one Of the most complete and gor-

and this she has spent thousands upon, so that
every piece is covered with cascades of the
most exquisite webs from all parts of Europe
where lace is made. She has fancy for white
underclothes, too, and nearly every garment is
of the snowiest null or silk, the only color
being from the narrow ribbons run through
the laces, and in many instances the ribbons
are white also. Her bridal garments are of
white India silk, trimmed with the most
beautiful Irish point, and this same point trims
one of the few tinted sets in the trousseau, one
of pale lemon color, which also includes silk
pettieoat and satin corset The bridal stockings
are of white silk, embroidered with silver
thread, and there are other pairs of white
stocking sembroidered with gold and different
colors. This is a new fashion, introduced by
Miss Mccormick, who likes white stockings as
well as white underclothes, and who sent direc-
tions with her order to Paris that instead of
sending stockings of a color to match each
costume they should be white, embroidered
with silks the shade of the dress. Her opera
cloak for this winter is a heavy white silk,
embroidered with gold and lined from top to
toe with the long, silken hair of the Persian
lamb.
