ness is the best public expression Of
her state Of mind.
In private she will be as gorgeous
and sumptuous as you please: she
may wear, as many smart women are
doing at the present moment, an i'm
mepse hoop skirt of brocade. colored
like a tropical parrot, and wreathe
her bare arms in barbaric bracelets
of ostrich feathers; but she wears this
to a dinner or dance at which she
meets only her own circle, the people
who know her attitude toward the af-
fairs of the republic in this increas-
ingly trying time, who will not criticise
her for extravaganza in the hour Of
national anxiety, as they criticised her
ancestors at the end of the eighteenth
century. ~
In public she Is dressed for the most
part in black, in white or in navy blue,
unsensational in cut and depending
upon a matched string of pearls, a pair
of antique and high priced earrings, a
magnificent necklace Of Jade or few
lengths Of exquisite lace which has

give that uncopiable character to her
attire which Is the mark Of exclusive

They are smaller than they have been

A few small turbans of Oriental bro

been worn with dark blue or black

height than the feet of our women.
Extraordinary footgear is a feature
Of the mode. At an afternoon fete
one sees a woman in the thinnest
stockings. with jewelled Greek sandals
which do not hide any Of the lines Of
her foot. and which give her barely
sole to walk on and bite of strap
as support. The great stocking con-

and even the newspapers devote
space ON the four precious pages to
the discussion Of the propriety Of
going without this expensive article

Is turning out lace gowns as fast as
1t can. while women are taking their
lace founces out OF the lavender that
their mothers packed them in to use
in gowns which are all skirt and no
waist.
Why they are not all sunburned to
crisp Is mystery of the art Of cos
metics that II would be interesting to
solve. With their lace frocks they
wear tulle or lace hats with one thick
ness over their FURNISHED hair for a
crown and fioppy brims, garnished as
often as not with aigrettes. Such a
gown makes a parasol an absolute ne
cessity If the day Is as warm as the
Paris weather man delights to give 1t
TO us. We don't understand his Their
mometer, but We do understand the
height of the heat
Capes are not done for by any
means, however, in spite Of their hav-
ing been worn all the winter. When
ever the weather requires a wrap It
is the cape that is chosen. Often its
summer version is in thin silk or
crepe de chine, with a Pierrot collar
OF pinked ruching. The newest are
narrow and fold about the figure, held
together in front. for they are always
without fastening of any kind. TERED
capes are becoming more frequent.
and for winter wear we are promised
a combination Of cape and coat which
has already made tentative appear
ance. Immense fur collars are at
tached TO the satin afternoon capes.
Skirt lengths have been a moot
point between the French and the
American fashion arbiters for more
than a year. On the boulevards one
still sees them so short as to be prac-
ncally negligible. You see a figure
which you think is q nice little twelve
year-old-girl. AS you pass her you
commit the solecism of turning to
look at her youthful face and you re-
ceive something Of a shock at discov-
criug her to be OF middle age. Paris
skirts are several inches shorter than
l American ones, and very short indeed
