IN WOMAN'S WORLD The Smart Set wedding, of course. Miss Alice Poorman, who will be the bride, is to wear white. But Lieutenant Hoyt, who will be the groom, is to wear the uniform of an officer ef the United States cavalry. This is a splendid and impressive costume. Blue cloth, braided with yellow, epaulets fringed with gold and gold laced across the coat.

An effect of yellow gold at the saber's hilt and a cap (removed for the ceremony shoeing the cavalry colors again with more gold. All the ushers will be similarly splendid, and the be-, man. Not that this splendor is extraordinary for a military marriage. Other grooms of the cavalry (bridegrooms, of cot.rse) have introduced like magnificence at weddings'. The unusual thing about the Poorman-Hoyt wedding be the insistent, brilliantly pervading yellow of the whole affair.

Yellow roses, gold of Ophir and gorgeous yellow jonquils; prirarses, gladioluses and marigolds, and whatever else in yellow Jure floriculture offers. Also yellow gowns for bridesmaids. This is the point at last: The cheerful sacrifice of Miss Poorman maids, at least one of them, who has never worn yellow before in her life and knows she will look her worst. It is sheer courage of her devotion to the bride. Deliberately she is doing what other girls have declined to do.

Some one asked Louise Blank if she was going to be one of Alice Poorman's bridesmaids, and she said: "Not for a minute. Can you see me in yellow? Which was a conclusive answer, in spite of interrogation. It might express the sentiment of any girl with ash blonde hair or certain shades of red in regard to yellow. have been tragedies of green at weddings, and vivid pink has had its victims. Bridesmaids are inured to these.

But yellow is so unusual and so altogether hopeless when it isn't becoming. Perfectly one understands Louise Blank, to wonderingly admire the girl who dares yellow for friendship. In notes sent yesterday to Uie friends of both young people the engagement announced of Miss Marion Miller and Bernard Ford, both prominent in the. younger circles of thie city. All plans for the wedding are indefinite and it will probably not take place for more than a year.

Four Personalities Joined in Marriage IF ONLY marriages could be contracted between two parties instead of four, how much more chance there would be for happy What do I mean? Let me answer your question yankeewise by asking if you have ever read what Oliver Wendell Holmes says about the confusion and misapprehension which are likely to occur among the six, when any two people are talking together.

The "breakfast table" was as startled at his statement as you were at mine, and he hastened prov-c his sanity by explaining that these six personalities were: 1. The real John; known only to 3. Thomas' ideal John; never the real John, nor John's John, but often very unlike either. 1. The real Thomas.

Three Thomases: 2. Thomas' ideal Thomas. 3. John's ideal Thomas. Now I think that the four personalities which join in every marriage contract are: (1) The real woman; (2) the woman the man expects to marry; (3) the real man; (4) the man the woman expects to marry.

For instance, two young people who have been living for some months in the glamorous Maytime of engaged life, finally take their marriage By her hopes anil dreams, and by the glamor of engaged life, she has been led to think she is marrying A being whose greatest delight, will always be to listen to her woes aivi tribulations and comfort her. A man who will never tire of telling her how much sweeter and more desirable she is than any other woman in the world. A man who will always consider her caresses and her approval the greatest happiness on earth, and her society the most blissful excitement. A proxy money maker who will remove all necessity for her ever worrying any more about things financial. The man on the other hand has no doubt that the dutmil creature he is swearing to cherish I A woman who will always admire him above all other men, no matter how commonplace he may really be; who will see him tall, though he i-j short; handsome, though he is ugly; clever, though he is the most stupid of mankind.

A listener who will be always eager to hear him talk about himself A housewife whose highest earthly ambition will be to have his food prepared just the way he likes it and keep him in every way comfortable. A manager who will make his income cover the needs of two a little more easily than it compassed the needs of one. And when you consider that after all, he is marrying an average woman md she an ordinary man, is it not strange that these four personalities do not come to grief more often?
