For table covers, as summer piazza

dull blue felt. The petals of the flowers
are represented with loose loops Of
chenille: by loose loops it may be un-
derstood that thetips are not sewn down,
as Ill many other kinds of neediewOrk.
The leaves are put i'll with tapestry
woods in bold, simple fashion, and the
stems of some groups are tied with blua
ribbons worked with silks. Daisies
make charming group, and there Is
also thistle design. much convention

A lovely table center is of yellow
pongee, the decoration being graceful
group of daisies worked in blue, pink,
heliotiope and yellow hloselles. The
petals are given with long loops of the
filoselle sewn down to tie ground. This
is one Of the most popular styles of
working flowers, and it takes" because
it is so easy and rapid. The centers of
the flowers are done with French Knots
OF brown, yellow and green silks. On
yellow Bengaline the flowers are
worked with white or pale tinted silk

Paris Herald.
The shah of Persia. who is now in his
siXty-third year, and who is the happy
parent of eighteen children, concluded
recently that he would have another
wedding at his magnificent mountain
residence at EiburZ. which is some dis
lance from Teheran. His majesty, in
order 10 spare himself the trouble Of
marrying again at some future day. de-
cided to take to himself three wives at
once.
The matrimonial projects of the shah
caused considerable inconvenience to
the recently appointed Austrian minis
ter. who desired to present his credan-
tials to Persia's ruler. He LEFT for Ell
birZ to do so, but to his great disgust
had to wait over a week in miserable
caravansary, situated on the road to
Teheran.
The PerSianS are great SticklerS for
court etiquette, and the representatives
are prohibited from entering the capital
until the usual fornaiitieS have been
observed. AS NaSr-ed din was occupied
with his marriage ARRANGEMENTS, the
court officials were too busy to look
after The Austrian envoy, and he was
left out in the cold till the shah was
safely married.

VANDEBILT'S PALACE,
Cornelius Has Realized the Dream
of Aladdin.

of Aladdin.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt's newly
completed residence is not less a palace
because it happens to be built in
republican America, nor is its owner
less prince because he has no
title.
The house. without being a COPY, yet
vividly recalls that portion of the cha
teau of Blois built by Louis XII, which
of all the great chateauX and royal resi-
dences Is the most hOme-like and liy-
able.
Upon entering the house one finds
himself in large sqnare hall, whose
walls are OF CaeE stone, laid in blocks,
and elaborately carved from the floor
TO the gallery upon which open the
rooms Of the second floor. The effect is
one of extreme purity, suggesting the
trostwork of the ice palaces of fairy
lore, but the shadows cast by the blocks
of stone break the uniformity and re-
lieve it of GOODNESS.
The floor is of polished Mexican ONYX.
There is a succession OF drawing rooms,
furnished after the style of the Louis
XIV, XIV. and XVI. periods. The prin-
cipaI one is finished in white and gold
the gliding being IN what is called
VIC OllhuIu SllSCG -uulI IN tone, as
though time had dimmed what has
been called ''the impairment stare of
new gilt"
The frieze is mass of golden palm
leaves, so exquisite i'll design that the
Imagination tricks one into the belief
that they are waving slightly in the
breeze. The gold leaf used in this room
alone cost $4,000.
The most novel feature is a device to
screen the windows, which are ueces-
sarily blank-iOoking spaces when the
room is lighted in the evening. Mirrors
are made to slide in front of them,
which are then framed by the window
draperes.
The library Is very large room, fur
nlshed In dark, rich colors, com bining
extreme elegance with perfect homelike
comtort-a charm that few European
palaces have attained. Between the
mantel and deep bay window there is
a mysterious Enclosure that, opening,
reveals small elevator for the cou-
Vehlence of the lady of the house, which
she can manage by touch, since it is
worked by electricity. Should she
desire to become suddenly invisible, no
fairy device or trap door could be more
effective.
The ball room Is probably the most
magnificent apartment in the country.
The ceiling is trescoed with figures, but

The first is an exceedingly tasteful
and novel arrangement of rich cream
silk and gold braiding The skirt of
this char ming little gown had the usual
flare, and down the front are trailed the
zig-zag rows of gold, beginning narrow
from the waist and gradually wipenlng
towards the bottom. The close-fitting
waist is plain at the back, while from
the side seams and down the front is
brought dainty pale-blue spotted muslin
so as form full drawn vest. Over this,
in the form of zouave, is the cream
silk braided to correspond with the
skirt. This forms points that meet
above the waist line, and IS
really very effective. The extra
full sleeves tighten on reaching
the elbow, from which they have sew
eral lines Of the gold running round

worn with the exquisite costume is a
cream straw edged with narrow fine
lace which is allowed to fall slightly
over the rim, shading the face in very
becoming way, while the rim is orna-
mented with wide ribbon bows and
cream tips. The parasof is pale blue
chiffon.
