THE BRIDAL GOWN
Miss Roosevelt presented pretty picture as
she stood upon the slightly raised dais and
greeted the guests as they passed in phalaux
before her. She had merry words and smiles
for every one, and frequently stopped them Ion:
enough for an exchange Of remarks
The brlce s gown was Tlch, Dut strlKlngly
Eirlish in outline and detail. and devoid of the
stiffness which generally marks such formal
costuming. The mysterious robe that has been
more pictured and more written about than
any other gown in America was not wholly IN
like some of the random guesses and it could
not have been more thoughtfuly constructed
for general becomingness than II was. After ALL
s. was the slender. girlish figure which gave It
its grace and artistic outline far more than the
cut Of the gown itself. The princess robe was
OF white satin. sweeping well TO the floor in
front in unbroken lines. It was absolutely
without trimming The bodice however, was
sottened by well arranged bertha-like adjust
rnent OF point lace about the rounded yoke and
fell into pointed plastroa over the front of the
bodice. The fulness OF the lace caught
upon either shoulder with sprays Of orange
blossoms. and fell over the pulled elbow sleeves.
Friils OF the point lace finished the sleeve, and
the transparent lace yoke of the bodice was
cut around at the neck and finished without a
collar.
About her throat Miss Roosevelt wore mar
row dog collar Of diamonds and rubies. a
slender chain OF the stones falling below
II and just at the bottom Of the collar line
Upon the front of her bodice spray effect
IN diamonds, with sn emerald as a centre set
ting. The fun square court train was OF a
splendid silver brocade made on the looms IN
this country. the designs also having been made
here. 1t was delicate and rich each flower of
white embossed silk being heavily outlined in
the silver, while threads OF silver glistened in
she background. AS Miss Roosevelt assembled

was shown, the train spreading TO the fullest

admire the beauty and finish Of the material |
Ihe white tule veil was wonderfully becoming
and softened the entire effect OF the costume
Her hair was arranged 10 form a slight cap ef-
feet and was held in place by a garland OF
orange blossoms. The bridal bouquet was of
pale mauve and white orchids, and while the
Ting was being placed was held by Miss Ethel
Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt wore splendid gown Of cream
satin brocaded in blue, and brown figures inter
woven with threads Of gold. II was made in the
long graceful lines Of a princess with a yoke

The brooaoe swept in rich folds over the floor.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt. now fourteen years old
and almost tail as her mother wore a dainty
gown Of point d'esprit lace over white India silk
The neck finished without a collar, and the
sleeves and bodice both pulled. She wore her
hair pompadOur, with a low dressing at the
back, and large faring white bow as a finish.
While the elder boys wore simple black morn
ing suits, the two younger ones were more char
acteristic in their dress. Archibald who is at a
boys school wore long pair of gray trousers
and short Elton Jacket of black. with the regu-
lstion Elton collar and black tie Quentin. the
younger, wore white sailor suit OF galatea
cloth and black tie. his little cousin. Sheffield
