It will surely be one of the greatest weddings of the age, ami nothing like It is known in social history < n this side of the water.

She is tall and grain ml, hut scarcely looks the twenty years which stand to her credit The WoildliiK Gown Her wedding gown is of satin, shin. merlng with the tints of a pearl Stiff and rich and thick as a board, just the \y < I S \ p r A. 1 ) / % mk ■SfW Triinaariui (laid* unit Knits exquisite fabric which should be nacre,I to swept-fmvd girls entering upon thl , dignity of matronhood. As it is to bfc ft wedding, ths conguse ts cut well up to th« throat, and the sleeves are full and long, The Ml fltirm* skirt with Its Immense train, Is trimmed generously with lacs worth a large.sized fortune, j no veil of superb old point lace will fall from a fteur de lys tiara of diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom. Her mother’s gift, a necklace of costly sapphire* and diamonds, will give the touch of blue without which no bride could expect good luck. Miss Bloantt ban a moat generous sup- ply of Jewels with which to bedeck her¬ self upon her weddlnK morn If she ho elects, for gifts of jewelry to the value of half a million dollars have already been bestowed upon her by her own rel¬ atives, the family of the bridegroom, and the hoHtn of friends who delight to honor the first bride In one of the most popular families In the whole of New York. Hut she said to one of her girl friends just before leaving for Lenox that she was sentimental enough to wish to wear only gifts of her mother and her be¬ trothed on her wedding day. All of the exquisite trosseau has been made In Paris, and only a few of the dainty bits of lace and silk have been un¬ packed. There are dozens of handmade and embroidered sets of lingerie, in silk, linen lace and cambric as soft and fine as the old thread cambric of our grand- mot tier’s time. Every piece bears the stamp of Baris, and for the most, part is of snowy white, even to the ribbons; only ft few of the lacy ga rnuntn fire run with the fain lest shade of baby blue. A Mile of Hosiery. There is hosiery enough to last a life¬ time, white and black silk, and every j shade of silk to match exactly every i gown in the elaborate trousseau. There arc costumes for coaching, yachting*, golfing, garden parties, receptions, teas, halls and quantities of house and morn ing gowns. The most noticeable features of these combinations of cloth, pique, satin chiffon, crepon and spangled tulle are, that sleeves are becoming decidedly smaller, that neck trimmings are very voluminous, and that the new kind of petticoat for the very full dress skirts is of heavy silk cut on the cross and lined and faced with stiff thick linings. Tie parasols, gloves, slippers, shoes, bonnets and hats match with exquisite nieeness the costumes which they com¬ plete. Mr* Spin in-'* Huy ii 1 (ion ii. Mrs. William Douglass Sloane, who Is almost as girlish-looking and fair as her daughter, has a regal-looking gown to wear upon the wedding day. It is of heavy while silk made with high neck corsage and very full sleeves of satin covered with gold and lurquotte span¬ gled tulle. Knots of turquoise blue vel¬ vet catch the lllmy stuff here arid ttiere; the full train has a full ruche of the glit¬ tering tulle. Her jewels will bo her fa¬ mous turquoise and diamonds. The fair bridesmaids are to wear deli¬ cately tinted gowns of silk elaborately trimmed with spangled tulle and mg hats of tulle laden wilh flowers.

