Queen Mary sent a silver cigarette case, with lighter, as a wedding gift to Prince Vsevolode, of Russia, and Lady Mary Lygon, whose marriage took place at the Russian Church in London recently. The Duke and Duchess of Kent’s present was a silver casserole, while Princess Helene of Russia gave the bride a magnificent bracelet of pearls—diamond and sapphires on white gold—a double bracelet of diamonds, a bracelet set with aquamarines, rubies, and rose diamonds, two amethyst and gold clips with a gold bracelet band, diamond earrings, sapphire and diamond earrings, and a solitaire diamond ring. Nowadays the Duchess of Kent has abandoned her piled-up Edwardian hair-dressing for the latest Regency curls. At her favourite Bond Street salon the Duchess has had her gleaming, chestnut-brown hair entirely restyled with a centre parting and two soft, loose curls on each temple, the hair being brushed back to leave her ears bare—for the Duchess likes to wear' ear-rings, and has some lovely ones in turquoise and diamonds. A single row of soft little curls at the bacs of her head gives the most becoming finish. The coiffure promises to be a spring favourite both in Mayfair and Paris, for its simple and very feminine and charming, with those smart, tilted hats that we shall all be wearing soon. In Regency days, too, women wore bonnets with their pretty curls, and it is said that some of the newest models are being created on the same lines with deep, peaked crown. - ■ =3
