 An evening gown in the trous- seau of this child of fortune, the daughter of a man who is a doting father as well as a millionaire, and the bride of one of the great catches" of New York's "4o0," is shown in the illustrations, and its simplicity is in teresting when one considers that the trousseau of this October bride cost a sum that would make the average bride gasp with something Ike envi- ous astonishment.
 This graceful. artistic frock is of pal est yellow chiffon over soft satin of the same tint. It has a plastron or yoke delicate.y embroidered in palest pink coral beads. and the triple tunic which falls in points is edged with pale pink coral embroidery. The sin- pie sleeve Is worthy of attention.
