EACH A BRIDESMAID'S TOILET, AND . SHE WANTS A MASK BALL SO SHE CANWear Them All in One ' Night—She •Has Been Maid at Five Weddings.If Miss Alice Roosevelt has her own way-arid she generally * Hoes—there will- be ‘ a masked ball of-- the younger folk when the gray days of Lent hare •passed, says the New York Press;• Her reason for seeking to hare such a festivity arranged is wholly logical from a feminine,'viewpoint. Simply, she has five bridesmaid's gowns laid away'after only one .wearing apiece, and'she- deplbres the idea she must not show them in public again! . .Of course, It would be contrary .to, social usage for her to don any of them for another wedding of a girl friend! But a masked ball is different. /-She might even make several changes of costumes at the ball, appearing first as ' the -Pink Wedding Girl, then the Green-and-White Wedding Girl, and !so on. ’ ,When Miss Roosevelt was maid of honor for Miss Elsie Whelen, when that young, beauty became Mrs. Rob-' ert Gpelet, her gown was of pale pink silk tissue, with fine rosebuds embroidered all. over.'it. The hat - was of similar fabric,'with long .soft. plumes of white shading into, pink. - -Soon after that Miss Alice - Was bridesmaid for Miss . Helen Astor Roosevelt, who was married to Theodore Douglass Robinson. The bridesmaid’s costume then was white liberty ‘silk, with trailing garlands of white rosebuds and a poke bonnet of tulle, tied with long white streamers.* ’ Later Miss Alice was one of the train of maidens who attended Miss Madeline Jackson of Boston at her marriage to George C. Lee, Jr., of Brookline.Again, the president’s daughter was bridesmaid for one of the Pruyns of Albany.' \Her latest - appearance .was at the marriage, of . .Miss Eleanor. Roosevelt to Frank Delano Roosevelt. By -the way,, this young couple-will be entertained in the white IiouseJ in Easter week.. •- ’ ' ‘ -INU.L CC P.
