thetic and artistic taste of no less a

such things he is said to excel.
OF all the component parts of the
trousseau the greatest interest centers
about the piece de resistance = the
bridal robe. Miss Gould will be spleH-
didly arrayed on her wedding day III
magnificent gown of ivory-white satin,
being made by Dunstan. The skirt,
which hangs in graceful folds from the
waist line, is voluminous, as fashion
now DEGREES. The train, an accentua-
ton Of extreme style, enhances mHcn
of the loveliness of the tout ensemble.
Thread lace of exquisite pattern is en-
ployed in the decoration Of the bodice,
and this is spangled profusely. A high
neck and bouffant sleeves reaching 20
the elbow complete it. The going
away gown of stylish Scotch tweed
possesses distinctive air which only
Paquin's inimitable designs can dis
play, and was a creation of KreamerS s
artistic skill. A jaunty jacket, cut
short, wavy full ripple skirt, is to be
worn with it, the prevailing color OF
which is vieuX blue. A number of
evening gowns, few dinner dresses,
together with wraps, are being con-
structed at this swell establishment.
Perhaps the prettiest of them all is a
Frenchy creation, composed of peach
blow pink silk combined with black
/ mousselaine de sole. The skirt of de-
cidedly f1aring kind has about the low
! er edge a ruche of accordion plating
| finished into cream lace. The square
cut waist is prettily embellished by the
| same mode of treatment. Spangles
galore lend themselves beautifully to
the finishing touches of this chic toilet.
| The handsome dinner dress is bronze
| amazon cloth. The skirt is an eXag-
gerated faring one, differing little
from the accepted style. The full is
evenly distributed from the belt and
then confined in organ plaits at the
back, giving novel and effective
grace to the hang. The bodice is most
original with it's group of box plaits
ornamented with tiny fiat gold buttons.
A noticeable feature also was the new
collar. Dressy in its soft uneven folds
on the high stock and conspicuously
pretty by the absence of rosettes.
OPERA CLOAK, TEA GOWN, ETC.
An opera cloak of MORE velvet which
is all the most fastidfous could desire,
is the embodiment of elegance. Yards
of lace associated with animal heads
seems somewhat incongruous, but
forms an elaborate garniture which is
strikingly handsome. A tea gown of
cream corded silk and an Importation
is fetching in the extreme. 1t is cut
after the empire stlye. The short waist
with it's profuse arrangement of lace,
yields most. satisfying results.
Miss Gould said today that she had
not selected her chapeaux, but that
well-known milliner would supply them.
They, of course, will correspond or con-
trast agreeably with the costumes with
which they shall be worn. Partisan
bonnets are such fascinating confec-
tions of the millinery art that the pur-
chase of them will be deferred until the
countess arrives in Paris. Boots, slip
pers and gloves are among the minor
accessories which have been purchased
at random in Miss Gould's shopping
tours. This is another evidence of
that democratic spirit which seems to
pervade her movements. Almost every
Well-knoWn firm has been patronized
in a small way.
The lingerie and dainty belongings
thereto are of the sheerest material.
Rutfies Of lace and beribboned insert
ings emphasize their beauty. Some
silken night robes have Valencienne
friIls about the neck. The sleeves are
fashioned in the Josephine style. A
most charming array of silk petticoats,
delicately tinted, and hosiery of cobweb
fneness. are other items of interest Of
miladys trousseau. Nor is the least
important element of it the lavish dis
play of kerchiafs in lace and linen and
twill
ingly artistic conceptions in yokes and
collarettes of Limerick lace where chit
fon and flowers are used are most to
be admired. Miss Gould accorded a
distinct privilege to Davis & Sanford
today when she spent the morning
hours at their studio. She was photo
graphed in a variety of positions, and
donned one of the SWEETEST gowns in
her collection for the occasion. She
wore very handsome street gown to
the studio. A tan cloth, with border of
sable around the skirt. A smart jacket
of black velvet, with heavy ecru lace
jabot and a becoming little bonnet of
approved shape, with cerise roses rest
ing close against the hair. Her maid,
who accompanied her carried in her
arms a box containing the white even
ing gown which replaced the street
costume when she sat for her photo
graph.
Miss Gould thinks it will be an infn-
ite relief when the tiresome talk and
gossip concerning her marriage shall
cease. She cannot understand why her
affair should or shouldn't become pub
lie, and is heartily sick of the unceas--
ing notoriety which is thrust upon her.
Her familiarity with the French Ian
guage, and her recent stay in Paris,
will facilitate matters greatly when
she assumes her position in the gay
capital as the wealthy Countess de
CaStellane.
