IN their honor in republican France
When there are royal visitors the
wealthy families of the Faubourg st.

these Russian adaptations.
Light coats to wear over theater gowns
are supplemented by loose cIoaks of a
material so thin that it is clear that the
garments are intended for ornament
rather than for use. One of these wraps
Was worn at Versailles last week by a
lady of the haut ton who pr.des herself
on superior taste. The cloak was OF
Fhree-quarters length, the material pale
pink chiffon, the trimming plated
LOUNGES of chiffon. A high collar and a
long scarf finished the cloak The gown
over which it was worn was of pink
tatfeta, the cOrselet skirt incrusted with
the lace and velvet. A deep hounce about
) the border of the skirt was laid in fine
plaits. bolerO jacket trimmed with
lace and velvet smartened the BODICE
While sash ends garnished with fringe
depended from the back. With the gown
wide picture hat was worn:
These picture hats are assured OF
favor next season from the fact that
beauty specialists pronounce them not
only protection for the complexion but
excellent in warding off premature
wrinkles and dizziness Of the eyes. They
claim that nine-tenths of the cases of
early wrinkling are due to the fashion
OF wearing hats and bonnets much too
small and set well off the face. With no
protection from the SUM- the eyes are
craWn up in the glare of white light,
and the brow is puckered into number
less lines. Many repetitions stamp the
INES permanently upon the face so that
the services of a skilled masseur or
beauty specialist are needed to iron out
the corrugated brow. The constant ex-
posture TO strong light weakens and
therefore bleaches the color of the ewes
leaving them dull land inflamed looking
In fact, the case made against the tip
tilted hat is so strong that it would not
be surprising if women now go to the
other eXtreme-that of wearing sunbon-
nets
The short sleeve Is highly praised by
the same beauty oracles, They assert
that tight sleeves compress the muscles
OF the forearm unduly and prevent the
air from circulating freely over the skim
THESE causes help to soften the muscles
OF the arms and wither the skin. Certain
1t is that short sleeves will be features
OF winter evening frocks and of indoor
gowns. The sleeves are daintily made,
ntted fairly we'll to the arm and usually
shaped with narrow plaits or tucks out
lined in silk stitching. AT the elbow lace
or soft hounce of some sort Grapes the
bend.
With this sleeve goes the round. deep
collar covering the shoulders and trim
med with lace or embroidery Evening
gowns are cut square instead of round,
and are often draped with a sheer fichu
garnished with lace, if not all of that
material. The fchu, clasped with a jewel
ed buckle or pin, affords the wearer an
opportunity to bring out her heirlooms to
torment the eyes of less fortunate &C
Quaintances whose ancestors were not in
q position to buy costly trinkets.
The fashion of wearing square bodices
and elbow sleeves is adapted from the
Louis XIV. period when the court danes
wore such gowns made of the costliest
gold and silver brocades.
The use of applqued flowers cut out
and stitched to the Foundation material
makes handsome design. This decora-
ton, too. was favored in the days of
Louis the Grand. There is no doubt that
appliqued laces and silk are the leading
tits in dress trimming for the fall.
The tailored costumes are nearly all
modelled on the princess shape and cut
with great severity Narrow tucks shape
the robes, fiounces about the lower part
of the skirts being corded or trimmed
with heavy lace appliques.
White now is the Fashionable shade in
hair. Auburn, blond or reddish gold is
to longer worthy the attention of the
hairdressers. Instead locks so severely
white as to suggest that they have been
dipped in the bleaching basin are to be
seen on the most aristocratic heads The
reason Of this is obvious. Women have
stained and dyed their tresses until there
is very little good coloring matter left.
There was only one eXpedient open to
unfortunate wOmen-that of appearing
with the hair as art had left it, donning
wigs and fronts, as too many women do
in this age, or of bleaching it a COM
plete white. Young women look partic-
ularly fascinating with their white Golf
fures, but middle-aged ones find that It
adds considerably to their apparent years.
The white hair is generally dressed in
some of the old-fashioned ways now re-
ViYed and in the evening glitters with
JeWeled ornaments. BarrettaS, shaped I'M
derneath like a comb, are substituted for
clasps. They hold the short ends of hair
in place much more satisfactorily. I am
told that the loop of hair tied with the
bow and known as the catagon is on the
verge of readoption. Several influential
EaiTdFessers have it in view, and some of
their patrons have already taken it up
+ a tentative way. What are known as
Romney coiffures are employed with
greatest success for white hair,
