Silver Weddings Now Fashionable TLVER will be triumphant this autumn,” said the French modiste, “in Hymen's realm, at least. Never was there such a demand for silver tissues and laces, sllver ceintures and ornaments to grace the bride and her attendants.” It is true that the reign of the chrysan- themum always induces a series of yellow and white weddings, and 1s apt to tip the scale of popular fancy in the direction of yellow metals, Indeed, a recent bride wore a white satin which was stiff with gold embroidery, and the white gown of another was powdered with tiny gold se- qQuins. But these are exceptions to the general rule, which decrees that silver should add its frosty sheen to the wedding white, In England they have even introduced a silver substitute for the time immemorial rice. The bride and bridegroom are show- ered with tiny horseshoes, true lover's knots and slippers, all cut from silver paper. On this side of the water the bride- groom is giving to the wedding party quaint pieces of jewelry, with the bride's birth- stone set in silver. At a fashionable wed- ding the bridesmaids will wear silver girdles, which will be his gift, while silver scequins will sprinkle their chiffon robes. There scems to be a growing fancy for chiffon or some other diaphanous material worn over silk, for both the bride and her attendants, A charming bridal dress is of milk white silk muslin over white satin. The skirt is shirred into the band, after a fashion followed by our grand- mothers, At the height of the knees runs a four-inch insertion of Brussels lace. It 1s bordered by slightly draped slips of the muslin, caught at intervals by white rib- bon rosettes. Below this runs a garland of silver frosted oak leaves, mingled with a wide ruching of the muslin. The bodice has a high shaped collar of the lace and a round, shallow yoke of the shirred muslin. It is bordered by four- inch Insertion of the lace, edged in tha same manner as the skirt insertion. This insertion extends over the sleeves in the form of a cap and widens in the front in a pointed plastron, which extends almost to the waist line, A tiny nosegay of the silver oak leaves finishes the point of the lace plastron. The body of the bodice is of the muslin, blousing slightly over a wide girdle of white satin, The sleeves are shirred into the lace in- sertion which forms the caps, and widen suddenly to big puffs just below the cllow. A white strip of the lace insertion, cdged with the muslin and ribbon rosette trim- ming, forms the lower part of the puff. The high, tight-fitting cuffs are also of thoe lace, With this gown will be worn a tulle veil draped from a chaplet of mingl d silver oak leaves and orange blossoms The bridesmaids in this wedding cortege will also carry out the white and stilver scheme. Their gowns will be of white silk muslin trimmed with silver lace, Tha bodies are unique. They are collarless and have boleros and cape collars of silver lace, which give the effect of double boleros. The round cape collar does not meet in the front, but follows the curve of the bolero beneath it. It extends far down over the sleeves, giving an extremely long shoulder effect. The sleeves themselves are wide double Domestic Row in Business WO STORES which might have been one, two windows displaying rival brands of stogies and lolly- pops, tell of a domestic war which has made Mr. and Mrs. James Hamilton business rivals in Jersey City. No divorce or legal separation is con- templated so far. Friends of the competing merchants predict there will yet be a re- conciliation. In the meanwhile the prices of coal ofl, fce cream and granulated sugar have gone down to rock bottom in Grand street, Jer- sey City. Hamilton is at his old place at (84, and at 650 is the establishment which his wife a week ago started after a burst of feminine Indignation. Because she could not have a regular allowance she declared her Inde- pendence 1 Saturday morning, and within two hours she was at work with a ham- mer putting up shelving in the vacant slore room. Funds drawn from her private bank ac- count furnished the capital to start the new business, and besides she drew from the other store some stock which she said shie had purchased with her own money. She removed several cases of canned vege- tables under protest, and even commenced to cart away two tons of coal. Then Ham- flton objected. “Keep it,”" cried she, ‘“and may it burn your fingers,"” whereupon she posted the announcement: “Bottom knocked out. Coal 5 Cents a Pail.” By signs of her own lettering the woman Frills of Fashion Silk cluny is used for entire waists as well as for trimmings. White shaved coney and sea otier make handsome fur evening cloaks. oleskin plush is especially smart for a j:\?