shoulders. The small buttons ornamented every rid

to far above the shoulders but shrred into the
seams The cuffs shrred and the shirrnss

orramcnted by double bolero the upper one or the
organdy, and the ower one square IN shape OF lace
insertion. divided by velvet ribbon.
The couurieres have been mysterious over Grand
Pr.x costumes for a fortnight past, and the result
on Sunday fully justified their ntentions although
I'm comparing the dress display with that ON the
same occa sion "A year ago ii would seem that lo.i'
cites were more elaborate ana eieSaht men, III
though not as pretty and dainty weather "ii'
IA shpon combining this season in the direction Oh
the cotton or linen gown, it was possible for one
make good effect with a simple frock if colors
and accessories were well chosen. One of the most
attractive costumes was by pretty blonde
1t was of yellow dimity--that old-fashloned fabric
that has returned to favor The bodice was elco-
ratcly trimmed with dimity ruiiies edged wtA
narrow black lace The neck was cui In square
at the base of the throat and nished by the ruiies
that continued like breteles down the front OF me
gown Across the front were twists OF deep red
ribbon, enLng in small square bows. She wore
that she might throw it aside, a huge neck ruche
of black and yellow lace: and her hat was OF ecru
Panama straw, trimmed with narrow bands OF
black velvet. scarlet peoples and yellow tulle she
held bunch Of popp.es In her lap and other ac-
cessores to her toilette were tiny Empire fan or
black and yellow and gay parasol Of yellow SILK,
with founces of yellow mousselne de sJie and wide
inscr..ons OF heavy black lace, through which the
sunlight might wander The combination of yellow,
black and POPPY red was charming, as well as
effective.
Another gown had white foundation, almost COW
cred by lounces OF yellow lace. There was hsn
belt on the bodice Of yellow silk, which began under
the bust and ended to sharply define the neat waist
line Ii closed each side with row OF small
diamond buttons. The hat OF coarse ecru straw mad

and il seemed a good idea to have them match.
There were many elaborate ones bur those OF pain
six seemed quite popular, bright green being a
conspicuous color. Some women wore neavy gold
bangles on which were hung pencil writing PAD and
the half q dozen little gold TRIES that are usually
carried on the cha telane This event furnishes an
excuse for extravagant trfies.
The elk gowns were not effective as they were
last season, when Louis Quinze jackets of rich bro
caies were 50 much There were any number
OF blue and white foulards, but this fashionable and
convenient stuff Is in danger of becoming tresome,
IT admits OF so few variations in the way of trim.
