writes ldalia de villiers in the Boston
Globe.
AL the recent race meetings ! have
seen many costumes and particularly
admired those which were composed
OF taffetas, and fine linen embroidered
IN the open-work style which is called
proderie Anglaise. This mixture of
materials is exceedingly popular this
season and 1t is wonderfully effective.
we md dark taffetas, in such shades
as navy blue and emerald green, used
IN conjunction with ivory white EN-.
Droidered linen; and again, we find a
line silk-finished linen handsomely EN-.
broidered in the open-work style used
with pale gray or white taffetas.
Ivory White and HeIiotrope.
A really charming race gown. worn
recently by Baronne Henri de Roths-
child, was composed of ivory white
embroidered linen with taffetas in a
subtle shade Of heliotrope. The taffeta
SKIRT was plain and rather tight, and
over this there was a draped tunic of
linen. This tunic was cut in princess
style. and the corsage portion was
tight and literally covered with EN-.
broidery. There was a wide-turn-oyer
collar which fell on a coatee of taf-
feta, with turn-back cuffs of linen to
match the collar With this delightful
gown the baronne wore large fiat
black straw hat bordered with black
ostrich feather trimming. At one side
there was a fancy quill, very long and
narrow, made of ostrich feathers. The
only touch Of deep color on the cor
sage was smart little tie of black
satin which was fastened with a dia-
mond horseshoe. AT the same race
meeting Nine. Charles Max, WELL
known Partisan beauty, wore an ideal
costume of white embroidered linen
over old-rose taffeta. The skirt was
set in plaits at the left side, and there
was long panel of embroidered linen
on the right. The coatee was fash
ioned in Russian blouse style, and
there was narrow waist belt Of
black patent leather. With this cos
tune Nine. Max wore a black straw
marquise hat, bordered with black os.
trich feather trimming.
Triumph In Gown Of Taffeta.
recently saw lovely costume, a
Drecoll model, which was worn at a
recent charity fete by Nine. Marie
Leconte, the leading actress at the
Theatre Francois. The draped skirt
was composed of taffeta in beauti-
full shade of pale geranium pink and
the little coatee was of embroidered
linen In rich shade of cream. The
waistband was of satin In a deep
shade of ravens wing blue and a
folded band Of the same outlined the

OF fine white muslin and the tiny but
tons down the front were in diamonds
In a marquise hat of the latest
shape we have the favorite border of
ostrich feather and the large full
aigrette. jutting out toward the back.
These marquise hats are very becom-
Ing to some women, but they need to
be carefully worn. The crown must
be very large, but 1t Is essential that
the hat should come right down on
the head. r..
Week by week the boa rage wakes
more furious. Nowadays no fashion
able woman would consider her ward
robe stocked without at least three OF
these becoming ties.
Splendid Charity Fete.
Apropos charity fetes l must not
neglect to speak of very successful
! function which took place at the
Cirque de Paris a day or two ago. II
was got up by Mile. Rachel Boyer, and
its success cannot be questioned. All
sorts Of amusing entertainments were
given In the old ring; almost all the
best-known artists of Paris gave their
services. M. de Max, the actor, an.
nounced the items in turn, and Mon
Andre de Fouquieres appeared In one
of the pieces in the costume Of an
Indian rajah. Nine. Felia Litvinne oi
the opera sang most exquisitely, and
a sensational turn" was that given
by the famous Spanish dancer. Ro

a delightful evening, and every one
was enchanted
