it occurred at the North; where they are
ao mil of new ideas, and an capacitated to
carry them out; and it fallowed the re
hearsal ot a swell wedding, which was to
take place the following night.
The ladies were in demi-toilet; several
gowns Deing of soft grey or chocolate,
with panala and fixings of white silk; and
th<y wore the daintiest of liny bonne s,

twenty. They arranged and r* -arranged
pictnrisqn gioupaln the grand old church
until at 11 o*cluck they were satisfied that
all was as it should be, when they entered
i heir carriages and were whirled to the
elegant home of the maid of honor; who
was to entertain the party, complimentary
to the bride and utuom elect.
As they entered the reception hall; a
burst of delicious music somewhare in the
unseen diet .nee greeted tbem; the soft
harmony of harps and violins Tue kack
toon a were fragrant with the breath of
many fl wets, but it w*a ol the dining
room and anpper that I wish particularly

Etclam .lions of sur. 1 •: and delight wo o. <
b.ard as b - poitn rea - re drawn back at;
midoigut, disclosing a l-*ng table with j
equare ends. Of course there were otner
things in the room beside the table. It I
was a model in its every appointment, bnt
I doubt anyone noticed muen beyond that
center of the joys ot appetite, the table.
The softened light ol many wax can
dles in silver candelabra, shone over the
lace cover, imparting a roseate tint from
the da nty shades. A Ion* mirror in tbe
center, t*ordered with btide roses and
stmlax, represett d h - sea of matrimony,
ou whose char waters fl *ated a peril City
rigged sbi . -lesiined presum ibly to bear

lined with pink, and covered with white
roses a -d cam-turns. At tbe beads ot
tbe table were siaiilar chairs lor bos’.ess

Tile favon were white celluloid heart*
tied with white ribbon and daintily piin'-
ed with apt quotations. Everything about
the supper celebrated the coming event in
the most p* rlrci manner. The foll'iwing

Tue supper was eaten moat leisurely and
everywhere were soft Igughter and plead
ing conversaiioo; tbe uns en muaic wrap
ping all in a delicious, dreamy glow, as
the unknown future bewildered abd en
chanted the hearts of bride and groom.
Whether or not that; future was destined to
realize tbeir sunny hopes, time only could
t u. : - .
The late craze for wbite bur bi Is fair to
take a grasp on popular favor. What is
more beautiful than powdeied hair 'and
qnaint attire; and when have we bad more
of the picuresque in dress’than now; with
our new dinner coats of Lonis-Tiozqjirc-
eade over petticoats of rufflrd lace; our
widn.stripa and brimu flowers in soft ma
terials; our black satin evening boota with
tbe scarlet borls, and Henri—Deux raffs!
Yes, it seems eminently fitting -that hair
should suddenly become snowy white, to
be in keeping. Even tbe half suspected
youth of a face is ten-fo d eobinted by
the snow-crown of apparent age. it brings
so much of wonder to ill.- bt holder, aud so
much admiration.
But what are we to do, when, after tbe
bleaching process that we a e assured can
be done “with safety,” baa done its work,
and weahine forth resplendent in silver
crowns—what are we to do, 1 s-y, if dam-
fashion turns ber fickle self .entirely
a ound, elves garments afl r‘,ind d* dares
raven 1-cks or d< attil Tbeu, 0 then, shall
we be in various rainbow hues and despair,
until some ent- rpriaiue iuv«ntor shall an
nounce another safe at.d sure process
wh- reby our locks may become of murky
darkness, may take On the. bue adopted by
the melancholy dame. .
Now we have bad pale yellow in hair,
-nd ruddy gold, and anborn, and fieiyn-d,
and black and grey and snow wbite.
What uexil Have we got to come to
green or bine! Spare us, good faabio-,
