ternoon Dresses all of White in
Many Materials.

Paris, June 14.-June is the white
month, the month of brides and gradu-
alton dresses, the month of the queen s
drawing room and Of garden parties!
All the art that once was spent upon
colored fabrics has been put upon white
this season. White silk mouseline de
sole, as delicate as a mosquito wing,
and encrusted with sparkling scales. or
painted until it is finer than Vatican
group. The plain webby substance is
used for yelling and for draperies. while
the painted breadths are used for tunic
and body.
They tell over here of the efforts
made to satisfy certain wealthy Ameri-
can girls whose bridal gowns have been
made here this spring. One of the stor-
les is of the wonderful dress fashioned
for California heiress, a sweet-faCed
girl who wanted something entirely
new for her wedding gown. After a
long consultation they finally designed
a dress with point lace sleeves and yoke
so delicately Joined at the shoulders
that there seemed to be no seam and
no break in the pattern of the lace.
The body was of white satin; very
plain and tight about the waist. Below
the waist the skirt widened into very
elegant satin tunic, whose long. narrow
points spread over an underskirt all of
point lace, with a long lace train. In
derneath all the point lace there was
the most elegant white satin lining
making a gown that was a dream of
beauty as well as in price. Little Won
der that the cost of the materials was
$4,000
MISS PORTER'S GOWN.
Miss Porter daughter OF the Ameri-
san ambassador, is a very pretty young
woman and a vast favorite with Presi-
dent Loubet, who admires American
cleverness, evidently thinking it super
Tor to French chic. This young Wom-
an recently attended an afternoon oc-
casion all dressed in painted dress of
white silk lawn, the latest improve
ment upon India muslin. The flowers
were panSieS, very delicately painted to
form panel down one side of the tunic
with a continuation of the flowers along
the hem. The yoke was mass of sill
yer tulle, brought across the waist from
shoulder 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, a dear little English girl artist,
married a young American news

all roses and good times, with a merry
little feast served from Marie's queer
little restaurant in the art students
quarter Marie, wishing to please Ia
belle Americana" outdid herself and
served, along with the ices a large dish
of cOrned beef hash and another of cod
fish cakes the secret of whose manu-
facture she had learned fro a New En-
gland girl, years ago.
But the brides wedding dress was a
thing to be noticed. 1t was so modish
yet so unambitious. White poplin was
the material, that new poplin no heavi-
er than satin, but just as lustrous and
much more durable. To begin at the
ground and go UP, the skirt was made
with a deep flounce of chiffon around
the foot; and over the chiffon flounce
fell broad piece of Eugene lace, of
the soft Spanish web. The fiounce was
so cunningly set under the lace that it
gave a tunic effect.
A Princess tunic of poplin was Dor
dered with lace and trimmed with a
panel Of the same. The yoke was of
taffeta, fulled across the front, while
the shoulders were finished with
punches of chiffon falling in a gentle
cascade.
A wedding gown of this description
can be made for about $25, the chief
expense being the lace, which can be
