A MUCH sketched and much talked
" Of costume, worn at the Chantilly
races, is pictured at the left of the
snapshot photograph which appears
here. 1t is In black satin with the
longest Of white lace tunics over it
and a black satin coat. With the
same color combination, used in re-
verse order, is a costume Of white
satin with overdrape of black lace,
at the right Of the picture.
A throng of people attend these
meets for the sole purpose of staging
costumes in the most effective of set
tdngs. These people demonstrate the
modes and launch new styles. They
form the centers Of attraction for that
greater throng that Is in attendance
Tor the purpose of looking at them.
The handsome costume which
caused so many modistes to take no
Gice and so many artists to level cam
'eras or ply pencils, is chiefly remark
able for the oddly of the lace of
which the tunic is made. Patterned
after an old idea, modern lace, show
Ing figures on a net ground, was used
for this tunic. But the figures are
distinctly up to date, showing girls in
sweeping draperies and graceful out
lines encircling the tunic near the bot
tom. The figures and draperies are
cleverly outlined with run-in threads
and they, with the garlands of flowers
and other figures, are brought out in
cameo-like relief by the underskirt of
black satin.

The coat Is not allowed to distract
the attention from this clever posing
of odd lace. 1t is entirely plain, but
quite original in cut. The hat is of
black satin with two extravagantly
long Numidi feathers sweeping be-
yond the brim edge.
The attention of the seeker for new
styles having been seized by this
novel gown, he notes its details to
find new features worth remember
ing. First, it's simplicity; then the
extra length of tunic and width of pet
ticoat and most noticeable, the wide
hat brim, which is radical new de-
parture.
1t is not often that anything SO
striking is at the same time so ele-
CANT The combination of black and
white makes this possible.
The second gown is hardly less
noteworthy and only a shade less orig
inal. The tunic Is Of black net, hav-
ing an insert Of lace wrought In and
a border of very wide velvet ribbon
above the hem. 1t is set on to the
bodice of black net by a band of black
velvet. The long sleeves are of net
and lace in black. There is that orig
inal touch which means everything in
the really gorgeous embroidery in
white figures which ornaments the net
bodice.
The white feather turban worn WITT
this costume is a prominent feature in
styles of the hour,

NO EXPERT WITNESS NEEDED

Libel, Indeed"
Old Miggs repeated the words to
himself DULY and uncomprehending-
ly, as he tramped along to the court,
where he was to appear as a witness
In local libel suit.
Nervously he entered the witness
box.
The fierce looking lawyer eyed him
calculatingly.
do you swear" he asked, that this
Is not your handwriting?"
81 don't think So" stammered
Miggs.
Now, be careful" insinuated the
lawyer. Are you prepared to swear
that this handwriting does not resem-
BILE yours?"
Yes" answered Miggs trembling.
you take your oath that this does
aot in any way resemble your hand
writing?" solemnly queried the
learned man.
yves, sir" stammered the witness,
now thoroughly frightened.
We'll, then, prove it," denounced
the lawyer triumphantly, as he
thrust his head toward the witness.
This action woke the last spark Of
dropping courage in poor Miggs; and,
thrusting forth his head, he yelled;
Zoos l can't write!"
