support of their wives, for this great
event at Juvisy is the occasion for
wearing beautiful clothes.
In the masses of people the very best
dressed Parisiennes were seen, and to
them the eyes of alert makers and buy
ers turned for the newest modes.
Probably the latest idea in coats Is
pleated backs. Many of these appeared
at the races. but the long coats were by
no means without their devotees. At the
Grand Palais, where an exhibition of
aeroplanes is being held. there were
seen two striking Russian coats. One
was of mustard-colored cheviot. the
other of corbeau blue, which. you re-
member, is the blush black of the ra-
ven's wing. These coats buttoned at the
side in a straight line up to the Shout

Corbeau blue Is enjoying great popu-

otee of fashion to do but to be swayed.
first by the wonder and mystery OF
Asia, and then by the more practical
influence of Europe. When these two
factors can be combined by the art of
great modistes there is a most pleasing
result.
Just now there is in evidence the
touch of Russia on many garments.
There is an element of somber dignity
in this invasion. and this meets the de-
mand for balancing of the more friv-
oIous, quaint and fluffy notes in other
modes.
Many adaptations of the Russian
headgear are now being worn. The
peasant and soldier of the land of the
ear have furnished models for clever
milIners. There is the moujik cap
based on the peasant style of closely
fitted cloth. Beaver cloth, velvet or
silk is used TO clasp the head quite
tightly. and this necessitates a plain
couture arranged In a swirl of straight
hair. This cap must be worn low down
on the head, and requires fresh, piquant
features to offset its severity.
The high Cossack turban of fur or
shaggy beaver is likely to become popu-
lar. 1t also should be worn down over
the forehead. hiding most of the hair.
Russian forests are sending forth
beautifui furs. The sables, bear and
pony, are accepted for outdoor wear.
1t is reasonable. therefore, to expect
Russian decoration on some Of our gar
ments. Embroidery OF many colers,
turquoise. emerald and coral shades be-
ing emphasized. is very effective on
hats or jackets. A broad band of this.
o. huge square inset in front. is quite
effective on blouses.
We have become acquainted with
Russian enamels and hatpins, and i'm
mense metal belts and clasps are now
offered To wearers who insist upon or
naments that repeat the general idea Of
their dresses.

L limited purse OF mother need not

Many inexpensive white materials
are being utilized; white washable
silks, voiles and cashmeres wear well
and stand the test of frequent visits

Japanese silks are soft and pleas
ing when made on simple girlish lines.
The newest frocks of this material
are made in short and sensible round
length skirts, which fall in full lines
from deep belts of satin ribbon. The
bodices are gathered into senior
cular yokes of lace. and little pulled
sleeves are all that is required.
Another dainty frock is carried out
in white point d'esprit over silk or
satin, with three or five ruff1es hor-

duce a fluffy standingou effect. The
bodice is of net draped in frflled
lines in a fichu effect, and these ruff
nes (edged as those on the skirt areb
are caught in front above the girdle
with a huge satin chou or rose. Short
TRANSPARENT sleeves are edged at the
elbow with tiny ruffies.
Artificial flowers lend dainty touch
of color by their festoons or punches
on skirts and sleeves. These are es-
pecially good-looking on tulle or net.
The best of the accepted evening
dresses can be made at small cost.
which fact is worthy of thanks from
the mothers of growing families.
