| For the benefit Of your lady reader
let me attempt to sketch one or two O
the most striking toilets of the granC
Prix Sunday at Longchamps. I should
like to have seen first-class media
given to the following: A skirt of BID,
faille, yelled in front with flounces o.
Alencon lace, each Of which was sur
mounted with q stripe Of Pompadour
rose, embroidered ia relieve; it was
gathered up in graceful waves by a
glrdle OF Pampadour roses and a scarf
OF Alencon lace and rose faille. trimmed
with plated lace. A straw bonnet with
maize colored ribbons, bunch Of maize
feathers, small ears of corn, and tuft
Of roses. This was lovely picture, OF
which it would be difficult to convey an
idea of the variety and still harmony of
color, as it would be to describe the sun
set glories Of a Claude. One or two of
Worths well-known clients are deserv-
ing OF the most honorable mention. His
famous scissors fitted them toilets, the
very recollection of which makes one
lay down the pen in despair at having to
pick to pieces such bewitching ensem-

neurT The Princesse de Metternich
wore a black silk dress, the skirt of
which was trimmed at the bottom with
three dentilated hounces, embroidered
with wreaths Of white roses. Lapping
over this skirt an open jacket with
Louis XIV pockets, trimmed to match
the skirt. The body was decked with a
large fichu Of black gauze twisted over
with black and white lace, the end of
which were tied behind and fell on the
skirt. rs 81 ssl ~ $50 -
The Princess was and is, | believe,
still one Of the most intimate friends of
the exiled Empress. She may now
fairly lay claim to a succession which
owes SO much of its prestige to her own
exquisite taste. She is emphatically the
most Partisan foreigner of the many
who adorn this bright city. There are
few fetes which can be compared to her |
