PRETTY WEDDING SCHEME

Rarely indecl has lavender been called into use for a bridal scheme, but. it will make an uncommon and attractive bridal procession in London this month, In the wide entrance of St. Mark's, North Audlcy Strpct, huge baskets or urns filled with mauve and purple lilac and lavender branches will provide the background for a group of small children wearing picturesque lavender frocks. They will attend AHss Ellen Liddell, elder daughter of Lady Ravensworth, of Eslington Park, Northumberland, when she marries Air Bernard Adani Hebelcr. Fine organdie muslin will be used for the lavender frocks, the long full skirts touching the toes and having lucks the edges of which arc cut to form “battlement” squares as they fall to the hem. Dainty Fichus of the same organdie finish the rounded necks, and trails of lavender will be used in place of sashes. Pretty head-dresses belonging to the days of the old criers of London consist of dainty bonnets made of shot green ribbon and bordered round the face with lavender blooms. Little lavender poisies will be carried, and these will doubtless be dried and cherished for many a long year by the bridesmaids.
