with dainty garments suitable for
4 country wear.
These costumes are not, strictly
speaking, Trouville models. They are
/ something besides the elaborate fash
ions of the summer season and the
equally elaborate, though different,
fashions which will make a sensation
at Trouville-D eauville, Biarritz and
l San Sebastian.
/ Some of these country dresses are
delicious in their dainty freshness, and
the favorite combination of material

Chez Paquin. ! saw three ideal mid

II luxurious SIMPLICITY" but what
mean is thet the effect was simple and
countryiike. Two of these costumes
had been created for Princess Guy de
Faucigny, who is said to be one of
| the most witty and one of the most
graceful women in French society.
This little gown had fiounced skirt
of the fine muslin which the Pari-
siennes call First Communion"
The hem OF each fiounce was seal
Hoped and worked over with fine linen
thread. Then there was the smartest
little coatee In white silk-fnished
linen. This coat was semi-tight fit

in front 1t was short and rounded
Accessories All Perfect.
There were fiat mother-of-pearl but
tons and the muslin blouse which
showed where the coat opened was in
set with motifs of real valenciennes
There was a white suede belt with
elaborate motherof.pearl fittings, and
the hat which was to be worn with
shape, covered with black chiffon vel
vet.
This hat was perfectly plain, with a
band Of corded black ribbon round the
crown. II was accompanied by white
veil in real lace, and it represented the
last word On the subject of summer
fashions. These large sailor hats Gov
cred with black chiffon velvet will be
the rage at the smart seaside resorts
next month.
Black velvet seems strange mate
rial for a midsummer hat, but this
somber material has taken possession
of the fashionable world. AT the Grand
Prix and Les Drags" black velvet

exceeding;. effective.
coatee Also in shantung.
A second dress of the same order as
| that just described was mnde of SPOT
ted muslin and shantung silk. The
skirt was arranged in three gathered
fiounces. each fiounce being bordered
by narrow ruche.
Then there is a broad sash OF ivory
taffeta which nodded the hips, with
| the ends tied down at the back and
| a short coatee In pale beige shan

and the gauntlet cuffs were lined with
! white taffeta and the blouse was a
very clever combination OF spotted
muslin and maltese lace in the exact
shade of beige of the shantung.
1t has sean said, with some rea-
son. that long tunics are ubiquitous
in Paris. II certainly is true that
the ultra-long tunic has become a
sort OF uniform. But the dress trim
ming which is going to carry all be-
fore 1t during the late summer and fall
seasons is the gathered founees. Near
ly all the best models nov being Gre

founces In one form or another
three-tier hounces in chantiliy lace
narrow, gathered founces, which give
a crinoline effect, and which recall
the picturesque dresses OF 1890. II is
a case OF founces, and yet against

when these bounced dresses are ac-
companied By little coates In flow
