The classic beauty of her face and
figure were accentuated by her ex-
Quisite attire and by her surround
ings. Her bridal dress was a mag
nificent creation of heavy white satin,
point lace, chiffon, flmy tulle and sill
vSr brocade. The material from
which the gown was developed was
manufactured especially for Miss
Roosevelt, and the design was de-
stroyed as soon as the necessary
amount of material for the dress was
made.
The gown had a long court train OF
superb silver brocade. The bodice
was made high, without a collar, was
trimmed with rare old point lace, and
the elbow sleeves were finished with
the same filmy material. The sleeves
just met the long white gloves. A
voluminous tulle veil, almost com-
pletely enveloping the slender, grace
full figure, was held in place by dainty
clusters of orange blossoms. The
slippers were fashioned from silver
brocade, and instead of buckles, tulle
bows were worn, with tiny clusters of
orange flowers.
