and has fy-away feathers at the left side:
/ a bit of dull gilt shows in the bodice and
on the hat. Dull gilt shoes are also worn

Miss Alice Roosevelt yesterday received
the wedding gift which the French govern
n ment had intended for her. The gift con-
slsts OF beautiful gobelin, representing
Justice, and was offered to Miss Roose-
veft by Nd. Jusserand, the French ambassa-
DOR IN this city. 1t was understood that
President Roosevelt had informed several
european powers that 1t would not be
agreeable If they sent especially expensive
gifts, and, accordingly most European
gifts merely to express their good will and
wishes to the daughter of Americas first
citizen, but the French government had
aireaay given orders for the manufacture
OF this rare piece of tapestry. The piece
though not very large. Is invaluable as
that particular kind of gobelfn is solely
made for the French government on spe-
cfal occasions.
