Glistening Figure.
The queen was a shimmering,
clustering figure as she moved to Join
the king on the throne. Her corona
ton gown of brocaded cloth of sill
yer, embroidered with silver and sill
yer >sequins, together with her re-
splendent jewels, seemed to catch and
reflect millions Of rays of light.
So exquisite was the texture of the
silver cloth that the simplicity of man
ner in which it was fashioned,
brought out its beauty most vividly.
The gown was quite short, the bro
caded silver cloth being draped in
two high puffs over the hips, showing
dainty foundation of silver lace.
The bodice was close fitting and
pointed with the low 'V"-cut neck
filled in with silver-run net. Bands
of the brocaded silver cloth coming
over the shoulder from the back were
fastened just below the Shoulders in
front, the rest of the short sleeve
formed of real princess lace, being
finished with tassels of pearl beads.
Silver slippers too, were worn.
White Satin Train.
A white satin train, lined with sill
yer net and edged with ermine at
the bottom and at the V, where it
was attached to the queens gown,
hung from the shoulders.
Cloth of silver, lined with white
satin, formed the coronation robe of
the queen. 1t was over four yards
in length and was elaborately en-
broidered in silver and trimmed with
silver sequins, and was fastened to
the queens shoulders with strands
Of silk cord.
The court jewels of rhinestones
and solid silver carried out the
-dewy, silvery sheen produced by the
queens attire. The jeweled crown
rested on the queens dark hair. which
was worn low at the nape OF the neck.
The other crown jewels included the
rhinestone necklace and the jeweled
girdle and two bracelets studded with
diamonds, which were worn OH the
arms, above the elbow. The queen
carried jeweled scepter.
A platinum bar pin set with dia-
monds and sapphires was her gift
from the board of governors.
The material for the queen's gown
was imported this year from Paris
where it was designed by French
artist, who was incapacitated by the
war. 1t is a fleur -de-lis design elabo-
rated brocaded in silver on the cloth
OF silver.
