The girl from California , with her feet on the fender , a frown on her brow nml n sort of Dcflarallon of Independence note In her otherwise smooth nml agreeable voice , was condemn ing the new wnttenii skirt with winged words. ' 'Say what yon plrace , my ifenr htftess , I think It a tyrnnnlral Imposition ; It Is not be coming , It Is henvy , nwkward and dldlcnlt to manage , nnd besides the fashions shall not bully me.

"It Is on the wide alternately of the pleated or gathered back of course , pleats for wool goods , gathers for silk , cotton , etc. , and In my judgment the bolero Jacket is > going to descend upon us llku a a\vurm of seven-year locusts.

The only * refuge for the economically Inclined woman IS khaki brown cloth and you know that Is not always becoming. "The sweetest harbinger of spring I Haw this very afternoon and made for a Washington woman to wear at the I'aunce- fete wedding. 'It was a cloth having a high surface llnlsh and of the tone known as flax blue. The pattern was prlncesse with very narrow box pleats laid far apart and running from the bust down well over the hips in front. Heaviest cream tinted but ton hole twist was used fo stlth Hat the edges of the pleats and In the rear these folds extended from shoulder blades well upon the skirt. A yoke filled in the top of the. waist , a. yoke of bine overlaid with the heaviest cream Russian lace , and hack from It rolled upon bust and shoulders one round continuous' kerchief rover , Its border stitched like the pleats. A llttlo to the left side this delectable garment fastened with a bow made of a fringed cream liberty satin scarf , assisted by a trio of white buttons enameled In blue. "Of course , when I was for n moment left nlono with that dress I did what any woman under a similar temptation would have done , I examined It mlmitolv and then on a leaf of my address book I took down a sketch of It and hurried away to the woman who docs for mo and ordered Its replica In Florentine cloth of a good sturdy khaki brown , since mluo must bo a gown for more than mcro house occasions.

"Really , the drcssmakcra are quite daft over the pleating of skirts and will actually run the lurking round and round from the waist , to well bulow 'the ' hips , while the lower half of the skirt Is completely tucked on perpendicular lines. I've seen -some wonders done with the corkscrew luck and others with tucked panels. However , this Is allowing our muttoiii to grow rold nnd 1 must hasten lo nay that the waist of tills frock was tucl.-cd closely up and down and showed three overlapping rovers upon the shoulders.

She wore an Kton jacket of the darkest blue goods strapped with tlio llghlcr-loned material and this opened with broad rovers upon the bust to show the sweetest llttlo shirt of coarsest cream renaissance lace draped over tafTeta.

" "I am awfully sorry you hurt yourself , " he said , "but I don't eae why It should cost me $50. " "Because I need it to get that gown I spoke to you about , " she explained. "Oho !

A resourceful woman can profit oveu by her misfortune. CMIMSK DetulU of mi Oriental Murrliiue Kiiiiftliiu In riillutU'lphln , Philadelphia recently witnessed a gorgeous Oriental wedding ceremony. For the first time In the history of the Presbyterian church , pcchupa , a Cbltieue couple were united In wfdlock to the magnificent strains of Wagner's "Lohengrin , " It was all so gtrango aud yet BO realistic. But when at last Hcv. Dr. J. Mervln Eckels had pro- nounced the benediction , when Wong John and Miss I > e Qul N'Oun were one , not n single guest of the , thousand who wore pres ent In the Arch Street Presbyterian church dissented from the opinion that n morn graceful bride never stepped bc-foro the altar. The marriage of Wong John nnd his San Francisco bride was ect for S o'clock. But. when Ihe squad of police arrived , detailed to kec-p traffic open on the- street , the side walks were already filled with curious spec tators. Captain of Detectives Miller wii.i conspicuous on the upper fctops of the church , and solidly the guests filed Into the edifice. Whenever a purple plcco of paste- boord wna displayed the holder gained en trance. Without this open sesame there was no admittance1. Hut It was within the structure , a church v.'llcli ; has seen scores of fashionable wed dings In Its lime , that real Interest centered , after all. A morn brilliant assemblage sn'dom graced n wedding ceremony. He- splendent In Its electric illumination Ihu famous old church seemed lo feel that the event About to transpire was not an ordi nary one. The make-up of the audience , unques tionably , was unique as few have been. Orlcnlallsm , and customs ot the Occident commingled In n manner to speak eloquently for themselves. The extensive fam ily of the Wongs , cousins and uncles nnd further removed , were assigned special pews , where n good view of the ceremonies might beobtained. . However , cvoii the Chinese circle was at variance ns to dress and appearance. Young men , faultlessly attired In evening drcsa , but with the Mongolian cast of countenance , rubbed , elbows AS 1th these of Ihclr own race who as yet held lo the odd , hut picturesque , garments of the land of I.I Hung Chang. Some had the proverbial queiio very much In evidence. Others had employed this feu- lure otherwise and curled it gracefully around the head , Then the women of the race. Trues but a few of the Chinese ladles were In attend ance , hut what they lacked In number was juatlo up.In plcturcaqueness. The organ now pealed forth Ha melody. The augmented choir of Ihe church , under the direction of Mr. MaeGlbboncy , filled the structure with song. A hush settled over th ? assemblage. It was realized that thq momentous hour had arrived. It was now that the unexpected happqned. Gracefully entering the southern doorway , n dainty llltle woman In modern drcu-s and leaning ; on the arm of another walked up the aisle. The magnificent bunch of whlto roses nestling against her corsage made a striking contrast to the brown colored tallor- rctde gown. Her hat was a picture of the milliner's art. It was Miss Lee Qul N'Gun. not arrayed In silks and satins of the Orient , but quietly , tastefully dressed In the fashion a' Iho day. And the groom ? Immediately following Mif-s Qul and her companion cacnc Wong Jonn , not perturbed by the scrutinizing glances , and conscious to the full that ho had a serious part to perform. More than ordinarily good-looking , Wong John might well consider himself the conspicuous object. KTON JACKETS AGAIN , u&ldo from the Interest which centered In the bride. For Miss Lee Qui N'Gun , after all , was the attraction. When the bridal party reached the altar Rev. Dr. Eckels stood ready to receive them. In a few preliminary remarks ho addressed the audience in explanation of the unique event. Ho told once more Ihe alory ot Wong John's wooing , how correspondence und photographs had been exchanged , how Wong John's Sunday school teacher and Iho Golden Gate mission school had been concerned , The riles of Iho Presbyterian church were performed , and when ttio couple walked up the church alslo a more outspoken apprecia tion than before could scarcely bo sup pressed. z In Iho lecture room of the church a recep tion was hold Immediately following the ceremonies. Hero Wong John and his hand some , blushing wife received congratula tions. Beautiful decorations abounded , the Chinese colors mingling with these of thn United States , The wedding repast was un excelled. The reception continued for several hours. When It was all over Mr. and Mrs , Wong John drove to their South street home , where the first Christianized Chinese couple In the city will reside. MODISH .MATimiOXV.
