At ball in Bermuda a wonderful |
dress was worn, in the making of
which over 10000 stamps were used.
Years were spent in collecting the |
stamps, and three weeks in the making |
of the dress, which was of the finest |
muslin. The lady called upon her
friends to help her, and the dress was
covered with the stamps of all nations.
They We're not put on anyhow, but in
an elaborate design.
On the front of the bodice was an
eagle made entirely of brown Column
bian stamps. Suspended from the
birds talons was a globe made of very
old blue revenue stamps. On each side
of the globe was an American flag,
| having stripes of red and blue stamps
On the back of the bodice was a col
lection of foreign stamps in the form
of a shield, in the center of which was
a portrait of Sir George Summers cut
from old revenue stamps.
A picture hat, covered with red and
blue stamps, was worn with this re-
markable dress.

Miss Alkaline Havemeyer, the maid
of honor, had gown no less hand
some in its way. This also was a prin-
cess robe of heavy white crepe, fitting
the figure perfectly, but not with mar
tistic tightness. The stock and gulmpe
were of white lace, and the elbow
! sleeves were each three quite deep
white lace flounces. Where the crepe
of the robe overlapped the lace guimpe
or yoke there was a border of viole'
velvet spangled lightly with golden
discs, and below this thin golden laces
crossed the bodice, giving an empire
girdle effect. In the back gold en-
broidery alone showed below the VIC
let.
On the upper of each three sleeve
tiounces was laid an incircling garland
of cloth of gold leaves, and on the 9TH
er two were similar garlands of green,
The skirt fell smoothly to the floor
being gored, and at the bottom was
finished by band of violet velvet
straight, of course, at the lower edge
but curved in scallops at the top. This
was spangled with tiny golden discs
and above it, the lower halves of the
wreaths resting in the hollows of seal
lops of the violet velvet, We're large
empire wreaths, some in gold and
some in green.
These wreaths were about twelve in
ches across. There were two in gold
at the foot Of the center front and or
each side a similar one in green; then
the wreaths alternated.
The hat topping this was wide brim'
med and low crowned, of pure white
encircled half way around with q
wreath of small cloth of gold roses
and leaves, and the other half shaded
by an immense ostrich plume in DARK
violet that fell off the back OF the brim
and trailed almost to her shoulder.
To finish this magnificent gown there
, was pillow muff in cloth of gold with
a large half bow, half chou, of violet
velvet at the left right side near sht
top, and falling gracefully from eacf
end were clusters OF tiny golden or
chids.
