some ana lovely, her exquisite corona
tion robes added greatly to her beauty.
Fashioned OF soft white satin. with
an over-dress of. ChantilIy lace. the
entire costume was charming In it's
simple lines and beauty of detail The
gown itself was eaf dancing length, TO
which the court train added just a
touch of dignity. The train was of
satin, bordered in bands of snowy
tulle, and was fastened at the Shout
ders, from which 1t fell In sweeping
length. and was lifted where it
touched the floor BIS two small pages
Blanche and Wade Morgan, charming
in their white satin suits.
The overdress was OF Chantilly lace
bodice in basque effsect, and the bou-
FAINT skirt being entiA-ely of lace over
satin, and over this in graceful lines
fell a drapery of tu1le, lavishly trim
med in pearls, which outlined the
round neck, and shont sleeves were
used to outline the waist, falling in
graceful lengths from waist half way
to the hem of the tulle skirt, the deep
scallops of which We're bordered with
strings of the pearls, &he whole cre-
ating an effect of youthful charm
An arm bouquet of white carnations
showered with frezias completed the
costume of the young queen, who
found her way into the hearts OF her
people, not only for hes- grace and
youthful charm. but for the gracious
friendliness with which She received
the homage of her subjects.
As the royal party advanced, amid
the musical welcome and the applause
OF the assen1blage. spot lights were
thrown on, which threw into high re-
lief the brilliant scene, the queen, in
her shinamering robes, the king in his
royal splendor, and the court in their
vari-coIored costumes creating a pic
ture of artistic beauty.
Placing his queen upon the throne,
and seating himself beside her, amid
the applause of his people, Prisons
XVIII. assumed his place as one of the
long hne of kings who have reigned in
the city, and as he acknowledged the
plaudits of his people the members of
his court advanced to the throne, tax
ing their places on either side of the
sovereigns, forming a most effective
grouping, with the two small pages
placed in graceful positions near their
queen.
The young queen had entered un-
crowned, and had been so seated upon
the throne but as the music once more
burst forth tiny love of a figure en-
tered-Cupid, bearing upon q white |
satin cushion the crown, which Priscus
placed upon her wavy brown hair.
The lights died down. The entire |
auditorium was in darkness for a mo- |
ment. The music crashed. Once more
the lights flashed on. And Priscus and
his fair young queen stood revealed, |
the queen crowned with the sparkling |
jewels, and Priscus, in all his kingly |
magnificence shown to be J. Harvey |
Bayliss, the ruling monarch-Priscus
XVIII.
