THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECOKDER: WEDNESDAY, JULi 15, im.
THE PICTURESQUE BRIDESMAID.
Different Style* of Costumes Worn Now
aday* by the Bride's Attendants.
The fashionable wedding of today has
become a pageant of picturesqueness, in
which the bridal procession is a glitter
ing array of gay colors and historical
costumes. The bridesmaids in dresses
of the first empire or the directoire style,
and the tiny pages in court dress of the
time of Louis XIV alternate, and vio
with the bride’s procession of flower
girls, who are attended by Little Lord
Fauntleroys. It may be that the fair
bride has chosen to go into the church
escorted by a bevy of fair maidens who
are arrayed in the hues of the rainbow,
and shining in red, yellow and blue.
Others again are preceded In their pas
sage down the aisle by a seeming flock
of snowbirds, in their frocks of white
silk, trimmed with white fox furs and
silver braid. Another bride will choose
a bevy of fair maids who shall dress in
gowns of golden yellow, carry bunches
of yellow chrysanthemums or roses, and
altogether lend a gleam of sunshine to
even a rainy wedding day; while one
bride is recorded as having clothed her
maids in wedding garments of dust
colored broche figured with pink and
red roses, and hats of dust colored felt
hidden beneath claret tipped plumes
crowned their pretty heads, while tiny
pages dressed in ruby plush danced gayly
along.
Formerly the bridesmaids, like the bride,
were “clad in robes of shining white,’*
and their beauty and elaborate array were
supposed to be to her as the pale beauty
of the moon to the radiance of the sun,
as the modesty of the violet to the ele
gance of the rose, as the limpidness of
water to the richness of ruby wine; now
adays, the bride, the central figure round
which clusters all the love and joy and
hope that a wedding ring can hold—the
bride is apt to be in her conventional
wedding gown, the fashion for which
varies but little from year to year, though
she may substitute roses, hyacinths,
chrysanthemums or lilies of the valley
for the old time favorite, the orange
blossom and flower, is somewhat over
shadowed by the gorgeousness of her at
tendant maids. Sho may have them hand
cuffed together with floral links, she may
have them bound with chains of roses
which shall fall asunder as she falters
forth her solemn vow to love, honor and
obey, or she may have them ready to
strew flowers in her path as she turns, a
newly made wife, from the altar; but in
oil these picturesque fashions and quaint
Ideas,she detracts from the interest which
should center round herself alone, and in
stead of one interesting and beautiful
figure—for who ever thinks of tho groom?
—there comes a group of lovely maidens,
a galaxy of beauty in which each star is
of equal brilliancy. It can hardly be gain
said that in their picturesque array the
bridesmaids are fast stealing the honors
from the bride, who must confine herself
to the regulation snowy garments of silk,
satin and tulle, while her maids brighten
and beautify the wedding pageant with
sweet artistic fantasies and raphsodies in
raiment. So long os they are thus attired
the truth of the old adage that “Every
wedding makes another,” is quite sure to
be proved; and the charming maid, in
addition to her gifts of pin and locket
and bangle and buckle, may count among
her trophies a captured heart.—Boston
Herald.
The Ra*tle** Process for Kettle*.
The rustless process, which has been
until lately an experiment, has now
demonstrated that great economy can be
used, not only in iron pipes, but in every
article where iron is used. Over 2,000,-
000 kettles have been subjected to this
process in Pittsburg. Tho method is
very peculiar. After the article is made
it is put into a furnace made in an oval
shape, air tight After the iron has at
tained almost » White heat, tho air that
comes through the 'regenerators arid air
valves is shut securely off, and the fur
nace is made air tight After the air
has been shutoff the superheater, which
is located in the combination chamber at
the rear of thCftoraaoe,'
gl« from the air **»♦«*.' *
the furnace is filled with steam and kept
in that condition for eight hour*. At
short intervals a small valve is opened,
so os to allow the exodus of steam in the
furnace, allowing fresh steam to be pot
into it. When the articles have been
about ten hoars In the furoaoe there
has been accomplished the formation of
magnetio oxide upon the boo surface.
They are then put into an acid well,
which is the last treatment.—Exchange.

