This beautiful and original wedding gown which Anne Lindsay Clark wore, when she became the bride of young John Roosevelt, son of the U.S. President, was sketched exclusively for NEA Ber- vice and the Hongkong Telegraph. Made of 20 yards of French organdle, 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 veil is longer than the train at the back, short and circular in front. Matching shirred ribbon. tled 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.. Beston,
