run. The little tables under the trees
were all taken by members Of the
most exclusive social circles Of Paris
and many of the toilettes worn were
sartorial poems.
Armenonville still remains the favor.
lite open-air restaurant of fashionable
Paris. The drive to 1t is delicious on
hot summer day, through the leafy
Bo1s de Boulogne. and the restaurant
itself Is SO favorably situated that 1t
seems to form the very heart of the
Jamoes woods.
1t has always seemed to me that
pretty women look prettiest there. The
soft shadows thrown by the great
trees are infinitely becoming and the
surroundings of exquisite flowers help
to make a fascinating frame for
beauty.
On the afternoon In question. saw
several charming summer costumes,
composed Of silk-finished linen in pale
pastel shades, embroidered in the
openwork style and mounted on sup
pie black silk. This is a novel idea,
but a remarkably effective one. 1t
was first launched by Worth; at least,
/ think so. He made two lovely gowns
Of this order for Princess George of
Greece little while ago and since
then one of somewhat similar design
for the young queen Of Spain.
The latter was carried out in pale
putty-colored linen, richly embroid-
cred ranglaise and mounted on black
serge silk. The skirt was round and
only moderately clinging and there
was a hem. % inches in depth, of
openwork embroidery, the design
showing garlands of vine leaves and
punches Of small grapes. There was
a quaint coatee which was cut away
In front and which had a short basque
at the back and the large collar, as
we'll as the turned back cuffs, was cov-
cred with embroidery.
One Of the perttiest toilettes seen
at Armenonville on the afternoon OF
the Grand Steeple" was that worn by
the viscomtesse de Peloux. The ma
terial was silk finished linen in an
exquisite shade of palest salmon pink
and the openwork embroideries were
done In heavy washing silks. The
round skirt was nodded to the figure
and was embroidered all round as far
up as the knees. At the extreme hem
was bias band of black satin and
the embroidered skirt was worn over
black satin underdress which
showed distinctly.
There was a picturesque coatee of
dull black satin. 1t was rather short
wasted and 1t was double breasted,
fastening at the waist with a fiat
rosette Of satin. The sleeves barely
reached to the elbows, and there was
large collar and turned back cuffs
OF embroidered linen. The coat open
ed In over blouse of fine muslin
and Valenciennes lace.
With this delightful dress the vi.
comtesse de Peloux wore large. fiat
hat OF pale yellow straw. Crossing the
crown and falling loose at the back
was long length of black velvet rib
bon and the crown itself was almost
covered with wild flowers and ears of
golden corn.
Another rarely lovely dress, which
would make an ideal model for a sum.
mer costume, was worn by the prin.
cess de Leon, who has been enter
tanning great deal In a quiet way

white linen and both skirt and coatee
were trimmed with raised embroider-

with frills of Valenciennnes lace. The
skirt was round and the embroider.

ran up into point at the back, while
IN front they went away to nothing.
Inc little coatee had a long, square
basque at the back and this was en-

while over the shoulders was a fischu

waist was ceinture of black satin
and the picturesque hat OF Tuscan
straw was lined with black velvet and
trimmed with shaded ostrich feathers,
which showed delicate tones OF pale

quite suddenly the Parisiennes have
developed a strong affection for the
picturesque coates to which l have
just alluded; quaint little garments
made OF taffetas, serge-silk. dull satin
or hne linen. And very often the coats
are OF quite another color to that of
the dress. Shot taffetas are very much
