ANNA G0ULD'S TROUSSEAU.
II Will Cost, II Is Said, a Cool
Million.


Knows the Things That Should Be
in the Modern Wedding Outfit.
From the St. Louis Republic
New York, April 25 II believe Anna
Gould is spending a million dollars on her
wedding outfit, " said a modiste of New
York the other day, as she stood knitting
her brows over long order bearing the
Gould crest on the corner Of the paper
And must say the things she is buying
are lovely enough to tempt any one-eyeu
girl with less money to spare"
Then she went on telling what they
were, And as she said they would soon
be known to the girl friends of the bride.
and consequently to all the world, it is 40
pity to know little about them in ad-
vance of the girl friends-a prenuptial
trousseau glance.
The gowns are nearly all ordered in
this country, for while Mrs George
Gould, in whose hands the trousseau buy
ing is placed. goes to Europe often, she
always gets the great majority of her
gowns IN this country. She and her hus-
band feel that money should be spent
where it is made
There is an order for twelve morning
gowns. They are silk, and are loose with
ribbons for belts and punches of ribbons
Tor trimming, also just simple things for
slipping on in the morning for the cup of
chocolate. 1t is unlikely that Miss Gould
will have them laundered-she with her
s., 900 week to spend for life-but they
can be so treated. Their cost is $40 on
the average-not bad for silk gowns
Or slippers there are many; and, nice
TO say, they are to match" gowns They
are of all colors and materials. Several
pairs are made of the dress material of
certain reception dresses, and others are
black satin, white satin and the shades
OF color that are found in the dresses for
the house. Miss Gould wears No. %
shoe, and her slippers are smaller, SO
that they look very dainty in a row
ready TO be sent home. The fancy pat
tern slippers and the shoes with tops to
match carriage dresses are there, too
and great many Of them.
Miss Gould, so says the modiste, has
never dressed great deal. She was in
school until this year and there was
clothed very simply by her fathers de-
sire, so that the bewildering array of
new dresses pleases her as much as any
one. She goes out of mourning in her
trousseau, and having worn black a year
and half, colors are very attractive to
her.
FOND OF JEwELED BELTS.
Miss Gould's favorite style of dress is
collar opening at the back With this
she wears big sleeves, usually of striped
velvet, and there is belt of the same
goods. This style of dress is provided
for in her trousseau, for she has many
very beautiful jeweled collars and belts
studded with rare gemS, many of them
oriental and picked up by her family in
travels. There are dozen of the belts
and collars, and their value is-welI,
estimate it, when one of the belts has
jewel said to be worth $500; and il is only
mate to several others.
Like other young society women, Miss
Gould fancies silk underwear. The love-
liest silk skirts are hers, aud as she is
slender they are ruffled and f1ounced with
| deep lace. There is silk skirt to match
| each of the slip-on gowns, and there are
black and white ones for the carriage and
| reception dresses of which she is having
so many made
Mrs. George Could who is very
stylish woman, never dresses herself dis
cordantly. She wears a hat made to
match her dress and her parasol gloves
and boots match. In the selection of her
little sister-in-law's trousseau she has
the same idea, for the modiste
tells me that she has been to infinite
trouble getting kid dyed to match the
dresses so as to have gloves just the right
shade; and has gone wild trying to find
cloth for the boot tops to match a certain
shade of silk or velvet. No errors would
be pardoned, and as no stipulation is
made as to price she should not complain,
she says; only-it makes her nervous to
have so much responsibility placed upon
her shoulders.
The predominant shade in the trousseau
is the new shade of red-rose red it is
called BY some and tea rose by Others
while still others call it light petunia-
i
leaf Of fuil-blown American Beauty
rose. ltcombines sweetly with green and
is too lovely for anything with hello
trope. Miss Gould has it combined in the
choicest French style with both Of these
and she will be picture. for she is not
TOO light nor too dark for such striking
combinations.
This American Beauty-leaf color is very
expensive A Fifth avenue milliner
whose shop runs through to Broadway,
has tiny bonnet of it and the cost was
$50, when of any other color it would
have been less than half that amount
MANY CALLING GOWNS
More orders are for reception dresses
aud calling dresses and their filings. the
modiste says, than for any others. Miss
could is so young-has she been II yet!
that tea gowns and elaborate house
dresses do not appeal TO her.
WIN IuG CdlllLS uEbSSSS Ju6r6 are caro-
cases bound in the color of the dresses,
and little carriage parasols TO match are
sent home snugly tucked away in the
dress box. With each dress there goes
about three pounds of orris and lavender
and violet. as the boxes are lined with it,
and little sachets are tucked away in the
dress where you would not ind them and
where they never come sliding out as they
do from the hands Of commoner moGistes.
Mrs. Gould has fancy for velvet bows.
You have seen them in the shop windows
tied in gorgeous fashion. But have you
priced theml You must break more than
a 50 bill for any of them Miss Gould has
them of the rose velvet ready to be pinned
upon the shoulders of summer white
dresses and she has them in all colors
from rose to white for hair; for although
she has begun 10 wear handsome Jewels,
she much affects the ribbon adornment.
And this is elaborate and important
enough 10 be included in a rousseau.
EXPENSIVE FLoUNCEs.
A great deal of fine lace has been or
dered. Possibly it will be placed upon
the skirts OF summer dresses. IL has been
ordered 6ounce width and of the best
qualities. Some of the broad lace, as
wide as dress skirt, is as high as S285 a
yard, while other tounces are not more
than 500 1t may be said of these pieces
OF lace that they wear forever and are
heirlooms afterward.
