The wedding gown is finished and has been
tried on. 1t fits perfectly. 1t is in this robe
| made in this country, that the newest
| Duchess of Marlborough will be presented te
| the queen and it is promised that no former
Duchess of Marlborough will have excelled
her in the magEificence of her raiment.
One of the two dresses which have just
| been finished by costumer for Miss Van
| derbilt's trousseau may be selected as hel
''going-away" gown. The most elegant OF
| these, and one which would be quite fitting
| for the short railway journey to Idlehour
where the first few days of the honeymoon
| will he spent is of broadcloth. The full far.
| ing skirt is bordered about the lower edges
with a three-inch band of marten, which
| harmonizes beautifully with the fabric.
A position basque, cut after the Marie
Antoinette style, with voluminous ripple eff
| feet, is to be worn with 1t. A vest of curious
coppery bronZe-embroidered mousseline is
draped in bouffant manner over a folded
cloth girdle. Animal heads are used in lieu
of buttons, where semblance of some mode
of fastening is necessary. A box coat com
pletes this swagger rig. The seams of the
coat are strapped, and 1t IS buttoned loosely
across the front A high, straight collar fits
snugiy about the neck. An arrangement OF
claws and tails associated with chiffon OF
coppery tint suggests boa, and reaches the
waist lire. Military cuffs finish off the gen.
ercusly proportioned melon sleeves and give
decidedly English air to the garment
without which no outer wrap is up to date
