PARIS. August %. 1906.
Most of the fashionable people of Paris
have been at Trouville-Deauville, for 1t Is
supposed to be very chic to show oneself
there during the races, which always az
tract large crowds. That meeting is always
the occasion for a great display of fash
ionable and superb toilets. Already many
notables of Partisan society have been seen
en- the most select resorts. such as the
Rue de Paris and the famous Planches.
Among the prettiest and the most remark
ed of them is the Vicomtesse 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 nodded her
form like statue. and of which the cor
sage was cut large to show chemisette
of Chantilly lace with a bunch of passion
roses. A bouquet of similar flowers or
namented the hat which was black very
large, and Of eighteenth-century style. She
also much favors long wells, which she
allows to fall over her face draping them
under the bust in a fashion quite her own.
Much admired also is Madame Henri Letel-
lier. One of her favorite robes is in white
toile, the skirt having two frills, which
relieve each other In dentellated design,
festooned all around. Fine lace shows on
each of their decorated motifs, recalling
the time of the First Empire-crowns of
laurel and swarrs of bees. The corsage is
of linon, all In small peats of lingerie re-
lieved with Valenciennes, and covered by
a droll little short jacket, very low cut
both before and behind. Two exceedingly .
large buttons, or what may rather be
called motifs of ornamentation, fasten this
garment at the back, and around the foot
of 1t Irish lace is seen. This toilet was ac-
companied by hat of green taffetas, deck
ed with dark green feathers-so dark, in
deed, as to be almost black. The sunshade
was also green.

Tafetas is very popular just now for
hats 1t is prophesied, and there are good
reasons for believing. that this popularity
will continue not only all through the ar-
tumn, but during winter as well. Set out
with narrow ribbons. and trimmed with a
long and dropping feather. nothing can be
prettier for hats, and certainly nothing
can go SO 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.
