tanning pedal enables the player TO pro-

elastic touch that all gradations,
from the most subdued whisper to
the greatest fortssim0 passage, can
be- accomplished with fine effect.v

gift handsomely embossed and massive

candlesticks, inolOsed in morocco and

GLIMPSE OF THE TROUssEAU.
Il The troJlsse0u of the royal bride, as one
might naturally expect, is very
elaborate and includes the pro-
ducts Of many looms. One of the
most notable garments In the outfit is the
result of an attempt to copy wonderful
old piece of brocade from a fragment in
the FlOrentine Museum. The ground is a
kind Of maize in color, and the rich pat
tern stands out in shade not unlike that
of mahogany enriched by years and rub
hing. 1t is a gown Catherine de Medicis
herself might have been glad to wear.
One of the costumes is Of fine tweed
shaded into small checks, and made up
with lovely tricOtee silk shaded to match.
The bodice is quite new, with a triangu-
lar vest bordered with small graduated
revers OF the silk, which forms a roleau
collar at the back, and from the point
where the vest terminates the fastening
! 5s carried diagonally. The skirt is quite
original in its arrangement and is formed
by broad plata of the tweed alternating
with folds Of the silk finely gagged at the
waist, and again a little lower down.
This 0auses them TO fall naturally into
the form Of killings, which show be-
tween the folds of tweed. The upper
drapery is caught high on the left hip and
fofded toward the right side, and forms
Very eracetU hops behind. A natty little
Jacket Tor outdoor wear, and an elegantly
folded tOque go with this costume. An
other Of9tde' eOVns is brown tweed with
red and cream threads intermngled. The
polonaise bodice is fastened transyersely
from the left shoulder by very handsome
hand painted buttons. TIE rather long
front drspery is disposed diag0nally over
plain skirt, and the back is finished of
bV boufant loops. This is intended as an
ordinary travelling and walking dress.
One of the most charming toilets is
suitable for tennis or for "a garden party.
This is kind OF cream matelasse. with
r stylish little bodice pointed in front
anu having Snort tOdb bhilS db bnr Hdch.
There Is a turQuO ise-t tinted vest finished
of on each side with graduated revers
OF the cream material, with buttOnhOles
down the left side, and very handsome
carved mother-Ot-pearl buttons on the
right. This gives the idea that the
bodice can he buttOned over the vest at
pleasure. Some OF the broad box plaits
in the front OF the skirt have the lower
corners turned up and faced with the blue,
and between them are seen tiny cream
killings which are carried all round the
back OF the skirt. The scarf drapery Is
rather bOufdHte behind, and the little ten
mis- hat made TO match is clever combt-
nation Of cream and blue. A palmer ten
mis- gown IL OF soft, thin cream flannel,
with a skirt arranged alternately in wide
plaits and fine killings, and Norfolk
jacket With lapels at the neck and a
waistbRnd.
Another gown Is brown tweed, with
kuOtted stripes OF red and cream running
through II. The long drapery Of the skirt
falls away right and lett In perpendicular
folds. both at back and front over plain
pettlcOat, and the short habit bodice has
a rundown collar, which allows wash
ing scarf 70 re seen below the linen collar.
II Is fastened down 10 the waist by very
small neat buttons.
A BEAUTIFUL dress for cold weather is Of
fine grenat cloth, with Ottoman elllS
panels, and graduated vest and cuffs 20
match. A marked feature Of the bodice
