this occasion, which are wholly Ola

and the diadem will therefore remain
the property Of the crown, although
the cost of mounting them for the use of
her Majesty was borne out of the privy
purse. This ddadem is technically known
us a ~circlet, surmounted by the cross

The general effect of tho crown is ex-

in which 1t is half concealed by a veil,
which was not worn In the earlier years
Of the reign, when this form of circlet
was in ordinary use; and, indeed. there
would seem to be some doubt as to
whether the particular form Of coronct

actual use at all, gsIt was this GLADDEN.,

in the Tower of London and was borne

purpose the crown has only left the

The French Government has bestowed
upon few American women the purple
ribbon that indicates rank as an officer
of the Academy. Miss Kate Field and
Miss Marie Van zandt are among those
who nave been thus honored. and Miss
Elizabeth Marbury is another.
Her work as the purveyor of French
dramas to the American stage, and her
zeal in protecting the interests of the
playwrights, is fully appreciated by the
French government, and the form their
recognition has taken is partly due to
the fact that this particular honor is, as
a rule, awarded to those who have been
in some way engaged in educational
work. Miss Marbury's success in making
French plays known to the American
public is evidently considered as an edu-
cational labor.
Sh has the reputation of being a keen
woman of business, and as the accredited
representative in this country of the
French Dramatic Authors Society she is
able to attend to all the details of the
authors interests. and is the only one
through whom the works of the great
French dramatists, such as Sardou and
the like, can be obtained.

The fancy work of the moment of the

or silks or any of the embroidery ma

fectly matched in the ribbons. From
these the busy fingers are fashioning
corset covers to be worn under the sheer
shirt waists of organdie and batiste,
which will be included in this same mo-
dish young woman's. summer outfit. The
little slips are cut in three pieces, with
seams only under the arms. They are
trimmed all around the upper n lower
edges and up the front with a narrow
beading, finished with an equally narrow
lace edge. Through the beading the rib
bon runs, and by it they are drawn into
a full and pretty fit. They are sleeveless,
the armholes edged with the same lace
and beading to tie up on the shoulders.
The ribbon may be run unbrokenly and
tie aroun the garment to draw it into
a bolero effect in front, or it may end at
corsage and belt line separately. They
are dainty and not unnecessary little con-
fections of summer toilet.

of a French blue foulard silk. The lowers
are exactly natural size. The skirt has
a narrow ruffle of plain blue silk around
the hem. The blouse is cut so as to fasten
or the left side with an accordion-pleated
ruffle of the plain silk. The charming
toque is of dull blue straw. 1t is partly
yelled in white silky grenadine and has
tall punches of cornf1ower standing high
at the left side. The flower stems ruust
be wired well to hold them aloft.
