The racing week at Trouville is responsible for
some the prettiest gowns that the Paris atelers
have afforded this season. and the majority of
these have Z style distinctive Of the 'grande Sc

most cla botately trimmed. TO present again
what has been the most decided innovation this
season-smple fabrics loaded with every eXtraVa-
9ance in the way Of oruamentation-2nd this idea
conspicuous since summer gowns were discussed
seems to have reached its eliminating point
To carry il further would be an absurdity, and II
IS doubtful if Of the mixtures OF cotton

produced now the derner cri in point Of modish-
ness are charming as they would have been II

closely observed
cruelty cut into with insertions Of embroidered or
stamped stuffs. Bands and stitched patterns Of
linen are considered proper trimming for robes
built Of some exquisite pattern in guipure. And,
on the other hand, linen gowns are rich with in
crustations Of really beautiful laces.
II seems almost trite TO speak OF real lace
even in France. where il remained d certain fad
long after IL was generally disregarded in other
countries. There is little really beautiful real
lace in existence, and the greater part Of the
handmade lace is heavy and In texture
and not at all suited to delicate ma

with machine made lace. or what is called MKT
