Cleaned, but They Do Not
Hold the Dust.

Little except summer gowning was seen
| at the opening OF the Chantilly races, but
in several costumes features suggesting au-
tumn were noted. For instance, on the
newest costumes a great deal Of velvet
which Is to be reckoned with In the au-
tumn TO a great extent-appeared In facings
and other accessories while the coat Of
white silk or satin. so long popular. has
| given place to one of black silk or black
| charmeuse. These are very distinguished
| whether worn with black skirts or. more
pic turesquey, with plain white skirts, or
white barred off In half inch squares with
| thick black line Quite universally worn
with such costume Is a high silk girdle,
black or colored-the newest are colored-
adjusted with one long end hanging from
the back These high-belted sashes are
charming on costumes OF all-white serge;
the coat opening In front prettily displays
the girdle.
II threatened GOODNESS that first day at
Chantilly, and many women wore over lit
tie dresses OF white embroidered crepe and
white wolfe long, loose coats of beige or
white tussor These coats are cut on Rag
Ian lines, or exactly after the fashion of
|
smartly adorned with immense buttons OF
colored stone pearl or cloth. Some of these
+ coats have the upper part of the sleeve cut
in one with the shoulder; attached to this
by a thick cord is the lower part of the
\ sleeve. This cut of shoulder is also liked
on blouses and other corsages In the lat
| ter cases the lower part Of the sleeve is
/ attached to a separate lining and is long or
short. loose or tight according 10 personal

There were almost countless costumes of
| soft white serge, marked by high, wrinkling
| silk girdles fastened in front with large
square pearl buckles or long narrow slides.
| Among these noticeably pretty gowns was
| one OF chalk-whte agaric, striped with lines
| OF kings blue and satin Of the same shade
faced the wide revers Of the coat and It's
| high "Marceau" collar. The narrow skirt
| opened on each side over a panel made Of
the same. with the stripes running across.
Several little tailored costumes, composed
entirely Of white satin, were worn, trimmed
only with white satin-covered or pearl but
tons These costumes are charming and
wholly practical since satin is easily
cleaned and also possesses the quality OF
repellng dirt
