| HMRer anna" as 1t Ia called. 1t will
be great mock steamer, made up SO
as to give every effect of an ocean
liner. This will go on a mock journey
from Marseilles to Constantinople. The
ship will not move from it's place of
course, but bells will be run, gang
planks will be drawn in, the vessel
will rock and thrOb gently as though
her engines were pushing her through
the harbor, q panorama of shores with
the proper scenes of wharves and ship
pings, then rocks, coasts, and wide
seas will be unrolled about the boat,
the vessel will rock and throb as
swells, bells will ring, watches be GALL
ed. stewards run about serving meals
| and perhaps the glasses will tumble
about and the soup spill and sea sick
ness come. The mock voyage lasts but
q short time and probably will be
largely patronized.
Miss Grant, the grand daughter of
General Grant, Ia to have one OF the
most splendid weddings that ever de-
lighted the vanity of an American girl
and it is to be hoped that her welded
life will be as happy as the wealth,
gayety and beauty of the first day give
promise. We Americans remember
too we'll the unhappy story of Nelly
Grants life with her English husband
and her fathers sorrow not to have
some fears for this girl's happiness
with her Russian prince-but as long
as it is to be: it is best to look into the
future with hope and bright wishes.
Miss Grants aunt is Mrs. Potter Palm
er who is famous for her lovely cos
tunes and she has inspired the trOus-
seau which is all that Paris,
wealth and art can do today to
10 nf
an exquisite quality of black gauze
embroidered with gold threads. Both
the low cut bodice and the trailing
skirt are lightly broidered with irises
the skirt EN- broiery growing heavier
and closer towards the hem which
shines and shimmers with the gold in
close pattern. The under petticoats
and the train of the costume have many
underneath ruffles of black chiffon, to
give the lovely wave lines to the hem.
For this costume there is necklace
and girdle of heavy Russian gold elabo
rately carved. To crown all is COL
den butterfly for the hair. The but
terfy is SO delicately wrought and in
geniously contrived that his gauze-like
wings hutter with every motion or lit
tie breeze. Another costume of white
crepe striped with insertions of Brus-
sells lace is embroidered with green
leaves and adorned with orchids of
mauve and greenland white the curling,
huted orchids being fashioned of
silk, chiffon and velvet by French
artists who can deceive flower growers
with their DOsies. Both bodice and
skirt are embroidered but the bodice
otherwise is very simple-being fash
toned of fine tucks. A mauve velvet
girdle finishes the art of the gown ex
cept for the fluffy ruffies of tulle under
the hem and the soft silken lining.
Another frock-a lounging robe is
made of three shades of rose chiffon.
There are three loose srobes of the
chiffon, one over the other, the deep
est rose shade undermost and all
clasped only at the corsage. The
r ose colored silken lining performs all
the practical Offices of the costume,
leaving the chiffon to hang in lovely
folds. The sleeves are like roses be-
ing masses of overhanging ruffies of
the three tints.
