UNUSUAL DISPLAY Of
PHOTOS At ELLIS STUDIO
Foreign Scenes Assembled
From Vacation Trip Through
Sections Of Europe.

A charming collection of photo
yraphs Innde by W Shewell Ellis dur
ing his vacation trip TO Europe last
sammer. In on view in the Ellis stu
40. on tho twelfth floor Of the du Pont
building for few days.
The prints shown. numbering about
90, are all enlsrgements from pocket
ramera negatives and depict the in
Innate and artistic side OF the sub
jects chosen. rather than tho hack
neyed records usually available
Tho list shows the appeal made 10
the authors Imagination by the de-
narture OF tho steamer from tho New
York dock. by the aid Of tugs nosing
her out into the stream. the skyline
of New York City. and the ocean
voyage
Bits Of rural England, tho Thames
side London and Oxford are chosen
with an eye to the picturesque and
artistic. Paris and France are similar
/ ~ chosen. and Swiss snows. noun
! tains and lakes and Holland canal
dyke and harbor scenes, az we'll as
costumes and group studies also ap-
pear.
Many OF the latter were made on
| the island OF Marken, where a Sunday
gave the fortunate chance OF finding
! the fishing boats collected in the
basin. closely packed together. and the
| fishers and their families IN pic
turesque gala costume.
/ Very striking from the artistic
point are some OF the views OF these
boats, with the reflections OF high
lights broken up by ripples on the
water into startling patterns, which
however, compose" into the picture
at a little distance. Groups OF girls
with the quaint Dutch caps and one
of boys sailing their toy boats on tht
basin OF a stone fountain are notable
The difference between these photo
graphs and the usual attempts Of
snapshot" travellers lies in the feel
ing for composition and choice oi
proper lighting; the usual propensity
TO dare anything. with the usual dis
tressing results, is conspicuous by
absence.
The collection is well worth studl
for many reasons. II VIII remain OF
show for this week and next.

TROUSSEAU COMPLETE
Gown and Train Woven Espec-
tally for the Oc-
casion.

The charge that democratic America
is interested in royalty after all seems
substantiated by the wide spread interest
in this country in the details Of the
wedding of Princess Mary on February
2S in Westminster Abbey, where 1000
guests will witness the ceremony.
The description Of the trousseau Of the
Princess reminds one Of the fairy tale
princess who had new gown every day.
Especially alluring 10 femininity Is her
bridal dress Of cloth of silver, with an
over dress of silver lace and embroidered
with pearls. Her court train, which is
four yards long and fifty inches wide,
| has been woven Of silver shot Duchess
satin, embroidered with Indian silver
and silk, with a shawl collar of real lace.
II was woven Ivy an ex-soldier, q de-
scendant of tho first weavers in England.
| The veil will be the one worn by Queen
Mary at her wedding.
The bridesmaids dresses will be OF
silver tissue and lace and their hair Will
be wreathed with silver rose buds
The wedding shoes for the Princess are
the gift of the City of Norwich, presented
in a satin lined gold casket, and her
wedding gloves are the present OF the
London association of glove makers,
made from the choicest selection OF
10000 reindeer hides
The Edinburgh factory, which made
the King and Queens wedding cake,wil
make the official wedding cake. Several
other cakes will be presented one
standing six feet high.
The Princess will wear away gown OF
powder blue charmeuse, embroidered or
panels from yoke to hip, ip silk and pale
coral beads and crystals, with q loosely
tied sash. and wide sleeves. Her wrap vii
be OF moleskin,
The honeymoon will probably include
a visit 10 Italy where the bridal pai
will visit the Villa Medici near Florence
The first part of the honeymoon will b'
spent at the home of the Earl anC
Countess Of Bradford near Shifnal
, Shropshire.
