Paris May 30.--You do not need to go
to the woods to gather flowers. for gar
dens grow right at your door. And such
beautiful gardens. so full of posies and
sweet smelling buds. all to he had for a
song OF great deal less than sixpence
| often recall! the old days NJ home, when
I wandered into the woods for flowers.
and how surprised | would have been bad
they been wheeled right to my door by
little maid ell smiles and red checks beg
ging for me to buy.
Yet there are minutes now when one
longs for the country. even In Paris
where everybody smiles and seriousness Is
as hard to find as snowbala in June. There
come moments when | like to call my
favorite companion, and, with him at my
side, wander into the green fields outside
Paris and enjoy n taste OF country ire.
The hound enjoys the treat as well as L.
yet think we are both glad when. choos-
ing the nearest way home. we ride back
TO town and to the pretty parks. The
hound, a tall white fellow wears tau
collar and to match it choose tan shat
lie dress all trailing in green leaves and a
hat of green satin straw with rosettes or
white ribbon extending around 1t.
They are using ribbon trimming now N
place of flowers 1t is quite remarkable
how easily one can be deceived by bunch
of satin ribbon shrred and twisted into
rose shape and how easily one can imagine
it rose
In the streets you see coaching parties
stopping for minutes indulgence while
the girls stop and buy a nosegay. Women
do so love flowers in June
| saw two girls so tastefu.ly dressed the
other day. One in fine ginghain OF brown
and green hue. The bingham was trim
med upon the waist and skirt with a uuan
tity of white satin ribbon sewed on to give
the effect o, en- overskirt and bolero. The
belt was white leather
The other one wore gown OF gray cash
mere with crop skirt of oeander pink
which showed through the slashel skirt.
The waist was of most unique design with
an odd vest of gray silk trimmed with
black ribbon.
over the tea cups hat afternoon I SAW
a hostess in gray poplin, that fashionable
fabric, with vest of parlne blue taffeta
The front of her skirt was made gay with
an assemblage of most beautiful OUTER
flies.
At the same house | saw gray silk
Of old fashioned silver gray striped wi h
gray satin bands. The waist was trimmed
with shining of silk taffeta.
One OF these chic gowns was made of
pale gray cloth. The skirt fitted close over
the hips, and the fullness at the back was
arranged in two flat plaits. Three rows
of narrow deep violet velvet followed both
seams of the front gore and continued
around the bottom of the skirt
The jacket was short affair that
reached jus; below the waistband at the
back. 1t fastened over 10 the left side with
row of large smoked rearl buttons and
was cut away from the bust line TO show a
vest Of ACCORDION plated, pale violet
moussellhe de sole over lining of white
satin. 4 tall cravat bow of accordion
plated n:ousseline de sole gave a finish
to the neck and frill of the same fol-
lowed the edge of the Jacket where it
fastened. The close fitting sleeves had
hut little fulness at the tops. They were
trimmed a. the bottom with three rows
of the violet velvet.
