COURT AND FASHION.

Yesterday was the period fixed upon for the departure
of the court from the Castle to Claremont.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge, Prince George, and the Princess IN

accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Frederick of
Hesse, and atended by the Lady in Waiting of the Duchess
of Cambridge, and Mr. Edmund Mildmay, have been on
a visit to Her Majesty.
The whole of the servants left the Pavilion, at Brigh-
ton, on Monday. and everything has been removed from
the interior, but the outside has been painted and re-
paired, as if it were not intended to destroy the building.

AN ANECDOTE OF WINDSOR C A STLE.—Wheli the Prin-
cess Helena was born, it is said that the Princess Royal
on hearing that she was now blessed with another little
sister, exclaimed with the most charming simplicity,
" Oh, how delighted lam! do let me go and tell rn E. I "

Tim QIT ENISILTIIC24 D, n Doo. -Somo time ago a fine
dog of the Mount St. Bernard breed was presented to her
Majesty by the King of the French, and whilst fondling
it in the private kennel at Windsor, it bit her in the right
arm, causing the blood to flow. Since then, the animal,
which has always evinced a ferocious disposition, has been
kept in confinement at the Zoological Gardens.

BRILLIANT DRESS FOR LADIES.—A new invention,
presented to a Paris institution last Saturday week, has
made some noise. It is the solution of the great difficulty
of gilding silken stuffs without deteriorating the material.
Specimens, both plain and figured, were handed round ;
so we may expect the utmost splendour in the costume of
our ladies this winter. It is impossible to imagine the
dazzling effect of the gilding upon satin.
Two entirely new, and somewhat novel, departments
have just been added to the household establishment of
the Sovereign. One is called " The Millinery and Dress-
making," and the other the " Artificial Florist Depart-
ment." Two female Parisian artistes have been im-
ported to superintend the former, so that the dresses, &c.,
of her Majesty may be " made-up at home." The arti-
ficial flower-making has been in great request during the
festive season at Windsor Castle, in making bouquets for
her,Majesty and the infant Princesses, and ornamented
nosegays for the royal table. It is considered that, by
these new arrangements, a great saving will be effected in
the expenditure of the Queen.
