London Florist Finds
| Brides Demand New
I Flower and Fancies.
Croon-Atlantic Correspondence of The Star.
' LONDON", November 11.?The autumn
' wedding: season is now in full swing
and reflects changes in the fashion in
weddings as marked as the line of a
skirt. A Bbnd street florist has dis.
covered brides demand a new flower:
/they are tired of the liarrissi lily.
"Water lilies recently proved demurely
picturesque. Bridesmaids' sheaves
have given place to the "Victorian
hunch" of multi-colored florets, although
there is a tendency to revive
the shower bouquet beloved of Queen
Alexandra.
To the bridegroom Is given the privilege
of providing bouquets for his
bride's attendants, as well as the
flowers she will carry. In the matter
of the ring, platinum for the wedding
ting has not found tlxe favor here
that it did in America. The plain'
gold band, narrow and rounded, takes
first place.
A discussion as to whether a bride
should go to the altar wearing her
engagement ring recalls the experience
of a pretty maid recently. She
tugged in vain to free the appointed
third finger, until, in desperation at
keeping the clergyman waiting, she
decided to have the (fold band placed
above her betrothal ring.
Next to the gowns come the church
decorations. Having chosen the
church, study the architecture and
lighting before dashing into schemes
of floral decoration. Tall paints in a
tall church devoid of pillars will not
be half as attractive as little bay
trees, dressed up with ripe oranges all
tied on to order. Dim light struggling
through stained glass windows will
spoil all the effect of blue delphiniums,
but would make all-white flowers
wonderfully mysterious. There is
a new passion just now for red blooms
in church decorations, often because
ttie bride is dark and elects to carry
crimson roses.
Col. Fauntleroy Guest
of Honor at Dinner
Col. Cedric E. Fauntleroy. the famous
aviator, for whom the minister of Poland
and Princess Lubcmirska entertained
at a notable dinner party
Wednesday evening, at the legation,
Whan the Secretary of War and Mrs.
Maker were among the guests, has had
very interesting career. He was born
in Louisiana, is about thirty years of
age, and his present home is in Chicago.
He was a member of the Lafayette
Eseadrillc of American volunteer avia
tors with the French Army before the
entry of America into the war, and a
major in the air forces of the American
expeditionary forces. He is now colonel
In the Polish Army, commanding the
Koacrdszko squadron.
The Kosciuszko squadron resembles
the Lafayette Kscadrille and was recruited
among the American aviators in
Paris after the armistice by Col. Fauntleroy.
The squadron went to Poland in
the spring of tS19 to fight with the Polish
army. The members of the squadron
are officers in the Polish army and
draw pay as such. Kvery member
has been decorated : Col. Fauntleroy has
received the highest honor which is in
the power of the Polish army to give.
Their excellent work in the-recent batrlea
with soviet Russia gained the distinction
of the first unit citation granted
by the Polish army. And its other exploits
are too numerous to mention. It
has suffered many losses, several having
been killed and many wounded. Col.
Fauntlerow being among those wounded.
Col. Fauntleroy is now in this country
op a leave from the Polish army at the
request of Herbert Hoover, who is using
him as a speaker in his drive for the
child feeding funds and general relief.
He will cover the entire United States j
In these tours and expects to be in j
Washington again soon. j
