YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shsred IL.
By MARY MARSHALL.
May 24-PrInce Ernest August sss
Princess Victoria Luiss


Princess Victoria Luis&
Just four years ago today the PrtDosss
Victoria Luise, only daughter oftthe Kss-
ser. was married 70 Prince ErnsA Aurusl
Duke OF Brunswick and Duneousg. and
as we read OF the event IL 10 hard %
realize that only four yesrS Sgo thsrs
assent bled in Berlin and feasted tog~thsr
as a happy family party the CEsr-or
rather the eN-CEar-of Russia. ExnG
George and Queen Mary. Of BuEi.oA
and a host Of other English DotAAlss
all more or less closely connected 70
blood or marriage with the Kaiser.
Though by no means a beautiful p<.n-
cess Victoria looked very attractive on
her wedding day. According 70 the
custom Of the Hohenzollen prinoss~es
she was married in gown Of eloth-of-
silver: but to relieve the metallic cold
ness characteristic Of such dresses hers
was made Of silver cloth having rose
coIored woof. This gave a very attractive
shading that harmonized delightfully."-
with the rose-colored satin frocks Of her
four bridesmaids.
II Is said that Princess Victoria, though
not a vain little princess in the least
had always shown a marked fononess
for Psris-msde frocks and Il was not
entirely to her liking that her father
demanded that all the gowns be bought
long repine and so busy were her days
with other thoughts that she did not
take much interest In her trouEsesu. In
fact there were but thirty-two dresses
in the bridal wardrobe. which. az royal
troUsseauN go. was very meager. II was
an idea Of her own that her four-meter
bridal train should be lined with ermine
and Il was her fathers idea that her
veil should he made entirely in Ger
hg
the Cleverest lacs-mskers in Silesia had
been working on the veil which was pro
nounced peerless among examples OF
modern lace-makinE. Among her bridal
things the princess had much OF light
blue the tsvorite color Of her husband
The wedding took place in the roysi
pei In Berlin before the company OF
English. Russian. and German roonlty.
The minister was the grand chaplain of
the court who had also baptized the
princess Immediately after the cere-
mony the princess turned and kissed her
imperial father who had been much NOV
cd during the tying OF the nuptiSl knot
and with more show OF formAlity. Enelt
before her hother and kissed her hand
Then. following the festivities Of the
afternoon. there was held the torch-liEht
dance. q custom handed down from the
time Of Frederick l.. and held only on
occa sions OF royal Hohenzollern mar
riaEes Another time-honored custom
that was not forgotten was the distr7hu-
ton Of the brides garter: only IN def
erence 20 modern taste little pieces OF
ribbon were distributed TO the ruests
in lieu Of the actual garter which, IN
days gone by. was actually taken OF
by the bride and cut into pieces by the
swords Of the knights at the dance.

U. S. STEEL At 1884;
BROKERS ENTHUSIASTIC
Copper Sentiment Buoyant-PeOple's
Gas Has Wide Break.
CBy the International News servieeD

By the International News serviee)
New York. May 23-United States Steel
sold today at 129 "a. which Is the high
record price established last December.
This was looked upon as an event in
Wall Street. and II was duly celebrated
with wholesale profit taking. So en-
thusiastic was Wall Street that the flood
OF proft-taking sales caused reaction
OF only a little more than two pointr in
Steel. although It checked the general
advance.
Copper stocks did not move 50 much,
but sentiment was extremely buoyant
because OF intimations that are coming
from Washington that the new price for
the metal will be above "A cents pound.
All other classes OF securities. except
Public Service companies. Joined IN the
days enthusiasm. The last-named ste ks
were heavy.
While the notation OF the liberty bond
issue means imitation OF the currency OF
the United States and higher prices for
everything, the market has now ad-
vanced to a point where some reaction
would naturally be expected.
OF particular interest today, aside from
United States Steel, Peoples Gas at
tracted much attention with wide
break. New Haven was weak again be-
cause 1t was officiaIly intimated that un-
less new capital Is forthcoming right
speedily the company will have to be re-
organized ~
on stocks were in good demand. Rails
were little better. but were quiet.