A Wedding Invitation. : A feature which Miss i I new Sloane will Introduce at her welding will certainly I prove very papular with the brides to he. 1 She will have two of the housemaids dressed In simply made gowns of white 'silk with befrilled caps and aprons of wnlte chiffon. Their duties will be to I escort the guests to the library and j | morning her of wedding rooms, where gifts the to countless bo displayed num. are on tables draped with white silk. | coming Another brides striking would feature, like which that the to copy, Is upon the return of the bridal couple they : will And a splendid mansion, furnished completely from garret to cellar, fully equipped with servants ajtd stores, and added to this will be the royal allowance of $.'> 0,000 per year, the portion which comes to all the grandchildren of Wtlllam H . Vanderbilt upon bis or her wedding day. The groom Is rich by Inheritance, ami 1ms a magnlthent home on the Hudson, near where the Iron works which have made the Burden millions nre located, Voting Mr. Burden, for he Is only three and twenty, ts above all things else a business man, and It Is quite likely that he nnd his bride will spend much of their time on Ills estate, so that he can give the same attention to the works which tie has given them during the past two years. It is almost a wonderful thing to re- late in these days of frivolity of a young fellow so well endowed with worldly goods that even during the period of his courtship ho allowed himself only Sal- urday and Sunday In the elty. devoting all the rest of his lime to the work which he had untaken of his own free will and accord. Surely the Vanderbilts who founded the family fortune would smile approval upon this union, though It Is n mooted question what ttie man who made tho millions whk'h have lately gone to France would say and do if he saw the plans for the palace the Countess de Castellane pro¬ poses to rales- F. F, SUMMER TOGS FOR BABY SWELLS. ELABORATE OUTFIT FOR LITTLE TOTS OF SIX OR SEVEN. MINIATURE! PEOPLE IN CHIFFON AND BALLOON SLEEVES. Some of tlie Itlch Youngsters Are Clothed In Plain fftylem. Men and women are only boyn and girls grown tall, and children’s fash¬ ions are only the abbreviated styles of their elders. The little maid of five and six and seven has a wardrobe quite as elaborate and almost as expen¬ sive as that of her grown-up Bister. The little skirte are the regulation width and the godet pirate are stiffen¬ ed with genuine haircloth, the sleeves ft* sF * M’ ■< 1) v T ? •’I”’ If! y A Dnlnty Style. are big, bigger, biggest, and the bats are morsels of accord eon-plea ted chiffon and flowers of every line. I took a long breath and wondered what new glory nnd splendor could be provided for the little maid when she blow lined into womanhood, a» I watch¬ ed several tnothrns with well-filled purees buy the outfit their little daugh¬ ters were to take to seashore and mountain. The days of the simple white linen apron, high-necked and long-sleeved, and the best dress of dainty cashmere with frill* of lace at neck and hands, are things of the past, and no self-re¬ specting little girl of six would he con¬ tent with them. Tn their place here come gowns of dntntily tucked gingham and chambrny, with guimpos and full sleeves of embroidered mull, for morn¬ ing wear: yachting suits of blue and crimson flannel with broad white sailor * *^T % t h (2 1 7/ t \ (■y k \ The Sew Summer Roy collars: afternoon dresses of daintily flowered silks trimmed after (he fashion of their mammas in llutings of lace nnd chiffon, and bunches and bows of riblxms. One pretty old custom which has come hack is for the dressing of small feet in half socks and strapped slippers. Of course this is exclusively for house wear, yet some mothers for outings merely substitute stout little tan shoes for the slippers. Her Toilet Aecessurie* Chief among toilet accessories with which it well-dressed child is provided today are her handkerchiefs, her gloves, her fans mid her parasols. Of hand¬ kerchiefs site has an abundance; for morning use. a simple square of linen with a tiny hemstitched Ivmier;' for afternoons, gay little trifles of em- broidered mull with a narrow lace edg¬ ing. fler gloves are of kid, two and ■i l J m 7 m T-'g > E , Ii i- m/m f7# V± if® 1 v > I r> m | w j j i Ready fop the .Seniiide. i | j sometimes three buttoned, they match her little gowns ami wraps, and fit as nicely as any lady’s in the i-aud, and this little modem child would as soon think of going without her shoes -is without her cloves Her paras-ds are little befril’ed white and pink ana blue silk affairs, which afford quite as much delight to the tiny omobk as they do discomfort and an- norance to the people who come in vio¬ lent contact with them. w)mt the Little Hea Wear. The little men have their trunkload of good clothes, sailor suits of cloth ard linen and sinfflmin. Blouse shirt waists rii'h in embroidered rutiles and frdled with lace accompany the little dress suits of fine cloth, silk braided, and gorgeous velvet suits for the cool evenings. They have gold shirt studs a id cuff buttons and derbies and silk h its off of the same pattern us those of their fathers and uncles. These Itlch Tuts Ureas Plainly. In striking and pleasing contrast, to these little men and women of the pros¬ perous class are the children of the Many times millionaire. Little Dorothy Whitney, the seven-year-old daughter of the es-Heoretary of the Navy, and little Gladys Vanderbilt, who lives just across the street fri«n each other, have never had a befrilled. lace and chiffon trimmed gown in all of their nappy little lives. For every day they have dresses of snowy white linen ami lawn, with hand- stitched hems and tinted ruflles at throat and wrists, every stitch made by hand, their little skirts and under¬ waists and flannels are soft and fine as silk, hut there is no trimming on them, and their chief beauty lies in the fact that 'they are made by band and of the very best goods procurable. For driving and dhurch these little maids have gowns of white cashmere, and tlieir cloaks are of roughly finished heavy white cloth for cool weather, and of heavy white pique for spring and summer. Their hats are white, and their first clothes of decided blue or brown will be given them when they arrive at the dignity of nine years. These little maidens, who live in such splendid houses and have nurses and maids to care for them in the most watchful manner, have no curls nor frizzes: their hair is worn closely erop- ped. so that when they grow into big girls they will have a splendid, (thick, silky suit, which will last them u life¬ time.

