~ ARIS.-I have sketched this week
one of the new cape-mantles
which are having such a success
in Paris. These picturesque garments
are made in various forms ana III
many different lengths, but the model
| have drawn Is one OF the leaolns
favorites, writes Idalia de Villers In
the Boston Globe.
Here YOU have q mantle which is
graceful. practical and eminentiy De-
coming to slender figures The mooei
shown In my sketch was created oy
Beer. 1t was made Of cherry-red anna
zon cloth and the mantle was hned
with shot taffeta which showed shades
OF red, blue and silver.
This mantle had a gilet, or waist
coat, attached In front, and narrow
waist belt held this gilet In place.
The muslin blouse opened over vest
finished with high Medici collar ana
this blouse was cut down In gen
erous V and bordered with plated
frills.
At the spring race meetings man
ties of this kind are very generally
worn. The Parisiennes carry them
with infinite grace and they are GER
tain to remain in fashion all through
the summer and autumn seasons.
Charming mantles OF similar de-
sign are being made OF charmeuse IN
dark, rich colors; these cloaks are
frequently lined with printed SILKS.

At, the Ritz hotel ! saw a lovely
cape-mantle made Of sGawberry-reo
cashmere The border was embroid-
cred in black and white silks and the
cloak was lined throughout with placK
satin. The costume underneath was
In black taffetas, q draped skirt nm

oorsage Of black chiffon mounted over
white tulle-
The toque which accompanied this
dress was one Of the new torpedo
shapes In coarse black straw, and 1t
was trimmed with immensely high
black and white wings The whole
get up" was charmingly festive and
original At the same restaurant
saw Princess Gerard de Faucingy-
Lucinge wearing a most perfect tall
ored suit composed OF leaf green
Amazon cloth and black silk braid.
The skirt was plated at the sides
and the coat was very long. reaching
to the knees at the back and round
Ing away to nothing in front There
was a directoire waistcoat OF black
and white striped tafretas and little
fat-brimmed hat in black straw,
trimmed with a mass Of black and
crimson cherries.
At another table Nine. Paul De-
schanel. the wife of the president Of
the French "Chambre des Deputies
was entertaining a party OF friends.
Nine. Deschanel is very striking
looking woman, tall and commanding.
with a superb figure and an imperious
manner. She understands the art OF
dress to perfection and never fails to
make a sensation wherever she goes.
When she and Nine. Poincare sit
together in the box Of theater, Nine.
Deschanel quite puts the presidents
wife In the shade. Nine. Poincare is
pretty and charming, but her manner
Is rather retiring.
Splendid Taffeta Gown.
At the Ritz Nine. Deschanel was
wearing a sensation gown composed
of bleu-nuit taffeta. The skirt was
founced from waist to hem and the
corsage opened over an elaborate
blouse Of ivory muslin. There was q
high Medici collar to this blouse and
very long cape-mantle in bleu-nuit
velvet was worn. The mantle was
lined with dark crimson ribbed silk
and 1t had directoire collar OF
skunk. Nine. Deschanel wore a tri-
corne in black silver beaver, and the
only trimming In the Rat was a fiat
rosette OF dull silver braid.
To leave the subject Of dress for q
moment must record the fact that
Isadora Duncan's new school Of dane
ing Is making q great sensation In
Paris. The home OF this wonderful
school" Is at Mendon. on the Seine,
and 1t Is surrounded by beautiful gar
dens and picturesque country.
The Duncan ideas on the subject Of
dancing are 30 we'll known that 1t is
not necessary for me to explain them.
but 1t is interesting to realize that
the young pupils are obliged to re-
main with Nine. Duncan until they
reach the age Of twenty-one.

notice in which lovely little girl Of
