Worn With Charming Effect by
the Best Dressed of the
Smart World of Paris.
QUEEN MARY SETS FASHION
To Her May Be Attributed Mode of
Gowns Of Cloth of Gold-Ali Paris
Pleased With Royal Vlslt-Gala
Night at the Theater.

tary capes which have so COM
pletely captured the affections of the
Parisiennes.
AT the famous Auteuil race meeting,
graced by the presence of King George
and Queen Mary Of England, capes Of
this order were to be seen on every
side. This is a style of garment
which the ultra-chic Parisienne knows
how to wear with extraordinary grace
and charm.
She throws 1t back carelessly from
the shoulders and allows it to fall in
perfectly straight lines from shout
ders to hem.
The model is Rouff creation. 1t is
made of mouse-gray cloth, with Innings
of petunia-red silk The quaint "bre-
telle" sash is made of the same ma
terial, and this sash is passed through
two long Sits at the back of the cape
and then tied in large bow.
The large directoire collar is also
made of petunia silk and the sash is
crossed over the bust, in bretelle fash
ion, and then passed under the arms,
and tied as have Just described.
Such a cape as this would look
splendid in navy blue cloth lined with
Pompeian-red silk, the collar and bre-
telle sash being in soft black satin,
or in hedge-sparrow-egg blue liberty
cashmere with Innings and sash in soft
black surah silk.
Long Capes Much Worn.
Long capes in deep crimson cloth
are very much worn with black satin
costumes, OF the same style of gar
ment in empire-green chiffon cloth,
with Innings of MARITIME" printed silk.
Capes Of this order have completely
taken the place of kimono wraps, even
for evening wear
Some Cf the new evening capes are
as becoming as they are beautiful.
Made of the softest satins and bro
cades, these capes are lined with print
ed or hand-painted gauze and deco
rated with costly embroideries. At
the opera have seen such capes made
of gold and silver gauze and embroid-
cred in delicate silks and glittering
paillettes.
Since Queen Mary's visit cloth of
gold has become a favorite material
for evening dresses and mantles The
Parisiennes were enchanted with the
queens regal appearance at the gala
given at the opera when she wore
trailing gown of cloth of gold yelled
in glistening tulle.
The scene in the famous theater on
that night bafled description All
Paris was present and everyone ap-
peared in the most exquisite gowns
and jewels. 1t was. of course, a tiara
night" and I noticed that many Of the
more effective tiaras were wide rather
than high.
Some of these splendid hair orna-
ments were made in the fern-leaf pat
tern, small. thin fern leaves in dia-
monds standing erect from a band of
single stones.
Madame PoIncare's Costume.
Madame Poincare was one of the
few notable women present who did
not wear diamond tiara. She looked
charming in lovely gown composed
of ivory satin and ivory chiffon richly
embroidered in silver and pearls. In
her dark hair which she always
dresses very simply. she wore a large
diamond aigrette. and on her neck
she had diamond collar of historic
value.
One Of the loveliest dresses in the
opera house was that worn nv
Comtesse de Talleyrand -Perigord This
robe was composed of Ieaf-green satin
yelled in pearl gray chiffon embroid-
cred in green paillettes and diamonds
The corsage was mass of fine en-
broideries and there was a swathed
sash of pale rose crepe de chine which
was fastened at the waist by a cluster
of almond blossoms.
This was a particularly uncommon
gown, and it proved admirably becom-
ing to the countess. Another notable
dress was that worn by Duchess de la
Rochefoucald It was in rose Dubarrv
mirror velvet, with a tunic Of rose
eolored chiffon covered with Indian
embroidery in pale gold threads.
The corsage was decollete in the
1880 style and the duchess wore a
magnificent necklace OF diamonds as
well as a low diamond tiara. White
was very much worn at the opera ON
the occasion OF the gala.
Superb Floral Decorations
The floral decorations were sunerb
and so many uniforms were worn NV
the officers present that white gowns
gave specially good effects. On the
occasion OF the royal visit the Avenue
de fOpera was particularly well deco
rated.
At close intervals large placoues. on
which the royal monogram an
peared surnzounted by gold crou,s,
we're swung from poles. high above
the street, and between each pole
there were long garlands Of male mink
