Princess Mary's gowns always at- tract attention, and that worn at the recent drawing room at Buckingham Palace has been described at lenz!nl not only in public print but in many letters coming from those who were fortunate enough to be present. It was very simple, of pleated silver tuile over cream satin, with a plain bhodice of silver tissue, but a unique feature was the bands of scarlet rose- buds which answered for sleeves and the garland of the same, which ex- tended from the left shoulder across! the bodice and ended on the right n long festoons of flowers and loops of silver ribbons. It was most effec- tive, as were the rubies which the royal bride wore as a circlet around her head and as a necklace. A few flowers were tucked in her hair and a splendid ostrich fan of vivid red hung by a chain of rubies and dfa-; monds from her belt The Princess is parital to vivid hues. like scarlet and greens. and as shell. L fiiM received a handsome fortune in these two varieties of stones. rubies and emeralds, many of her evening gowns have been planned to harmomize wnh' b them. She wears sapphires often and usually with afternoon gowns ot satin and cloth. and one of her dark- blue toques has an aigrette held oy priceless sapphires. But rubies and emeralds are her favorites and she made her superstitious relatives shud- der because she insisted on having an emerald in her encagement ring instead of the conventional diamond. who is the STEINWAY PIANOS. That Princess Mary shares none of the old fashioned fears of her kindred was obvious when she refused to take issue with the thrifty master of the. king's household, Lord Chesterfleld, who sold the handsome black horses and_the equipage which carried her to Westminster Abbey for the nup- tials to an undertaker. The Vis- count Lascelles. fearing his wife might be unhappy when this became known, offered to buy back the horses and the carriage, but the prin- cess merely laughed. Jet black horses have no vogue in London except for funerals, and state_carriages are as obsolete as hoop sKirts. The princess is quite in symnathy with Lord Chesterfleld in not w¥hing to keep the useless things when he cbuld deposit a fat sum for them in the treasury. She likewise thinks that nothing so far removed as this can effect her happiness or cast any sort of shadow over her chosen life. But other court officials are very glum over the economical move which allows a funeral manager to advertise his ware and to name the nuptial horses as those whith will | Great Neck, Long Island, and on their land the puppet show in the gard. equipped to take care of the youns- sters at play and at meal and sleepy téme, and this custom is also gaining many advocates in this country.

Boston has just taken over his well known res!dence in that city and con- | verted it into a lasting memorial of the intrepid patriot. Hancock in- herited this old mansion from his uncle, from whom he also received a! vast fortune for those days, some- thing approximating $200,000, and the business which he was conducting sd successfully when the wreck of his brig Liberty set afoot the flame of revolution in the colonists. Hancock was first president of the Continental Congre: of means, he was an Important soclal figure, and the venerable mansion, now municipal property in Boston, was frequently the scene of famous political gatherings, accompanied by the long and inevitable feasts which ‘were the custom of the day. Hancock dined Gen. Washington in his home, and he also offered the first formal hospitality to Admiral D’Estaing and the officers of the French fleet when they landed in Boston.