All of the baby pins, buttons, rings, nre put away with the soft silk robes anil the lace-trimmed silk gowns they wore as little babies. When they are grown up young ladies their first elaborate gown will lie a gen¬ uine delight to them, and they will re- joiee at the simple pearl necklace with its diamond clasp which every rosebud has when she makes her dehut, and which is her sole ornament until a lover puts the gem-studded engagement ring on her finger and her relatives be¬ gin to shower jewels upon her whirl: are deemed unfit for lilylike girlhood, but a good nnd perfect adornment for a fair young matron. Demand Pay In Gold. After coreful thought on the money in¬ terests of this country, I think 1 have a tew suggvsllon to make that If carried out will bring th< Bust to cry for free sil- ver, or a different system of banking. They aie as follows: Lei our farmers’ plant a diversity of crops, and for them, and the laboring class to demand gold for all they sell, and take nothing else, except in sums of 12.50 ami then, demand silver for that, l mean by this, that the farmers should sell all the products for gold, and take nothing else in payment for their wages out gold. We have a product that will always bring gold. We raised this year 10,000.000 bales of cotton at 5 cents, which brougni in gold $250,000,000. In demanding gold for everything, we will not hurt our banks South, for they have a very small circulation, but it will give the Northern banks what they do not want. if our papers would take this idea up, and insist upon our fanners and laborers demanding gold for every thing, it will soon make the South the richest country in the world, as we can produce every- tiling that any other country in the world can, an 1 we will soon be able to teach our rv'OpTo to manufacture everything, ever silk and laces. We also have all the !**.m r tls in our mines, developed and un- iewlop d. As the Hon. Thomas Henry, cf Tennessee said. ‘That if we had a wall so high built around the South, that no no could pet in, or out, In a few years we would be the richest country in the world.” That is so, but as we can’t do that. th«' next best thing to do, at present tr>, to demand gold for everything we have for sale, whether it is labor, or products cf the soil, and when we have anything to ii•> e c t, buy our own securities, for th.n k°eps the moiuy at home. We only want * : i e within ourselves for a few years. io rave more money than we know what \o do with. I hope the papers wui try to educate our people up to this HPe. 15.

