Among the dresses worn at the draw
ing rooms ia was noticed that several
were ornameutei with lace rutfs Of the
Queen Elizabeth style. One lady wore a
ruff with full white lac tlounce falling
from il over her shoulders. Several
high bOdiceS were also worn, among
them a red silk over a brocaded petit
coat, and ruff of creamy lace. The
sleeves were wide aud full on the shout
der. often rufled and fitting the arm
closely az the base. The train was Of a
distinct material from the rest of the
dress, and fell 10 Vatican plaitS from
the shoulder. Some Of these trains were
finished with wreath of flowers on the
upper portion Of the train. while others
were made OF thin gauze with full frill-
ings of the material, which seemed
greatly TO puzzle the Queens pages
when they were thrown down in the
entrance chamber.

A son of Scotia, who is addicted to an
occasional spree, has recently been in
