the "grande marquise," was scrupu-
lousy followed by the ladies of the
court. No sooner had she set the ex-
ample by wearing this becoming gar

king and queen adopted this more prac-
teal form Of dress in preference to tie
lowered silks and satins worn hither-

rendered the sport easier 20 the ladies
who preferred riding. The coat was
carried out in a bright colored cloth re-
lieved with fancy galloon or embro1der-
les. The most effective material how
ever, was velvet in variety OF beau

from her interviews with the queen
that she used in her shop the same
language the minister used concerning
the audiences he had with her royal
customer in the cabinet. When fas-

putting the flowers into big vase on
