verflscation of this fact, i letter from Z
friend ii Monte Carlo supplies iii ska
telIs ne az tie gay ciolhes both the Euro
peon and American wonaen who are be-
ginning to assemble are now wearing. II
any one of you should need to replenish
your wardrobes. there is pretty sugges-
ton in q description she sent me Of q
red stamped velveteen 1t would be an
ideal frock for some of the hunt balls
which will be on the taps before many
DAYS elapse. providing you didn't care to
sppear infull dress regalia. 1t has yoke
Of pale shrimp pink. with creamy lace, and
seems especially designed for wear with a
very pretty red toQue with pink camellias
II you choose to convert It into an after
noon frock.
But fhing which everybody wants.
whether there are gayeties or no. is
tea gown. ana she tells me OF one Of
cherry colored silk with a lace hchu
which is very watteaulike and pictures
cue, while the beautiful lece tea coats
worn over different pale colors and some
times with trimmings of fur, she speaks
OF are absolutely indispensable If you would
be reckoned among the smartly dressed.
One OF them is OF emerald green and white
striped mosre and another. which IS also
pale green. Is a delicately patterned panne.
But there are new things as well as the
old spoken OF in this budget. and among
these are the painted gowns. Imagine
picturesque black chiffon, with sprays Of
La France roses; and the very latest thing
Is painted cloth and painted crepe dc
chine.
Some quite exquisite dresses are being
made here for coming entertainments.
One is a pale transparent blue silk. lightly
watered and brocaded with bouquets OF
pink roses. made as a court train over
an underiress of pale lilac nlousseline de
sole with painted roses. held in at the
waist by a broad empire sash OF pale pink
with a chou and long. floating ends. A
garland OF roses is wreathed round the
bodice and beautiful bare shoulders and
again encircles the arms as the prettiest
apology for sleeves. A rose colored crepe
de chine Is painted with wreaths OF white
violets. draped like a Greek peplum and
caught up on one shoulder with a great
white bird.
Turning from gray to grave, there Is, I
hear. some talk In Bordon town OF raising
a corps according to the idea of the Roose-
Welt rough riders. which were a feature Of
the Spanish-American war. This corps was
made up OF young men from the Knicker-
booker and other exclusive clubs in New
York and other cities. 1t did valiant SER
vice and bore the hardships OF the cam
paign unfiinchtngiy, while the members
now wear little particolored button In
their everyday dress as a memento of their
deeds of derring do" This English So
ciety corps Is similarly planned and would
| be drawn entirely from the higher ranks.
| SO that all the men, the majority of whom
| would go as troopers. would be well known
| to each other. Mr.. Gerald Paget. who or
| iginated the idea, may probably still take
| command although Mr. George Paget Il
| getting the regiment together. Lord
! wolverton whom many Americans know
, well. was also very interested in the pro-
ject, which for a time was abandoned. but
now is again IN the air.
