wonderful dress fashioned for a California hefress, sweet-faced girl who wanted something entirely new for her wedding gown. After long consultation they finally designed q dress with point lace sleeves and yoke, so deicately joined at the shoul- oers that there seemed to be no seam and no break in the pattern of the lace.
 The body of white satin very plain and tight around the waist Below the waist the skirt widened into a very elegant satin tunic, whose long, narrow points spread over an underSkirt all of point lace, with long lace train. Underneath all the point lace there was the most elegant white satin lining, making a gown that was a dream in beauty well as in price. Lit tie wonder that the cost of the materials was S20,000.
 MISS PORTER'S GOWN.
 Miss Porter, daughter of the American ambassador, is a very pretty young woman and vast faVorite with President Loubet who admires American cleverness, evident ly thinking it superior to French chic This young woman recently attended an afternoon occasion all dressed in painted dress of white silk lawn, the latest im- provement upon India muslin. The overs were pansies, very delicately painted to form a panel down one side of the tunic with continuation of the flowers along the hem. The yoke was a mass of silver tulle, brought across the waist from shoul- der to shoulder in fine folds An immense picture hat was turned up at one side, to shelter a big white rose.
 In the art students colony there was a wedding a few days ago. Miss French, dear little English girl artist, married a young American, newspaper man, who is employed by one of the big American papers as it's Paris correspondent during the exposition.
 The wedding was a delicious affair, all roses and good times, with a merry little feast served from Maries queer little res- taurant in the art students quarter. Marie, wishing to please Ia belle Americana" outdid herself and served, along with the ices, large dish of corned beef hash and another of codish cakes, the secret of whose manufacture she had learned from New England girl, years ago.
 But the brides wedding dress was a thing to be noticed. It was so modish yet so unambitous. White poplin was the ma terial, that new poplin no heavier than satin, but just as lVstrous and much more durable. To begin at the ground and go up, the skirt was made with deep flounee of chiffon around the foot. and over the chiffon fiounce fell broad piece of Eu- genie lace, of the soft Spanish web. The founee was cunningy set under the lace that it gave a tunic effect.
 A princess tunie of poplin was bordered with lace and trimmed with q panel of the same The yoke was of taffeta, fulled across the front while the shoulders were finished with punches of chiffon falling in gentle cascade.
 wedding gown of this description can be made for about s25, the chief expense being the lace, which can be purchased for much or little, as may please the pur- chaser
 THE LOOSE GOWNS.
 All the tendencies are toward a return to the loose flowing robes of the days when high art fourished and before the corset was abused. The long. graceful lines the flowing outness the lack of the dividing line at the waist. noticed in the new models, indicate that a change is taking place for the better in dress
 Just as a house must rest upon Its foun- dalton, so must a woman's gown de- pend upon the garments which she wears underneath. As the flowing robes come in
