most part winter painted green. To be
sure. one Is not ambitious to be roasted
alive: stEl the present corrections Will
not stand many visitatlons OF wind
and weather. But sufficient unto the
day.
At present all Paris Is reyeling in the
spring sunshine and enjoying It TO tho
utmost by motoring out to Armem-
VILE to late dinners. stopping on the
way for a rural drink OF milk at the
Pre- Catalan. The women step from
their motors enveloped in voluminous
dust coats and in a minute emerge like
butterflies. They are as modern as sci
ence can make them and are the envy
and despair OF every unfortunate who
does not possess maid. Everything
about them is perfect. Nothing is out
OF place: their compilations, their hair,
are as exquisite as their clothes. Well,

inc cape. had neatly rolled collar of
green velvet A double waistcoat Of
gold and green embroidery softened
with an inner vest OF chiffon and a ia

and they necessarily are obliged to be
short in order to obv!ate the dowdy ef-
feet Of yards or spread out plaitings
wabbIing over the ground. The most
fetching OF these skirts have an under
drop" Of some dainty colored silk
ruched and pinked, whose beauty is
visible with every motion OF the wearer.
A black wolfe over Eight blue is
sweet combination to use for the sun
