Maids in Mauve and Green GOODHUE—RUSS Ivory georgette and lace composed the dainty wedding gown worn by Pearl Lily, the second daughter of Air. and Airs.

Two maids attended the bride, the Alisses Elva Russ and Vera Goodhue, and their frocks were of viola mauve and leaf green crepe de chine respectively, and panelled with silver lace.

SPOTTY BAGS A SPREADING FASHION The fashion for spotted materials has spread rapidly to the accessories of dress. We have had spotted handkerchiefs and scarves, spot decorations on hats, and now the bagmakers and shoemakers have been bitten with the passion for spots. Like Sharkskin . Some of the new handbags are made to resemblqf shagreen. These are covered with a mass of tiny little globules just like the real fish skin, and are dyed in similar colours—pale pink, the greeny-blue, usually associated with this more expensive material, and various shades of brown and beige. One of the nicest of these bags is intended by the makers for motor use. Fitted Cases It is made on the lines of a jetfrelcase, with a deep enough space to carry thin night-clothes and fold ing slippers. At one side there are little silk pockets which hold brushes and bottles for toilet necessities. The whole thing is not much larger than a good-sized jewel-case, and is fitted with lock and key and handle for carrying. Sequins To return to this subject of spots. A correspondent in Paris says that quite a number of the new autumn models are given almost shilling-sized sequins of silver as decorations. Specially is this material used for theatre jackets. They look like coats of mail. Jewellery Notions The newest trinkets follow this vogue. Many of the latest beads appear to have been stamped flat and then threaded. Their separating “rondels” are of some other sort of stone. There seems to be a liking for flat lustre disks in pastel colours. These are made into choker necklets. There is a slight ornamentation in front where more decorative beads are mingled with the flat ones. The quick revival of thd choker, which has never really gone out of fashion, is due to the collarless necklines. They have a softening effect.
