WHAT PARIS WEARS.
BY MADAME HYDoRNE.

Paris, Sept. 29-TrouviIe has re-
sumed its tranquility. Most OF the
'elegantes' who made the day Of the
Grand Prix gay with delicious dresses
have gone away. Nevertheless, one
still meets on the famous ''planches"
not a few Parisiennes wearing charm
ing costumes OF the newest style.
Baroness Henri de Rothschild is at
Dieppe, where, as at Trouville, she
makes herself conspicuous by the taste
and richness OF her dresses. At the
resent races at Deauville she was wear
ing q large mantle of white cloth, en-
! broidered all over, which created quite
a sensation. At Dieppe more recently
still she was seen with another which
was not less happy in it's effect. and
which was admired quite as much 1t

The races at Dieppe were this year
unusually successful. and brought to-
dresses in the "pesage" and on the
stands were quite remarkable. The
| Countess de Morilhon caused special
attention. Her dress was taffetas glace,
of changing-green color, and produced
an exceedingly pleasing effect. Over
| this robe was thrown a long mantle of
deep green silk muslin, much pleated.

so as TO resemble long fichus. They
are very elegant, and possess a vapory.

their success. Also at Dieppe l no

behind touched the hem of the robe.

richness, taste, and grace which It is

Furs are now much mixed with lace
in dresses for evening wear. The Bar

most acknowledged leader of fashion
we have just now-shows a marked

| the beautiful Baroness Edouard de
Rothschild (nee Halphen) shares with
! her this taste. Madame Mennier and
Madame Forest also show a prefer

quite remarkable for their taste and
luxury. In the restaurants nearly al

these costumes have a decidedly strik-
ing effect Most of them are of tulle
and trimmed with thick guipure de
Venise. Hats are worn very large, but
much fiatter than was previously the
case. Barettes and cover-combs are
abolished. and marabouts are plentiful
