According to a special cablegram from

court train of the dress which Miss
Mathilde Townsend is to wear next month
at her marriage to Mr.. Peter Goelet
Gerry has alone cost $1,000. 1t Is
superb example of modern point lace, ex-
fines; workmanship. The entire exterior
of the costume, in fact. is composed OF
point d. AlencOn, considered by connois.
seurs the most artistic of all ornamental
fabrics for womens wear. The train rams
ma jestically from the shoulders with q
peplum or shawl effect, its soft lines as
| indescribably beautiful as the downy flank
! of a white summer cloud. me under-
structure of the gown is Of white satin,
yelled in the finest mOusseline de sole.
From the point of view of Paris, Miss
Townsend's costume has two original fea-
lures. In the first place, the corsage Is
cut very low, as are those OF royal orloes
| in Europe. The hour fixed for the wed
ding being in the afternoon, Miss Town
| send thought she might properly depart
| from the more ordinary precedent In this
| respect. In-the second place, the skirt Is
| like all in ultra-fashionable society this
season that are intended for visits or din
ners. The decorations are garlands and
| a large bouquet Of orange blossoms, the
latter being placed conspicuously and with
a great deal of chic. apparently holding
| the drapery of the corsage in place.
| though in reality it is caught together
underneath it on the left.
The artiSteS in dress, who designed this
costume. are we'll acquainted With Miss
TOWnsend'S personal appearance, and they
| have kept we'll in view the charming eff
| feet which will be produced by the grace
| full blonde head dominating, with its vir-
ginal freshness and dignity, the soft and
| snowy mass of delicate needlewOrk. like
a golden flower rising above spotless lilies.

| latest moment, and a friend of Miss
Townsend, who left New York about the
same time brought over sample dress
lining which had been worn by the pro-
spective bride, TO serve as a guide for the
Paris dressmakers. Only forty-eight
hours were consumed in the actual max
ing of the dress, which is now on its way
across the Atlantic to the home Of the
bride.
