Paris, they are not confined to the pleasures
Of green and exclusive lawns. but, after 8
o'clock, are worn everywhere.
The chiffon p~arasols which accompany
these bewildering costumes are frequently
garlanded with small flowers. tiny morning
glories, rosebuds and Yiolets forming fringes
for the edge.
In the t~oilettes OF the French costumers
exquisite color schemes are observed and a
tendency toward tinted lAeee. Pistache
green and turquoise blue are the odd hues
which appear in several of the rich laces,
whose ochre yellows contrast superbly with
the bits Of jewellike color. All red lace is
also seen, in heavy guipure and Vaien-
ciennes qualities.
An afternoon gown OF white organdy
lately worn at Newport showed an all-over
barring of the new red valenciennes. The

silk stockings with lace insets. And now
add a &C. to 'insets'' and you see the
new French stockings worn by the
swagger woman. I~nsectward they all go,
bees, wasps and even the harmless domes-
tic fly clarifying many q modish step.
BY contrast with this giddIness plain
silk stockings seem almost nun-like.
But. Of course, the lace trimmed ones are
dear. too dear for the majority OF us. So
let me advise all those who hunger after
gay ankles to buy the cotton game stock
ings with colored silk embroideries. Tho
buggy things are on some of these. too.

30 cents.

Chinese gauge is the material Of the dress
which bears the magic stamp and illuml-

All, why can not we ali wear Paris
gowns. so gracefully fall their tails. go
sweetly droop their shoulders! Here We
are given shoulders like the letter t and
skirt bottoms so aggressively stiff that
they stand out like inverted tin tunnels.
The French methods Of making are the
simplest, when you come to look into
them.
A delightful garden party frock OF dead

Paris gowns fall better than ours. For
one thing, the very deep stiffening the New

These gave the bouncing look about the

every movement Of the skirt ravished the
color-lOying eye. All over the white lace
