Instead of the orthodox bouquet of orange blossoms or white and silver prayer book, the bride carried a fan of costly point lace, which was attached to her wrist by means of a narrow white satin ribbon. Her long nnd narrow point applique veil was so arranged as to conceal little of her hair. The top was twisted In a loose fold, which was arranged In two loops, one much lower than the other, at the side of her moderately high coiffure. A very long and full spray of orange blossoms was fastened at the left of the tulle loops and trailed almost to her shoulder. A still larger spray was used on the corsage. asso-elatio- Housewifely Hints. Rub light gloves with fine bread crumbs after each time of wearing.
