Paris, June 16. &
According to tradition and in spite of
gathering clouds the smarteSt of summer
gowns were worn at Chantilly on the
French Derby day. To be sure, 1t was the
stage queens and the pretty 'midinettes
sent to display the latest novelties of their
house who uncovered their beauties to
threatened rain and chill winds. The women
of the grand world were more discreet: 1t
was only at the buffet and afterward at
the smart tea rooms they disclosed the
splendor Of gowns. covered till then
by handsome wraps.
Mrs Robert Bacon was charming in
costume of blue and gray shimmering silk
combined with gray silk wolfe. English en-
broidery and Valenciennes lace trimmed
the front of the corsage and lace frflls
dripped from the three-quarter long
sleeves. The voile skirt, trimmed to the
knees with the changing silk, swept the
ground an inch; the half long coat slanted
sharply from the bust. The hat of fine
black erin curved becomingly about the
face, shading it with many black feathers.
Nine. Jean Stern was very smart in
trailing toilet of black shining crepe, with
a three-quarter length coat of black satin.
1t hung, wide open. straight from the
shoulders, and frills of black mouSseline
filled the open front; the mousseline sleeves
were shaped of scant, overlapping frills to
the elbows. falling over tight, wrinkled
under-sleeves. The hat was black also, but
enchantingly faced with shirred white
chiffon, and fluffy white feathers trimmed
it. Color was supplied by a rose of vivid
red thrust among the frills of the cprsage
and long-stcked parasol of matching

PATRIOTIC PICNICS

A Fourth OF July entertainment is full
of decorative possibilities. Coming as the
nations birthday does in the dead OF sum-
mer 1t is naturally celebrated out OF doors,
and here the patriotic embleIns suitable to
the occasion look their best. If the lawn IS
spacious and attractive and the kitchen at
reasonable distance, course dinner, US
ing the decorative scheme suggested by the
accompanying picture, might be served out
OF doors. But perhaps the most successful
arrangement If the veranda be of ample
size is to make the entertainment half

the table have a large white paper bell
surmounted by a gilt papier-mache eagle.
From the mouth of the national bird have
trt-colored ribbons extending to individual
nut cases set In shields. From the centre
piece let small shields line to the four cor
ners of the table. The place cards are
hand painted shields surrounded by gilt
stars These little affairs can be used later
as picture frames. No flowers are neces-
sary for this scheme Of decoration. though
