the day at state ball at Buckingham
palace. The dinner was largely military
and naval affair.
The state ball opened with quadriue IN

Princess of Wales wore a gown trimmed
with gold fringe with q lace train and
draped with gold spangled tulle. On her
head was tiara Of diamonds, orna-
ments pearls and diamonds. Black
gowans Respondent with diamonds
were much worn. The younger
ladies favored white or pale blue.

Scared by the formidable character of
the opposition to the cattle bill, Mr.. Chap
