OF the same genre. but disposed rather differ
entity was q garment of black flet trimmed
with bands of black silk. This also was pointed
on the sides and on the tips of the points were
hung long silk taSsels. 1t was shaped to fall
a little over the shoulders in two points, tassel
tipped.
The gown worn under this one was of willow
green silk voile. The skirt long and cling
ing, with not a vestige of trimming, the hem
as limp as the rest. The slender waist was
swathed with soft silk sash. knotted in front,
hanging in longs ends, and the sleeve was
shirred closely to the arm from shoulder TO
wrist The hat worn with this chic costume was
of willow green velvet fiat of crown and wide
of brim This was faced with rose chiffon,
thicky shirred. About the crown was twisted
wide soft scarf of the coarsest possible ribbed
black silk that formed great chouX on the sides.
The mingling of green and black with the daint-
mess of the rose ColOred lining was exquisite.
An attempt made last season TO introduce
tunic skirts, and to a certain extent the at
tempt was successful This season they are faIts
accompHs. They are Of exceeding grace when
cut only little shorter than the underskrt in
front then gradually heightened to the hem at
the back. The lower skirt is untrimmed, de-
pending for its effect on the beauty of its ex-
cessive sweeping fuiness, for, of course all such
skirts are very long.
A princess gown of pearl gray velvet is
trimmed on skirt and bodice with bands of sill
yer lace, embroidered in high relief. To be worn
with this is a wide stole of ChinChilla fur. made
still wider by a plating of gray tulle that eX-
tends far beyond the edges and falls in jabot
folds down the sides of the long ends The de-
siguer Of this gown also shows a Sumptuous
evening manteau of white Irish lace, in a me-
lange of coarse and fine lace entirely lined with
unspOtted white ermine The mandarin sleeves
and the neck are softened by pleated frills OF
snowy chiffon and long pleated chiffon scarfs
tie it at the throat.
Alencon lace embroidered with silver or gold
threads is used for Euimpes and the mitten
sleeves that finish nearly every dressy cos
tune. 1t is pretty work to follow the design of
lace with these fine threads of metal and silk.

Camp. at the upper end of Lake Quinsgamond,
all summer. Miss Isabelle Drury, of Auburn.
had been staying there the LongleyS' guest.
Miss Drury went in bathing off the beach near
the camp. \ camp rule forbids the bathers to
go beyond the lifeline but Miss DruTy is a
strong and NentureSOme swimmer, and she broke

suddenly while out in the deep water she
seemed to become bewildered and TO lose the
power of swimming. With piercing scfeam
she sang from sight. rose, and sank again. At
her cry DR.. w. II. Raymenton, who is president
of the Natural History Society, plunged into
the water, fully dressed he was, and reached
her side He caught her she sinking for
the second time, and started to bring her to shore
but he became exhausted by the double burden
Of Miss Drury and his wet clothing. Miss

far out, had started to the rescue, and reached

Natural History Camp is so remote from
the popular resorts on Lake Quinsgamond that

came known outside that camp When ii did,

Miss Drury's experience by the way, is an
argument in favor of the gum chewers. She
says that after screaming once she closed her
lips tightly and chewed gum. to keep her lungs
from filling with water when she sank. She is
convinced that the gum, together with Miss
Longley and DR. Raymenton. saved her.

seline de sole The skirt Is made with pleated
panels alternating with wide lace entredeuX.
The bodice is beautifully draped above a wide
girdle. This is arranged the natural waist
line in front, rising slightly toward the back
in the graceful way much in vogue at pres
ent. The trimming this bodice is quite novel
and altogether effective. Artificial velvet flowers,
shading beautifully from light to dark shades of
mauve, are laid in cameo fashion bands Of
ribbon and follow the lines of the V-shaped
decoLetage. This pretty fancy is capable Of
great variety in clever fingers.
There is literally no end to the of braid

braid TO that of three or four inches In width.
A woman OF fashion who is noted for her eX-
quiste gowning night or two ago a
wonderful redingote of fawn ColOred filet lace

quarter inch SOutaChe braid. The garment was
pointed on each side and bordered with deep
silk fringe. Braid and fringe We're of the tone
of the filet. 1t was sleeveless and hung wide

tone of mouSseline de sole, the thick, soft sort
that hangs like cloth.

The Prix Municipal races would have been
an unusually brilliant event, from the clothes
point of view, had the weather been fine. As IL
was the lovely toilets were completely con-
cealed by voluminous rain and motor coats
After the races were over however, the pretty
tea houses in the Bois were thronged, and then
were seen the costumes to the best advan-
tage. Particularly attractive was tall blonde
woman, g0wned Superbly in velvet The skirt
trailed beautifully. It was trimmed with circles
of tiny cloth pleatings. three of them surround
ing large flat button set in the centre. These
circles measured, perhaps. six inches In
diameter and were set a little distance apart.
The half long coat was In Louis XIV form. The
collar, the hip pockets and all the edges were
bordered with an inch band of tarnished gold
gallon. The dull tone of this was in charming
contrast to the changing lights OF the velvet
On the sides OF the front and pockets and
cuffs were large, handsome, embroidered but

brocade closed to the throat with small. round
buttons She wore one of the immense bell
shaped hats-the new form-wfth one side very
narrow, the other shooting high and wide and
showing nearly the whole Of the white facing
Of the brim.
In delicious contrast, yet also in the height Of
the mode, slender creature, whose slender
ness was purposely exaggerated by the close
Clinging gown of ivory white cloth she wore.
Moulding her hips that every curve was evil
dent, the skirt flared suddenly at the knees into
sweeping fulness hemmed with sable. Just
where the flare began set, in a sloping line,
a broad band OF coarse hlet lace. The bodice
was all of the lace, draped closely about the
figure 1t buttoned close to the throat and eX-
tended a little below the waist line. exactly
like the little basques of many years ago. The
sleeves. tight. also, were wrinkled to the wrists
and pointed the fingers. She a large
