mondaines have left for their chateaux,
In the interior or for the various water
ing places, chief of which Is AiX-les-
Bains, with BOulogne-sur-Mer next.
But at the great races what a multi
plicity of beautiful toiletsi What raw
ishing hats and enhancing gowns! At
the races the dresses are as light and
ethereal as laces can make them and a.
delicate and flowerlike as the exquisite
tints can render possible. One sees pale
pink covered with cream lace, blue I'M
der butter color, green under white,
lilac and mauye with cream or maize
lace, or net overdrapery or trimming.
Some of the dresses are entirely covered
with lace, as if the dress was of that ma
terial over a lining. There are capes,
flchus, collets and berthas of lace, and
these, with the soft and summerlike col
ors of the materials, make the vast as
semblage a beautiful thing TO see. The
parasols in nearly every case matched
the color of the dresses and were orna-
mented as full as they could hold with
puffs and gauffers of illusion, crepe
lisse, chiffon or lace. Some Of the lace
parasols have the covers wrought to fit
there are bows of narrow ribbon, with
many loops fastened to the top and also
TO the handles.
Among the Ioveliest of the toilets seen
at the Grand Prix was that of the vi
comtesse de Logne. it was of rose col
ored taffeta, with white pear blossoms
in punches and their foliage as pattern.
These flowers were natural size, and
some declared they Were hand painted.
The skirt was made extremely full and
gathered all around at the top. at the
bottom was q shell trimming Of white
valenciennes lace about an inch and IL
half wide exquisitely made. The corsage
was French shape, gathered very full
top and bottom to the belt. Around tine
waist was belt formed of heavy cream
lace with deep vandyl1e points, with a
row of points turning downward ard
another pointing upward, so that it
formed sort of cOrselet over the sliir-
rings of the waist. At the neck the lace
was gathered full like pierrot collar.
The sleeves We're large balloon pufTs,
with outline cuffs and caps made of the
vandyke lace. The hat worn with this
was of white neapolitan, with pink vel
vet rosettes and punches of the white
blossoms of the cherry set loosely wher-
ever they would hold, one bunch falling
on the hair from under the brim.
Mime. de Giers, nee Countess Hoyus
Herberstein, wore an elegant costume OF
salmon colOred striped crepon with
black dots. The corsage was draped with
guipure both front and back TO two small
points. The edges of this flax colored
row black chantilly lace. Around the
neck was fiat band of black moire, and
above that full ruche of orepon- The
belt was of wide black moire ribbon,
tied in the back and hanging i'll two
long ends to- the bottom of the skirt
The skirt was finished plain around the
bottom, but had rosette bows OF moire
set ut intervals of IL inches all around.
The hat worn with his refined costume
was of white chip, trimmed with much
white lace and few small black wings
aud two punches of pink cOrnfowers on
the salmon shade.
Another beautiful Partisan had cos
tune DIES courses worthy of her, and it
was composed of mauve crepon and IL
lac silk muslin. The front OF the waist
was of plated silk muslin and formed

two roses with foliage-One deep red and
the other light pink. There was sans
gene tie Of white embroidered crepe
hsse, with diamond shaped buckle III the
center. There were many other daz
cling costumes there, but it would DC
tedious TO read of them all, so / VIII

of emerald green velvet, bordered with
Parma violets. Directly on the center
Is placed large bow, with Il graSShopper