-iket whenpwuru with a cloth skirt of lke color. Short boleros of cluny or Irish lace, with elbow eleeves, are to be worn over slk blouses. Full pleatings of white chiffon and valen- clennes lace tinish the large sleeves of many hanasome cloaks, A modish brown velveteen suit has strap- ings and sleeves of brown cloth and brown &ulher belt about the Russian blouse. A pleated green chiffon lining is effective undelr a white cloth gurment, the frills of the lining failing below the cloth, A box coat of white shaved coney has shoulder capes, cuffs and front facings of white cloth embroidered in silks of delicate color, The addition of a white silk elastic belt closely studded with cut st squares gives a smart touch to a jacket of caracul, trimmed with chinchilla, One of the bhandsomest of this scason's many handsome white cloth gowns is richly embroidered with rfbbon flowers and silk cord, a border of moleskin finishing the skirt. A simple but chic gown of white cloth has the skirt in three circular flounces edged with white silk fringe. The full bodice of white net is overlald with a deep crepe 8tole, trimmed with fringe, Imitation furs are to be seen in children's clothing, and a coat for a little girl is made of a long, silky-napped wool, with black tufts set here and there to represent er- mine. There is a bonnet of the material to match, For very cold outings in automotiles there are hoods with capes fitting closely to the head, ribbed around the face and neck to hold them close. They are ulso used by hunters as well, the caps being arranged to pull over the head when sleep- fng out. These are knitted of the dark color natural wool, and will not shrink. t informed the public that she was throwing eggs at them at 156 cents, and the price of soda biscuits had gone down like lead. An ice cream freezer is among the prop- erties of the new place and a supply of champagne wafers for making frozen sand- wiches hourly is expected. In the mean- while cream 1is on sale, as may be seen from the marking pot legend: “That icy stare. We use it in making our ice cream. Thirty cents a quart.” One of Hamilton's specialties is ice cream sandwiches, Mrs. Hamilton is carrying the war into Africa in other directions. “Keep it dark,” says she, “Coal oil 10 cents a gallon.” “Why should anybody on this block be sour? Qranulated sugar, ¢ cents; molasses, 256 cents a gallon, with a pickle thrown in."” “There is going to be fun in the grocery business here for awhile. Look at the chil- dren coming in to buy."” Hamilton's cigar business is, or was, his main standby, so Mrs. Hamilton has up a sign: “Smoke up; cigars at trust prices on trust. I'ree matches."” Her husband is no band at sign paint- ing and does not dare take a partner, The woman's store is thronged by cus- tomers, many of whom seemed to make a small purchase as an excuse to talk with her about the present situation. She said her husband was 64 and she is less than 30, and that he tried to make her do all the work. Mrs. Hamilton and her 2-year-old child live in rooms back of the store. For and About Women Rome has one woman lawyer, Signorina Labriola, who is lecturing at the university on the philosophy of law. Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell of Montana re- ceived one of the highest fees ever paid a wombn, $10,000, for a case in which she de- feated J. B. Haggin, the copper king. It is said Mrs. Clara Foltz of California received a $10,000 fee. Rose Hartwick Th , _author of the famous poem, “Curfew Shall Not Ring To- night,” Is living at present in Lajolla, Cal. She was born in Indiana, in 1850. he poem wag first published in the Detroit Commer- cial Advertiser in 1870. Miss Julia M. Bracken of Chicago, o tal- ented woman sculptor. has bheen nmis- sioned to execute for the St. Louis exposi- tion a statue of that leading figure in Ame fcan history, and especially in the history of the Loulsiana Purchase, Jameg Monroe. Mrs. Emmet Humphreys of Sherman, Tenn.. is in Knoxville, endeavoring to «stab lish title to 100,000 acres of land in Tennes see. She is the great-granddaughter of John Sevigr, the first governor of the state, and the land for which she is suing In- cludes part of Nashville Bookbinding, a field which is attracting a constantly increasing number of women, has been carried to a high point of excel- lence by Miss Mary Sears of Boston. Miss Sears has studied her trade in London and Paris. She accepts pupils, but only those who are devotees of books and binding An editor's wife out in Kinsley, Kan., has