Wedding Uolips.
Detroit Tribune : An inexpensive and
beautiful wedding dress can bo made of
embroidered surah and ornamental lace
with tulle veil , the whole costing about
$50 , Silk waists with white albattoss
for skirt ami drapery are also pretty and
useful for informal afternoons and cof
fees during the heason. Hobos of white
nun's veiling are becoming and grace
ful to make pretty evening dresses.
Tor those wishing a moro expensive robe
the conventional white satin is again
coming Into favor. Satin brocade is also
popular , as is also white corded silk.
White Sicillionn , or the old-faMiioncd
poplin , is also a favorite for court-trains ,
thts diapery being of a softer , non-cliiig-
material
A fashionable modistii is making for
an October bride a wedding gown with a
court train of cream white silk , em
broidered with bouquets of white silk ,
panels , and rovers oof white velvet. The
foundation skirt is of plain silk , with
thread-lace llounces. The waist is of
white velvet , with pointed vest front of
the embroidered silk. The elbow sleeves
have a frill of lace , the neck in a narrow
square in front and high back. The
boliHiint or full oiled at the back is pro
duced by bunching the train at the hips.
This edge of the traiu is cut in square ,
with a ruille of lace beneath. A narrow
ruillo of lace edges the front , relieving
the plainness across the feet. The dra
pery is very boullunt , which allows the
veil to hang gracefully over the back
from the head. The narrow square of
the bodice is also filled up with rare
thread laco.
Apropos of evening dresses tiiero is an
indication that the diaphanous fabrics of
tulle gau/.e and muslins , which had such
a hold on popular taste last season for so
cial afl'uirs , will bo superseded by some
what heavier textures , such as silks , em
broidered veilings , cashmere goods of
soft , delicate evening shades , exquisitely
tinted crepolsno , uud oven plushes. The
pretty , airy gossamers will with the
' 'summer ' girl1 , disappear with the first
chill autumn days. This is a move in
the right direction. There are a few
cast-iron constitutions that can trifle
with these transparent toilets , but the
most of American girls need comforta-
Ule , long-sleeved , high-necked dresses lo
insure even a moderulo degree of health.
Some Society Points.
Society is disporting itself in very
leisurely fashion at present. 1'opular
caprice for Hie moment seems to run to
leas English , French or Japanesque.
One instance is reported of a IS o'clock
tea , whore Ihe beverage was not served
at all. This goes to show that there
must bo something in the name moro
polent tlijm in Ihe beverage. Luncheons
seem lo share Iho general favor , ami
with a few exceptions the male sox
Bcoms to bo loft entirely on its own re
sources , and it doubtless blesses the
happy accident that prohibits its attend
ance at tea parties.
The fashion of annmuiciner engage-
mcnls has become such a malterofcour.se
in the larger cities thai Ihe society col
umns are generally headed with a list of
the botrolhals of Iho week. Frequently
cards announcing the interesting event
are sent out. Iteslow is a diagram of one
that was issued in Minnesota. The card
was a square , bevel edged , heavy paste
board , as an ordinary square envelope ,
and the announcement was printed thus :
EXOA.QKD.

