ROYAL PEARLS FOR BRIDE

LONDON, April 30—Lustrous pearls, the favorite jewel of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon were the wedding present from her prince, the Duke of York. She received a pearl sautoir, which is a modern piece of jewelry something like a necklace, only longer. The royal sweethearts selected it together shortly before the wedding while visiting a jeweler.

The sautoir is composed of several hundred pearls of medium size, with half a dozen diamonds set in at intervals. At the bottom is a larger diamond and finally a pearl drop of great beauty. The whole is mounted on platinum instead of the customary silk thread.
