week has been the races at
n Longchamps. The opening for
the season of this noted
course marks the first stage in the Sc
RES of sporting reunions which takes
place at the gay capital during the
spring and early summer months.
Since the autumn meets closed, the
Iongchamps Racing society has had
constructed a new set of tribunes,
which now make this hippodrome one
of the finest in the world
There is an interesting bit of history
connected with the origin of this track,
for which one has to go back to the
eighteenth century. What is now the
race course was at that time an abbey.
whose nuns were celebrated for their
fine music. The fame of this choir be-
coming known, the elegantes of the
day on fine spring Sundays besieged
the edifice at the vesper services, even
filing the graveyard and damaging the
tombs in their efforts to gain entrance
to the abbey The scandal became so
great that the archbishop of Paris
closed the doors of the church. The
real object of the visit to LOngchamps
was at an end, but the promenade had
become too fashionable as dress pa
rade to be abandoned, and so the OBJ
jective changed from attendance at di-
vine service to the display and worship
of the goddess fashion and the exploit
ing of lovely toilets. The need for
more exciting raisOn d'etre was felt,
and in time the renowned Longchamps
race course was built opposite the old
abbey. The promenade then received
new impetus. which has continued to
the present day, and the Alice des AGA
cias which leads to the track is now a
brilliant spot on spring days, filled with
the creme de la creme of Partisan So
ciety gowned in the latest creations Of
the celebrated couturieres.
The first day at Longchamps the
feminine part of the crowd in the
pesage was arrayed in severe tailor
gowns. and nothing could have been
smarter than the new Paquin coats
which showed themselves to the public
on this occasion. These coats, stunning
on a well set up figure, are straight,
habitlike jackets of three-quarter
length without basques, depending for
their chic upon faultless cut and
personal touch in the trimming of the
deeper collar with an inner one of some
becoming dark hued velvet. One smart
sportswoman wore with her Paquin
coat a skirt cut with three volants en-
forme at the foot and a pl city small
straw toque to match the color of the
gown, which in this instance was of the
new puce shade.
In regard to hats there is always one
noticeable CONNECTION at the opening of
the races which bears the stamp of
some good house that everybody takes
a mental note of. The chapeau which
created a sensation this season was a
Virot of fine Italian purple straw in a
close shape, having a curied brim and
a decided point in front, trimmed
around the crown with d narrow bouil-
Tonne and a loose band of velvet fas-
tened with two long gray wings at the
sides. This is the style of hat we shall
be wearing with our summer tailor
suits

When cane seated chairs become
shabby and the elasticity is gone out of
them they may be restored by turning
up the seat and washing the cane work
with hot water and a sponge till it is
thoroughly soaked. If the cane work is
very dirty use a little salt. Dry the
chairs in the fresh air.
