A foreign correspondent describes
rich dress worn by an American lady on
her presentation at Queen Victoria's
levee 'The dress is entirely composed
of rich white satin. The front of the
skirt is trimmed with wide chenille
fringe, with q heading of fine silver net,
and with bands Of large daisies and
green leaves in chenille embroidery. A
band of similar embroidery edges the
low corsage. The train is three yards
in length (the regulation length as pre-
acribed by etiquette) and is cut around
the edges into largescallops, At the up
per points OF each scallop is set daisy
with its leaves in chenille embroidery.
This train is laid in flat plaits on the
right shoulder and is clasped there by a
single large daisy, crossing the back OF
the corsage trangversely and being held
down at the left side of the waist by
another cluster Of daisies. This method
OF arranging the train is far more grace
full than were Vatican plaits. With this
dress was worn full set of diamonds,
comprising three bandeaux for the hair,
q necklacs Of fine single stones, solitaire
earrings and portebonhem bracelets,
The regulation three white feathers and
tulle vail completes this rich and TASTE
full toilet.
