PRINCESS MARY'S BRIDAL

There is a tradition that every bride should wear on her wedding day thing old, something new, something bor rowed, something blue." Princess Mary has kept to it.

Beauty is ap elus ve thing, even in clothes, but it haa ben seized for the making of the royal wedding dress: ita gleam of silver and pearls proved a rare setting for the ample loveliness of the King's daughter. The underdress

of striped lame, cut with a square neck and reaching to the ankles. Over it, made princess fashion, was a veiling of white marquisette, made with
shaped neck and embroidered in English ross and foliage worked in rekef with thousands of tiny pearls and diamonds on a faint lattice design: at either side there was a fall of the marquisette and the transparent embroidered sleeves are three-quarter length. The girdle was of silver cord studded with triple rows of pearls, and a train of orange blossom with a silver stem, was arranged to fall from the waist down the left side of the dress.
The material of the train was of silver and duchesse satin, made at Braintree by Sir Frank Warner and Son, and it was so woven that it required no lining, It was a little over four yards long, and where it was fastened to the shoulders the Queen's gift of old Honiton was arranged collar fashion and fell in a cascade of draperies at either side of the train's length Old Ince the most feminine of all treasure-boards, on ac count of its age-tists, requires delicate treatment, and it was tenderly blended with the splendours of the silver white train, which in ita turn was embroidered in the emblems of the Empire, so that the gown was in fact all-British in its making and its symbols.
Indian silvet, with its curious lustre, was used in the embroidery of English ross, and there were silver thistles and shamocks. They were the border em- broideries, and some of them had tiny blue velvet centres; across the width of the train were finely outlined the lotus of India, the maple leaf of Canada, the tree fern of New Zealand, and the wattle of Australia The train was edged with a silver picot braid Serd pearls, baro- que pearls, minute diamonds, and silver. bullion all went to the decoration of the i dress, and 30 or 40 girls have been engaged on this work.
The veil was of silk tulle end was edged with pearls, and with it the Princess wore a tiara of orange buis arranged s'mply in triple rows. A pelerine wrap of finest Russian ermine was made by Revillon, and this she wore over her wedding dress on her drive to the Abbry. BRIDESMAIDS' GOWNS,
The bridesmaids Princess Maud, Lady Rachel Cavendish, Lady Mary Thynne, Lady Victoria Cambridge, Lady Doris Gordon-Lennox, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Lady Diana Bridgeman, and Lady May Cambridge-were dressed alike, save that the two last-named had shorter frocks owing to their youth, straight gowns of cloth of silver inade panels opening at the side to show the under-role of ivory and satin anglaise the girdag were elubroidered "in mother of
