modern | brojdered alone or in combination with one of the tints just listed. The sketch shows a gown of re- @ reversion 10]cent making. It is of pale pink satin with slashed panels showing chiffon in the same shade. The gown is em- in pink beads and rhine stones and the panels are edged with beads. The lace veil is held with a pink bead motif and the bride carries pink sweet peas. Following out the color scheme the gloves are of light pink suede. The sketch shows the detachable train—which falls from the shoulders—of chiffon applique-ed with pink satin embroidered in beads and rhinestones. Leaving off this train, the gown becomes a quite wearable little dance or dinner gown. The daughter of an English lord, | who was married this Spring, chose 2 medieval wedding gown of gold tis- sue, with an old Brusse lace veil. Her bridesmaids, who were all chil- dren, were dressed in cherry red, The scene was one of medieval splendor and richness and has set the style since then for cherry-red brides- maids’ gewns. With~ the all-white bridal gown bridesmaids’ gowns may be of what color you please. Redfern of Paris has shown in recent display a wed- ding gown of white crepe satin with a train of tulle accompanied by bridesmaids’ gowns in rose beige rimmed with velvet ribbons of blue, and wide-brimmed hats.

THE EVENING What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Taurus. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are quite benign and eminently suited for all Sunday observances and recrea- | tiona. They denote, until at dusk, a desire for 'contentment. tranquillity ard peace of mind. Even though things may be said or acts may be perpetrated that otherwise would distress yvou, at this time you will meet them all with indifference and with a shrug of the shoulders. In the evening the conditions are not quite 8o favorable and there will be a tend- ency to show the “chip on the shoulders,” which only will provoke unpleasantness and lack of harmony. This tendency must be fought if re. grets are to be avolded and poise and self-control firmly established. This can best be done by quiet reading or some other amusement of a harmless character. A child born tomorrow will not, at birth, be very strong and will inspire a considerable amount of thought as to its future. This feeling, however, is quite unnecessary, as, with proper care, it will develop into a healthy and normal creature. Its disposition will be emotional and its acts will be more the result of impulse than de- liberation. Its character will not be so firmly established as could be de- sired, and, although wishing at all times to do that which is right and never inspired by the desire to do any one harm, it will, byt its lack of vision, very often cause considerable | trouble where none was intended. It will not be very studious, nor will it | shine at school, but, with constant | effort, it will succeed in getting by. and very demonstrative, and if its love be returned will be exceedingly happy, although not materially su cesstul. If its love, however, is not reciprocated, it will be unhappy and miserable. | "Is tomorrow your birthday? 1f so by your experience and by your | actions vou have succeeded in secur- ing_the confidence of those associated | with you.

Sometimes, if not too large and in the case of some shrubs, they may be transplanted ad help to start a neighbors’'s garden.” “What are some of the best trees for ornament?” asked the amateur. Mr. Burbank answered: ““The maples, the elms, the lindens, birches and beeches, catalpas, moun- in ash, the oaks, etc. And for the low-growing trees the lovely Japanese flowering cherries, crabapples and plums with the catalpa bungel, the Japanese maples, the Camperdown elm, weeping mulberry and the dog- woods. These are suitable for nearly all sections, but in warmer climates, like Florida and California, the list of suitable trees becomes bewildering. “What a wealth to choose from! Mr. Burbank continued: ““The taller-growing trees may massed on the boundaries or corners, leaving the lawn almost un- broken, wholly so, if small. Where there is a view to be preserved, they may be planted and afterward trim- med, or even removed, to give a visa, and where there is anything unsightly they may be planted so as to screen it. ‘May I add to the list the button- woods, laburnum, tulip tree and gingko?” ertainly—they are all most de- sirable, but again limits of space must decide the matter.” But the garden writer, like all ama- teurs, was ever reaching out for more, as his next remark showed. “If only we might grow the Cali- HIGH LIGHTS OF HISTORY, [COMMAND OF TINENTAL ARMY AND SUFFICIENTIY fornia redwoods in the East, as they However, don't let it drive you to despair.

But although some of these trees do not really thrive as far north as central New York, vet they have proved hardy in the region of Wash- ington, D. C., and they may be grown along the Atlantic coast south of Washington. “The redwood grows with great rapidity, and, of course, requires a £00d deal of room; both varieties are ralsed from seed, and the redwood from cuttings as well, but seedlings are not very abundant in the dense forests, as the loose soil, with its porous coverings of needles, does not make a favorite place for them to root easily.” The student gardener said, with a certain conviction: “This lesson Is going to halt right here—the subject of sequoias is too interesting to pass over rapidly. First, what is the difference in the two trees?” Mr. Burbank explained: weil known “big tree,” and the other is the Sequoia sempervirens, known as the redwood. This redwood is re- garded as a variation of the gigantea, and this variation is supposed to have taken place in comparatively recent times, speaking geologically. “The redwood has flat and broader follage, a narrower, less compact form than its cousin, the gigantea, and thrives best in a lower altitude, nearer the seacoast. The “big tree,” on the other hand, loves the moun- tains and grows best in sheltered valleys over 4,000 feet above sea level, and sometimes near the snow line.” (Copyright, 1925.) o The wine crop of France in 1924 was 1,775,000,000 gallons, 18 per cent more than in 1923, and the Algerian production was 260,000,000 gallons.

They came originally from Asia Minor and Persia, and like the lilac and horse- chestnut, were first brought to Eu- rope by the Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople. The Turks seemed ferred the red and yellow tulips with narrow petals, and at first this kind was the only sort grown, though the round-faced Dutchman selecied by | Preference the round-petalled types. Soon, however, the popular taste in tulips grew sophisticated and craved variety. During the great “Tulipo- mania” of 1930, when bulbs were more precious than the precious metals and there was tulip specula- mania” of 1630, when bulbs were those that produced strange new | flowers—white-ground petals with varfous gorgeous splashes, and all the shades of mauve, lilac, rose, purple, and even the famous black tulips. The marvelous jagged kind, called “Parrot.” was early developed by horticulturalists and sold for hun- dreds of dollars a bulb. Today the despised simple red and yellow ‘tulips have returned to favor. They form the flower of those bright armies that now besiege the Capitol with fluttering banners Nowadays there are tulips for every | taste—doubles and parrots and | bizarres for those who love fantastic | shapes, Darwins for those who like | pastel colors, and the plain oldfash. | ioned cottage tulips for the simple of heart who ifke the strong gay colors |and well known forms.
