Miss Wilson, and shortly after 10 she
arrived there with her aunt, Mrs. James

fiancee at the shop, and the three spent
more than two hours in one Of the private
showrooms on the second floor, during
which Miss Wilson selected ten of her
frocks, including the wedding gown.
No member of the firm would give the

ported model of blue. which is made in
the very newest French mode" she con-
tinued. Miss Eleanor's clothes will be
much smarter and more expensive than
those which Mrs Sayre selected for her
trousseau. because Eleanor is more fond
of dress than Jessie ever was"
Miss Wilson has not decided on every
detail of her wedding gown, as she will

matter. But Miss Wilson, so her friends
said, is determined on very beautiful old
lace and white satin with long train and
tulle veil.