Do not write on ruled paper, or on that

Do not introduce your girl friend to
the gentleman visitor. Instead say,
“Miss Brown, will you allow me to pre

Do not talk especially to one person
when you have three or four visitors.
Instead make the conversation general.^
Do not attempt to take care of a man’s
overcoat—he has a vote and ought to be
able to look after his own clothes.
Do not ask people who they are in
mourning for. If you don’t know, wait
until you find out, and in the meantime
don’t ask after the members of their
family.
Do not giggle when a smile would
answer, and don’t talk in a jesting way
about things that are holy to other peo

Do not laugh at anybody’s form of
worship—respect a toad praying to
mushroom.
Do not say the rules of etiquette are
nonsense—they are made up for you*
comfort and mine, and arranged so that
the feelings of every human being are
considered.
Do not get into the habit of laughing
at elderly people. It is not only unlady
like, but it is vulgar.
Do not think it clever to find out bj

should lay bare her heart for an inqulsi

DEMON EDIXIR.
The Retort Unfortunate.
A certain Shakespearean club in one c<
the most fashionable suburbs was enter-
tained successively by the various mem
bers. It finally became the duty of a
popular young bachelor to assume the
position of bosh Wishing to make the
evening a pleasant reminiscence to all
present the gentleman had Rosalie Music
hall, in which he proposed entertaining,
decorated in a charming manner. He
also had a delicious luncheon served by
a proficient caterer, and the appoint
ments were elegant in every particular.
Bo thoroughly enjoyable was the evening
that every one felt like expressing their
thanks to the young host, ami in various
pretty speeches did tho ladies signify
their appreciation of his efforts.
Surrounded by a bevy of his fair
guests, the face of the young man was
the picture of delight, when another
young lady joined the circle and offered
thanks where thanks were due. Her
manner of expressing herself, however,
caused the light to die out of the young
gentleman's face, and a baby stare su
perseded it. It might bo remarked here
that the young man had offered his hand
to a Rosalie Court belle the preceding
month and been refused. And tho lady,
entirely unconscious of the affair, saidi
"Oh, Mr. Blank, I really must compli
ment you on tho charming manner io
which you have entertained us this even
ing. Everything lias been perfectly
lovely; wo have noticed the absence of
nothing that would have added to the
evening's enjoyment, unless, perhaps, a
hostess, and (in a piquant manner) we
are sure that is something you really
couldn't procure.”—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Anecdote of Rubinstein.
la Starina, a Russian paper, tells how
In Rubinstein's earlier days he narrowly
escaped being sent to Siberia. He played
before the Czar Nicholas In the house of
Count WWhorxky, and on returning
home lost hie passport A day or two
afterwards he w*» arrested and brought
before Gen. Galahoff, then chief of
police, who informed the prisoner that
he declined to believe anybody's evid
ence of his identity, even that of the
count Rubinstein persisted that lie was
a mere musician, and os one of the sub
ordinate police officers knew something
about music tho two were sent to try-
matters over on a dilapidated piano.
Tho test proved satisfactory, and the
general, remarking that "the prisoner
was apparently a musician," gave iiim u
permit for three weeks.

H
1 lie Demand for Cut Clan*.
The popularity of cut plans for table
decoration in not a fr.tl, but a growing
taste, the outcome of its increased beauty
in manufacture ami design.
When you see a fashionable woman
peering over the cut glass counter, in
quiring for something in Parisian or
Henrietta or discussing tho merits of
“strawberry.” “fan” or “diamond,” you
may know she is after American glass
and prefers a particular cut.
While tho inexperienced shopper sees
little difference in the similarly shaped
and decorated wares, it is yet true that a
man in Pennsylvania is rich as a king
because he had the wit to take out a
patent on one peculiarly cut figure.—
