    The train has a red metallic cloth building with black satin roof and windows.  White satin outlines the window trim, fence and dome, with sequins and stars accentuating the skirt and train.
    The headpiece was made of blue velvet with gold and silver trim.  Mrs. Bornie Davenport, of Calif. (the former Miss Naumann) carries a quill.
    She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Naumann.  Mrs. Naumann made the gown herself.
