CBy Madame Hydorne.)

Paris. Sept. Most of the fashion
able people Of Paris have been at
Trouville-D eauville, for IL is supposed
to be very chic" to show oneself there
during the races. which always attract
Ia, ge 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 eiShteenth-century style. She also
much favors long wells. which she al
lows 10 fall over her face. draping
them under the bust in a fashion quite
her own. Much admired also is Mad
anne Henri Lctellier. One OF her favor
ite robes is in white toiIe, the skirt
having two frills, which relieve each
other i'm dentellated design. festooned
all around. Fin lace shows on each Of
their decorated motifs. recalling the
time Of the First Empire-crowns OF
lGUrel and swarms Of bees. The cor
cage is of linon. all I'm small pleats OF
lingerie. relieved 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
or ornamentation, fasten this garment
at the back, and around 4, foot OF II
Irish lace is seen. This toilette was ac-
companied by a hat of green taffetas.
decked with dark green feather so
dark, indeed, as TO be almost black
The sunshade was also green.
Taffetas Is very popular just now for
hats. II 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 so
well Win the complexion. FOR garden
parties and tennis, hats are also made
Of pleated taffetas, In shades Of blue
light rose. or even white. making q sort
of "cloche," very attractive indeed.
As showing quite a novelty in this
style, l will describe a ''cloche" Louis
XVI I'm white straw, with q crown in
beret shape OF white embroidered tulle,
and much trimmed with chiffon. A
scarf of sky-blue satin is made into a
bow at tie side under a border of light
she'll. Another taffetas hat old rose
color, is in vogue. 1t Is trimmed with
two superb feathers. one white and the
other with Just the slightest shade OF
rose in It, the two producing a delicate
harmon. ute enhancing. The young
Baroness Edouard de Rothschild (nee
Halphen) was wearing the other day a
hat exactly similar. with the only diff
ference that 1t was white and gray.
