Ty eye was OF course turned on the young Prince
who walked up rather rapidly, as if under some
slight excitement. His royal highness, who was
in Prussan uniform, and wore the order of the
black eagle, conducted to his seat on the right
side of the altar. Having knelt for a moment Mt
the altar he rose, and, turning to the left made
profound obeisance to her Majesty. The gentle

The bridal dress of the Princess Royal was COM

mented with three hOunces of Huuiton lace in
which beautiful material the lrincesses of the
Royal Family of England have on these occasions
invariably been dressed. The design fer the PI in

work, of the rose, shamrock and thistle, in three
medsilions, alike remarkable for chaste aud beau
ty. At the top of each founce, in front of the
dress, were wreaths OF orange and myrtle blossoms

eveSs wreath terminating with bouquets of the
flowers and the length of each being go grad
