The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-05-17

uCllpi by Few VISITS 10 tne hu'euI
race meetings. ON the AFTERNOON OF
,rrl %. when the King and Queen OF
England visited Auteuil, almost every
dr,.- Il Importance showed long
vast Tine.
MANY NJ the more sensational gowns
were confined at the waist by loose
cash similar to that shown on one OF
,bc sketches published this week. These
s,sn,s ar. passed round the figure from
= m. pack and tied rather low down in
front or a little to one side. Other long
,,.s,.d dresses are fashioned on the
1850 lines. with tight corsages laced or
,.,,,,,,cl at the back. These costumes
are almost always finished on with
doom k.f,d hem and broad sashes OF
sunni, silk are worn with them wound
round the hips.
A. the Autcuil race meeting Queen
4 u.ry wore a pretty silk dress which
was frankly banded in at the waist in
ala fashioned style. The corsage was
,mply crossed in front over dainty
,rc cbcmlscttc and the skirt was beau
lnIl,y draped but without the least
note " cNdggerauon.
The Taris.snucs have been very much
1lyided In their opinions of the Queens
s,yl. Of dress. II was impossible TO
1env that she looked supremacy elegant
and attractive. yet to French taste she
i .,cked that wonderful. elusive quality,
1 chic. Per, onaly think Queen Mary Is
, nor n,yu way very chic, but she Is
1 mot "cI.rn." Any one we'll acquainted
win boulevard slang will appreciate
The difference.
Though plaid materials are still very
hxs atfta rtaa
rs,nen. Il is certain that the rage for
,'ad silks, &C. Is slowly dying out.
This is not surprising considering that
FOR the last few months we have had
Scotch materials of all kinds in fashion.
l Instead of green. red and orange cross
n stripes We are now going to turn our
II attention to black and white stripes
and checks Al the recent fashionable
II race mo,'n black and white has been
The favori,e combination. The Pa
riscnrps have always been devoted to
maybe effects and II rarely happens
hat black and white striped silks re-
main long out NJ favor. Now they are
coming 70 the front with a rush-black
I and white striped silks AID lovely
gowns composed Of black materials and
white materials combined.
For instance, there was a race frock
In black and white taffeta. The cling
!ng undcrdress was in the white silk
anI SCI IN fine pleats; then there was
a long peated tunic OF white tafYeta
and over this a shorter tunic OF black
six muslin The crossed corsage was
made entirely OF black muslin and II
II opened over a chemisctte which was
Il finished with a high Medlci collar in
i White batlste.
The sash. which was carelessly wound
round the waist and tied at the left side.
was made Of Empire green crepe de
i chine and particularly successful
trcorne in black chip completed thor
oughly satisfactory costume. The
iauuty little hat was trimmed with gar
.ands of dark green ivy and with two
large white camelllas. which stood up
rather high at one side.
All the new parasuls are either fash
II oned in pagOdl style or with absolutely
fiat tops, Ike Japanese umbrellas. There
seems no half way measure. A highly
Agina black taffeta parasol OF Japa-
nese persuasion had a long handle in
ebony and jade and right on the top
cluster OF pale yellow lemons was
attached by leaf green velvet bow.
Another parasol OF the same order had
trails OF almond blossom wandering in
and out between frills of fine black
ace In this case the handle was IN
ebony and pink quartz.
The most successful pagoda sun
SPADES are those made of shot taffeta,
MN pleated frills of lace on the border
and punches Of ribbon placed at irregu-
ar intervals all over the top. Many Of
me new parasols have exaggeratedly
long handles and almost all are finished
OH with the ring, covered with thick
SILK which was so ubiquitous In the
Gays OF the Second Empire.
Black lace sunshades mounted ovar
hand painted Gauze may also be noted
among the novelties Of the season. Some
these paintings are really beautiful
ana the lace used is SO fine and trans
parent that 1t hardly hides the design
or the delicate colors.
The fashions II 1914 are almost ex-
asstIateu'y feminine. Frills and f'ounces
