archbishop of Paris closed the doors of the
church. The real object of the visit to Long
champs was at end. but the promenade
had become too fashionable a dress pa

changed from attendance at divine service

fashion and the exploiting of lovely toilets
The need for a more exciting raison d'etre
was felt. and in time the renowned Long
champs race track built opposite the
old abbey. The promenade then received
new impetus, winch has continued to the

could have been smarter than the new

the public on this occasion. These coats.

with her Paquin coat a skirt cut with three

Queen Mary's Harp is Sold.

From the London Mall.
There was dispersed by auction in Edin-
burgh on Saturday family collection of
Stuart and Jacobite relics of great historic
interest and value. The early death of ].
N. Durrant-Steuart, the twentieth and last
laird of Dalguise, In Perthshire, brought
this unique collection to the hammer. In
terest centered mainly on two ancient
harps, one known as Queen Marys harp
and the other as the Lamont or Caledonian
harp. For the last twenty years they have
reposed at the National Museum of An
tiquities, and are well known to Scottish
antiquaries.
The story of Queen Mary's harp is that
during hunting trip into the highlands of
Perthshire, in the year 1868. she offered her
own harp as prize In bardic competi-
ton. It was awarded to Miss Beatrix Cur
dyn of Banchory. 1t closely resembles the
famous harp Of Brian Boru. and a century
ago 1t was stringed and found to possess a
sweet and delicate tune. Competition for 1t
was very keen Theodore Napier, the we'll
known Jacobite enthusiast. remained in the
bidding until $50 was reached, and finally,
at $500 10s., 1t was secured by the authori-
ties of the Edinburgh Antiquarian Museum.

eleventh or twelfth century. was sold at

changed all that now, and even the wo-
man of limited allowance this summer may
be clothed artistically in old world muslins,

course the handsomest fabrics have silk

In Empire Style.
This, however, is not the picture gown
par excellence, which for evening wear is
usually of the empire style. Our present
modes are certainly made up of many Pc
RODS. There are the Victorian skirt the
Tudor sleeve. directoire coat, Japanese and
Russian influence distinctly evident and the
still smart military effect. Gilt buttons
are used on linen frocks, and lace is ap-
piled on every variety of gown fiat as chew
rons. With all these incongruities the en-
scmbles are charming in most examples
when adapted to the individual and the
particular style of the gown.
One thing is certain-our summer ward

three white costumes, whether of tailor

Really Partisan.
An imported fichu. which is strictly Part.

long plastrons of all-oyer lace are made
over pale yellow silk. These cross over the
shoulders and are edged with two rows OF
four-inch lace. They meet at the waist line
in the back and are closed with jabot or
black velvet ribbons which have long ends.
The ends in front are finished in jabot ef-

thin white or daintily colored gown. AS an
accessory for the silk, wolfe or challie frock.

What One Girl Did.
To obviate this. one girl experimental on

inches and curved to fit the neck The