MEMPHIS “SOUND MONEY” CONVEN¬ TION WAS CUT AND DRIED. NO BUSINESS MEN WEIIE ALLOWED TO SPEAK. The Atlanta Men Will Call a Meet- lng of Their Own. By Southern Associated Press. Atlanta. Ga., May 25.—The Atlanta dele¬ gation to the Memphis convention return¬ ed this morning and with their return the announcement is made that another con¬ vention will be called, the call of which will permit a full discussion of the finan¬ cial question. The Atlanta delegates were supporters of t.h° financial policy of the Administration and the announcement of the dissatisfactloi at the Memphis con¬ vention was received with surprise or»\ It seems that the delegates complain that the fntire affair was cut and dried and nobody had any showing to advance any argument that conflicted with the proar- ’•ar-ged prdsrr ng the prominent members of the Atlanta delagation were Mr. T. B. Neal, R. T. Maddox and C. A. ^oilier, bankers*, and A. K. Cox and M. T. Inman. The Georgia delegation in cau¬ cus before the convention decided to offer a resolution su eves ting the unconditional repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State banks. It seems that they were cut off by the resolution adopted immediately on the assembling of the convention that all resolutions should be referred to the committee on platform without debate. Such resolutions as were presented by the Georgia delegates were never heard from again. The dissatisfaction of the Georgia delegation is expressed in the movement begun on the return trip to At¬ lanta to call another convention which would permit full discussion of the finan¬ cial Question and which would be domina¬ ted by business men instead of politicians. It is claimed by members of the Atlan¬ ta delegation that not a business man was permitted to open his mouth at the Mem¬ phis convention, the only speeches made being those of Congressmen Josiah Pat¬ terson, of Tennessee; Richard Clark, of Alabama, and Catching*, of Mississippi. Nothing has yet been done towards the calling of the new' convention further than the announcement of the determina¬ tion that it is to be held and that, it will be a business mens’ convention. Members of the Atlanta delegation in in¬ terview's on the subject admit that the movement is under way and that the call for another convention has been decided on. This step was agreed upon in confer¬ ence with delegates from other States who discussed the matter on the return trip. Air. Komar, vice president of the Atlan¬ ta National bank in an interview today expressed great surprise at the action of the convention in declaring for the aboli¬ tion of the National banks. Mr. Romare was one of those who took prominent part in sending a delegation from here to the Memphis convention. He had no idea that any attacks on National banks was contemplated and in today’s inter¬ view says that fortunately the Memphis convention cannot repeal the National bank act, but that must bo done by Congress, and that it w r ill not do it. GENERAL AND PAUrXULAR Matthew W. Bender, of Albany, N. Y., has given $20,<XX) for rue erection of a hy¬ gienic laboratory in that city. Alayor Swift, of Chicago, IIJ., has ?>p- pointed a third clergyman, Rev. Clifford W. Barnes, a garbage-box inspector. It is to be a Goodyear for the Govern¬ ment of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In¬ dians. He is an Indian preacher, with an excellent education. John G. White, of Cleveland, O., lias a noteworthy collection of books relating to chess. It is known to chees players all over the world. It was originated by his father, the late Bushnell White, and con sists of about 0,000 volumes. Joseph Jefferson has arrived at his sum¬ mer home, Crow’s Nest, on his first visit since he left for his winter engagements. With the exception of Thomas Jefferjon, who arrives next week, the entire Jef¬ ferson family are now there. It is announced that a sufficient amount of money has been handed in to furn.sh an adequate memorial to the late Francis Parltman, to be erected in Massachus its, on the spot where the house stood in which he lived during the summer tor a large part of his life. The trustees of the Newberry library, Chicago, have issued a tasteful little book in memory of their late librar.an, Dr. William ± oole. Tne volume contains a “memorial sketch” drawn from the min¬ utes of the board of trustees, a good por¬ trait, and bibliography. Every year the bravest deed done in saving life in the British dom.nions is marked by the award of the Stanhope gold medal by the Royal Humane Society. It was given this year to William Mug- ford of Torquay, who was caught in a sewer where he was at work with three companions when the sewer was flooded by a sudden thunder storm, and saved two of the men by holding them by main strength for seven hours until relief came. If We Knew. If we knew the woe and heartache Waiting for us down the road; If our lips could taste the wormwood, If our backs could feel the load. Would we waste the day in wishing For a time that ne’er can be? Would we wait with such impatience x or our ships to come from sea? if we knew the baby lingers. Pressed against the window pane, Would be cold and stiff tomorrow— Never trouble us again— Would the bright eyes of our darling Catch the frown upon our brow? Would the print of rosy lingers Vex us then as mey do now? Ah! those quiet ice cold fingers, How they point our memories back To the hasty words ami ac’.ions Strewn along our backward track? How these little hands remind us, As in snowy grace they lie, Not to .scatter thorns, but roses. For our reaping by and by. Strange! we never prize the music Till the sweet voiced bird is flown; Strange! that we should slight the violet Till the lovely flowers have gone; Sirarge! that Summer skies and sunshine Never seem one-half so fair As when the winter’s snowy pinions Shake the white down in the air. Lips from which the seal of silence None but God can roll away Never blossomed in such beauty As adorns the mouth today And sweet words that freight our memory With their beautiful perfume. Come to us with sweet accents Through the portals of the tomb. Let us gather up the sunbeams Lying all around our path: Let us keep the wheat and roses, Casting out the thorns and chaff, Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of today, With the patient hand removirg />li the briars from our way.
