DESIGNED BY MRS. ROOSEVELT
The gown that is said to have been
designed by Mrs. Roosevelt is very
handsome and very costly, but simple
in effect. It is of beautiful white lace
made over an underdress of white
Ichiffon, which in turn has been mount
led over a slip of palest yellow chif-
Ifon. The lining under all is of white
tsilk. This gown is made with a high,
transparent. neck and long sleeves. At
the top of the high collar is a line OF
Igold tissue, and a similar line of gold
finishes the sleeves at the wrists.
Another white gown is of chiffon
lover cleaning pink liberty satin, and
ION either shoulder hover pink butter
flies, while smaller butterflies nestle
with ~tspread wings of delicate hues
lacrOSs the decOlletage. A few butter
flies are on the skirt, too; placed care
llesSly, as if they had alighted to rest
lin the flmy folds of chiffon. One of
1.-THE paraSOls is also Ornamented with
butterflies futtering gayly owe a pale
blue surface. A yellow parasol has
a handle of natural wood and a great
lbunch of red cherries carved on the
top of the handle.
One of the hats is Of black chip and
lcurved and twisted to suit the piquant
face of the Wearer. 1t is trimmed with
moss roses, which Chamber from under
the brim on the left side over the
lcrOwn (denting in the brim on their
way across to the right side, where
they are met by a mass of green leaves.
iAnOther hat is of white rice straw
trimmed simply with a low, broad bow
Iof pale yellow ribbon and a white os-
Itrich feather.
LINGERIE SIMPLE BUT FINE.
The lingerie of this trousseau vas
Iordered, as is the lingerie of the high
born damsels of France and Germany,
Isimple but fine, with a beautifully
Wrought monogram instead of frills Of
lace and endless ribbons-the mark of
the nouveau richie, not to mention The
lady of the stage. The monogram Of
1.-The future Mrs. LOngworth is, Of
Icourse, A. R. L., worked in delicate
Escript with tiny flowers twining them
~jselves among the letters. The bride,
IwhO has her linen marked with the
initial of 1ler new name, is not in the
IAlice Roosevelt class, and has small
respect for family names and old-time
Icustoms for the eason that everything
lis new to her-family included.
The stockings in, this trOusseau are
Ia feature, as the bride-tO4be has a little
fad for pretty hosiery, and loves col
IOrS and fine silk so much that her lit
tile income of $1,000 a year has usually
been largely spent on the newest and
Iprettiest of stockings. Several dozen
silk stockings and many others of
Thread as fine as a spider a throw
Iare included in the t~rOusseau. One
lpair of black, so fine that they could
be passed through a baby'S first ring,
lare insert from toe to knee with lace
lmarguerites of graduated sizes. AnOth-
Ter pair is of yellow silk, and another
lpair has bouquets of flowers, each me
in g different delicate hue, embroider-
led all over the stocking from instep
Ito top. The stockings to be worn with
the wedding gown are of course Of
white silk, and were sent from France
with many other pretty things YER
lal weeks ago before the generS pub
lie was in the secret of the wedding.
Of slippers there are so many and
they are SO pretty that one is tempted
Ito talk about them for an hour. One
lpair Is of pink satin, with sprays of
lforget-me-nots embroidered on one
Iside of the foot only. Another IS of
Igreen with the toes covered with green
Icrystals, and another pair is of white
brocade, the design of the brocade fol-
lowed with gold thread, while another
|pair is of black with red heels and a
!great bow of red on the instep.
FLOWERS IN PLACE OF BUCKLES.
A pretty idea that originated with
Miss Roosevelt is to replace bows and
buckles by bouquets of flowers and the
wedding slippers have knots of orange
blossoms instead of buckles-with the
Exception of the n diamond buckle
THAT will be worn for sentiments sake
Evening cloaks, of course, are many
and beautiful, and the future Mrs.
LII Ids d WCohAANoS IoA IL W.
|ental cloak, and has had many of the
lovely silks and embroideries given to
her on her Philippine trip made up
Into long, loose garments for wear with
levening gowns. One of these wraps is
lof pale green lined with rose-pink and
Embroidered with birds and flowers in
Ishades of blue and a and yellow.
Another is of black, lined with pale
blue and embroidered gorgeously with
scarlet pomegranates and golden but
lterflies.
Among the more conventional even
hing cloaKs is one of white lace, lined
with yellow brocade and one of blue
satin with a cape OF white lace held
lin place around the neck by a gar
