I lowing: 1t was made of thiTty-eight
yards Of salmon cOlored satin, which
I cost So 30 per yard, o. q total Of S475.
This satin composed the underdreSs
and train, which was immense, and
+ finished ia scollOps at least finger
and ha,f deep, each one bound with
/ the same material. We begin Al the
end Of the train and describe upward
! to the waist. Black thread lGce-a
piece s yards long, 80 inches wide
I covered the wide fiOuncc. From the
/ top Of this most gorgeous finale, the
elaborate work Of the nl0diste began.
| This piece Of lace IS one of the finest
in the country, having been imported
at a cost Of three hundred dollars per
yard, or a total OF twC thousand four
hundred dollars From just above
/ this lace the tun.c o. tie dress made a
most magnificent display Of beautiful
| blendings Of rich fabrics, c0lOrs and
4 designs. The body OF J!ie tunic is of
white satin, OF which material fifteen
yards were used. It was in quadruple
/ folds and pleatingS, and each Of these
subdividcd into lapels OF white satin,
with reIiefs of salmOn-colOTed SATIN
Between each division was pyTa-
midal panel OF white Illusion, flOunc-
| ed Overlsalmon cOlored satin. Hooks
along the edges Of the partitioned tu-
mic held magnificent gold cords, and
from Ibis point were several pendant
| tassels Of massive work IN gold thread
and cord. The cOrsa9e was made of
white satin. pointed low both in front
and behind. It was filed with deli
cate Medici frills of fine fluted lace, or
petis>es, and fell very low off the shOul-
ders.
While an ordinary train measures
| 81 inches, this one measured S4. It's
owner made the circuit of the grand
! floor but once, and then so much ad-
mired was this truly magnificent robe
that it was given very wide space.
Twelve hundred yards of delicate
white Illusion, forty yards Of salmon
co1ored satin, fifteen yard, of white
satin, and eight yards Of thread lace,
were used in making this beautiful
p1ttern dress. 1t was made by an
American mOdistC, after designs by the
wearer, and is a trjumpn over all inn
ported costumes. If we add TO the
dress a wealth of dark brown hair,
deeOrted with EIizabejhan plume.

our lovely blonde carried ST5,OG0 in
her promenade around the floor, yet
scarcely knew the weight she bore or
the sensation she created.
