When the last arrivals have finished
slipping their afternoon tea prepara-
tiOns are made for the play on the
open-air stage in the background OF
the park.
Once more the silence is disturbed
by the honking of auto horns, the
clacking Of whips, silyery laughter
and gay calculations. The play, near
ly always some short opera or op-
rette, begins at 8 o'clock, in the pres
enCe of an elegant audience, which as
soon as II is over hurries to the bril-
liantly Illuminated pavilion, where
walters in magnificent liveries serve
every delicaCy that the most refined
gourmet may imagine.
A band Of red coated musicians
plays sentimental or gay tunes, and
many are the ladies who are secretly
signing for a smile or a glance from
the handsome leader of the orchestra,
who has the reputation of being one
of Paris most dangerous Don Juans,
whose charms no women can resist.
Festival Ends With Dance.
Later on scores of gay parties from
Paris arrive; you meet more and more
acquaintance and friends; you order
more and more champagne; the con-
versation grows more and more ami
mated: the whole crowd becomes one
big party, and the festival ends with
wild, bacchantic dance as the sun
rises and the electric lights fade. You
drink a cup of chocolate, telephone
for your car and drive back to Paris.
A cold bath and you are ready to be-
gin another day just like the one be-

PARIS, July 12.-Thanks to the in
itiative Of one of our leading young
society matrons, the Countess de Mar
mier, the hand lace industry is about
to assume its old ascendancy in
France.
Madame de Mariner, who is a
member of one of our old ducal fam
lilies, has collected the very best spec
linens Of old French lace, and has
given an exhibition. Some of our
most distinguished women have I'M
dertaken to help her in this national
revival of lace.
The idea was suggested to Nine.
de Mariner by Queen Margherita OF
Italy, who has a collection of old laces
said to be the finest in the world.
Seeks Specimens in Tombs.
Her Majesty has made a thorough
study of the history of lace. She even
went so far as to visit the tombs of
the ancient converts Of Italy in search
of specimens.
Her object was not merely artistic
attraction, but also to find work in
their own homes for Italian women
Inspired by this noble example, the
Countess de Mariner is doing the
same for France, but on a much larger
scale.
Toward the end of the eighteenth
century lacemaking reached its zenith
in France. Valenciennys alone en-
plOyed many hundreds of thousands
of women. When Napoleon III had
himself declared Emperor only two
old lace makers could be found in
that town

Rest Gowns Now

Special Gable TO The American.
LONDON, July 12.-No smart wom-
an can now afford to go to a country
house without a few very beautiful
rest gowns" These were formerly
known as tea gowns, but they are
now so elaborate that they are worn
in the interval before dinner after d
days motoring or sport and are not
meant for the bedroom or boudoir.
Many Of the kimono rest gowns
come direct from Japan, and the de-
signs and coloring are gorgeous. Lady
Arlington, who is a mature beauty of
the Oriental type, has ordered some
Of these rest gowns, which are likely
TO be the envy OF her sex when she
goes visiting
One gown, made Of japanese crepe
de chine, is pale mist gray lined with
the softest wistaria mauve silk. Over
the gown are worked great dropping
sprays Of wistaria in mauve silk
shaded as delicately as a japanese
painting, the leaves and long, curling
tendrils being embroidered in pale
almond green silks as a contrast.
The arrangement of these sprays is
wonderful and could only have been
carried out by an artist The gown
is, of course, in kimono form, the
great bag sleeves being edged with
strand silk and silk tassels. Another
gown Is Of pale water blue silk, with
ragged chrysanthemums worked over
IL In faint creamery pink wistaria
and leaves of tender green and white.
The palest shell pink doubleurs
give the finishing touches. Still an
other gown has the same pattern on
a pink ground with a touch of black
and white deity introduced into the
color scheme by means of a couple of
tall storks, which form part of the
picture and provide a strong contrast.
