RADIoALIsM's STRIDES.
Radicalism may have made great strides
in France, but it has not vet succeeded
in destroying the feeling Of pride in old
and honoTed names like those of LaTre-
noble and acknowledgements, which have
/ a grand and pleasant sound to a true-bOrn
! Frenchman,s ear, calling up memories of
valiant deeds in days of chivalry and

/ Joan d. Arc the glory of having defeated

brave acts of these grand old families Of
soldiers, are they not written In the MEM
| DRY Of proud and grateful people? So,
| this week, when the young Count de Ia
| RochetOucauld led MademOiselle de la
Tremoille to the altar, Paris looked on
with pride. All the grand monde was
! present at the ceremony, including the
Prince OF Wales, who had come to Paris
to be present at the marriage of Prince
Valdemar of Denmark to the Princess
Marie Of Orleans.
The latter great ceremony was cele-
brated on Thursday, at least the religious
part Of 1t. for marriage in France is Sc

first there is the civil ceremony to be gone
through, then, generally on the eve of
that day the signing of the contract of

a family gathering and takes place at
home, presided over by a notary, and
finally the religious ceremony, wherein
the finishing touch is put by the priest.
All this must the happy pair, royal or sim

Princess presents are numerous and
princely OF course, including splendid
riviere of diamonds, a bracelet of thirty
three diamonds of the finest water, and a
dog collar Of emeralds and diamonds. To
wear with this dog collar an especial
dress has been made, composed of green
tulle over satin OF the same color. aud or

flowers. All the tOilettes of the young
blonde bride have been composed under
the direction of her mother, who
has thought out all the details
and displayed great taste over
the labor of love. The select and
fortunate party of ladies who were admit

full gowns which the young princess will
take with her TO begin married life in,
were specially struck with the almost

which has lately been dIsiguring female
garb. The princess has perfect figure,
