In a well-known Rue de la Paix
atelier l saw two gowns which had
been ordered for Nine. Deschanel for
the royal visit. One was a dinner
dress composed of ivory white mirror
velvet and exquisite silver embroid-
cry. The clinglng skirt had pointed
train. and it was cleverly draped at
the sides to give pannier effect.
Embroidery of Silver.
- There was a narrow tablier of sill
yer embroidery worked on fine white
tulle, and the corsage was a mass Of
embroidery and of diamond trellis
work. A cluster of purple and black
irises was worn at the breast. The
second robe was for afternoon wear.
1t was composed Of leaf-green taffeta
and there were two plated tunics fall
ing over draped skirt.
The corsage followed bolero lines,
and there was an exquisite vest of old
lace, while picturesque sash of black
satin was passed round the waist and
drawn through a superb diamond
buckle at the left side. Five diamond
buttons appeared on the front of the
bolero corsage.
Though Queen Mary Is extremely pa
triotic and does everything in her
power to further home industries"
she not infreQuently honors certain
Partisan firms with orders. The late
king followed this line of conduct, and
so did Queen Alexandra.
A few weeks ago three rarely lovely
dinner dresses were made in Paris for
the queen. One Of these was in the
peculiar shade of Lancret blue, which
has always been favorite with her,
and which Ia else the chosen color Of
the young queen OF Spain,
This gown was carried out in bro.
caded satin OF superb quality, The de-
sign was reSally simply but the mate
rial was SO lovely that neither drap'
cries nor fluffy trimmings wers called
for.
The train was long and flowing and
a length OF historic lace was draped
across one side OF the oorsaSe and
then drawn round the figure and fast.
ened low down at the back with a
loose spray Of chiffon roses set In
dark leaves. The corsago itself was
only moderately decolleto.
Splendid Evening Robe.
The queen has get her face against
exaggerations In this connection and
her example Is OF courge followed by
those who are closely connected with
the court. The other robe was In
ivorywhite satin, with graceful drap-
cries Of Indian muslin covered with
pale gold embroideries. The muslin
was fine as chiffon and the embroid-
cries real works OF Grt. An effective
touch OF deep color was introduced in
the waist band, which was IN violet
velvet.
A little time ago the queen had an
other piece Of her priceless Indian en-
broidery introduced on an evening
mantle of apricot mirror velvet. The
lining of this mantle was silver-gray
satin and the cmbroideries formed
cape hood which was as graceful as It
was original In design.
Two most noticeable hats, specially
created for the race meeting at Au-
teuil, to which have already alluded,
and which the king and queen at
tended, deserve notice. These fiat
shapes, raised high at the back over
bandeaux of ribbons or flowers, are ex-
ceedingly popular In Paris.
Some of these hats are pushed or
the face, little front; others are
drawn down tightly over the hair and
ears. One was in Tuscan straw, with !
lining OF dull blue velvet and trim
ming of shaded roses framed in black
silk leaves. This hat is to be worn
in conjunction with a flounced skirt In
dark blue taffeta and a long cape in
blue velvet with lining of shot silk.
Eccentric in Design.
A earlier model was rather more
eccentsic In outline but equally pic
turesque. 1t was made of supple black
erin" and lined with crushed-straw-
berry panne. The mounts at either
side were in black, mixed with metal
lie threads which showed red lights.
This curious hat was designed to &C
company a black taffeta costume.
which had gathered founces from
waist to hem. The peculiar thing
about this dress was that 1t seemed !
