Paris, April 24.-Americans, especially
New Workers, would like to import lot OF
this delightful June like weather we are
having, l am sure. For only yesterday I
read OF the melting SHOWS and the slush and
the high March winds that are holding sway
in. our Eastern and Central cities.
And here everything is out-the trees,
the Yictorias, the spring bonnctS. and with
such an air of assurance, too, as though
they had come 10 stay. Winter takes its
leave of Paris in such graceful way, and
never comes back TO tear and nip spring
tendrils.
Nor does 1t blow its frosty breath on
the pretty windows OF the energetic modiste,
who verify seizes time by the forelock and
decks her windows with the flowers that
bloom in the spring before winters back
is turned.
The greatest treat one can have now
is an afternoon at the Bois, where the
victorias are driven by in streams, and
gracious women, with that satisfied air
that comes OF a knowledge of being CONNIE
IL faut," are driven by in hundreds.
And yet one knows that the perfectly ap-
pointed equipages are not owned by the
Partsians. They belong in most cases 10
the American or English colony here
Ihere is a most stunning Russian turn
out here that belongs to the Princess Dol
gourskt. 1t is a very low affair and looks
very much like Russian sleigh on low
wheels.
The three spirited, stocky, black horses
are all decked out in sleigh bells, so that
their approach is heralded before they turn
the big curve that leads TO the principal
drive. have never seen The princess and
her little daughter Nell until today, Tor all
the winter long they have been totally en-
Yeloped in furs.
While they drove today the princess wore
big Louis XIV hat, with the crown
surrounded by band OF straw, surmounted
by row Of black tips curving away from
the crown. A bunch of black plumes was
placed at the back, where the hat was turned
up, and bandeau Of roses, shading from
pale yellow 10 burnt orange, gave the only
note OF color. The coat was a long box
coat Of tan covert Goth, double-breasted,
with big white pearl buttons and compara-
lively small sleeves. 1t was one OF Red
ferns latest models.
There is a very new style OF driving
Jacket, that promises 10 be very popular
this season. 1t is a tight-fitting affair,
reaching just below the waist line, with
single row or buttons down the front, and
high Medicis collar.
j saw a model in one of the-sLops try
ing on a short jacket OF this style, and
TO my surprise she slipped off the waist
of her dress, and when l asked If these
jackets were intended TO he worn with
out waist, l was told most emphatically
yes, else they would not guarantee a
perfect fit.
Verify, the sleeves Of jackets are smaller
than this winters jackets We're, hut in the

Rev. DIR. Morgan has one of the smartest
turnouts To be seen in all Paris, and. like
all reverend carriages, il accommodates
great many strangers. The girl / saw
riding in it today was. n very stunning
looking American girl, with her dark hair
parted in the middle and brought down
straight over her ears. Her hat was OF
rough cream straw trimmed with Ameri-
can Beauty roses that were yeiie in cream
mousseline de sole. The dress was OF fawn-
colored silk, with figured stripe of ma
room. There was n wide double collar OF
ecru batiste embroidered with a Persian
pattern in many subdUed colors, with a
tall crush collar OF warm velvet. At each
side OF the velvet collar were very full
frills OF deep cream uousseline de sole.
The fashion that came into vogue last
year for little horses and small carts is
as popular as ever. One cart that | saw
that was particularly jaunty was black,
with bright red running gear. and theIittle
black horse looked as sturdy as could be
and kept up beautifully with the process
sion. There is a very strict code OF car
riage etiquette in Paris. A mans wife
rides always at his right. Other women
sit at the left side. If two women are driy-
ing together the Que at the right is always
the guest
Even in the carriage costume one no
tices the great tendency OF the styles toward
the Louis XIV.

KISSES IN COURT.

The question of whether or not
a young married couple has the
right to kiss out loud has been ju-
dicially determined in Flatbush.
A case came before Justice Steers
in 'ths. Grant Street police court in
Brooklyn the other day which in
volved this question. It came up
in the form of a charge of disor-
derby conduct preferred against
Miss Annie Wheeler, a maiden la
dy, who had expressed herself in
rather strong terms because Mr..
and Mrs. Hentschell, who were
boatders in the same house, dis
turbed her by their osculatory ef-
forts. Miss Wheeler, it seems,
waved so indignant that she rush.
I'd into the Hentschell apartments
and ordered the turtle doves to
stop kissing forthwhich. "You
ought to be ashamed of your.
selves!'' cried Miss Wheeler. 'You
arc disturbing the whole neigh
borhood with your kissing, and it
must stop" Mrs. Hentschall, who
was. sitting in Mr.. Hentschell's
lap at the time, looked scornfully
at the intruding maiden lady, and
forthwith, then and there, with
malice aforethought, kissed the
husband in a good old-fsshioned
way. Miss Wheeler screamed with
rage, and berated Mrs. Hsntschell
for all she was worth. Miss Whee-
Ter, being arraigned in court, was
asked what she had TO say why
she should not be put under bonds
30 keep the peace. She intimstsd
