Smart Frocks at the Races and Out-of-Doors

LondOn.-One always thinks the So
called race gowns offer food for much
reflection Nowadays nearly all the
smart women attend race meetings. and
although our climate and the generally
sporting character Of the women who
survive IL demand frOcks Of a more
practical variety than the Partisan re-
qUiTes on similar occasions. there is
no doubt that we are now getting the
very smartest of Nienuese and Partisan
tailOr-mades, which combines warmth,
protection and durability with an ade-
qUate degree of elegance. Indeed, one
might almost say that at the big and
even at the early spring race meetings
one sees almost as many indications Of
new fashion as one does at LOngChamp
The subtle difference is that the very
smartest women on an English race
course are distinctly Of the taiior-bUilI
order. Ascot and GOOdwOOd remaining
as the two exceptions that prove the
rule.
New models are sprung upon us eV-

Paris. June e.-New coIors have
ceased to create much sensation in
Paris, and nearly every day some fresh
shade or another appears on the scene,
and is Immediately seized upon by the
leading lights in the world of dress
and pressed into service for the novel
schemes Of the moment Never has
the color card" contained more sam
pies and the fact that instead of a few
definite and somewhat crude shades
which the women Of the Second En-
pire found sufficient for their needs,
we have countless gTadations and tones
OF one color is, perhaps, one of the Tea-
sons why the modern reproduction of
Second Empire dresses is so charming.
The newest" Of the new cOlors is to
paz''-a lovely clear light brown-which
IS produced in the finest Of muslins and
chiffOns, which are almost invariably
mounted over pale blue, with the ad-
ditiOn of a richly embroidered bolerO
worked in the two coIors. It is a shade
which blondes and bTunettes alike can
wear with impunity, and with a soft
ening of creamy lace and the almost
imperceptible introduction OF a little
silver thread in the embroidery. dress
Of this description is a dream of beauty.
Spanish mantles-Or what, at least
go by that name-are being evolved by
the smart dressmakers to do duty as
race wraps. and very great is the de-
mand for them. A light-cOlOred cloth
is usually chosen for the basis, pale
water green being the most in vogue,
and this is deliberately braided in black
and gold, and supplemented with raised
/ embroideries IN thick black silk. Cream
cloth nantes trimmed with guipure
/ lace, the pattern of which is so deli
/ cately fine and intricate as to resemble
! carved ivory, is likewise used for race
! coats. while the ever popular Shantung
! in any and every shade finds host of
/ votaires and IS trimmed with heavy
| barbaTic embToideries, chiefly Of the
| Chinese or Russian peTsuasiOns.
/ Shantung is, however, to play another
part besides that of providing dresses
| and race wraps, and pettcoats of this
| silk are already becoming immensely
popular with the Parisienne. These are
J decorated very deliberately with lace
and OpenwOrk embroidery, and. as they
wash exceedingly we'll, and stand any
amount of hard wear, it is little to be
/ wondered at that they are promised an
/ extended vogue this year.
Hats for morning wear are trimmed
with nothing but ribbon. and are very
/ small, the French woman preferring to
/ keep the glOries of her flower and
/ feather-deCked chapeaux for society
/ gatherings, afternoon shopping and

ulOus, ten or twelve yards and even
more being sometimes used for the
