PARIS AT THE RACES.
CBy Madame Hydorne.)

Paris, Sept. Most of the fashion
able people OF Paris have been at
Trouville- Deauville. for it is supposed
to be very "chic" to show oneself there
during the races. which always attract
Ia lge crowds. That meeting is always
the occasion for a great display of
fashionable and superb toilettes. AL
ready many notables Of Partisan society
have been seen on the most select re-
sorts, such. as the Rue de Paris and
the famous Planches. Among the pref
test and most remarked of them is the
ViscOmtesse de Tame, whose beauty
is the talk of the town, while her
dresses. masterpieces from the Rue de
la PaiX. are the envy of all the ladies
who see them for their harmony and
originality. The other day she was
wearing a black crepe de chine dress
which moulded her form like a statue,
and of which the corsage was cut large
to show a chemisette of Chantilly lace
with a bunch of passion roses. A bou-
quet Of similar flowers ornamented the
hat. which was black, very large, and
of eighteenth-centUry style. She also
much favors long wells, which she al
lows TO fall over her face, draping
them under the bust in a fashion quite
her own. Much admired also is Mad

ccmpanied by a hat of green taffetas

dark. indeed. as to be almost black
The sunshade was also green.
Taffetas is very popular just now for
hats. Il is pl Nphesied, and there are
good reasons for believing. that this
popularity will continue not only all
through the autumn, but during winter
as we'll Set out with narrow ribbons
and trimmed with a long and dropping
feather, nothing can be prettier for
hats. and certainly nothing can go sc
well with the complexion. For garden
parties and tennis, hats are also made
of pleated taffetas. In shades of blue
light rose or even white. making a sort
of "cloche," very attractive indeed

color. is in vogue. It Is trimmed with
two superb feathers. one white and I'll,

Baroness Edouard de Rothschild (ne'
Halphen) was wearing the other day {
hat exactly similar. with the only diff
ference that it was white and gray.
