MISS puLLMAN,s rRoussEAu.
Simplicity and Perfection In All 1t
Details.

Details.
CHICAGO. April A.-Just at present every
woman-even the new woman is on the qui
vive to know something about Miss Pullman's
trousseau, which has been quietly ordered
from the various fashionable modistes of this
country and Europe.
The tastes of this American heiress are ex-
ceedingly simple. She abhors snowy display
Of any kind, particularly in the matter of
dress, and one of the principal characteristics
OF her various gowns is their quiet elegance.
Nor has Miss Pullman ordered her toilettes
in any recklessly extravagant way. Her gar
ments are most judiciously chosen-and are
all in good taste.
One of the handsomest of her Paris Gre
at,ons is reception dress in soft lavender
shade. The full, faring skirt is trimmed
around the hem with double ruehing of
finished at the waist with a plated belt of
lavender chiffon. The sleeves are full and
puffed with the chiffon over the satin.
Another handsome gown, apropos for trav-
cling, is of deep green and has full skirt
looped over a petticoat of the same color, A
jaunty little jacket of contrasting color goes
with this and is belted in with one of the
new narrow belts.
desired, and in the quantity of small acces-
sories Of toilette so dear to the feminine heart,
nothing is found wanting, for the trousseau is
rich in the daintiest gloves handkerchiefs,
ties, belts and laces.
OF course, the most interesting of them all
is Miss Pullman's wedding gown. which Is

Dimity Dresses.

Some OF the daintiest yet most unpretend-
ing wash dresses will be of dimity sheer and
line, with the corded lines extremely small
The colored grounds are newest, yet there
are many with white surfaces so nearly COW
cred with clusters of small yellow, rose, or
green figures. leaves, or flowers that they
produce colored effect, and these are said
to wash particularly well. BY way of trim
ming they have insertions of Valenciennes
lace let in-not merely laid on-in large
squares on the entire waist and sleeves and
forming an effective row above the hem of
the skirt. Some of these insertions are an
inch and half wide. They are also formed
into open-looped bows, and applications of
ribbons are used in the same way. A large
bow of lace is let in at each side of the top
OF the front of the waist, and a single one
In the back. These have very simply cut
belted waists, their only seams under the
arms, unless large figure requires an under
arm form, and they are occasionally worn
over half-low Innings, and the waist is cut
down in very small square about the
throat. This is for extremely hot places for
very young women and girls yet in their
teens.
Large collarettes Of satin or of taffeta of the
color prevailing in the dimity are worn with
such waists. They are completed by ruff
fe in which the lace is inserted. Simpler
gowns, high about the neck, are completed
by draped stock of ribbon with a very large
bow at the back, and belt to correspond.
The full skirt is worn over an entirely sep
arate skirt of the dinity, gored closely and
trimmed with hounce of the same edged
with Valenciennes lace that has scalloped
edge. The outside skirt is trimmed down
either side with ribbon, starting at the belt,
and ending at the knee in bow with fat
open loops and waving ends.
Though color prevails In the dimity frocks,
one of the most charming yet made is of
white and black, with large collarette of
clear green taffeta ribbon finely tucked in
clusters to alternate with insertions of Va
lerciennes. This is bordered by a deep
ruffie of the ribbon, in which Valenciennes
an inch and half wide is inserted. Narrow
er insertions of Valenciennes are let in to
form plaids on the entire waist and sleeves.
The waist has no fulness at the top, but is
about four inches square. The neck has no
high collar, and is cut down slightly square
in front where the taffeta collarette rolls
/. over. Bishop sleeves are also crossbarred
with narrow insertions. The skirt has row
of these lace plaids inserted above a very
deep hem. 1t is made quite wide at the foot,
and is not closely gored at the top, even at
the front and sides, being shirred In two or
three rows below the bet. 1t is worn over
a separate skirt of tfta asame dimity, quite
closely gored. and trinsnaswith founce OF
the same edged with scalloped valenciennes

a genuine '.joy forever" and has been pro-
nounced by those competent to judge as the
handsomest wedding dress ever worn by an
American bride. 1t is of rich heavy white
satin, embroidered in pearls and brilliants.
The skirt is made FULL with an effective court
train, and is embroidered in three panels of
the pearls and brlliants.
The bodice is cut decollette, and has short
sleeves, but for the wedding both the neck
and the sleeves will be filled with soft white
tulle. Like the skirt, the bodice is embroid-
cred with jewels and has a superb girdle
which is solid mass of pearls and diamonds
The gown was designed, cut and made by
prominent Chicago dressmaker, who sent
it to Europe to be embroidered
Miss Pullman will wear a point lace veil
and the bridal flowers will be white orchids
and lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids gowns are to consist of
white taffeta skirts with tulle or chiffon ruf-
fies and white taffeta bodices covered with
tulle.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

speculative wheat Saturday, with prices clos

The feature in the cash wheat market was
the scarcity of buyers. The disturbing fac

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Close Was Steady at General
Fractional Declines.

NEW YORK, April 25-Today's stock mar
ket was above the recent half-holiday aver
age in point of activity. The course of prices
was reactionary, chiefly in sympathy with
Sugar. The stock mentioned figured for al
most one-half of the dealings. The initial
prices were fractionally above yesterdays
final sales Sugar leading with gain of al
most a point. This improvement was only
momentary. The pressure against the rail-
way list was marked in some instances,
clearly rejecting realization. The grangers
were prominent in the reactionafy move
