Trouville- -Deauville

Trouville- Deauville.
tsnS7Srs.5 HE season here has opened
I'M, very brilliantly. Already all
xdEh " the most important villas at
NNRLE Trouville and Deauville are
- a. occupied, and well-known
faces are to be seen at every hour
Of the day on the sea front annd In
the casinos.
People have very often wondered at
the continued success of Trouville as
fashionable seaside resort. They
have said. and with reason, that It Is
not specially pretty place; that
there Is little or no shade to be found
there In the hot August weather, and
that though the famous "planoes'
make a most desirable walk on fine
summer morning, this tact does not
account for the favor that is extended
by our most exclusive Parisiennes to
the exotic little north coast watering
place. writes Nine. de Villiers In the
Boston Globe.
The fact Is that Trouville Is. and
has long been, the fashion. And when
that Is said--all Is said. other places
may be much more attractive from
many points Of view. but the Paris.
iennes, and the fashionable society
women Of England and America, elect
TO spend the first three weeks OF each
August at Trouville. Deauville. and
nothing can make them do otherwise.
have remarked more than once In
these pages, that at Trouville white
costumes almost always reign su.
preme. There Ia something about the
air OF this particular wa ering place
which demands white or very pale
tinted costumes. for morning wear at
any rate. OF course Il Ia true that a
great many colorod tussah and shan.
tung suits are to be seen on the sea
front. but taking the matter as a
whole II may be saiG that pure white
costumes have II all their own way.
Morning Walk In order.
This season fashion. and the beauty
doctors. have decided that very
early walk on the sea front must bo
taken by our society women. Indeed,
even In Paris II Ia becoming more and
moro the fashion TO take exceedingly
carly walks IN the Boia do Doulogno.
Tho beauty doctor OF today turns his
attention specially TO health. aud no
insists that there In nothing better for
the health. and especially for tho com
plcxion, than quick walk In the keen,
froah air OF early morning. Some Of
the ultfafaahionablo Pariaionnca are
Just now making n point OF being out
on the sea front as early as IN tho
morning. and Il II quito amusing "a
see how determined they are 20 take
the required number OF turns ON the
plank walk which reaches from the
long piora 10 the big hotel at tho faI
end OF tho place.
Suits Of White shantunu.
! think the most successful auita oI
the present season are those made oI
pure white ahantung. the material oI
a fino quality and sufficiently heavy e
hang well In n plain coat and skirt
There is something very cool and sum
merlike about shantung. IL is more
suitable for tailored costumes than
tussah. and In pure white Il Is en-
inenly attractive.
I saw this morning. on the planchea
an ideal little suit OF this order II
was worn by tho comtoaso Pieri. who
ID very fair and most graceful OF ig
ure. The skirt was. OF course. short
all the skirts OF the present day are
short except those expressly intended
for evening wear-and there was a
plain hem. about 10 inches deep. into
which the supple material was slight
/ ly gathered The smart little coat,
which was OF medium length. was
/ semi-tight. and Il had an immense
sailor collar which was thickly GOV.
cred with white sOutache braiding
There were deep gantlet cuffs turned
back on the three-quarter length
sleeves. and these cuffs were also
covered with braiding. In front the
coat was held together by loops OF
white silk soutaehe ana Hat buttons OF
mother Of pearl set In rims OF silver
With this dainty little costume a shirt
waist OF the finest batiste was worn
Il was entirely hand made aud the
tucks down the fronts were rather
wide and were hemstitched. Attached
to the front Of the waist. at tho left
side, aud falling over the coat. was
an immense pleated frill OF batiste
inset with yalenciennes. At the top
al the shoulder. this frill must have
been 10 inches wide. and then Il tap
cred away TO nothing at the waist II
was very full and very finely plated
and the yaieneiennes insertions were
Of the finest quality and of the old
yellow shade.
Fashions Latest Fad.
These side frills are the latest fad
10 the world OF fashion. They are not
really new. as We had something very
like them with us last season. but
they seem new because OF their ex
traordinary size at the top. They are
emine9tly smart and mako the sim,
