Bright Colours

Royal Blue, that bright colour which is even stronger in blue than either sapphire or "marine," was worn by several guests at the marriage of Lord Carew and Lady Sylvia Maitland in St. Margaret's, Westminster, yesterday.

Lady Landerdale wore it in chiffon and crepe, with a large flat straw hat in the same colour, the loosely draped coat trimmed with—smoke-grey fox. Lady Carew wore it in a slightly darker shade, with a bouquet of lilies of the valley.

Princess Vigo of Denmark, who mingled with the many guests entering the north door at the same time, was in black with a bright blue sac coat and blue hat.

Lady Sylvia's wedding dress in gold brocade was in a design of Scottish thistles, with their full feathery flowers and long graceful thin leaves.

Hand in hand, the twin pages walked up the aisle in front of the six little girls in white and gold organdie, the boys glancing down now and then with pride at their miniature swords, worn with the scarlet jackets of the 19th century uniforms.
