Grace, the Duke CT Buckingham, was mar
ried to Miss Montgomery, eldest daughter
of Sir Graham Montgomery. The bride |
groom was born the same year his new
father-in-law was, and is twenty-five years
older than the bride. That, however, is
nohody's business. Least of all is 1t ours,

clothes The wedding was in St Peters
Church, Eaton Square, London. The Brit

was trimmed with rare old Flemish
point lace lOoped up with natural orange
flowers. The veil, 700, was OF ancient and
precious point lace, and was fastened with
a spray Of diamond lilies, which the brides
mother gave her. The young lady's Jew

mixed, inasmuch as we read that she wore
a pearl necklace and diamond and ruby
bracelet. Now you know how a dukes

The bridegroom made each present OF a
blue enameled brooch set in pearls, and
having on it her monogram set IN pure
white diamonds" Those Americans who
are diving to ape the British aristOclacy will
please make note that this sort OF present
is the proper thing for the bridegroom to
give each bridesmaid, and that there must
be about half Westinghouse full of these
young ladies. The bridesmaids at this
wedding wore bonnets of blue velvet
trimmed with shaded wings London

ARTISTIC WORK IN EAR.
The -Dressers' Association in Paris,
called by know not what grandilOquent
titles, is gradually creating kindred insti-
buttons on this side Of the water. Soirees
conducted on the most aristocratiC lines are
held periodically in London, at which ar
astic competitions take place, and gold and
silver medals are awarded. 1t is already
Becoming a common thing when you sit
down to have your hair cut in some semi

whirfing around your head is the holder of

FASHION NOTES,
New designs in pocket handkerchief
have rose-Colored blocks, on each OF which
is delicately embroidered spray IN white.
Others have garlands Of flowers in the
natural cOlOrs.
Fans are as large, the tendency is for
them to be larger. Feathers are used in
every shade and kind. One of marabout
feathers has very elegant pearl sticks
mounted in silver.
Full skirts with straight breadths, worn
with plain, round waists, are struggling
desperately for 4 foothold again. 1t re-
mains TO be seen whether they will sue
coed. 1t has been nearly twenty years
since they were the mode and they look
very odd now.
Jackets for very young boys have basques
much cut UP and OF various shapes, usually
trimmed with buttons. The most stylish
model is a Jacket closing by single button
and showing the vest. The trousers are
fastened above the knee by three buttons or
by band of goods and buckle.
In the cut and make Of frocks for girls, il
IS not likely that the princess styles w1H be
displaced, but some old forms Will be re
Yived The yokcd waist IS attached to mod
eratelv full-tucked skirts, and the single
skirt with hem and tucks, instead Of the
draperied overskirt and polonaise,
Thfn materials for evening parties mot
balls) are invariably made up with high
neck ana long Stb-hNo OFfA a OOAa1S 4AiA-ils,
cut low, OF else pointed front ana back
with the merest rudiment of sleeve. The
black lace and jet-embrodered net has
often a lining of white tulle, which Is
exceedingly becoming to compilations
having 100 much color, while for pale
persons delicate pink tule Is wonderful
improvement
A pretty Princesse dress for d young girl
IS made of blue cashmere, edged with
wide box-plaited flounce, headed by two
rows of soutache braid. The front is seam
less and the dress IS buttoned up the back.
A full scarf drapery of embroidered cash
mere is fastened behind, just below the
waist line and is much pulled and falls
behind to the middle Of the iounCe The
collar and sleeves are trimmed with the
soutache braid.
The costumes for tennis and skating are
made with very light urapeTy, but with
more fullness than other skirts. Their
weight keeps them in place. Plain lady's
cloth is a flvorite material. A pretty style
IL to tuck the skirt from the hem 70 the
waist, placing band Of fur, astrakhan or
rough plush, over the hem. The basque is
short and round on the hip and has
broad band Of fur around it. Fur vests are
seen on skating costumes.
There never was a time that we remem-
Der when metals were so worked into dress
trimmings as they are at present. Gold,
zilver and steel fabrics in every shape are
used as ornaments and drapery. The hand
soonest and most brilliant Of these metallic
effects is produced by drapery. There is a
thin fabric or yelling into which the
metal threads are woven till the transpar-
ent cloth has q sheen that is understandable.
II is called gold and silver tissue. A piece
of il thrown about the head and shoulders
like scarf or tastefully disposed about the
dress gives an effect like the moonlight of
a midsummer nights dream. All these
tissues, gold, silver and steel, are much used
for making waists that so with velvet and
brocade skirts for evening and reception
dresses. The same flashing, exquisite ma
teriaI is made into panels upon the skirt.
