AN\lSTT mensely popular. There
HR NY is a very lovely new shade
of blue, which is very
much on the sake tint, only darker
This color has the advantage Of look
ing equally well by night or day, and
1t is exceedingly fiattering to the fair
skin of a blonde beauty.
Last night, at a ball at the Casino,
beautiful Spaniard. the Marquesa de
Casteja, were crepe de chine toilet
III this shade. The skirt was caught
in so tightly at the hem that 1t was
difficult to realize how its wearer man
aged to walk-and gracefully-but 1t
was, nevertheless, most effective.
Down the front of the dress there was
shaped panel covered with pale gold
embroideries inset with turquoises and
a length of black mirror velvet was ar
ranged as a swathed sash round the
waist, which was set high. The cor
sage was cut low and was literally
covered with rich embroideries and
there were long, tight sleeves of pale
gold filet net.
These long transparent sleeves are
once again very fashionable and more
often than not they have curved cuffs
which fall over the wrists and hands.
For woman who possesses thin arms
these sleeves are ideal, as they can
be made of any transparent, or semi
transparent, material, and in gold or
silver tulle they have the effect of add
Ing an appearance of flesh which
might, In some circumstances, be de-
sirable.
Large Hats Most Popular.
1 find that the large cloche hat and
the folded trochan toque are carrying
all before them at San Sebastian.
Spanish women, as rule, love ultra
large hats loaded with feathers, and
because of their somewhat exotic style
Of beauty they can wear an exagger-
ated millinery model with perfect
grace.
The cloche shape which will be in
favor this fall and winter is not very
high in the crown, but it is decidedly
wide In the brim 1t will be trimmed
either with a mass of large loops in
silk OF velvet, or with three or four
handsome ostrich feathers and clus-
ter Of aigrettes.
Out of Place In Ballroom.
Although we have grown so much
accustomed to seeing immense pic
ture hats worn at casino balls 1t new
ertheless remains true that in ball
room, for those who dance, they are
not very suitable. They look rather
incongruous and when the room is
crowded they are often very much in
the way.
On the other hand the light bathing
cap turban is as convenient as it is
becoming, and this holds good for the
ater wear as well as for casino enter
tainments.
A great many women are of opinion
that an evening cloak is most effective
when worn in conjunction with tur-
ban or hat Of some kind.
A good deal of disappointment has
been felt at San Sebastian at the tenn
porary absence of the young king and
queen from the favorite Spanish sea-
side resort. The king and queen have
been in England, spending some little
time with Princess Henry Of Batten-
berg at Cowes. Their majesties have
returned to San Sebastian now and
will remain there for the greater part
of September
Just before left Paris had an op-
portunity of seeing several lovely
dresses which we're just about to be
sent off to Cowes for the queen. One
of these, for garden party wear, was
composed of black and white striped
taffetas, with swathed waistband,
about six inches wide, of supple black
velvet. The guimpe and under sleeves
were composed of Irish lace In a rich
shade Of ivory, and the accompanying
hat was of the cavalier shape, of black
pea a de sole, trimmed with two snperb
BIZ Ick ostrich feathers.
Queens Beautiful Costumes.
During her stay in Paris, en- route
for England, the Spanish queen wore
a series of lovely and most picturesque
dresses, and several of these were
entirely carried out In black and
white materials. The queen has evil

swathed velvet waist bands, for these
appeared on three of her afternoon
toilettes. These folded waist bands
are new and sufficiently attractive.
but unless very carefully made they
are apt to make the figure. look heavy.
A really lovely dinner dress, which
was worn by the queen at Cowes, was
composed of dark purple crepe de
chene and old black Spanish lace. The
train was very long and finished off in
a point. and it was covered with deep
fiounces Of lace. The description of
