as La Grande Semaine. All the
most brilliant entertainments are be-
ing given at the present moment and
on every side one finds the most cost
ly and exquisite toilettes displayed.
La Grande Semaine Is really the her
aid Of the end Of the summer season In
Paris. but then It Is also the herald
Of the birth OF another and equally i'm
portant season, that of the chateau par
ties and OF the fashionable seaside re-
sorts
have seen some really lovely COS
tunes lately, which were specially Gre
ated for the Grand Steeple," the race
meeting which the Parisiennes call La
Journee des Hales; and on looking at
them in detail l was more than ever
struck by the rapidity with which
founces and ruches have crept into
popular favor. On many OF the very
newest models we now find one or two
founces on the skirt but as yet these
founces are skinny and 80 shaped that
they fall into straight lines and out
line the figure almost as accurately as
q plain tight skirt might do And for
such dresses as these taffeta Is q IA
vorfte material.
The skirt with the triple flounce is
quaint in outline and very picturesque.
The shaped flounces are mounted on
tight underskirt Of thin silk or satin,
and the top flounce is shaped to the
figure like tunic; IN fact, the impress
sion given Is of a skirt arranged in
three shaped tunica
Tho other afternoon saw a model
Of this order chez Worth and the ma.
terial was ivory crepe de chine inset
with Irish crochet Of finest quality.
The shaped f1ounces were slightly cut
up In front and each one was border
ed with a deep band of crochet which
had been specially designed for the
dress. There was fichu-like ar.
rangement Of Irish crochet over the
shoulders, and underneath was a ki-
mono blouse Of crepe de chine. This
blouse was bordered by bias bands of
dark green velvet, and on the collar of
the flne net guimpe touch of dull or
ange was introduced The sleeves were
quite short barely reaching to the ell
bows, and the hat made to accompany
the costume was Duchess of Devon
shire shape in yellow tuscan, which
had lengths Of black satin and dark
green velvet ribbons passed over the
low crown and tucked away under the
hair at the back. while on the wide
brim, lying rather fiat, was cluster
of glorious yellow roses mixed with
branches Of white heather.
Worth is this season using a guam
tity Of the finest embroidered muslins
1t is possible to conceive. A great
deal OF 1t comes direct to him from
India, and for evening dresses he is
employing long lengths of the famous
Indian embroidery in gold and silver
threads- This year the whole world
seems to have become quite English,
you know" The excitement over
the coronation In London has made
English fashions and English materials
stylish in Paris and 1t is natural that
the embroideries of India, as the laces
TO Ireland, should attract a good deal
of attention.
Worth Is always very much occupied
with his royal clients, and quite late
ly he created most delightful tea
gown for the queen Of England, in
which Indian embroidery and Irish
laces played an important part. The
groundwork OF the gown was ivory.
white muslin and on the hem was a
deep bands Of Limerick lace. The fold
ed corsage was almost entirely CON-
posed OF lace, but In front at the
breast was some rich embroidery and
the sleeves Of the 'angel" pattern,
were OF lace and net combined. A
supple sash OF pale heliotrope crepe de
chine fringed In gold was wound round
the waist and tied in a loose knot at
the left side. This particular shade
Of heliotrope-which seems pink in
certain lights-is q great favorite of
the queens. and she frequently selects
1t, especially for her afternoon and
evening gowns.
A rarely lovely dinner gown, recent
ly created In Paris for the same royal
lady, was composed of palest rose mir
ror velvet with side panel Of dia-
mond and seed pearl embroidery. There
was cloud-like drapery Of deep
est mauve silk tulN falling over
one side OF the skirt and this drapery
was embroidered and fringed in sir
yer and crystal The corsage was a
glittering mass Of embroidery, dia-
monds, seed pearls. silver threads and
crystal beads and little wings Of en-
broidered tulle formed the short
