'''What the Bride and Bridesmaids Will Wear To-day.'''

[[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Miss Jean Leckie]], who is to be married to-day to [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]], has chosen for her wedding-gown a singularly beautiful and uncommon design, inasmuch as the robe and train are carried out almost entirely in Spanish lace draped over silver tissue.

In addition to the glitter of the silver upon which the lace is posed, silver threads have been wrought in the lace intermingled with a liberal use of pearls, the whole forming an effect that is of the utmost loveliness.

The full Court train is draped from the shoulders, and is made of Spanish lace, spangled net, and pearls, one most effective item of the scheme being the ropes of chiffon that edge the train, which are caught into billows by chains of pearls of graduated sizes, and another the huge horseshoe of white heather and orange blossom that appears at one corner of the train.

[[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Miss Leckie]]'s bridesmaids are sure to look extremely pretty in their charming toilettes of ivory filet posed upon silk to match, with touches of azure chiffon to brighten the scheme and a broad band of blue taffetas at the hem of the skirt.

Trails of delicate blue chiffon roses, caught together by true lovers' knots made of blue ribbon, adorn both skirt and corsage, the latter a very pretty design slashed upon the shoulders to show an elegant chemisette beneath.

For Mrs. Leckie, the bride's mother, Mme. Duprée, of Lee, London, S.E., who is responsible for the trousseau, has made a charmingly effective gown, in which grey "Liberty" satin, écru net sewn with silver spots, grey velvet, and pink chiffon mingle. A sketch of the corsage of this toilette is shown on this page, as well as a full-length illustration of the bridal robe. Mrs. Leckie has chosen to wear with her grey raiment a very becoming grey bonnet that repeats the pretty shades of grey and pink employed in the gown by means of rose and plumage trimmings and pink chiffon strings.
