THE BRIDE'S GOWN,

According to latest British' exchanges, the bride's gown was to be a fairy-like robe of georgette, hand sewn with innumerable tiny pearl beads. Between widths of pearl embroidery are equidistant strands embroidered with straight edges executed in crystal and milkwhite bugles. The strands reach from the neck to the feet, with two circular strands at the waist, where an oval diamond ornament will be fastened. The robe is shaped to the figure. The train is of exquisitely woven brilliant silver tissue, lined with palest blue. No veil will be worn, and only a simple head dress—a narrow scarf of silver lace, ono end forming a Dutch cap\and the r.U.er falling lightly on the train—with .dainty clusters of white heather over the e&fs.
