THE wedding of Grand Duke Peter of Russia,
the youngest brother of the emperor, with
Princess Militia of Montenegro will be cele-
brated with great pomp at Peterhof. The en-
press has decided to present TO the bride
magnificent trousseau. This determination,
apparently harmless and insignificant, is in
reality intended as a great distinction. 1t is,
in fact the first departure from the time
honored custom that, where the brides are not
daughters of imperial grand dukes of Russia,
the bridegroom should furnish the trousseau.
The wife of her own son, the princess of
Greece will not be so honored. 1t is evidently
an emphasis OF the esteem in which the i'm.
perial family hold the little principality Of
Montenegro.
