One of the. most attractive wed dings of the season took place yester day afternoon at 6 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Woods, on Wrightsville avenue, when their daughter. Miss Neenah Fay Woods, be came the bride of Kenneth Brinkman Swain. The home was artistically dec orated with Southern Smilax and cut flowers, carrying out the color scheme of pink and white. Miss Mabel Wool ard rendered several selections prior to the ceremony, which was perform ed by Rev. J. Oscar Mann, pastor - of the ( .arch of the Covenant. The bridesmaids Misses Hattie Hodge - of Mebane. and Amelia Swain, were gown ed in blue Georgette over satin, and carried pink carnations. The dame. of honor, Mrs." E. Freeman Pittman, wore a dress of white Georgette carrying white roses. The maid of honor. Miss Madge Woods, looked most charming in a costume of pink Georgette over Pink satin, and carried pink KiUarney roses. Little Miss Nancy Albright, a cousin of the bride, was the ,ring bear er, and was dressed in white net over white satin. The bride, who is one of Wilmington's most charming young women, was becomingly gowned in a Tlue silvertone coat suit with acces sories to match, carrying a shower bou- miei oi orchids and Brides roses. Im-1 mediately after the ceremony a re ception was held, after which Mr. and Mrs, Swain left on the 7:10 train for Honda. The groom was formerly of outhport, but for the past few months has made his home in this city, where he is connected with the Carolina Ship building corporation. v - t ' r - x ' eighteenth century evening frock vof pink atln, with short skirt, a tight girdle for a bodice; and cap" sleeves Of tulle. Two full flounces of tulle . at each side and pink roses used to trim s:irt.' ';, Dress Hints By 'ANNE RITTENHOUSE ; I1 'II iiniimi of tulle makes a gc wn that carries one - agreeably back tj an ancient and eastern fashion.; Holding Tulle With Roses ' It may be that, the spring season will p. oduce a freer use of : flowers, for we have a habit of letting a Paris fashion gather strength ; for. a , year before we accept it;. and although we now use roses in small "garlands there is just a chance they will grow in size and deyelop into elongated Grecian garlands.' . ,v, At the moment i'is the lyoung girl who exploits the flower idea to better advantage than ihe matron. The Christmas-holidays gave one an: ex cellent opportunity, to see the beat fashions for :.the young, as- in every city there was gayety unbounded and the .older Tet:" were compelled to realize-that the "time had come when, sirls of sixteen . were r sanctioned by sociel." to dine at smart restaurants,' to go toH the play with the.youngest-of mar ried couples, as chaperons, and to drift to ne or two balls'; juntil tw.o o'clock in the morning. , .'. . : It was these ' youngsters " who wore the rose f rbeks The ske"tch-shows, a schoolgirl's gown that could he copied for a woman who 'is oVer twenlyand who, . perhaps, v looks thirty- close in the face. .- -- v'.- ' . It" is of flesh pink satin, this frock, and it is: garlar.ded .with roles and draped with tulle In a manner strong ly suggestive of i that frivolous anc brilliant '- period v which ended the eighteenth, century. The skirt is quite short,,; th;e 'bodice is only a tight girdle, the small cap sleeves are of pink tulle, and the girdle is of Nattier blue vel vet ribbon tied; in back ; ,witb long, flickering strings. . The tulle is used in ; two full , flounces, at side of skirt to give that flat but wide silhouette recently "adopted from Spain. . , The roses are everywhere on the skirt, carelessly posed wherever there, is a piece " of material . to 'hold them The petals ; are loose and the flowers themselves y are so exquisitely fash ioned that they seem tcj have been freshly picked in a garden. (Copyright 1920, Mc Clare Newspaper -. Syndicate.) It I an Eighteenth Century Idea to i Throw Roses Over the Surface of Clothes, and the Fashion Has Come Back With Many Others That Be ' " longed to the Gay and Frivolous Court of Versailles. France took ; many of her fashions of the eighteenth' anc" nineteenth cen turies from the brilliant periods of life that " had belonged to other cen turies in earlier days. ' Probably . the flirst part of the nineteenth century was most prolific in the outpouring of national . . cos turners taken from European countries wheee Napole4n,Iuiditrod; but In the last part of the" "-eighteenth century LOCAL SANITARIUM P IS WELL EQUIPPED St. John's Provided With Most Modern Equipment Recently imnrowements have been made at St.' John's Sanitarium, cornel Fifth and Orange streets, so that the institution ; is now prepared to acco modate several sccore- patients. Dr. J. F. Miller, and J. T. Hoggard, who operate the sanitarium, are well pleas ed with the building and improvements made and expect to give excellent service. . , ' . Although the sanitarium ; has only been in - operation tor a few months, Drs. Miller and ; Hoggard report that they have accommodated may patients. Both Dr. Hoggard and Dr.' Miller are well known .in the city and prior; to engaging Hn their present business . enioveed .a laree tpractice. They "are the - dressmakers found pleasure In considered among the leaders in their going - hot only - to Greece and "Rome profession. . ' " " ' '. The sanitarium has about twenty for their inspiration, but also back. to the pompous and romantic periods of Italian "and French v history. ' ' ': The bunching up of clothes with ribbons, the throwing of garlands of flowers across the body which' we call fashions of the late elghteenfn cen tury, were really snatched ,' out of early Grecian history. f The ancient and civilized : cities considered gar lands of roses as symbolic of gayety, luxury and victory. .This Idea has been firmly embedded in Asiatic minds for over two thousand years and It crept upward through Greece and Rome into France, Italy and England.: How Used Today Undoubtedly this ancient method of expressing victorious joyy was present In the mind of the French designers during Peace ; Summer , and it i was the reason behind the fashion for roses that made the fashion conopicuous at the large' Paris ; houses .'.hat gave- ex hibitions of clothes to Americans. The house of Che ru it,, as you may remember, ; exploited a mora - extreme method of using roses than any cfher house. Natural flowers were pre served . by some process, .then em broidered to the ' fabric . with ' gold threads. Cheruit tnade entire evening gowns of roses mounted on tulle or silver cloth; Callot threw roses over tulle, splashed them down the length of , trains on wedding gowns; Doucet looped up pannfers of tulle with gar- lands of colored roses that dropped In streamers to the r.nkles. One finally wondered why the bodU i of roses was mot .brought back into fashion. Perhaps it will be attempted soon by some daring individual.
