MISS MAoKAY's rRossEAU.
A Rich but Simple Wedding Dress-Some
of the Presents.

The trosseau Of Miss Mackay mas peeh
shown to very few persons, but Tor
beauty of material, elegance OF design,
and perfect fitness and appropriateness
ia It's future wearer has seldom been APP
nroached In the annals OF Partisan toilet.
To begin with the cloaks and wraps OF
various kinds, Ge signalize first a long
cloak in sealskin, linedthroughouE with
the white, silky fleece of the Astrak-
han sheep. Another in the same style
is in dark, stamped velvet, figured with
colorod roses and lined throughout
with cbaudron satin. A third is in seal
brown plush, lined with satin OF the
same hue, but OF a lighter shade. But
we speedily desert the clOaks and
wraps In favor Ofthe toilets which are as
lovely as they are numerous, The we'd
ding dress itself is noticeable for its
simplicity no less than for its richness.
1t is in heavy Ivory white satin, en-
broidered with pure white silk, with
bands Of orange blossoms. The skirt
is made with Il draped front and a long
train, the later bOTdered with this en-
brodery, and the skirt front is finished
with fringe OF orange blossoms and
buds, and is caught up at one side with
spray Of the same flowers, \ cluster OF
which closes tho corsago al the throat.
The COrsage itself is finished down the
from with an embroidered band OF or
ange blossoms. A small diadom wreath
viii confine the vail Of tule. No Jewels
or lace will mar the simple richness of
the toilet. One of tho court dresses Is
cred with tho finest point Paiguillo,
| the underskirt and train elm formed
| Of ample draperies OF this exquisite lace,
| confined with white satin riUbO rs. The
coraage has a yestCcmpOsed Of the folds
| of the samO lace, Another court dress
is IN white faille, the skirt front being
| embroidered with marguirtes In white,
with conters Of silver beads. The train
is bordered witha band of the same
embroidery. A court dress Ia pale blue
faille has the skirt front also embroid-
cred In daisies, but in pale blue che
nile, the cOrsage being bOrdered with
daisies, and collar of the Same bios
SONS being arranged TO wear around tho
throat The daisy being tho homo
flower OF Queen Marguerite Of Italy, IL
is considered az special compliment to
her to introduce this blossom into the
trimmings aud decorations Of the toilets
to DO worn at her court. For the civil
marriage there has been proposed COS
tumo in electric gray ottomaue with a
skirt front and vest in Il passementerie
Of the same hue, enriched with beads.

vet dross and skirt front OF a slightly
