Another fairy-like hoa is of white tulle gathered in full, fluffy folds, interspersed inter-spersed with saucy black velvet ribbon h.rps.

Bridal Gowns Second Marriages. S.-pi ember Weddings arc to be a mistake because of th-? nerve-racking process of getting a trousseau tegtther. October weddings put an entirely differ- mt phase on the ijuestion. as anutumn fr.Kks are sure to be practicable, and O -tober is the month of months for a honeymoon. Dressmakers s;ty there are to be a large number of second marriages mar-riages this fall and Salt L-dw, Denver and Butte will probably come in for a share of these, as in other cities of the country. The trousseau for these diffe mostly in the wedding gown, which o::nnot be of white, no matter Low young. ihe bride of a s.-cond inarr2XP may be. The gowns of two second bridals are making in one of the most popular New : York houses. In each e-ae the wed- ding is to be rather a quiet affair, though elaborate to the last detail. One ( wedding gown is all in soft pearl color. ' A long coat of per.rl brocade has its In- ' t oroyahle revers and cuffs embroidered Jn pearl and cream find silver. The chiffon skirt in pearl has a narrow trail of the" embroidery between in.-et band of f;-.f old lace, and the embroidered chiffon blouse has a jabot of the same time-yellowed lace. A lace toque with a cluster of creamy ostrich tips drooping droop-ing at each side and held by silver ornaments or-naments accompanies the costume. The other gown is of old ivory and gold. This old ivory, warming almost to amber, is, by the way, to be exceedingly exceed-ingly popular this season, especially with women for whom the ubiquitous pure white is not becoming. This ivory wedding gown has a postillion pos-tillion coat of lustrous velvet with a I deep collar of heavy bice threaded with I goid and lined with gold tissue. Large j wrought go-Id buttons are the only other ! trimmings of the coat, but the Liberty ! satin skirt anil blouse have many bands of the gold-threaded lace running vertically verti-cally between clusters of fine tucks. The hat of soft ivory felt has a sweeping sweep-ing ostrich plume in the same color, held by a wrought gold buckle. Chicago Girls Act "Bank Clerks." Thirteen girl bank tellers all in a row! The iirst of their sex to sit solemnly sol-emnly behind the brass bars of a banking bank-ing window can be seen now every day in the savings department of the 1 loyal Trust bank, ltW Jackson street. They are a sight no offense, girls a beautiful sight, as they line up like so many HtUe financial nuns behind the graftings, take your money, count it with twinkling fingers, sweep it into a tray and murmur "Thank you." Kver hear a male teller say that? Then they have a systematic way of looking look-ing pleasant that would be a boon in a photograph gallery. but they're not allow- d to laugh or giggle. The bank otlicials expect an extraordinary extraor-dinary rush of visitors to the savings department, and the girls are now re-' re-' hearsing a th:s-is-my-busy-day stare for any idler who may come to their windows with nothing to deposit but kind words and curiosity. Cashier Edwin F. Mack said yesterday yester-day that his fair tellers were not introduced in-troduced for the purpose of displacing men. "We will not place them in the commercial com-mercial department, where the work is heavier and swifter," he said. "We have found that girls excel in this kind of work. There is so much small detail de-tail about that part of the business that it is not suitable to men. The girls are so painstaking- with trifles, so punctual and so discreet that we are sure that they will make a great success suc-cess of this new work." The girls have been chosen for their ability in handling both money and customers. They are all comely, and, of course, young. They have been drilled into the conviction that bank telling is the most sedate and fascinating fascinat-ing work in the world, and they're all enthusiastic about it. They are of one mind to the effect that gossiping dur-in dur-in office b its is a misdemeanor, and flirting an atrocity. Mourning Made Attractive. Take, for instance, the dress of a young mondaine in slight mourning. The skirt of plain black voile is hi-mmed at the bottom with several rows of stitching, which are repeated at the edge of the shaped flounce. Her blouse of embroidered lawn in deep ochre tint, this being allowable with black for slight mourning, has sleeves with wristbands. wrist-bands. High starched collars and cuffs, cravat of black gauze knotted in front; belt of black gros grain with an oxidized oxi-dized buckle set with small brilliants. Breton hat of coarse straw, encircled with black vlevet and much raised at the back with a large blackbird with extended wings. Surely nothing could be simpler than this little mourning costume, and would stamp the wearer's refinement and good taste at a glance. It would be impossible to miss the note of refinement and harmony, in spite of its modesty and simplicity. CONQUERED HER RIVAL. We have recently read a beautiful incident. Jenny Lind and iiisi were both rivals for popular favor in London. Lon-don. Both were invited to sing the name night at a court concert before the queen. Jenny Lind, being the younger, sang first and was so disturbed dis-turbed by the fierce, scornful look of Grisi that she was at the point of failure when suddenly an inspiration came to her. The accompanist was striking the final chords. She asked him to rise and took the vacant seat. Her fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, and then she sang a little prayer which she had loved as a child. She hadnt sung it for years. As she sang she was no longer in the presence pres-ence of royalty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland. Softly at first the plaintive notes floated on the air. swelling louder and richer every moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that wierd. thrilling, plaintive "prayer." "pray-er." Gradually the song died away and ended in a sob. There was a silencethe si-lencethe silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbound. Jenny j Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into j the scornful face that had so disconcerted discon-certed her. There was no fierce ex- pression now; instead a. teardrop glisf j tened on the long, black lashes, and after a moment, with the impulsiveness impulsive-ness of a child of the tropics, Grisi crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed her arm about her and kis?ed her, utterly ut-terly regardless of the audience Our Dumb Animals. |
