fasts arc the latest festivities
which amuse society. An tho
season advances they promise to
be the rage, Quite a number Of Lon
don houses have beautiful gardens and
the fortunate owners are jubilant over
tho fact OF being able toautllze them
for such diversions. Those who do not
possess gardens can give this fashion
able festivity at the Ring tea house in
Hyde park. Society women are very
grateful to Lulu" IIarcourt the cabi-
net minister who has charge OF the
royal parks. for his approval of this

SIMPLE, EXPENSIVE FRocKs.
Mrs Chauncey had a breakfas party
tho other morning to which a num-
Der of friends who had been dancing all
night came on. The women, I am told
looked as fresh as flowers in the white
linen and drill frocks. a smart young
lnatron remarked the other day that
these breakfasts give one an opportun-
ity of wearing the most delightfully."-
simple frocks--that costly simplicity
which Is so ruinously expensive. Such
little break fast frocks cost anything
from 1925 to $3.50. The price OF the ma
terial of which they are composed is
about 25 cents a yard. but it has to be
cut by an artist, the design must be
perfect and the handiwork worthy OF
fairy queens robe. Those of the lin
gerie order are especially beautiful and
dainty. The proverbial dream in pet
ticoats is supplied to go with them
garment Of softest silk cut in one with
the bodice, a mass OF infnites!mal
tucks, trills and embroidaries completed
by rows of ribbon made to represent
roses
No feathers or plumage OF any de-
scription are admitted on the hats and
quaint honnets which accompany these
breakfast frockE. 1t Is an unwrttten
law or fa6nton that tney should be
adorned with flowers or foliage.
A breakfast nat which was sent from
Paris the other day to Mrs. Anory
Moore, who Is now fixed up at her new
house near the Duchess OF Flies, was
a mass OF pink and red geraniuins and
as big as q miniature parasol. The
flowers We're made of miroir velvet and
so exquisitely true to nature that
everyone thought they were real.
