I tulle Illusion adds its transparency to the
its freshness.
The drivers Of phaetons are more par

the equipage demands a little additional
luxury, and this detail cannot escape the
notice of parisiennes.
Coming TO the "chauffeuses" let me con-
gratulate them on having found a dress in
harmony with the heavy aspect of the
''teuf-teuf. but nevertheless perfect. The
everlasting striving for new records of

rate. protected. To this end charming
mantles are made in the Macfarlane style,
either OF fine white cloth nut brown, or
red CLOTH which are very effective. The
pure tailor-made style is also worn, and
for a variation let me describe a lovely
small paletot, half Jersey, half caSquin,
most original in aspect. 1t is made of fine
white cloth. half length and straight cut.
Ten rows of narrow gold piping, alternat-

black piping. encrcle the small cape of
crimson velvet which serves as a yoke.
The sleeves, which are of the pagoda
shape, are braided with gold only. The
garment is fastened with groups OF small
t&ssels. white skirt and fluffy three

revived sport which was at one time so
discredited by the negligent costumes of
some Of its votaries.
/ now come to the beautiful ''prOmeneu-
tes,' leaning back dangerously in their
victorias. Here is the triumph of the now
elites in transparencies this summer.
Lawns and muslins, inCrusted and en-
brOidered large lingerie collars, fowered
hats and dazzling self-colored sunshades,
red pinks and white especially. form an
aspect of studied simplicity suited to
morning dress. l notice that all the feet
extended on bright silk cushion, match

white antelope or deer leather.
Large white tullle ruches over black
tulle are very much in favor. They are

There remain the pedestrians, genuine
lovers of fresh air and bright sunshine.

and with quick light steps traverse the
by-paths. They all keep their skirts clear

dressed alike. with cloth skirts in long
sewn pleats open at the bottom. A yell

accompaniment to these plain dresses.
Another wore a bolerO in the shape Of
a quarter mantle, with q large collar and
waistband Of white fiowered pique-
Sailor hats. with an embroidered gar

I have seen another pretty nickel-grey
tailor-made costume. worn with hat
composed Of red poppies, and sunshade
morocco. This costume was very recher-

IN the same style I notice a tailor made
costume Of black satin, worn with a large
toque of white hydrangeas; the waistband
and boots were OF white deerskin, and the
gloves and sunshade were white.
