\ popular weather prophet here pre-
diets a warm. late summer, there may
be some chance yet TO wear very thin
gowns All the smart dressing is centred
at TrouVille- Deauyile now. and although
the opening DAYS of the race week Were
pleasant the spectacle was hardly that
of midsummer dressing. Whether the cold
summer has Influenced the modes. or
whether the caprice for heavy trimmings
on white dresses would have appeared uT-
6er the sunDiest of skies. il is Impossible
TO det ernine but there is the most curious
use of velvet. Not only are velvet hats
worn but velvet sunshades. and these lat
tor arc lined with f7oUnCos Of white NOUS
seInc de sole. Some Iery elegant women
arc carrying 51uffs These. TO h" sure, are
mostly made of rnousseline de scie or satin,
but they are often hordered with fur or

Black and white or white and black forms
a good proportion OF the most elegant cos
tunes worn. ana ono cannot imagine any
thing more striking than two costumes of
this sort worn at the Casino at tea time
One Of black embroidered batistc with 4
good deal of openWork was veiled with
white n.ousselinc de sole and hung over 4

embroidery, and this trimming vas re-
reated OH the top of the bodice A belt
vas made of twisted white cords and was
knotted on the side with falling ends.
The second gown was of white English
embroidery. delicate. much embroidered
and inset with lace. and ending at the bot
tom with u wide. bias band of black velvet.
Another touch Of black on the costume
was in the form of slirred band of vel
vet ending the half-long, shaped sleeves.
The big hat was of the new cavalier shape,
made OF sllirred black velvet and loaded
with white willow plumes. A big muf
made of white lingerie and lace, with
the rufTles falling about the wrists, edged
with Il black band. recalling that on the
sleeves.

costumes. In mind is one-piece gown

\ nice It:le design which will figure
among the early autumn models was of
gray serge. The skirt was cut TO fall in
four deep pleats. TWO il front and two be

skirt but allows for plenty of liberty in
walking. The short jacket turned away
very sharply below the waist line, and the

4 lot of f"ulard gowns are worn, but IL
cannot b. said that 1t j the fashiona BILE

season. In the same way, one sees a lot
of strapped and banded gowns. II Is
slightly incorrect TO say that these are
demode. for many well dressed women