Notwithstanding the fact that the ens-
loin is so general in the best society as to
have become a recognized statute iu the
code of fashionable etiquette , some per-
Bom * prefer to make the nuptial occasion
a complete surprise to their friends , and
give society a nine days' wonder. Some
discreet ones , too , have a deeply rooted
regard for the old saying that "There's
'twixt and " and believe
many a slip cup lip , -
liovo that in matters of matrimonial
uncertainty it is belter to bo slow
and sura than atlbrd their dear
friends a chance to oiler polite
impertinences instead of good wishes and
lurking sneers for respectful congratula
tions. Society is never so discreet as
when it is disl rust f til.
People are inquiring what has become
of the Sans Ccremonio club. It is time
that organization decided the question by
giving a hop.
The charity ball is another conundrum.
Judging from the examples constantly
brought to light there must be enough
poor in Omaha lo warrant such a pro
ject being put on foot , and Thanksgiving
night is u belter elate to sot than the
Fourth of July. It was pretty near that
lust year.
It Is rumored that some private danc
ing parties are on Iho tapis ,
Musical Society.
The Ladies' Musical society opened Its
season Wednesday with a good attend-
unco and excellent programme of Lizst
numbers , Miss Knight giving a graph
ical sketch of thu composers. Miss Mor-
kol followed with the beautiful ' 'Know- '
cst Thou the Land , " which , however ,
has more of a Thomas than Lizst ilavar.
Miss Minnie Rothschild played the
Illmpsodiu Hongrolso , No. 2 , with bril
liancy. Mrs. Kstabrook was down fo'r two
songs , but was not present. Miss OIHcot
gave ) the Liebes I'nuim Nocturne ) , No. 8 ,

Fnuiko was ill and unable to sing , but
Mr. Franko made a delightful substitu
tion of two violin solos , a Russian ail
from Wioniawski , and two movements
from a Mendelssohn sonata. Miss Ullicoi
accompanied him.
Membership books were given to every
ouo present. They tire daintily gotleii
up' and will bo preserved as souvenirs

day evening at the dairymaids enter
tainment. The concert was opened by a
chorus nnd countermarch of twenty-four
youthful milkmaids , looking very demure
in white kerchiefs and cups. They car
ried three-legged stools , bron/ed and
lied with bright ribbons , with a tin pail
suspended below. Among these who
contributed to Iho evening's entertain
ment was Miss Edith Davis , who sang
Arditi's "Kcstucy. " Miss Davis lias a
fresh , brilliant and resonant voice , which
is worthy of cultivation.Vallor and
Louis Dale followed with a piano duel ,
which wab given with agreeable crisp-
ness. A tiny boy and girl recited
"Where Are You Ooiug , My Pretty
Maid , " and by the briefness of the selec-
lion showed gooil laste ami judgment
that older amateur elocutionists would
do well to prolit by.
Ouo of tiio most interesting numbers
was a staccalo song given by Miss Ida
Porter , a recent acquisition to musical
circles hero. She is possessed of a pure
Hapruno voice , of peculiar ami agreeable

