UP—Boclety's lorgnette was focused on bridal vells and orange blossoms this week, dur- ing an almost endless procession of weddings. There were other interest- ing events on the calendar, but ft was an environment of atiff white satin, calla lilles and organ notes that held primary intereat. Time was when June was the month of brides, but that day seems to have waned. Now February, pre- ceding the dull days of Lent, is one of the most popular wedding months. The Lenten days, which sometimes drag in town, present an opportune time for a honeymoon ' in Europe or a crulse on the Mediter- ranean. The fact that several weddings were. solemnized in the morning hours added to society's interest, Social New York has few sartorial problems und it enjoyed settling the question of what to wear at a morn- ing wedding. The majority of guests chose nilks and satins, while some appeared in tweed and topcoats and others chose fur wraps slipped over sleeveless frocks accompanied by little jackets. Mrs. Stanwood 8. Menken appear- ed at the wedding of Miss Betty Getty and David Peck in a tallored honey heige satin street frock orna- mented by criss-cross tucking. With it Mrs. Menken wore a wrap of dyed beige ermine and a small felt hut of matching shade trimmed in fur, Mrs. E. W. Feber chose a one- plece frock of turquoise blue crepe de chine, trimmed with white bands. Her hat of turquolse felt was orna. mented by & large brooch of dia. monds.
