ceptible and audible expression OF admira-

in q very elegant costume of olive green
velvet trimmed with massive cords and
braids OF silver. The skirt wal gathered
full at the waist and h erich train OF plush
was without a single break. On either side
and to the 'front.' were up and down stripes
Of ecru Etruscan silk lace, the only trim

was used to edge the square neck, for epau-

elbow and down the front OF the bodice, on
either side OF the fastenings: Her right
