one Of the reports of the Vanderbilt
Whitney wedding, which occurred last
Tuesday, contained the following descrip-
ton of the brides dress:
The procession at the wedding came
down the vide stairway from the first
landing the bride leaning upon the arm
of her brother. Alfred Vanderbilt. Her
gown was made by Doucett q Roun of
Paris 1t was as plain as possible, of rich
est cream white satin trimmed with lace
which has been in the Vanderbilt family
for a long time. The bridesmaids wore
muslin de sole over white silk, with fuzzy
ruffies of queen ValencienneS lace headed
with insertings of the same. The waists
We're of Valenciennes insertings with
pufings of the same sort OF material, with
Nandyke points over ribbon collars. The
sleeves were full length. with cuffs of
Nalenciennes inserting and small puffs at
the shoulder. Shaded rose-colored belts
lent a delightful touch of color to the cos
tune Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and Miss
Dorothy Whitney wore organdie muslins
with fluffy collars of Nalenciennes lace.
The brides bouquet was of stephanous

gifts consisted of jewels and gold and sill

They represented a fortune, and Detective
Richards and his two assistants recogniz-
ed the fact, for they never took their eyes
off them until the precious stones wSre
locked up in the safe.
A diamond necklace and tiara from the
brides parents and a diamond necklace
from Mr.. Whitney divided honors in the
exhibition with the ruby and diamond
pendent of Mr.. W. K. Vanderbilt, and Col.
Payne's pearl necklace which, when
thrown about the brides neck, reached
to the floor. In addition to these there
were all sorts of keepsakes. some useful
and others merely ornamental, but all
studded with precious stones
The gowns of the bridesmaids, which
were the gifts of the bride, cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000 each. The brides
gown two and a half times that sum. The
long veil, which was caught up with or
ange blossoms and a diamond arrow, the
gift of the bridegroom, was the same that
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt wore on her
wedding day.
