less, and will be filled with chiffons high
to the throat. The mantian de court is
of yellow plush, with lining of satin of
the same color, and will depend from the

Gladys Drullard, Rosalie Bernheim, Lita
Tuttle and Lita Crane. The guards

train. Her majesty will be preceded by
the little herald and flower girls, and fol-

carnival colors. The large veranda is COW

graceful folds, while here and there de-
