This beautiful and original wedding gown which Anne Lindsay Clark were, when she became the bride of young John Roosevelt, son of the U.S. President, was sketched exclusively for NEA Scr- vice and the longkong Telegraph. Made of 20 yards of French organdie, it is lavishly embroidered in a leaf spray pattern with 620 yards of shirred satin ribbon. The dull side of the ribbon is used. making a nice contrast with the rather shiny surface of the organdle. The frothy vell is longer than the train at the back. short and elrcular in front. Matching whirred ribbon, tied in a bow across the deep V neck-line, and quaint puffed sleeves, add a demure note to the otherwise sophisticated
gown. The ensemble was designed and made by Hickson, Inc., Boston.
