THE WEDDING DREBS.
In history, fairv story, and romance —it matters not—next in importance to the royal bethrothal comes the selection of the royal marriage robes—silk, flowered taffeta, and pompadour. Long ago Hans Andersen told ns how hard it was in all matters connected with the wardrobe, to satisfy a Princess of the Royal blood. His little Princess, in that well known, ineffable tale, could not sloop one wink, since under her mattresses was placed a single pea! And so our own Princess, whose betrothal to Viscount Lascelles, a British soldier, has given so much pleasure to the lieges, is living np to_ Royal tradition in choosing her wedding trousseau with proper care. This trousseau, to a great- extent, will he supplied by an English lirm; and in this Princess Mary will be following the precedent of many other Princesses of the Royal House One thing is certain —that the English and very distinct stvle in dress is particularly suited to Englishwomen; and Princess Mary, being of an unquestionably English type, will thus set an example which all Englishwomen would do well to follow.
