Avenue Du Bots De Boulogne. Paris
May 26.-The Paris season started ir
with the Hippique the first of April
to end with the Grand Prix in June
Between these events is one continuous
dress show, various and dazzling as an
Arabian Nights dream Only when the
last race is trotted will all the gowns
J have been shown off and it be time
to depart for watering place and
chateau.
At this moment the privileged are in
full swing of the pleasures of the eye
! as served up by the dressmakers. And
the dressmakers are not least among
the artists of Paris.
! At an informal garden party the
other day the women were in such
charming toilets that one could fancy
to have strayed into some paradise OF
hours. The toilets were not elaborate
they had rather an air of being simple
but they possessed all the art and
ELEGANCE that cause French dress to
give the tone to the entire world More
over, they were unedited, as the French
say-they were published for the first
time Also they formed an edition de
/ luxe of what the rest of the world will
have in less artistic form.