been giving advice to girls contemplating matrimony in her husband’'s paper, “Girls,” she sayvs, “should refuse at all hazards the man who proposes at a dan Often in the glamour of the ball room men say what they wish unsaid in the ‘morning. Do not marry a man who writes ideal letters. He is invariably led away by his imagination No woman need flatter herself she will ever either cure a drunkard or enjoy being an old man's darling Do not marry a dyspeptic, for he will be insufferably dis- agreeable at breakfast. Do not marry a man who proposes by letter. He is a cow- ard.” The Kansas woman seems very in- dependent. There must be plenty of men in her section. Purifies as well s beautifies skin ruflles of the muslin, which extend to the elbows and are edged with muslin ruchings. Similar ruchings trim the full blouse of muslin which falls under the silver lace bolero. The skirt Is shirred over the back and hips. For ten inches above the bottom hem the muslin ruchings are applied in an old-fashioned pattern. The bridesmaids will wear wide sashes of the muslin, with ends finished by muslin ruchings, and short tulle viils under chap- lets of silver oak leaves. Another autumn bride will wear a silk muslin which is a miracle of hand embroid- ery. The trained skirt is laid in fine tucks, and three-inch wide =trips of hand embroid- ery make narrow panels down the front and on the hips. These extend to just above the knee, where an exquisite plece of em- broidery, fully eight inches wide, encircles the skirt. It forms the heading for a flounce laid in fine tucks. A six-inch wide band of the embroidery finishes the bottom of the skirt. The embroidery 1s In a charming garland pattern, and single em- broidered nosegays are scattered over the flounce. The waist has a deep yoke of the em- broidered muslin, extending over the sleeves to give the long shoulder effect. The bodice itself is of the muslin, made very full and drawn into a wide white satin girdle. Its only trimming is a draped bertha of the embroidered muslin edged with wide lace. The sleeves are tight-fitting to the elbow and laid In fine tucks. Below the elbow wide double ruffles of the muslin, edged with embroidery, fall softly over the arm. The veil is of tulle, gracefully draped under a spray of orange blossoms. A dainty gown for the maid-of-honor is of crepe de chine in a delicate peach shade This season the delicate colors which were formerly known as pastel shades are now called after the fruit color which they most resemble We thus have banana, peach, pear, lemon and many other fruit shades. This particular peach color gown has an oddly shaped skirt yoke which ts cut oul in five points, These points are continued down the skirt in two-inch wide box pleats, which are only stitched as far down a« the knees. The join of the yoke point and the box pleat is hidden by an appliqued medal- llon of narrow white luce ruching Tha skirt is fitted under the yoke with fine tucks or cords The walst has a rounded yoke of pink silk, covered with lace and trimmed with scattered lace medallions. The yoke s bordered by a cascade of oddly shaped shoulder capes of graduated size They meet in a point in the front, where they are held by a fancy buckle, and each is bordered by a lace rufile They extend down over the sleeves In points, These fall in a large puff to the elbow The underslecve is tight-fitting and is made of silk covered with lace. It ex- tends so0 as to almost cover the hand, and is finished by a tiny ruching of the lace, Double, lace-trimmed rufMes, similar to those on the walst, fall from the bottom of the sleeve puff at the eibow. The gown is finished by a folded girdle of pink sflk. Pages and flower girls are becoming an indispensable part of the wedding cortege. Indeed, the voluminous trains which many of the brides are wearing make the puges a necessity. The presence of these children gives an opportunity for quaint dressing At one wedding two tiny pages will wear white cloth tunics and knee breeches with silver buttons and buckles, White silk sallor suits will be worn by many of the pages st English weddings, but black velvet and satin court suits are more in favor on this side of the water. Another page's costume is a tunic of black veivet, with cuffs, wide sailor collar and dickey of white silk. With this are worn white shoes and short white stockings. The flower girls are wearing very simple frocks of musiin and organdy over silk, They frequently wear shirred hats of the same material, but a flower garland or one of the huge hair bows are equally pretty, HARRIET HAWLREY, Not one in twenty could tell the color of your eyes.
