PARIS. July 3.-There is more OF the
picturesque element visible in the elaoo-
rate piazza gowns made in the ordinary
dressy afternoon toilets Of this season.
A French woman, when in her summer
home. literally lives out Of doors. Not
that she goes in enthusiastically for out
of-door sports during the warm summer
weather, but nearly all day long she sits
enthroned on the comfortably fitted up pi-
azza and takes the air that way.
In the morning she is a picture in her
clinging silk princess morning gown as
she sits and works languidly over a piece
Of fancy work.
In the afternoon when she holds an I'M
promptu reception on her spacious piazza
and serves delicious iced drinks to her
friends. she is stunning in her lovely pi-
azza gown.
So. often in France, IL the piazza ad-
Joins the dining room. corner Of the pi-
azza is fitted up as a summer dining room,
so that all the meals may be served in the
open air.
In that way ones afternoon piazza
gown serves admirably as dinner gown
through the summer
There was something quaint about a
lovely little afternoon gown that had
been ordered by a young French matron.
