The navy blue straw hat was trimmed with scaiie'
poppies and white aigrettes.
The day very warm quite summertime anu
brought out some extremely light toilets. although
there was severity Of style and cut about the
majority OF them which marked them as some
thing quite different from the toilets the Faris-
10 the races. The dainty Paris-ehhe Is
learning 10 adopt a certain severity OF style from
the fashionable London tailors who have orancnes
in Paris although 1t be confessed that II does
always often become her.

Visits to the various couturieres this week have
furnished little OF importance to record. Modes can
hardly change now. although we shall soon see
elaborate toilets designed for the big races.

possible in regard to ordinary street apparel moth
ing seems too elaborate for the important racing
days. A charming model Is OF fancy SILK, tur-
quoise blue. with gold figures in it and covered with
black net. The apron OF the net overskrt Is per-
fectly plain. although bordered by ruching Of
irch-wide black lace. The rest OF the skirt Is
finished by ,wo rows OF the same ruching. The
soft blouse bodice has a short bolero OF peacock
blue silk. almost covered by thckly gathered lace
rCchings. The high corselet belt is Of the peacock
blue silk and the soft front is mass Of black lace
and gold embroidery.
moro glrsh gown is Of a soft striped silk. the
ground pale cream. with narrow stripes of back
and wide ones Of yellow running through it, The
muffied sleeves and high belt Of black chiffon.
The choker is covered by a huge ruche OF black
mousseline de sole. crushed in by bows OF black
satin ribbon. This ruche extends down one side
OF the surpice front vivid dash OF color is added
by the bunch OF red velvet popples with artificial
flo yer centres that is placed side Of the bust
Some pretty summer frocks made OF dotted
mul,s There is a dainty idea shown in the trim
ming Of one that seems novel. The whole bodice Is
covered with rufies Of narrow white lace. running
about the figure. These rufies put with a
narrow beading through which baby ribbon is run.
The ribbon is pink. and The frock Is built over a
pink transparency. The choker is OF lace
rufos with three rosettes Of baby ribbon under the
chin The skirt Is trimmed with three rows OF lace
rlffes arranged In waves. The lace is somewhat
wider than that used on the bodice. but 1t is ar
ranged in the way. with narrow ribbon run
through a beading the ribbon ending in a rosette at
the head OF each scallop. The sleeves trimmed
to match the bodice and the belt is wide crushed
sash ribbon OF pink silk.
All odd short jacket effects very much used
and some Of the new boeros simply fall either
straight In peats from the shoulder seam. and do
not pass under the at ali. This Is a pretty
way OF making fancy silk. In this case the boero
may be OF lace. arranged In pleats and hanging in
points TO just below the bust The high corseet belt
should be OF velvet with velvet choker to match.
A simple but pretty way OF making a dainty
