PRINCESS TAKAMATSU.
Such a lot of people came on to the Berkeley after the last Court, writes a correspondent. Of course, we all knew which of the ladies present had just made their curtsey to the Queen, because some kept their feathers and veils on their heads, and those who had discarded the feathers still clung to the diamenle bandeaux to which these had been attached! Everyone was greately interested in the appearance at Court of the Japanese Princess Takamatsu, who wears the most attractive European clothes without the awkwardness of the average Japanese woman. The gown she wore at the Palace was a gorgeous creation of silver lame which suited her exotic beauty admirably. I hear it was designed and made for her by the Queen’s own dressmaker. It was a clever idea to make this , gown rather elaborate, for Japanese women lose their charm in simple clothes—the silver doth was lavishly embroidered with pearls, crystal, and silver, forming a design of large lotus flowers and foliage.
