| White linen always plays an impor-
tant part in the comedy OF fashion at
! Trouville. This material gives the best
effects on the famous "pianches." the

OF white wood planks which skirts the
sands. The Parisiennes are very fond
| of wearing pure white at Trouville:
| they say, and with reason, that there

One of the most spirftuelle and
| charming women ever met the unfor-
tunate Mile. Lanthelme. more than once

missed the August season at Trouville
and never failed to wear the soft white
gowns which she believed 90 much APP
preciated by the sea- recalled her
laughing words when the news reached
Paris OF her tragic death. In purest
round her throat, she sank to rest In
the arms OF swift waters
In the full length figure / have
sketched this week have indicated
one of the most popular sashes Of the
moment. These long lengths OF supple
silk are very cleverly arranged by Par
isian dressmakers. They are made to
mould the hips. with long ends which
are wound lightly round the waist,
passed forward over the hips and then
tied loss down In front In Fatma fash
ion.
Nearly all Of the new Trouville gowns
show sashes OF this order In dark
fouiard or In soft charmeuse or taffeta.
On plain white muslin dresses. with
founced skirts, spotted foulard makes
an effective sash for example, a navy
blue ground with large white spots. %
dark crimson ground with circles Of
Egyptian blue. The sash shown tn my
full length drawing was finished with
curious fringe. This is an original idea
and effective II arranged by a master
hand.
