FOR THE CHASE

While street gowns have been pre-
pairing for town, the fortunate world
that possesses chateaux, or has friends
that do, and SO fingers on In the coun-
try, has been having made for it hunt
ing costumes after English models, in
which it is pretending to fish and shoot
These gowns are made of heavy Eng
lish material, and may be finished with
leather facings. The skirt stops be-
tween the knee and ankle; it is fat on
the front and sides, with the fullness
thrown behind, but must have am
plitude enough for ease in walking A
costume in green cloth has fitted

out godets, fastened down the front
with black brandebourgs, with a wide
black silk elastic belt; black seutache
on the sleeves and down the front

DAINTY CHATEAU TOILETS.
After tramping across fields in this
severe and boyish costume, evening
finds the same women In the softer
draperies of what is technically known
as a toilet de chateau" At this time
of year the dressmakers call every elab-
crate afternoon gown a chateau toilet
Comes under this head not only the
gown one puts on for the dinner and
evening If St9UinO q q 1tI,xy
but the dress-up gown as we'll, that
one needs for dinners and other occa-
sions in town.
Such gowns are long-sleeved and high
necked, and the materials are velvet,
cloth or silk, with accessories of chif-
I fon, fur, lace and jeweled passemen-
terie. The foundation for some of the
prettiest ones is the bolero. Others
have a low-necked blouse like the skirt
over high bodice of chiffon lace A
few are made in princess form.
A dress of this sort is composed of
skirt and short bolero with sleeves of
ivory-whfte corkscreW cloth, and
blouse of blue chiffon, with a narrow
Russian belt of gold ribbon set with
imitation turquoises. The front of the
bolero is plated to form an effect of
jabots, and the top of the sleeve is
loose from the close part, and is slashed
and plated, and falls in the same way
and all the bolero is stitched round an
inch from the edge, SO that it appears
hemmed.
Another is made of blue and green
plaid silk. The blouse, but not the
sleeves, is covered with white chiffon
and over the blouse is a sleeveless bo-
lero of blue velvet. The bolero is
| lined and corded with green, and has
| appliQues on the corners of gilt passe-
menterie sewn with mock emeralds

passementeries are not necessary to the
dress, but they are considerably worn,
and 1t may be well to say that they are
not at all out of the reach of the mod
est purse. In Paris at least, they are
SO cheap as to tempt to abuse. They
are in taste only in the evening, and
should then be used with discretion.
