One Of tie most graceful models of the season
Is the half fitted long habit that is coquettsh as
to garniture yet dignifed in outline. There is al
ways something habillee. the French say about
long garment, and for this reason, perhaps the
close habits have remained popular so long in spite
of their stiffness and rather masculine air This
new edition Of the habit, however, has none of
these Unbecoming qualities
At the reunion Of the Jockey Club at Longchanps
there were several costumes on these lines One
in light mastic cloth. with skirt laid in cus-
tiers of SIDE pleats. The coat had distinct bias
seams, but straight fronts and the back and sides
curved 10 the waist without touching it. The
skirts OF the coat were siashed and held together
with passementerle ornaments and the cuffs of the
elbow sleeves were decorated in the same way
The waistcoat and small coat collar had raised
pink embroidery dore hlet and framed in a line
Of black satin. The hat black, with long black
plumes sweeping down the back. A second gown

At the, mock trial. one OF the boys was accused
of stealing some money. The prisoner and PLAINTIFF
each chose a lawyer from the leaders of the camp.
after which a jury of twelve boys was chosen.
The head header the judge. Each lawyer Stated
his and brought supposed witnesses. After
all the evidence given the jury conferred about
ten minutes and decided that the prisoner not

The mock election caused a deal OF
rivalry among the candidates for the various Of
fees. One night set apart for the speaking
and voting We had invited number of people
from the neighborins farms.
When the night of the mock election arrived
we all assembled in the cabin where we took our
meals. and the speaking started. Some OF the
speeches extremely funny. while others

every other point One thin striped gauze, dark
red and gray, is made with n double skirt. sort
of peplum draped side. This hangs from
high belt of black velvet The corsage is of
dark red mousselne de sole covered with flet and
embroidery in many tones Of silver and gray, and
there are short Japanese sleeves. In this enc cos
tune there such variant features the Greek
peplun, the Japanese sleeve and the Empire
waist line. An interesting gown is of old gold Lib
erty, with plain Empire skirt, made up with a
bolero top of embroidered fct. The bolero IS held
across the bust with straps of black velvet. The
third costume is of pale blue wolfe trimmed with
cloth in the same shade. On the skirt the cloth
makes wide Greek key pattern on one side. the
lines continuing about the skirt in the form of
three shaped iounces. headed each by en-
brOidery of soutache.