London Society : lietorc two quakers
could marry that is , and remain in the
society the parties were required to at
tend a meeting and publicly announce
their intention of being wedded. A com
mittee was then unpointed , which insti
tuted inquiries to discover , among other
things , whether the. man wasin a Position
to marry , and whether lie was tree from
the claimof earlier affection. They also
inquired into the state of his health , and
whether his relations had any objection
to his marrying , and if not. 1'f they saw-
reason to object to the. wife be had
chosen. A committee of women made
similar inquiries regarding the girl , and
were very particular whether site had
over ilirted unwisely or otherwise mis
conducted herself.
That the young couple bad not sufli-
cient means to marry upon was not con
sidered in itself an insuperable bar , for
the society , not having the fear of Mal-
thii.- . before its eyes , had a fund from
wl-icli grants could bo made toward fur
nishing. In very early times tins parties
were expected to be accompanied by their
parents , or at least to bring duly signed
and witnessed assents from them , when
they attended to announce their intention
of gcttinj : married , but this was soou
"
given .up.
On a lixed date the parlies were re
quired to attend another meeting , when ,
alter they had staled they iYero still in
the siime mind , and if the committee of
inquiry had reported favorably , permis
sion to marry was formally given uutl a
day for the nuplhils sot.
There was no approach to a formal cer
emony at the wedding. After a period of
worship generally silent the engaged
stood up and took each otlior for better
or worse ; : i certificate recording ; the fact
was then road and signed by u number of
witnesses , never less than twelve ; then
perhaps a few friends might bo moved to
speak , but if not silent worship was resumed -
sumed as calmly as if nothing of impor
tance had just taken place.
Fox never lost an opportunity of im
pressing on his followers the importance
of having marriages duly witnessed and
registered , for very early in the history
of the society an event occurred which
showed the necessity of these details.
In England , unless the parents have
married according to law , the children
are , as everybody knows , illegitimate.
The primitive quukers were in rather an
awkward lix , for their consciences would
not allow them lo bo married at church ,
and there was in these days no by-wavs
to matrimony via a register's ollice.
I'Yoin about the year 1050 they had taken
each other in the manner described , uud ,
lest questions should arise , they had been
studious that the certificates should be
largely signed. Some of the certificates
arc still in existences , and frequently bear
the signatures of thirty or more witnesses.
Still , the validity of the ceremony was
coiistanlly denied. The legality of these
marriages was set at rest forever in 1003
by a case tried at Nottingham.
A Gypsy Wedding.
Brooklyn Magazine : 1'ow things arc
moro simple than u marriage ceremony
among the gypsies , and a ( Inscription of u
wedding as recently witnessed by the
writer will not , wo believe , proves unin-
terestiutr. There were moro than a score
ot tents at the encampment , whore wo
were temporary guests , and at the open
ing of ouch a fire was burning , crackling
and blazing uway as early as six o'clock
In the morninc of tlm day which was to
witness the marriage of one of the favor
ite young girls of tno camp. QAn hour af
terward ami an old gypsy man with nil-
very hair and bronzed , wrinkled face ,
with but 0110 eye , stopped on a little
mound and began pluying 11 violin , which
had but two strings on it. The player's
ouening piece was the well-known tune ,
"Hasto to the Wedding , " to which the
younger gypsies were soon dancing with
great hilarity. While Homes of the older
women were watching the elancers , others
wesro engaged in culinary preparations.
At the opening of one of the touts stood
the swarthy-looking masculine gypsy
chief , witli his hands in his pockets , stead
fastly gazing upon the dancers. At a
given signal from the chief , the musio
and dancing ocasod , Two rows of gyp
sies , with about twelve or fifteen in each
row , wore formed , standing face to face ,
being between four ami six foot apart.
Halt way down between these rows two
gypsies held up a broomstick about eigh
teen inches above the ground. All being
thus far in readiness , the chief called out
the nanm of the bridegroom , who was u
very handsome gypsy man about twenty-
two years of ago. His hair and eyes
were very dark , uud tliu conformation of
his fuco strongly indicated the race to
which ho belonged. Ho wore an olive-
colored velveteen coat , red waistcoat ,
nnd u glaring-colored handkerchief round
his ncok. In person , lie was tall , muscu
lar , and well made. In obcdlonco to the
chiefs command ho came from a tent at
onosidaof the encampment , walked between -
twoen the rows of gypsies , stepped ever
the broomstick , turned round , and then
stood with his arms akimbo waiting the
arrival of his intended wife. Tito chief
then. called out the name of the bride ,
who canio from u tiint at the opposite
side of the encampment. She was about
nineteen years < ? f ago , rather short of
stnturu , apparently of a healthy nnd
hardy constitution , while the pearly lu tro

seemed to identify her with the purest
remmint of the jrypsy race. She also
wal keel between the two rows ol gyp
sies , tripped very lightly over the broom
stick , which she had no sooner done than
the young gypsy man , in the most acntlo
and gallant manner imaginable , took her
in his arms , and completed the ceremony
by giving Ins new-made wife some of the
loudest kisses we ever heard in our lifo.
Then the music and dancing were re
sumed ; the whole of the members of the
encampment had suspended business ;
preparations for a good feast were going
on ; every face looked bright , and everv
heart seemed joyous. The men smoked ,
the women talked volumes , the children
shoufed and frollicked , the old horses
graxed by the side of the banks , the don
keys nibbled their coarse food with a
hcjf-satislicd air , and looked as if con
scious they wore to have that day's respite
from their weary toils ; oven the two or
tht co dogs that were there wagered their
tails , as If iu anticipation ofan extra
feed or of better ami a larger quantity of
rations than usual , even" without the
trouble of having to hunt before any
