Lady de Battle MRS. Langtry)
looked very handsome. She was wear
Ing a complicated gown composed of
moonlight blue charmeuse and cut Jet.
The skirt was arranged In draperies
which crossed and recrossed each 9TH
er. and there was a ceinture of dark
crimson peau de suede. which was fin
ished of with a red enamel buckle set
with rubies.
The afternoon was rather chilly and
Lady de Battle was wearing a dark
blue velvet wrap. with large sable
collar, when she entered the cafe.
Her toque was entirely covered with
Jet beads and the high crown gave
support to a panache of black ostrich
feathers.
Favored by Fortune.
This well-known beauty" has been
here since the beginning OF the sea-
son. II is said that she has won a
considerable sum at the tables and 1t
is undeniable that she looks remark
ably we'll pleased with herself, and the
world at large
She is handsomer than ever,
think. She was the center OF .attrac-
ton last night at the opera, when she
OF lemon-yellow velvet, and chiffon
embroidered in silver; the entire front
Of her corsage seemed covered with
diamonds, and at her waist, thrust
into the softly folded sash, there was
an orange colored chrysanthemum sur
rounded by dark brown leaves.
The famous English society beauty,
Miss Mueriel Wilson, was also pres

In pure white. She had white chif.
fon velvet, white chiffon embroidered
and fringed in crystal, white gar
denias at her breast and q single rope

Busy With Entertainments
Mrs. Wilson and her daughter are
entertaining a large house party at
their villa, which is situated In q pic.
turesQue corner OF the Riviera-at st.
Jean. This charming spot Ia within
easy motoring distance of Monte Carlo
or Nice. and all through tie spring
season the villa known as Maryland"
will be filled with the best-known mem
bers Of London society.
| observed this week one OF Beers
latest Riviera models. This dressma-
ker, In common with many others of
the Rue de la Paix and Place Vendome
celebrities, has branch establishments
here at Monte Carlo and also at Nice.
At this season OF the year all the
Partisan dressmakers and tailors dis
play their beet models in the Sunny
South"-models which will be worn
and copied "A Paris In the months of
March and April.
The model 10 free from exaggeration
OF any kind. II is Just one of those
charming afternoon gowns which seem
suitable for almost any occasion. 1t is
smart enough to be worn at an after
noon dance, but not too dressy for or.
binary visiting purposes.
The material of the original model
was sapphire blue taffeta. Sapphire
blue may be said to be one of the col
ors of the spring season, especially in
taffeta and in chiffon velvet.
The skirt had pannier draperies and
the picturesque corsage opened over
one OF the new white linen blouses.
At the neck there was a quaint collar
OF ermine, and narrow bands of the
same fur finished OF the sleeves. One
finds these bouses OF silk-finished
linen worn with all sorts OF different
gowns.
Worn With MedIeI Collar.
Even In conjunction with dainty cor
sages composed of embroidered chiffon
or OF chiffon velvet more often than
not these blouses are finished OF with
Medici collars which roll over at the
back and give q finish to the bolero or
corsage. Very lovely and expensive
buttons are introduced on these
blouses. and they possess a certain
cachet which sets them apart from
their fellows.
The model would look attractive II
copied In navy blue taffeta or In any
of the new shades OF charmeuse. Pan
niers arranged as | have indicated in
my drawing are extremely fashionable
and they will be seen on many OF the
best spring and summer models.
