petted children of luxury, for one must
be rich to indulge in such costly cob
webs of lace and linen!
We are reminded of Englands
mourning by many of the gowns seen
at Paquin's, where the pretty man,
nequins" parade the lofty flower laden
rooms in the Rue de la Prix.
One exquisite model | noted was Of
gray-the faintest silver gray silk vel
vet with silver embroidered skirt OF
filmy black tulle, over which was
curiously eastern looking second skirt
which only reached either side of the
skirt so that the dress moved like a

part of the bodice lighted into the
grayness of black and white.

The coatlet had most incongruous
loose revers of black satin, faced half
way with cherry color or Chinese blue
velvet and blouse of supple silk muslin
in the most distinctive hues looked as
if they could be folded into a nutshell.
What wonders an ordinary sized trunk
will be made to contain this season!
We have grown weary of the bro

hard and ungraceful at best; far
more charming are the tiny marquise
sunshades, absolutely useless in them
selves, but decorative In the extreme.
as they give scope for such pretty
poses and attitudes!
There is very little to tell of in hats.
We have taken frantic fancy for
sweet peas, which climb over our
straw shapes in superb and expensive
profusion, for the best of us are grow
ing caddish, and we look to what costs
money more than to things beautiful
in themselves.
Gigantic peoples with dropping pet
ais, two of which are sufficiently ample
to trim hat, are the latest develop
ment of the blooms of the Garden of
Sleep.
Fruit is showing on some of the
hats-impossible fruit, of course, ap-
pies the size of plums, and cherries Of
the same "calibre," and all the gamut
of weeping plumei and distracted al
grettes that represent the power of
gold!
The latest summer dresses of floral
silk or soft pongee have quaint mar
row skirts tied in at one side and
trimmed with deep band Of glace
insertion. The bodice forms high
draped corselet, and the yoke and
sleeves cut en- kimono are sentirely Of
lace. This is a simple and girlish
make of dress. The chiffon and lace
wraps are most poetical.
A dainty and serviceable frock is
the one sketched for our readers to-
day. 1t is of blue. green taffeta shot
with black, the sides very lightly en-
broidered in black silk soutache with
suspicion of dull gold. 1t has a
very deep sailor collar fashioned from
wide black satin ribbon. with narrow
inside collar of cream. The soft silk
jabot Is of ochre lace. The sash and
sash ends are of black satin ribbon
with tasseled ends. The sleeves have
deep revers ornamented with gold but
tons. The hat is of black vanished
straw lined with blue-green straw anf
trimmed with shaded blue feathers.
