THE MARRIAGE OF PRINCE WALDEMAR AND PRINCESS MARIE d'ORLEANS.

The religious ceremony in connection with the marriage of Prince Waldemar of Denmark with Princess Marie of Orleans took place yesterday at Eu.

The company included, besides all the Princes and Princesses of the Royal House of France, the Queen of Denmark, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, the Duchess of Cumberland, the Duchess of Coburg, the Count of Flanders, the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, Prince George of Wales, Princesses Louise, Victoria, and Maud of Wales, Princess Czartoryska, Duke Philip of Coburg, Duke Ferdinand of Coburg, and Prince Antoine of Montpensier.

At a quarter past one all the guests assembled in the Grand Gallery on the ground floor of the chateau. There they were joined at past one by the bride and bridegroom, with the French princes and princesses, and a procession was formed the chapel. After pronouncing the marriage benediction, the Archbishop of Rouen delivered an address, dwelling particularly upon the historic ties between France and Denmark. From the chapel the company proceeded to the White Saloon, where a Protestant marriage ceremony took place, co~cluding with an address in Danish Pastor An Jansen, chaplain to the Queen of Denmark.

At the conclusion of this service, all the princes present signed the marriage ceitifica e. The company then returned to the Grande Salle de Guise, where the wedding breakfast was given.

At seven o’clock the bride and bridegroom left for the Due d’Aumale’s chateau at Chantilly, where the honeymoon will passed. The Daily News has the following about the bride's trousseau : One of the first subjects of remark is the almost flat form of the skirts, which are wholly guiltless of the hideous and unnatural prominences to which the eye has of late become but too well inured.

The gowns of the young bride have been cut in very different fashion. They mould the figure in lines that would enchant a sculptor. As every one knows, a French bride has the happiness of having three weddinggown —one for the civil marriage, one for the signing of the contract, and one for the religious ceremony.
On the first occasion Princess Marie wore a skirt of blue plush in the shade called Baltic blue, rather paler than peacock, but with similar sugges tions of green, like a shoaling sea. Over this skirt opened a tunic of ribbed silk in the same shade of blue with the plush. The bodice was also made of this silk, but it was partly covered by a Figaro vest of Baltic blue plush, which scarcely reached to the waist, and was trimmed with fine passementerie in the same shade of blue as the plush. A small capote of gathered plush completed the costume. It was lined with golden-brown velvet, and tied on with narrow strings of goldenbrown velvet ribbon. The travelling dress is of cloth in a beautiful shade of grey, known to modistes as “old silver.” The skirt is arranged in pleats which fall in straight and simple folds. The drapery of the tunic is formed by pleats which cross and resetoss each other. The casaque bodice is trimmed hussar-fashion with raised knots of old silver passementerie. A walking-dress is also grey, being made of velvet in the shade of that colour known as frightened mouse.” One of the visiting costumes is made of glace silk, the colour being that of the wild pink convolvulus. The pleated skirt is surmounted by a drapery of similar silk. The bodice is made with a plastron, collar, revers, and cuffs of velvet in the deep shade of reddish plum colour known as prune de Monsieur.”

The evening and dinner dresses are made with a simplicity which is all the more emphatic by reason of the richness of the materials and the dazzling brilliancy of the jewels with which they hate intended to be worn. dinner-gown of light ruby velvet, for instance, is made with a perfectly plain skirt, while the half-tow bodice and elbow sleeves have no trimming save a group of ruby-tinted feathers on the shoulder, the fronds of which are powdered with diamonds.

A similar bunch of jewelled feathers is to be worn in the hair. An evening dress, made expressly to be worn with dog-collar of emeralds and diamonds given by the Duchesse de Chartres, is veritable cloud of reed-coloured tulle over satin of the same soft shade of green. A long trail of water-lilies appears to he fastening the draperies on one side of the skirt. The bodice, with its long point, has a flat ruche of tulle for trimming, which crosses in front like a fichu. It is dress for naiad.

The Princess’s presentation Court dress made with a petticoat of white satin embroidered with roses, carnations, and corn-flowers, all in silver thread. The bodice and train are of white brocade, the design roses being'embroidered in silver. The front of the pointed bodice is embroidered with an exquisite silver tracery of mingled roses, carnations, and corn-flowers. A tuft of white feathers powdered with silver is fastened on each shoulder. Round the entire train of dazzling silver brocade runs a double trimming of similar snowy plumes, each frond of which has its share of powdered silver. Diamonds are to be worn with this Court robe, which is a mass of very, snowy whiteness.

The gifts sent by relatives and friends could not be counted.
