The Dress of q ROYAL Bride,

1t is only outside of Russia that it is
possible to publish certain details of the
splendid fetes attending the marriage
of the czar:s daughter. It is conrraband
to print in Russian newspapers the fact
that at the wedding ceremony the en-
press Of Russia was dressed in blue
MORE antique thickly embroidered with
silver. Her majesty s jewels were sap
phires and diamonds. The dress of the
bride was entirely of silver cloth, with
a train of crimson velvet budered with
ermine. On her head was large dia-
mond tiara, behind which was bridal
wreath. and then ON top of the head was
the small diamond croWn worn by all
imperial brides at their weddings
Some time ago all the NEWSPAPERS in
Russia received an order forbidiing in
future any reference to the dresses worn
by the empress on state and public oc-
casians. This WIGS done in consequence
OF the Russian newspapers having In
correctly described her ajesty as wear
ing a dress which at the time was alto
gether ont OF fashion. .omllon Lester.
