RINGS ON HER FINGERS

AND FLOWERS ON HER TOES!

Buttonholes are to be more in evi- i dence than ever during the coming ! season, and Miss 191’7 has found yet another place for wearing them—on ! her toes!

The latest shoes ; for evening: wear include a large j number of models j which have flower j buttonholes instead | of buckles, the former consisting of either chubby round posies or decorative , sprays. Black satin slippers decorated with i Victorian posies of : pink rosebuds and ; forget -me - nots, j framed in silver- ; paper frills, are an ! example of the new j mode. One or two women have been wearing a huge buttonhole flower on evening shoes, the flower sometimes being considerably bigger than the shoe. The effect is rather bizarre, iind is only possible at all with women of tiny feet. An original effect was conceived by a dance girl who had a beautiful pink carnation on the toe of her right satin slipper. The buttonhole looked as if it had been dropped casually into the position it occupied. Wearing a flower buttonhole on the toe of only one shoe is a quite attractive “sideline” of the new' fashion.

Invitations both to wedding and reception are sent out in the bride’s name. Only in a case where she has given up her own household on the death of her late husband and returned to her parents’ home, are the cards issued in their name, as on the first occasion. At the same time the widowbride is described as “.Mrs. So-and-So, widow of Mr. So-and-So.” When the displayed presents are viewed, the wedding cake is cut, as a marriage bell”—as they say, healths are drunk, and nil goes “merry whether for maiden or widow bride. —P.
