have been worn by woman OF the
East.
In the first place there were long and
very full Turkish trousers made OF deep
orange silk. over these trousers a long
,unic made Of lemon yellow wolfe Ninon
vas thrown. and the corsage, Of the
sane material as the tunic, was Of the
Russian blouse order. Then there was
wide Bayadere sash wound round the
waist and hips. the ends being loosely
knotted at one side. The sash showed
STRIVES Of black. white, red and orange.
and there were fringes In all these coll

over a chemisette Of white Indian mus

A famous French actress has declared
more than once that this style Of cos
tune makes an ideal rest gown. and
probably she is right. All the materials
we're supple and not easily crushed. and
certainly the general effect was pictur-
seque. | must not neglect to mention
that a round Juliet cap covered with
gold embroideries was to be worn with
the costume. do not think the Juliet
cap was In the period. but since II was
becoming one must not be too critical.
The other afternoon I saw pretty
Russian singer make a sensational en-
trance into the Hotel Mirabeau at the
tea hour. She was wearing a smart lit
lie gown made Of bleu mutt taffeta; but
that was not sufficiently uncommon 10
attract general attention. The garment
which captured eyes was the immense
capa in black Liberty satin, lined with
kponica pink brocade. The mantle was
long enough to reach the knee line and
Immensely wide. 1t was circular. and II
swung on the shoulders after the man

fighters.
Nor was this ALL On her head the
singer wore genuine Spanish mon
tero. the picturesque cap made Of black
chenille which Is always worn by to-
.nros. II was a daring costume, really
quite simple in detail. but SO original
and unexpected that people stared
openly.
All the smart society women in Paris
are now wearing the long. loose capes
q which I spoke in recent article.
The capes have already become sort
a uniform and are likely to remain
popular all through the summer. They
look particularly well in bleu mutt chif-
fon cloth with a lining Of soft black
atin and roll over collar of the same
material. They are also effective in
old rose faced cloth. with q lining Of
black satin, or in Egyptian blue mirror
velvet with a lining Of printed gauze.
They must be worn with a jaunty air (:
otherwise they look dowdy, II not alb

Sketches Of two new millinery models
are given this week. The fiat Niniche
shape, with no crown and trimming
OF lovely flowers. represents all that Is
new and fashionable in Paris.
This shape is having an immense
success 1t has been found almost uni
versally becoming and the Parsiennes
understand how to give it IN effective
side tilt. These hats are raised on very
high bandeaux at the back. and the
space between the hat brim and the
pair Is filled in with full bows Of ribbon
OF with mass of flowers.
This particular shape is only suitable
Tor afternoon wear. with rather elab-
crate style Of dress. There are other
Shapes Of similar order which are
raised at one side. and they are. many of
MEM exactly the right thing to wear
with a tailored suit in the morning.
The more effective Niniche models
are those made OF Tuscan straw and
trimmed with broad velvet ribbons and
loose branches of flowers. Sapphire
nlue velvet ribbons are very much used
ana also vivid shade of japonica pink:
u course black velvet ribbons are al
ways charming on Tuscan hats.
