fur: their big picture hats of black
velvet will be loaded with black
plunes. and they will carry punches of
lilies of the valley and orchids. The
groom's gift to them are pins made of
the monogram c. c., set in flashing
diamonds.
The bride will wear white satin as
stiff and lustrous as satin can be. the
gown is cut in princess fashion, and
the only trimming for the full, plain
skirt is a friil of marvelously beauti-
full lace falling from wreaths of orange
blossoms. The train is four yards
dong. 1t will be almost covered by the
exquisite point lace veil, which is to
fall from q coronet of enleralds and
diamonds, the gift of Mr.. and Mrs.
George j. Gould. The corsage is made
with high neck and very full, long
sleeves.
Catching the lace on her bodice, the
Gift of her fiance will show with daz-
zling effect. The gift was designed
by Count de Castellane, and it is regal
in its beauty. Two hundred and fifty
large diamonds and two immense en-
eralds, the latter costing $4,000 each,
are used. There is a central piece
nearly as large as a woman's hand in
an elaborate diamond-crusted design
inclosing one of the emeralds. Double
chains of diamonds run right and
left, fastening high up on the Shout
ders, caught at one end by three dia-
mond feathers and at the other by a
small copy of the center piece, also
holding an. emerald.
From the necklace of diamonds
which Miss. Helen Goulu L. -, ga,
among many other gifts, will hang a
pendant, another gift from the groom.
1t is an emerald as nearly haWlesS as
those stones ever are, and the largest
for depth and brilIiancy that has ever
been seen in New York. 1t is sus-
pended in a hoop of picked white dia-
monds. Besides her bouquet of white
lilies and orchids, she will carry
fan of point lace made in the same pat
tern as her veil and the lace which
Grapes her gown.
Her going-away gown is a thing of
beauty. The material is heavy ribbed
dark green silk almost the color of
an ivy leaf. The skirt fits snu2ly
about the waist, but flares in the most
approved French fashion at the foot.
A band of dark mink fur runs around
the skirt, and upon it is a black silk
guipure entredeuX laid over a band of
white satin two inches deep. The
skirt is plain in the front and at the
sides, but falls in a deep series of
godet pleats at the back. The corsage
is of a quantity shaped coat opening
over a waistcoat of tight-ftting err
mine, with high military collar out
NV hon Of ha
coat has a broad collar and a wide
revers of white satin overlaid with
the black guipure, and the sleeves
are voluminous- affairs of the silk,
trimmed with a tiny band of mink at
the waist. The crowning glory OF this
costume are the buttons, all of wedg
wood ware, having a design of white
CupidS on a green background, set in
a rim of flashing rhinestones. The
gloves are white, and the picture hat
of green velvet is trimmed with n
bunch of green ostrich tips in front
and a great loose bunch of Violets on
one side, looking as though they were,
like the other flowers. freshly gath
cred at the Conservatives at Lynd-
hurst
In the twelve big trunks which will
accompany the Countess de Castel-
lane across the seas are dresses to
walk in, to dance in and talk in, and
especially dresses in which to do
nothing at all. A beauty which she
will wear in the early spring is of
Narcissus green cloth braided all over
in a ribbon design in fine silk braid of
a walnut tint, entwined with threads
of iridescent metal. The capote is of
Narcissus velvet with wings of bronze.
y gown OF purple cloth has triple
pleated blouse of purple Lyons velvet,
with a collar and narrow braces of er-
mine, and a black silk brocaded in
roses and forget-me-notS, has a waist
of pink chiffon over pink silk, touched
with bands and bows of rose pink vel
vet. There are velvet and silk gowns
for carriage and reception wear, bro
caded and lace-covered silk gowns for
balls and parties, dinner dresses and
house dresses in almost endless vai1-
ETY. of coloring and combination.
Just to think. There are three dozen
tea gowns and matineeS in the trouS-
seau, and each one cost away up in the
hundreds One of the prettiest is of
rich white satin, made with a very full
plain skirt. The bodice ends at the
waist. where it is finished by an en-
pire belt of folded white satin The
novelty of the gown is the arrange
ment of d deep pleating of white chif-
fon, which falls almost like a cape
from a yoke of white silk guipure and
bands of sable fur An exquisitely
dainty gown is of pale salmon brocade
with 4 net front worked in small
pearls and bordered with pearl en-
broidery. The corsage is cut low in
the neck, and is trimmed with chiffon
and bows of green velvet matching in
tone the green in the brocade
The prettiest of all the house gowns,
to my mind. is one of rich dahlia-
colored velvet. The waist band is fast
ened with diamond buckles: and the
tight-fttting waist, as we'll as the front
of the gown, is trimmed with white
satin covered with filny black lace
The sleeves are of the satin, with
broad epaulets of the dahlia-coiored
Velvets.
1t would have done your eyes good
to have seen tie exquisite handmade
lingerie, all ruffied and embroidered.
Every article ruffled, fine and soft
enough for any baby in the land
Three dozen Of every article was or
dered, and the bill for these cobwebby
garments was $4,000. Silk skirts were
ordered Of every hue, ruffled and en-
broidered. Every article was of silk,
and the colors included every shade of
the rainbow.
Many people thought that, owing to
the short time between the announce
ment Of the engagement and the mar
riage, Miss Could might utilize the
trousseau she purchased in Paris a
year ago, when she was engaged TO
Oliver Hartman. The breaking of this
engagement made the trousseau use
less. But Miss Gould is not an ordi-
nary young woman in the matter of
wealth or disposition, and a new trous-
seau was determined upon, with graft
Tying results, that can easily be seen.
From financial standpoint the wed
ding will be a credit to the name of
Gould. The trousseau. the gifts of the
family and friends and the other Incl
