Magnificent Costumes Prepared for
Miss Folsom I'm Paris


Miss Folsom's wedding trousseau, which
will soon reach New York, has for days
past been the talk OF Paris. The wedding
dress is q poem in ivory satin. The skirt
and corsa2e Of the marriage costume are
simple, but their simplicity is relieved by
a wealth of soft silk and Indian muslin
embroidered with orange blossoms at
tached 10 the left side of the skirt and
nearly meeting the court train, which is
over four yards in length. The train is
slightly rounded, and falls in two organ
pleats. Two delicate muslin scarfs, bor-
dered with orange blossoms, are dsintily
draped across the front of the corsage, and
crossing the corsage from left to right is
also q broad ceinture of satin fastened TO
the hip. The sleeves, which leave the
wrists and arms bare almost to the elbows,
nave three bands Of Indian muslin draped
on them, forming a plisse; while inside the
arms, near the elbows, the sleeves are
adorned with Tiny sprigs of orange bios
sons. The bridal veil is nearly seven yards
long, and is of plain white silk tulle, re-
lieved by myrtle and orange blossoms. 1t
is to be worn high on the head, and will
fall gracefully over the train, completely
covering it.

chosen a charming deep gray damage
simple dark gray silk petticoat. The
corsage opens so as to reveal a double
breasted waistooat, trimmed half way be-
tween the throat and the waist with
velvet, terminating at the top in a high
| collar, fastened by a coquettish gray velvet
bow. The waistooat is Frightened by
rows OF steel buttons, and the whole
costume is completed by q large gray hat
lined with velvet and trimmed with picot
| ribbon and ostrich feathers.
Among the many other exquisite CO.'S
tunes is a claret and cream striped wooden
dress, to be worn over a silk skirt bordered
with q deep band of claret velvet. The
,unic, which is short, is draped in pleats,
| high on one side and left loose on the
| other. The back Of the retrousse fsstens
| on to the long wasted body, showing a
claret velvet half WASTED and q dainty
| chemisette Of cream etamine tied al the
| threat with a narrow velvet ribbon.
One OF the prettiest of the visiting
| dresses is of myrtle green velvet. very
| simply cut, with a mantelet 10 match.
Most OF the ladies who have been per-
] mitted to inspect the trousseau, however,
I seem to prefer a delicate costume of pale
| heliotrope sicilienne. with black and white
pencil stripes. Some vowed they had
never seen anything more distractingly
| delightful than an afternoon dress of soft
brown bronze cashmere and crimson sicili-
enne.
Even more charming than the walking
| and visiting costumes are several evening
| dresses. There are dresses of all cuts and
| all colors-black, white, pink, blue, pur-

lace, embroidered with black jet oats on a
fsille Franchise train, is a fairy creation
all of jet, lace and bows.
As a contrast to this l may mention a
| dainty Louis XIV. toilette with a skirt Of
faded rose faille, trimmed in front with
cascades Of Malines lace and pink bows.
With this n short train on an overskirt,
with broad satin stripes spotted with tiny
embroidered rosebuds. The pointed bodice
ia cut square in front aud the elbow sleeves
are trimmed en- sabot. To complete the
costumes you have a pointed waistcoat
s~mothered in Malines, while the bodice is
a narrow f1ounce of real lace.
Last, but not least, come the ball dresses
proper, which will arouse much envy,
hatred and malice. One-a mystery IN
white faille-has an underskirt entirely
hidden by a net covered with white JeF
pearls and crystal beads. The train and
corsage are of the same materials, the cor
sage being cut low and round, and the
sleeveless shoulder straps are adorned with
bows. To end a long list OF wonders i'm
agine a short, pale blue tulle dress OF liza
phonous texture embroidered with silver
| daisies. Beneath this a petticoat OF pale
blue sicilienne. The delicate tuile is re-
lieved by a short pointed c~uirssse OF bro
esded silk, while to make the costume per-
feet Miss Folsom will deck her hair with
silver daisies and cornfiowers.
