IRIML1 I'm lO[Ala
Berlin. May 12.-Princess Victoria
Luise, the Kaiser's only daughter, will
be married on May "A in a simple
bridal gown costing but 5000. That is.
The gown proper will cost a mere $2O0.
The train will cost approximately $500
and the bridal veil about $500, bringing
the total outfit to cost some $500. Of
course. the average bride would be very
much 'sot up if she could spend half
that much on her wedding dress but
when it is considered that VicN rias
papa is worth SO. 900 900 and that he re-
ceives a salary of something lik $780,
G3S per week, or 81 3G2 per diem that
81. 900 wedding wedding outfit for the
Kaiser's only daughter. who is marry
ing into one of the richest families OF
The great German Empire, doesn't look
like much. especially to the daughters
of some mere milliOnaires whose outfits
cost $15, 900 or more.
Victoria is said to have demurred
when her mother gave the Instructions
CAM einfach' or "entirely simple" to
the dressmakcrs. Papa is probably
afraid of what those awful Socialists
will say she is credited with. having
said. CAM einfach," the empress again
said. and simplicity is the keynote of
Vctoria's wedding gown upon which
more than so girls and women worked
Ear into the night so as to finish it by
May II. BY strict orders of the empress

until the gown was finished today when
