During the hot months the fashionable
Parisiennes take refuge at Puteaux Island
or at the Polo, which are the most charm
ing and the coolest places within the pre-
ciEcts Of the Bots de Boulogne. awaiting
their departure for the country or the sea-

circumstances will permit.
One particularly attractive dress is
sketched as follows: Pleats Of lingerie Tin
form outline on skirt and corsage large
fourishes. seemingly unclaimed to each
other. and fixed at the shoulders and the
belt by large buttons Of white toile The
hat is of white straw, profusely trimmed
with white feathers, and kept in position
by pin with a large head of clear shell.
The gloves are of manufactured suede.
The-"select' fashion at the moment among
the leaders of la mode is to wear such
gloves with white dresses or with gowns
of a very light shade. The resulting con-
trast Is very effective.
Another dress Is in rose toile, and Is one
of the prettiest imaginable. It is of bolero
shape, all in pleats, opening in front over a
chemisette Of white muslin. with three
little bows of black satin forming a tie, and
belted with draped taffetas. In addition to
the pleats, which give q distinctive ele-
gance, this bolero is also ornamented with
white silk gauge, and with large boutons
made OF the same material.

Another toilet is ideally chic, and, more

French vicomtesse of American birth
whose beauty and elegance are universally
admitted. 1t Is composed of skirt of white
