THE CzARINA's LADIES.
Customs and Costumes Of Her Ma1esty's
Attendants.

cu.toms and Costumes of Her Ma1estys
Attendants.
The czar;na is accompanied during
her journeys by several ladies' q honcr'
who not only belong to the most afis-
+ocratic families Of Russia, but are, one
ana ali beauties Of the first rank, thus
increasing the brilliancy Of the RUSSIAN
imperial party. The Office OF lady q
honor is considered a great dignity.
ami the entire organization is ruled
by very strict etiquette. The young
ladies' selected enjoy extraordinary
privileges, and are present at all court
ceremonies.
when first entering upon her duty
the lady of honor receives as insignia
I fight blue silk ribbon with the mon
orram of the empress embroidered ~
rc,d. which is worn upon the lett
| shoulder.
The costume in which lady OF honor
appears is quite precious. II always
consists of white satin skirt, Wnlcn
in covered with jewels. Over the skirt
! great tunica Of purple-red viewer,
embroidered with gold. which
falls in heavy folds and ends
in long train. Inc sleeves
are long and hang in what Is
called the Russian pagodene styles
The most characteristic part OF the ces-
tune is the headdress, the kakochnick'
sort Of diadem, which recalls the
i ornaments Of the goddesses OF antlqui-
~ The headdress is the only portion
- the costume which reminds one Of
4 the old Great Russian costume. Like
the tunica, it is OF purple-red veivet
and very richly ornamented with Jew.
ais A long veil of white tulle, which
falls down gracefully over the train
i fastened to the headgear. This cos
) tume is worn only during lmltee
time by the younger ladies OF honor
After n few years of service the lazy o
honor rises in rank, and receives u
insignia a portrait Of the czarina' e
, in diamonds. Instead OF the heaNs
nurnle tun:ca, she wears now anothel
s;rilar garment of emerald green vel
vet. embroidered in silver.
Sometimes these ladies are the re
cinients of the Order of st. Katharine
which Peter the Great founded Tor ia

The empress chooses her ladies' Q
