THREE DRESSING GOWNS
The St. Petersburg world of women is in a flutter of admiration over three dressing gowns, to. see which everybody is making a pilgrimage. They are the gift of the Tzarina to the Princess Alexandria of Greece, who is about to be married to the Grand Duke Paul of Hussia. One of these phenomena in fur. is made of white silver fox, trimmed with a wide border of real gold thread. The second is <>f sable, and fastened in front with six clasps composed of real pearls, which are said to be strtkingly effective among the costly fur. But <he most gorgeous of the three gowns, all of which seem to have ■ been made after patterns taken from fafry-tales, is that which is made of tho fur of the rare socalled "blue" fox, and has, as its only ornament, a 'belt made entirely of diamonds.
